Tough Break for Travis Barker

Barker breaks his armIt's been a tough week for Travis Barker. First his soon-to-be ex-wife and his current, er, "friend" Paris Hilton got into a little tussle at a club. Now he's broken his arm. Damn!

According to his publicist, Travis Barker broke his arm while shooting a video for his band +44's song "When Your Heart Stops Beating." A source close to Barker tells TMZ that he actually broke his arm drumming. Wow.

Doctors have ordered the former blink-182er to lay off the heavy lifting -- and drumming -- for at least 8 weeks.

UPDATE: Travis Barker has posted the following message on his MySpace account: "I had every test possible to see what was going on in my arm. The MRI/X-Ray showed I'd been playing with a broken arm for 3 weeks and or possible tumor in my arm ... I've been told to eat meat and change my diet (I've been a vegetarian for 16 years) cause it's making my bones weak. I never thought I'd break a bone from playing my drums too hard/too long."

37. looks don't matter. you'd have to hang with travis, or paris for that matter, and get beyond that and into the chemistry, something we're most likely not going to do. the two have in common that they have succeeded in worlds that are small parts of life. they can both do something really well and be clueless about most everything. it's common ground./threading4@aol.com

43. Travis has alot of tattoos, so many that I think people might miss judge him. Look at the quality of the person on the inside!! He is a great father and he has a big heart!! He is very attentive and sweet!! How many men actually have these qualities? Don't judge people just because YOU might not want to have that many tattoos or because you might be jealous of what he has achieved in life!!!
