Spokesperson Beth Frits told press, “Travis Barker was discharged from the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital this morning. He left in good condition.”

The “So What” singer has been staying in the UK as she filmed an appearance on ITV1’s For One Night Only, also paying a visit to the Capital Radio Breakfast Show earlier this morning.


From here, the 29-year-old musician is headed off to Paris - where she’ll most definitely be turning up at the catwalk shows as part of Paris Fashion Week.

Meanwhile, Pink’s hit single “So What” continues to find acclaim around the world, as it has maintained the top spot in numerous charts around the world for the second straight week.

Joined by her boyfriend, Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy, the “I Kissed a Girl” songstress happily posed for the paparazzi, sporting a white strapless flowery knee-length dress with lavender heels.


And it sounds like Katy Perry enthusiasts will have a chance to own a piece of the up-and-coming popstar - she’s announced the production of a limited edition doll.

According to a report, only 500 dolls will be made, retailing at $49.99, and they’re sure to go quick. Capital Music Group’s Senior VP Bob Semanovich told press, “It makes good sense for Katy who is a blossoming global pop culture superstar. It’s a perfect extension of her brand as she’s music, fashion and everything pop culture.”

As for the ongoing drama with her father Michael Lohan, the “Mean Girls” actress is reportedly looking into taking out a restraining order against him. She recently told press that her dad should be “on medication” to stop him from continually publicly shaming her.

An inside source told press, “Lindsay is going to take out an order of protection against Michael. He is behaving so erratically that she’s terrified he’ll do something to her. She’s contacted her lawyer to arrange this. Ali already has an order of protection against him, as does Dina. No one is speaking with him until he gets help.”

Miley Cyrus: Bicycle Babe

There’s nothing like a leisurely Sunday afternoon bicycle ride to make you feel like a kid again. And earlier today (September 28), Miley Cyrus was spotted riding around Toluca Lake, California with her family in tow.

The “7 Things” songstress looked to be having a marvelous time, sporting braided pigtails beneath a funky multicolored ballcap, with a white tank top, grey Free City sweats, and flip flops.

In the new “Hottest 25 Under 25” poll by Moviefone, Cyrus was named as one of the up-and-coming Hollywood stars bound for massive fame in the next ten years.

The “My New BFF” reality starlet and her talk show host pal happily posed side-by-side while meeting up at the Apple restaurant in West Hollywood on Friday (September 26).

As previously reported by Gossip Girls, Miss Hilton then headed over to local gay bar, the Abbey, to screen her new movie “Repo! The Genetic Opera”.

Paul Newman Loses Fight with Lung Cancer

To be missed by the many whom he inspired, Hollywood legend Paul Newman has lost his battle with lung cancer at the age of 83.

According to Paul’s spokesman, Marni Tomljanovic, the Oscar winning actor passed away on Friday (September 26) at his home in Westport, Connecticut.

Press reports tell that Newman had been given only weeks to live after completing chemotherapy treatment at a New York hospital this past month.

Newman, who was also strongly involved with charity and business ventures, is best known for his role in 1967’s Cool Hand Luke, and for starring opposite his close friend Robert Redford in 1969’s Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and 1973’s The Sting.

Throughout his glorious career, Paul was nominated for 10 Oscars over 50 years, winning the Best Actor prize for his role in The Color of Money in 1986. He also won two Golden Globe Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Cannes Film Festival Award and an Emmy award.

In 2007, Newman announced his retirement from show business, saying “You start to lose your memory, you start to lose your confidence, you start to lose your invention. So I think that’s pretty much a closed book for me.”

He leaves behind his wife, actress Joanne Woodward, and their three daughters, Elinor, Melissa and Claire - along with two daughters, Susan and Stephanie, from his first marriage to Jackie Witte.

And in a recent interview, Kendra revealed that as she transitions into her next season of life, she has something a little more conventional in mind.

“I want something I’ve never had. I do want to have kids. I do want to get married. I do want to have that whole, you know, American dream.”

The “Hella Good” songstress spent the afternoon with her 2-year-old at the Italian Feast/Fair of San Gennaro on North Highland Avenue in Hollywood.


And the mommy/son duo looked to be having a marvelous time, as Kingston enjoyed the rides while Gwen snapped up plenty of pictures for the family photo album.

Paris Hilton’s Private Screening of “Repo”

It’s not the most obvious choice for a film screening locale, but last night Paris Hilton took her new movie “Repo! The Genetic Opera” to the masses at the Abbey, a gay bar in West Hollywood that also happened to be playing host to Lance Bass’s birthday party.

Joined by her boyfriend Benji Madden, who sported a black DCMA t-shirt and black jeans, Miss Hilton looked sultry in a black corset-style top, black leather jacket, and skin-tight vinyl pants.


According to Paris, her relationship with Madden is stronger than ever. She told press, “We’re really happy. We just had our seven month anniversary. I’m really in love and excited to be in a great relationship.”

As for her new show “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF,” she said that while the winner will attain BFF status, there’s no replacing her original BFF Nicole Richie. “Nicole is more than a best friend. She’s like a sister since we’ve been best friends since we were two… She hasn’t seen the show, but she’s looking forward to it.”

Jermaine Dupri: Travis Barker to Leave Hospital in About Two Weeks

After last Friday's devastating plane crash that killed four people and critically injured DJ AM and Travis Barker, Jermaine Dupri says his friend Barker is doing well.

"He's doing good, he's gonna be alright. He's just got a lot of healing to do," Dupri, who visited the former Blink 182 drummer in the hospital last Sunday, told PEOPLE exclusively Thursday night.

Dupri, who was celebrating his 36th birthday at Chicago's The Underground Nightclub after attending a concert by girlfriend Janet Jackson, said that Barker is also doing well emotionally.

"He's supposed to send a message out to everybody in a couple of days to let everybody know that he's feeling better," he said. "He's definitely feeling the love from everyone."

Customized Room
Barker's improved spirits could be due to his newly outfitted hospital room: "He's just now getting everything in the hospital set up for him – iPods, computers, everything that he needs," says Dupri, who estimates Barker will be in the hospital another two weeks. "You got to make sure he is comfortable."

The music producer – and Barker's partner in the So So Def clothing line – said news of the crash put him in a state of shock. "I was at home, somebody called me early in the morning," he recalled. "It was kind of crazy and I didn't really comprehend what had happened."

Yet he says he has no doubt his friend will fully recover. "I think everything will be cool when I get back there [to see him]. He'll probably be up and talking crazy and all that – back to his old self."

The night before, LiLo reported caused a bit of a scene as she visited her DJ mate, Samantha Ronson, while she was spinning at a BlackBerry party at Il Cielo.

“There were a bunch of girls crowding around the booth, and Lindsay pushed them and flipped the group the finger,” a partygoer told E! News. “Her bodyguard was apologizing to people, saying she just gets tired of people taking her picture.”

When asked about her client’s bad behavior, Leslie Sloane Zelnik (Lohan’s rep) offered up the standard reply, saying, “This is not true.”
