The MTV Curse: The Barkers call it quits

[*Jibrielle*]

aww this is sad, they seemed to be so in love!

 

[VainJane]

A friend close to Travis Barker has told the press that the Blink-182 drummer ended his marriage to Shanna Moakler because Shanna is never home, sleeps until 1:00 in the afternoon, doesn’t spend enough time with the kids, and may have been unfaithful. Barker, via a representative, has responded to the allegations, saying that sadly they are true. Moakler refuted his statement, explaining that she is still in love with Barker and has been 100% faithful and a devoted mother. She says, “The truth will prevail.”

Eh....not surprised that she cheated....Travis is really gross
Maybe the TV show WAS keeping them together and then once it went off the air, Shanna started partying .

She seemed like more of a pretty house cat than a wife. Always laying around complaining... I'd give her the boot too

I CAME ACROSS CONDOMS(WE DONT USE CONDOMS EVER)

That explains all the babies

Thanks for the post Style_Savy, that was a very interesting article indeed

(though it is hard to get past all of the 'wit's )

 

[fashionicon]

I watched Meet The Barkers, and I'm pretty sure the cameras showed her sleeping in until 1.

It'll be intresting to see her on Dancing With The Stars though..

 

[kikidior]

would it be too far off to say that he deserves someone better. he seems to be a pretty nice guy all in all. he's cute (but the tatoos are overkill, then again, he's a rocker).

 

[eternitygoddess]

Holy crap, this is getting nasty. I mean, telling this to the world on MYSPACE? Come on man! At least do it through your publicist. MySpace is tacky.

 

[VainJane]

MySpace is tacky.

I hate MySpace...it's so high school


More news about the Barkers.....

(andPOP) Travis Barker's soon-to-be-ex-wife has broken her silence on her marriage ending with the Blink 182 singer, and did so in the form of a message on her MySpace page. "I am very devestated [sic] and very much heartbroken over the demise of my marriage and for the upset of my family," Shanna Moakler wrote on her message board. Barker then fought back with a post of his own on his own page saying that he took care of the kids while she slept in, and that she often was out late partying. "I was informed by our realtor [sic] that Shanna was doing Dancing wit [sic] the Stars? Why wouldn't she tell me, right?" he wrote. "A MySpace account? Where she posts pix of our kids and her and I half naked??????? Weird [sic]???" Barker wrote. He also said he got suspicious of his wife when he found condoms in their home because the two did not use condoms. But it didn't end there. Moakler retorted back via her publicist. "I have been 100 percent faithful in my marriage and a devoted mother, two facts of which Travis is well aware. I still happen to be very much in love with Travis, and his using the media to take low blows at me isn't just embarrassing, it's hurtful," she said. She also claimed the entry was not written by Barker, and said she was afraid for her safety. Soon after that, Barker removed his statement from his MySpace Page. Looks like the reality show for these two stars hasn't ended yet.

She always seemed like a gold digger to me. Like she was trying to have as many famous men's babies as she could so she'd be set for life.

I hate MySpace...it's so high school

thank goodness i'm not the only one. although i must say i don't hate it as much as i just don't care for it. i'm 19 and i'm the only one my age who doesn't have one (at least that i know of). and yes, using that kind of public domain to make a declaration regarding personal issues is way too vulgar.

Barker: I Still Love Shanna

Travis Barker isn't keeping quiet about the reasons he's divorcing his wife and Meet the Barkers costar Shanna Moakler.

On Aug. 14 – a week after he filed for divorce – Barker, 30, posted a scathing message on his MySpace.com page accusing Moakler, 31, of partying hard, not spending enough time with their kids (Landon, 2, and Alabama, 7 months) and sleeping too much.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Barker explains, "I was hearing things in the press that Shanna was saying about me and it got to the point where it got so foul and so false that I wanted my fans to hear from me directly."

Moakler fired back to PEOPLE, "(His) airing of our dirty laundry in the media is not conducive to the well-being of my children, and I want no part of it."

On Tuesday, Barker talked to PEOPLE about what went wrong in his marriage, a certain egg-throwing problem and the MTV curse.

