Travis Barker's ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, is rushing to the Blink-182 drummer's side at an Atlanta hospital following a Learjet crash involving both he and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein. Travis and DJ AM were both critically injured following the crash in South Carolina on September 19. Insiders tell In Touch that Shanna immediately insisted on being with him and hopes to transport him from Atlanta back to Los Angeles. “He’s burned from the waist down and has broken bones,” an insider says. (Shanna and Travis have two young children together, son Landon, 4, and daughter Alabama, 2.)

DJ AM's girlfriend, Katie Davis, is also on her way to Atlanta. “Everyone is devastated, very concerned and is trying to find out what happened,” says an insider. “Adam is in stable condition with burns on his neck and face and is on a ventilator.”

The crash has left four other victims dead and Travis, 32, and DJ AM, 35, with severe burns. According to the Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman, Kathleen Bergen, the plane that was carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reported seeing sparks. It appears the plane was attempting to take off when it ran off the runway through a fence and hit an embankment, where the plane caught fire. Federal officials say two crew members and two passengers were killed. A coroner has identified the four victims: pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, Calif.; co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, Calif.; Travis's assistant, Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, Calif.; and security guard Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles.

Travis and DJ AM (who was once engaged to Nicole Richie) were recently seen performing together at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 7.

Demi Moore: Rock Bottom
It could have been a happy night for Demi Moore — a chance to put the most painful and humiliating period of her life behind her, even if just for a few hours. But while Demi had been nominated for a Directors Guild award for co-directing the Lifetime special Five, she spent the January 28 ceremony in hiding as she coped with the fallout from a drug incident that landed her in the hospital five days earlier. “She’s literally hiding in shame over how far she has fallen,” a pal shares.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie On The Rocks?
Could Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. be the next in a long list of celebrity couples heading for divorce? Although their rep denies the story, the duo, who have managed to remain largely out of the spotlight throughout their relationship, raised eyebrows recently when Sarah, 34, walked the Golden Globes red carpet solo — and without her enormous diamond engagement ring.

Tabatha Coffey’s Tough Love
“Look, I know it’s like boot camp when I come in,” says Tabatha Takes Over star Tabatha Coffey with a twinkle in her eye and a smile so broad that fans of her hit show might not even recognize her. The Bravo star admits with a giggle that channeling her inner drill sergeant is often the only way to get the job done.

Seal’s Ex: Don’t Take Him Back
The song that Seal chose for his performance on a recent episode of Ellen — Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” — seemed specifically designed to make his estranged wife, Heidi Klum, reconsider her decision to end their marriage. While Seal may have good reason to endear himself to Heidi — who has legions of fans and pulled in a whopping $20 million last year — former supermodel Tatjana Patitz, 45, maintains that the singer is a selfish, immature man who is prone to frightening rages. “He is not a nice person,” Tatjana, who dated Seal for nearly a year, tells In Touch.
