After surviving the tragic Learjet crash that killed four people last month, former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker is opening up about that terrifying night in Columbia, S.C. The 32-year-old tattooed drummer, who was severely burned in the crash, tells Us Weekly about his immense fear of flying. He reportedly avoided airplanes and drove across the country by bus with his father and ex-wife Shanna Moakler, says the mag. "I hate planes," Travis says. ""My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened ... well, I'm just thankful to be alive! I'm just grateful to be here at all." Travis and fellow musician DJ-AM were the only two survivors of the crash that killed two pilots, as well as Travis' bodyguard and assistant. He is being treated at a Los Angeles burn hospital after his release from a Georgia hospital last week. "I am doing the best I can possibly be," Travis tells Us. "I'm so anxious to get out of here. ... I've just been in surgery after surgery. I have third-degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands has second-degree burns and one has third-degree burns." He goes on to tell the mag, "I'm trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again. I'm going nuts not being able to see them and spend time with them" Travis and Shanna have a 5-year-old son, Landon, and a two-year-old daughter, Alabama. Doctors say the drummer is expected to make a full recovery from his injuries.

Madonna is once again stirring up controversy, this time for taking swipes at VP nom Sarah Palin. According to Us Weekly, the singer repeatedly heckled Palin at her show in NYC while performing "I Love New York" -- in which the lyrics "get off my street" are part of the chorus -- she reportedly said, "you know who can get off of my street? Sarah Palin! I'm gonna kick her ass if she don't get off of my street!" They report she also mocked the Alaska governor's accent and sarcastically told the crowd, "I love her." Previously, the New York Post wrote that Madonna slammed Palin just days earlier during her set at the Meadowlands in Jersey by saying, "Sarah Palin can't come to my party! Sarah Palin can't come to my show. It's nothing personal."

Rocco DiSpirito and his pro partner Karina Smirnoff would have been ousted from "Dancing with the Stars" this week if Misty May-Treanor hadn't bowed out due to injury, said the judges on Tuesday night's elimination-free results show. “You’ve got to raise the game, come back to impress,” Bruno Tonioli urged the near-evictees, while Len Goodman assured the masses that Misty and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy would not have been going home, had she been healthy: “Misty had the potential to get all the way through to the final,” Len said. In a new twist, this week’s scores will be combined with next week’s -- meaning the low-scoring duos will have a tougher mountain to climb when they take the dance floor next Monday. Aside from Rocco and Karina, one such duo who’ll need to bring their A-game are Cloris Leachman and Corky Ballas, who were declared safe at the top of the results show, despite posting the lowest point total for the third week in a row. As usual the night's musical guests eased some of the tension in the air. Jennifer Hudson belted out a powerful number that got siblings Julianne and Derek Hough footloose. And the Rockettes wowed with their trademark high-kicks and thousand-watt smiles.

Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston who has some trouble opening movies on the big screen, is still considered to be an A-lister to the Hollywood set and has been reportedly offered a ridiculous $21.7 million to do a sequel to the horrible flick 'The Break-Up' with Vince Vaughn.

How did Charlize Theron manage to mess this up? Check this out: The actress was paid $20 million to wear a Raymond Weil watch 24/7.
