GREAT NEWS for fans of Travis Barker and well...just great news for anyone who is compationate and just hoped for the best for anyone who might be in that awful situation...Travis has been released from the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital in Augusta, Georgia..."Travis Barker was discharged from the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital this morning," a spokesperson said and "He left in good condition."

Travis...who's 32, had been recovering there for the past nine days after suffering second and third degree burns following a Learjet crash that killed four people. Despite burns on his torso and lower body, Barker has been "trying to stay upbeat," his pal Bill Nosal recently told the Associated Press. There are also reports that Travis won't be walking for awhile since his feet were badly burned...DJ AM, meanwhile, recently updated his Facebook page since his release. "Adam Goldstein is the luckiest guy alive," he wrote in a status update on Friday...and speaking of Adam...he went to the first memorial service ;(

DJ AM joined mourners at a memorial service for Chris Baker on Monday, 10 days after the plane crash that killed Baker and three others. DJ AM and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker were the only survivors; both were badly burned. On Friday, DJ AM, was released from the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital in Augusta, Georgia. He returned to Los Angeles by bus.  "Both Travis and DJ AM wanted to be back for [the funeral]. Family and friends had a private memorial for Baker on Saturday. "All his family and friends that he grew up with were there," says his mother, Linda Warn... "The Impala Club that he used to participate in when he was younger brought their cars and parked them all out front.  They also dug out some photos of Chris and we made them into large photos for the memorial." ;(

Heather Locklear was arrested last night in Santa Barbara on suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance.

A resident reported Heather was "driving erratically" while pulling out of a parking lot. The California Highway Patrol then found Locklear's car parked on a state highway and blocking a lane. After talking with her, the officer determined she was under the influence of something and arrested her.

She was released without having to post bail.... ;0 hang tough girl!!
