We doubt this will help the poor ticket sales, but…
Gym Class Heroes frontman and Katy Perry's jilted former boytoy Travis McCoy has been invited to replaceNicki Minaj supporting Rihanna on the road with the Swamp Thing otherwise known as Ke$ha for their Last Girl On Earth tour!
The trio will kick off the festivities on July 2nd in Auburn, Washington!
That is, if they can sell enough seats!
What do U think?? Is Travis a worthy addition to the Last Girl On Earth tour??
It's been well over a year since Blink 182'sTravis Barker and DJ AM were severely injured in a Learjet crash in South Carolina but now, the National Transportation Safety Board has finally concluded why the accident occurred.
Investigators have deemed the aircraft's under-inflated tires to have been the problem and hope their finding will encourage people to check tire pressure in business jets more frequently. Apparently, during their investigation, they learned that operators of air charters often aren't aware how rapidly the tires of some business jets can lose pressure and aren't checking tire pressure frequently enough.
Though this information doesn't bring back the four lives that were lost due to the tragedy, perhaps now with this information, more lives can be saved from such accidents.
Even though DJ AM's estate settled their suit against Global Exec Aviation this past winter, the plane operation company responsible for the crash that injured AM and Travis Barker and killed four others, has slapped a suit against the plane's manufacturers.
Global Exec Aviation and ITAS Inc. are seeking more than $1 million from Learjet and Bombardier, stating in the legal docs that the aircraft had "unreasonably dangerous defects" before the horrendous crash.
Travis already settled, but now it's time for everyone else to get what's owed to them.
The family of Travis Barker's assistant and friend, Chris Baker, who passed in the 2008 plane crash, has been awarded $4,375,000 in the wrongful death lawsuit.
Clay Lacy Aviation, Goodyear Tire and Rubber, Learjet paid the $$$$$, which will go to Chris’ 3-year-old son Sebastian to purchase annuities. It is estimated that he will receive $17,404,456.40 over the course of his life.
Baker's widow, Otilia Villar Baker settled for $7,625,000, but the money does not replace a father or husband.
You know, it's just so out there that we think it might work!!
Mary J. Blige has reportedly done TWO covers of Led Zeppelin tracks for the international reissue of her album Stronger With Each Tear, due out on Monday!!
Blige recruited Travis Barker, Randy Jackson, and guitarist Steve Vai to collaborate with her on Stairway To Heaven, and apparently had so much fun that she decided to cover Whole Lotta Love, just for the hell of it!
Girlfriend said:
"I did Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven and Whole Lotta Love — it's crazy! I am a Led Zeppelin fan. I'm not going to say I've been to their concerts, but I've listened to their music since I was a child, and it's always moved me, especially Stairway to Heaven, and Whole Lotta Love is just fun. I want y'all to hear it."
WE want to hear it, too!! Why is it only be released internationally??
Well, we suppose that's what the internetz is for!!
