Travis Barker has apologized to fans for his decision stay home for the Australian leg of Blink 182's upcoming tour, as he is still too traumatized to fly following his terrifying plane crash in 2008.

Travis wrote on Facebook, "I still haven't gotten over the horrific events that took place the last time I flew when my plane crashed and 4 people were killed, two being my best friends. I gave the band my blessing to take another drummer if they still wanted to do the tour without me. I hope to come to Australia again some day perhaps by ship if need be. Unfortunately, there wasn't a boat that worked with the schedule this time around. Once again I'm sorry to all the fans."

On September 19, 2008, Barker's Learjet 60 crashed while taking off from Columbia Metropolitan Airport in South Carolina, and four people died, including Barker's close friend and assistant Chris Barker, along with two crew members and a security guard. Barker suffered second and third degree burns, and though his friend Adam Goldstein (nee DJ AM) also survived, he died of an accidental drug overdose a year later.

Barker has not flown since the accident, and he usually relies on sea travel to get around. After all that he's been through, we don't blame him...

What an adorable family!

Project Runway's Heidi Klum enjoyed the gorgeous LA weather while hanging out with beau Martin Kristen and her kids in Venice.

Seal's ex seemed to be having a blast with all four of her kids ... Leni, Henry, Johan and Lou. Kristen seems to be fitting in quite well, and as Heidi's buff bodyguard, the kids love using him to get on top of the monkey bars. Cute!

We love Lou's fashionable beach attire. You go, girl!

Billy McKnight, the ex boyfriend of country singer Mindy McCready, says the fact she committed suicide isn't shocking.

During an appearance on the Today Show, McKnight said:

McCready, 37, and McKnight have a six-year-old son together.

According to the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office, McCready died "from what appears to be a single self-inflicted gunshot wound."

The singer has a long history of battling substance abuse.

Country singer Mindy McCready, 37, was found dead today in an apparent suicide, according to reports.

Andrea Canning, a reporter with NBC Dateline, Tweeted, “Just got a call from Mindy McCready's best friend that she shot and killed herself this evening. My heart breaks for her two boys. RIP”

Official confirmation of the death and the cause of death has not been made, but E! News reports the singer's body was found in Heber Springs, Ark. today, just a day after her father Tim left to return to his Florida home after an extended visit with his daughter.

A source tells E!, "She was in good spirits and seemed to be fine," when her father left. Neighbors reportedly heard gunshots at her home today and a source tells E!, "She shot herself and the dog."

After McCready's boyfriend David Wilson, 34, died of gunshot wounds just over a month ago, the singer was involuntarily admitted to rehab and was struggling with a bout of recurring substance abuse, according to her father:

"Since boyfriend [Wilson] shot himself she has been in bed for 3 weeks. Sleeps all day. Drinks all night and is taking Rx drugs. Not bathing or even helping take care of her 2 children," her father testified, according to court documents.

McCready had lost custody of her two sons - Zander, 6, and Zayne, 9 months -- at least temporarily, after a court deemed her an unfit parent just after Wilson's death.

An investigation into Wilson's death is still incomplete, though McCready had claimed it was suicide from a self-inflicted gun wound. She had balked the suggestion she could have murdered her boyfriend, saying, on NBC's Dateline on Jan. 29, "He didn't just touch my heart, he touched my soul."

She later told E! News she was drinking "too much alcohol because she was still mourning David's passing."

They even brought the pooch along!