PEOPLE: How are you doing? Are you angry or sad?
BARKER: I'm not in the angry phase at all because I'm still absolutely in love with Shan. It feels weird to not wake up to my children every day, to be honest. But I sneak over every morning to see the babies.

PEOPLE: Do they understand what's going on?
BARKER: Well, 'Bam is seven months old. She just pisses herself when she sees me because she's so excited because she was used to seeing me so much during the day. And my son just thinks I'm working like crazy right now.

PEOPLE: When did things start going downhill with you and Shanna?
BARKER: About a year ago. I don't know if it was me touring and me constantly getting accused of things. She was unfortunately in a relationship before where someone was unfaithful to her and she told me when we first met that it scared her. I understood that going into it, but I didn't know it would be to the extreme that it was. To the point where I couldn't have friends that were girls and I couldn't hang out with my guy friends. They would get egged if they came to my house.

PEOPLE: Wait, is that a metaphor?
BARKER: There were times where I'd be accused of whatever. She'd say I was a bad father, just saying she hated me or whatever. Then I would leave the house because I couldn't take it. My manager would pick me up and he would get served with a dozen eggs. This would happen on the daily. This would happen on the weekly.

(Through her rep, Moakler responds: "I did egg his manager's car on one occasion and at the time it was well deserved and well worth it.")

[leyla m.]

what a shame but unfortunately and sadly i saw it coming before the first show was even aired.
and i think both are naive and dumb, her more than him.
poor kids

 

[brokenenglish]

Their show was so annoying and it was clearly puppy love....
didn't see any hint of a real connection there.

This is all incredibly tacky... and their poor children.

They Really Hate Eachother

Soon to be the ex-wife of Travis Barker, Shanna is having a "Divorce Party" at Light in the Bellagio Hotel, Las Vegas this weekend, and it doesn't matter that it's tacky. She's getting paid!

Who would have known when we posted on Wednesday this flyer for Shanna Moakler's Vegas "Divorce Party" that we would be inciting a full-fledged war between the divorcing twosome.
As they are prone to do, they both took to their MySpace blogs to lash out at each other.
Read their very mature rants....after the jump!

He said:
SOMEBODY SENT A MESSAGE AND A FLYER WAS ATTATCHED (I POSTED IT BELOW). SHANNA IS HAVING A DIVORCE PARTY FOR HERSELF IN CELEBRATION OF OUR FAILED MARRIAGE APPARENTLY..... THIS IS THE SAME WIFE THAT EMAILED ME TO TELL ME SHE WOULD BE SLEEPING WITH HER NEW BOYFRIEND IN MY BED THE DAY OF OUR ANNIVERSARY 2 DAYS AGO SO THIS DOESN'T COME AS A SHOCK. AND THE SAME PERSON WHO IS MAKING "I LOVE SHANNA" SHIRTS FOR PEOPLE TO BUY, IN SUPPORT OF ALL THIS AND PLAYING THE VICTIM, IT SADDENS ME PEOPLE AND EVEN BRINGS ON THE URGE TO PUKE, HOPE IT DOES YOU AS WELL. IM GONNA SAY A LONG PRAYER FOR HER, SHE NEEDS IT. THERE ISN'T A PART OF SHANNA AND I AND THE FACT OUR MARRIAGE FAILED THAT I COULD BE CELEBRATING OR HAPPY ABOUT EVEN AFTER ALL OF THIS TIME IT WAS OUR FAMILY...IT WAS ALL WE HAD......I MEAN A PARTY??? WHAT DOESN'T KILL ME MAKES ME STRONGER GOODNIGHT AND MAY THE FORCE BE WITH U....STAR WARS IS ON AND THIS IS NOW IN THE PAST. HOPE SHANNA'S PARTY IS EVERYTHING SHE COULD HOPE 4.

She said:
"I am NOT the one running around the world with the town drug obsessed clown."

Oooh, nicely said about Miss Paris Hilton, if I do say so myself.

 

[silk skin paws]

They're still airing dirty messages over the internet. Both are very immature. I still can't believe Shanna and Travis are parents.
