Travis Barker Files Lawsuit Over Plane Crash

Travis Barker is looking for justice.
In his first postcrash TV news interview, the musician tells E! News exclusively why he decided to file a lawsuit over the plane crash that killed four people and left Barker and DJ AM badly burned.
"I wouldn't have been in the state I was in if I wasn't in the crash," said Barker, who spoke Sunday while at the Miss California USA event with Shanna Moakler. "I wouldn't have third-degree burns all over my body or be prohibited to do certain things. I can't go swimming. I can't do some of the things that normal people can do. I didn't ask for that to happen."
DJ AM, who is also continuing his recovery from the Sept. 19 incident, is not part of the lawsuit. Said Barker: "I can't speak for him—I think everyone just has different attorneys." The two are currently rehearsing for a New Year's Eve gig at the Paramount lot in Hollywood.
The drummer says he doesn't know if he'll win his lawsuit.
"I don't know. I just think positive. I mean, I think so—if something goes wrong that's not supposed to go wrong or you fall victim of it, I think you should be compensated."
He says he's not just speaking for himself, either. "I lost two friends in the accident. Nothing can bring them back or what I lost in the accident."

Survivor is Down to Seven

And the third member of the Survivor: Gabon jury is Randy, whose sound strategy was squashed by a bit of resin and a few beads. "Being voted out by these bozos is probably one of the best accolades anyone could get," the cantankerous castoff said afterward. "To hell with these freakin' people. I hope Corinne does well if she's not in on today's plot...Most of the others, with the exception of Matty, I hope they get hit by a green mamba [snake]."

Andrew and Dan Finish Last on the Amazing Race

Ultimately, Toni and Dallas landed in first, and won a romantic trip for two to the Dominican Republic. Ken and Tina, who are getting along better, came in second. Nick and Starr came in third, but when the frat guys arrived, the sun was starting to go down.

But though the frat guys came in last, it was a non-elimination round, which is good, because they're not so win and succeed based; they're more lose-but-stay-in-on-a-technicality based. But as Andrew said, "People like seeing the underdogs win."

DANCING WITH THE STARS TOP 3 POWER RANKINGS

BROOKE BURKE and Derek Hough"Brooke has been consistanly better than all the others all season… and she has one bad dance and everyone is throwing her under the bus."

WARREN SAPP and Kym JohnsonWarren's casino-themed jitterbug was technically a little iffy, but, as usual, the judges loved him. The self-described "Fat Boy" has his work cut out for him; charm alone won't make him a winner; he only earned 13 percent of the vote in our rankings.

LANCE BASS and Lacey SchwimmerLance delivered two solid dances this week – one while wearing only one shoe. Despite sitting atop the leaderboard for the first time ever and with Cody out of the running, he still only earns 37 percent of the vote, which is only good enough for second place

Twilight Kills This Weekend

A femaie-dominated audience drove Twilight's opening weekend to among the biggest in Hollywood history: a $70.6 million Friday-Sunday gross, per studio estimate.
"This is a game-changer. This is an industry-changing performance," Exhibitor Relations analyst Jeff Bock said today. "…With the success of Sex and the City, and Mamma Mia!, we've awoken a sleeping giant at the box office."
Exit polling showed 75 percent of Twilight's audience was female. Box-office stats show the movie is the biggest opener for a movie directed by a woman (Catherine Hardwicke).

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY : SEASON 4

On fourth season of Bravo's The Real Housewives of Orange County, Tamra Barney, Vicki Gunvalson, Jeana Keough and Lauri Peterson are back, and welcoming a new housewife to the block, 30-year-old blond bombshell Gretchen Rossi, who poses an immediate threat with her youth and golden good looks. The ladies continue to strive to live the good life, but in reality, the perfect lives of contemporary women juggling family, friends and careers isn't always as fabulous it seems. The fourth season of the hit docu-series premieres Tuesday, November 25 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. This season the ladies are tackling greater challenges while coming to terms with past secrets and lingering issues. Vicki is building her insurance empire, sometimes to the detriment of her marriage to Donn. Tamra copes with her relationships with her estranged father and her taxing 21-year-old son, Ryan, while also keeping busy as a stay-at-homemom with three young kids. Jeana tries to figure out her next move following an emotional separation from her husband, Matt. Lauri continues to enjoy life as a blissful newlywed, but issues with her son, Josh, may tarnish her fairytale. There is competition in store for this complicated circle of friends. Gretchen is the newest housewife on the block, and a jaw-dropping Orange County bombshell. Gretchen's fiancé, Jeff, is an older man who spoils her rotten with diamonds and gifts. They enjoyed a whirlwind romance and engagement that came to an unexpected and heartbreaking turn when Jeff was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia. An outgoing party girl, it's easy to peg Gretchen as a gold digger (and the other ladies have their doubts about her), but she cares for Jeff and stands by him through very serious hardships that test her character. As usual, the men and kids are caught in the whirlwind and do their best to try and understand their complicated wives, mothers and daughters, but insight into these women proves once again to be anything but simple. This fourth season will explore the women on a deeper level, bringing their stories full circle to uncover the secrets that often lie behind closed doors. The gates, Botox injections and mansions can't keep reality from intruding for too long. What will finally unfold when the gates are opened?
