Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Nicole Ritchie ex, DJ AM are in critical condition in the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, GA after the plane they were on crashed shortly after takeoff early this morning.
Barker and AM performed on Friday night along with Gavin DeGraw and Perry Ferrell and then hopped on the six-person plane leaving from Columbia, South Carolina shortly before midnight. (It is being reported that neither Gavin DeGraw or Perry Ferrell were on this flight.)
Barker was burned from the waist down and is expected to survive while AM received severe burns to the face and is currently being treated for his injuries.
The two men were lucky to survive the fiery plane crash and had to jump out of the plane door to safety.
Sadly, four people on the flight died including Barker’s assistant, Chris Baker. The 29-year-old had been featured on the reality show Meet the Barkers and leaves behind his new wife and baby.
The other three people were the pilot Sarah Lemmon, co-pilot James Bland and Charles Still.
“The plane crashed on takeoff and went through a fence near Highway 302, then crossed the road and went up an embankment before being filled with flames,” Lynne Douglas, spokesperson for the Columbia Metropolitan Airport, tells People Magazine. “There was debris all over the runway…..”

YOu know what, for me, she's the best young singer in this generation.. so! chill out buddy...
Charice Pempengco joined Little Big Star in 2005, when she was only 12 years old. She was eliminated right away but was later picked in a wild card round to re-enter the competition. She worked her way up to become a finalist. Although she was the consistent top scorer in the final rounds, she only finished in third place.She is known as the “Young Diva” but also goes by “Cha”.
She’s been heating up YouTube ever since. She’s set to release a few songs digitally one of these days.
Charice has been featured on the E! network, once on the Daily 10 with a headline reading “A Star Is Born”. The other time they named her Hollywood Royalty.
There’s nothing but more big things to come from this tiny girl with a huge voice.
She became a youtube sensation...
Charice first attracted attention in the cyberworld when FalseVoice channel of YouTube posted her Little Big Star performance of Whitney Houston's hit, "I Will Always Love You." Many viewers thought her singing was fake, and that she was only lip synching because of her unbelievable vocals. Another popular video was a face-off between Charice Pempengco and America's Got Talent winner, Bianca Ryan. These videos brought Pempengco to the attention of Ten Songs Productions, a production company based in Sweden. She then traveled to Stockholm in June 2007 and recorded seven songs.
A few months later, FalseVoice released a video of Charice Pempengco singing the Dreamgirls anthem, "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." This earned her an invitation from one of the biggest television networks in South Korea, Seoul Broadcasting System, in October 2007 to perform on a talent show called Star King. The Korean audience was wowed by her jaw-dropping rendition of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going."
Many viewers re-posted her Star King performance on YouTube, and Charice Pempengco found her way into American television. TV network E!'s The Daily Ten featured her Star King performance with the headline, "A Star Is Born" on November 14, 2007 and then crowned her as the "Queen of the Week" on the Hollywood Royalty segment, this time with the headline, "A Queen Is Born" on November 16. Charice's StarKing performance was also shown in LCI est @ Vous, a TV news program in France on January 24, 2008.
Charice Pempengco's performance on Star King was featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on its November 28, 2007 episode, in which Ellen showed web videos of different people she would like to have as guests on the show. After showing the video, DeGeneres did a standing ovation and imitated Pempengco's gestures. She later personally invited the young singer to perform on the show.
On December 19, 2007, Charice sang her already popular "And I Am Telling You, I'm Not Going" and "I Will Always Love You" on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, leaving the audience, Ellen and all of America in awe. Charice received prolonged standing obviations on both of her songs and she was overwhelmed by the enthusiastic reception she received form the audience. After an online poll on the Ellen DeGeneres Show's website, Charice won as the Most Memorable Moment of 2007 and is about to guest on the show again soon.
In December 2007, she went back to South Korea as she was chosen as the Most Requested Foreign Act of 2007 on the show after a nationwide voting system. She did receive standing ovations after she sung I Will Survive and a duet of I Will Always Love You with Lena Park. She also performed an a cappella version of Beyonce's Listen after she was requested by the host to sing a ballad song.
As soon as she got back to the Philippines after her Ellen and Star King guestings, she became an instant celebrity and did several guestings on different TV shows on ABS-CBN Network, becoming one of the most sought-after young singers in the country.
On April 8, 2008, Charice invaded the United Kingdom after she guested on London's Paul O'Grady Show. Again, she was requested to sing "And I Am Telling You, I'm Not Going" and "I Will Always Love You" and eventually, she got the same response by receiving standing ovations for her two performances.
Charice appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Monday - May 12, 2008. The episode was entitled "World's Smartest Kids" and featured 10 gifted children in their specific field. Charice was the only guest who sang. Charice sang Whitney Houston's - "I Have Nothing".
She dazzled the audience, and Oprah as well with her jaw dropping powerful voice! After the performance Charice was honored with yet another prolonged standing ovation from the audience, as Oprah looked in almost disbelief of Charice's incredible performance. Oprah embraced Charice with hugs and showered her with compliments, at the same time Charice was a bit overwhelmed and got a little teary eyed.
