Plane crash survivor Travis Barker has sued the companies linked to the tragic South Carolina accident that killed two of his friend and injured him and DJ AM.

According to reports, the drummer sued the plane's owners, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., and an airplane maintenance company.

He's seeking more than $25,000 in damages.

That's it????

We would be seeking more like 25 MILLION!

The paperwork filed says the companies improperly operated and maintained the Learjet that overshot a runway and burst into flames on September 19th.

The mother of one of the crash fatalities, Charles Monroe Still Jr (Travis' bodyguard), has joined Travis in the lawsuit.

She's seeking damages for grief and sorrow, funeral expenses and loss of earnings.

DJ AM's lawsuit plans, if any, were not mentioned in the report.

This has to be one of the saddest stories of the year.

When we saw the pic above from this past weekend, we just knew the flame between DJ A.M. and Mandy Moore was rekindled!

Someone who was there revealed to Us Weekly, "He was holding her hand, and they were rubbing each other's backs."

A source close to A.M. confirms, "It's back on. Since the accident, it's blossomed into something again. Mandy said, 'I like this guy a lot and I want to see where it can go again. Life is too short to not be with someone you really care about.'"

We're so happy for them!

Federal aviation spokespeople are now saying - officially - that the little Learjet's tires were stripped to nothing as the aircraft careened down the runway to its ultimate fate, killing 4 and leaving DJ A.M. and Travis Barker badly burned.

Recordings from the cockpit indicate that the crew suspected a blown tire and attempted to abort take-off. But traveling at over 100 miles per hour, the plane swiftly ran out of runway and tore through a wall, crashing into an embankment.

The runway is now scarred where the bare rims of the aircraft sparked across it.

The National Transportation Safety Board reported today, Wednesday, that there was almost no rubber remaining on the Learjet's tires and that its brakes were severely damaged.

That sucks.

DJ A.M. and Mandy Moore attended the Friendly House's 19th Annual Awards Luncheon at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on Saturday.

Has the flame been rekindled?

Mandy did fly out to be at A.M.'s hospital bedside immediately after last month's deadly plane accident.

We always liked these two together!

Crazy, crazy!

DJ A.M. revealed in a new interview that while being treated for burns he sustained in last month's fatal plane crash, he learned of a potentially fatal blood clot in his leg:

"In the burn center, they did a scan and found that I had a blood clot that in this flight could have traveled to my heart and I could have died."

A.M. explained that the clot was a result of his frequent flying to his various gigs at clubs nationwide.

He said he's clocked almost 2 million frequent flier miles!!!

The celebrity DJ went on to say, "I have a great deal of faith that everything happens for a reason. I put myself in God's hands."

We're thankful that he's on the road to full recovery!!

Tuesday night, The Avalon in Hollywood hosted a Welcome Home party for DJ A.M.. The evening, a benefit for the victims of last month's horrible plane crash, featured some of the hottest DJs spinning right now, including Cut Chemist, Mix Master Mike, Steve Aoki, Mom Jeans, and Mark Ronson.

One of our Perezcious readers was in attendance and sent us a rather scathing review of Ronson's set.

They say that while everyone else got the dance floor kicking, Mark Ronson slaughtered the floor with a snoozefest set. The DJ lazily "played one song after the other in their entireties."

It's a club! Not a radio station!

The reader goes on to say that not even the event's centerpiece, DJ A.M., paid attention.

Sounds like it was a total suck-set, if Mark is supposed to be better than his Lohan-loving sister.

Fortunately, the night had its better moments, with guest rapper will.i.am throwing some rhymes over Steve Aoki's beats.

Sounds hot!

Even if Ronson is not!

We love seeing DJ A.M. out and about, feeling well enough to do what celebrities do best: go get Starbucks!

We hope he picked himself up a tasty pastry treat. We're fond of their old fashioned doughnuts ourselves. But only on our one cheat day a week!

For a man who survived a fatal plane crash and suffered second and third degree burns, A.M. looks pretty damn good.

He's rocking the shaved patch, a result of a recent skin grafting operation. Rock it with pride. You're a survivor!

Have all the Starbucks you want, A.M.!!!
