DJ AM, Adam Goldstein, funeral was held at the Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary in West Los Angeles, California for a private service honoring the celebrity spinner. A large crowed of friends and family came out on September 2, 2009 to pay their respects to Adam among them were his mother Andrea Gross, his girlfriend (pictured below), his best friend Travis Barker and other celebs. Not pictured were Nicole Richie and Joel and Benji Madden and many more.

For the first time since DJ AM’s death, Travis Barker — who survived a tragic plane crash with the celebrity DJ nearly a year ago — opens up about the loss of his friend.

“Don’t know how I am gonna play 2night but I am for AM,” the Blink-182 drummer, 33, posted on Twitter Saturday night before the band’s concert in Hartford, Connecticut. “My brother is gone. I love u and miss u, I’ll never forget all the good times we had.”

He continued: “I’ll never forget everything we’ve been through and every time I play the drums, I’ll think of you. U were an amazing friend/DJ/human being.”

Both Barker — who suffered second- and third-degree burns after a Learjet caught fire during an aborted takeoff in South Carolina, leaving four others dead, on Sept. 19 — and DJ AM (whose real name is Adam Goldstein) had said they were just thankful “to be alive” after the crash.

“Rest in peace, my brother,” he Tweeted. “This really f***s me up.”

On Friday, Barker’s estranged wife, Shanna Moakler, told Us exclusively that she couldn’t imagine how Barker was handling the news.

“My deepest condolences are to DJ AM — he was a great artist and will be severely missed,” she said. “My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. My support and love goes out to Travis as I know how hard this is for him and how close they were.”

It looked like on-again, off-again couple Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker would have a good summer, peacefully sharing their two children — son Landon, 5, and daughter Alabama, 3. But today, when Travis was supposed to return the kids to their ex-beauty-queen mom at her family home in Rhode Island, that all fell apart when Travis met her with the kids, an insider tells Life & Style. “He started screaming and wouldn’t leave the kids with her.” Earlier this month Travis and Shanna approved changes to their custody agreement that let Travis take the kids on the road while he was on tour with his band, Blink 182.

The fight escalated to the point that police were called to Shanna’s home. “Officers were dispatched to that address about an hour ago,” Barrington, R.I., Police Sgt. Tim Harrington told Life & Style around 5:45 p.m. when asked whether officers had responded to the Moakler address in the town south of Providence. Harrington would not discuss the nature or outcome of the call, but an insider tells Life & Style that cops had to make Travis go.

“Travis wouldn’t leave because he wanted Shanna to let his nanny stay with her and the kids, but she refused,” the insider says. “When Travis refused to go, Shanna called the police. They gave Travis a choice: Leave or get arrested. So he left. But he wasn’t happy. He’s already twittered about Shanna.”

Travis’ tweet leaves no doubt about his feelings toward his ex-wife: “My babies [sic] mama is a pile of sh*t.”

Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler have split again, their reps confirm to Usmagazine.com.

The couple — who divorced in 2004 but reconciled last September after Barker’s near-fatal plane crash — called it quits “after a nasty fight broke out at his house last night and cops were called…[when] Shanna started freaking out and acting irrational,” a source tells Us.

No charges were filed.

“Travis confronted Shanna about her having an affair with Gerard Butler while he was in the hospital recovering,” the source says. Butler and Moakler were spotted getting cozy at the Hollywood opening of Shin Korean BBQ last October.

Barker “just wants to focus on his music and his children right now. He is done with her drama,” the source says.

In February, Barker told Us he “couldn’t be happier” after reuniting with Moakler, who was spotted wearing her wedding band at a Grammys party.

Barker’s rep tells Us: “After surviving the plane crash his driving force in life is the love he has for his kids. He is tired of all other drama and is ready to move on.” (more…)

Travis Barker has filed a lawsuit blaming the pilots and defective equipment for a plane crash that severely injured the rocker and DJ AM and killed four others.

The L.A. Superior Court lawsuit, also filed Friday by the mother of Barker’s bodyguard, Charles “Che” Still, who died in the crash, alleges the pilots “negligently decided to abort” the takeoff when the Learjet’s tires failed in September at an airport in Columbia, S.C.

“The pilots were either poorly trained and/or failed to follow their training,” the suit says. “The pilots’ decision was a breach of their duty owed to the passengers onboard and was a substantial factor in causing the crash and resultant injuries and deaths.”

Pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, and co-pilot James Bland, 52, were killed in the crash, as were Barker’s assistant Chris Baker, 29, and Still, 25.

The lawsuit also alleges that one or more of the tires failed, “leaving tire debris and portions of airplane components along the 8,600-foot runaway” and that the plane’s landing gear, tires, wheels, brakes, reverse thrust system, and squat switches “were not airworthy.”

Barker, who is recovering from severe burns, is claiming the crash caused him pain and suffering, mental anguish, psychological and emotional distress, disfigurement, loss of earnings capacity and medical expenses.

Federal aviation officials are focusing on bare tires and debris on the runway as the causes of the crash. The National Transportation Safety Board says the wheels had very little rubber remaining and its brakes were severely damaged.

The lawsuit names as defendants Clay Lacy Aviation, Global Executive Aviation, Inter Travel and Services, Goodyear Tire and Rubber and Bombardier Inc.
