Everyone is trying to figure out what really caused Ashlee Simpson to leave her husband of three years Pete Wentz.

For some reason most people, myself included, actually liked this celebrity couple so the seemingly sudden split is just confusing to us all.

Divorce is always hardest on the kids. And the  celebrity gossip junkies.

Read about what Star magazine thinks is the real reason that Ashlee bailed on the marriage.

MediaTakeOut.com says that have confirmation that Rihanna is over the R&B boys and athletes and is now moving on over to the rockers.

Rihanna and Travis Barker (Blink 182) have been friends for a while and now that Trav is finally free of that ex-beauty queen ex-wife of his and RiRi is free of Matt Kemp MTO says they are officially dating.

The new relationship between the two will be more than just PERSONAL. The two are doing a photo shoot together. And Rih will be in his new video, Can A Drummer Get Some, which films in LA next week.

Travis Barker revealed his new DJ AM In Memoriam tattoo today on his Twitter page. Travis and Adam Goldstein were the only survivors of a terrifying plane crash in September 2008.

Travis was burned badly and Adam walked around in major pain a neck brace for months. He survived that horrible ordeal only to suffer a relapse and die of an overdose last August. He was 36.

The tattoo features an angel praying beneath the words “In Memory of DJ AM.”

Bet cha’ didn’t know that tattoo-boy Travis Barker was a strict vegetarian did ya? Maybe you did, but did you know that after 25 years of being veggie, he’s been forced to turn to red meat to help  his body heal faster?

Doctors told Trav that he could speed his body’s recovery process if his protein came from animal sources. Sounds a bit fishy to me, but I suppose when you are covered in burns you’d eat cement at every meal if you thought it would get you better faster.

He said: ‘I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet. I would do anything I possibly could if they said like, ‘There’s a possibility you might heal faster if you do eat meat or just change your eating habits.’ So I did. I don’t regret it at all, I feel so much better.’

His first priority being to get well enough to get out of the treatment center and hold his kids, he’s doing what the doctor ordered. Let’s just hope PETA keeps their vegan noses out of his decision.

He added to Us Weekly magazine: ‘I’m so anxious to get out of here. I’ve just been in surgery after surgery. I have third degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands was second degree burns and one was third degree burns. I’m trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again.

Travis Barker is getting the hell out of Georgia and heading back to L.A. After nine days in a burn unit of a hospital in Augusta, GA doctors say he left in good condition and good spirits.

Of course we are all glad to hear that he and DJ AM are going to be ok. But what I really help but wonder is if this near death experience will drive Travis back into the crazy stripper looking arms of Shanna Moakler?
