As we reported earlier today, the rumor that Travis Barker had been murdered were completely false. His on again/off again wife Shanna Moakler posted a bulletin on her MySpace, saying:

“I’m not quite sure who would start such a sick rumor, even if it was done as a joke. I am happily laying next to my husband who is alie and well and it brings me great pleasure to stop a rumor as horrific as that. It is indeed FALSE.”

We wouldn’t say it was a horrific rumor. Childish internet hoax, yes. Horrific? No.  These two should be thanking the bored kid that started the rumor for (sort of) keeping them relevant.
