Barker Backtracks on Custody -- Still a "Work in Progress"

Posted Jul 13th 2007 12:07PM by TMZ Staff

It didn't didn't take very long for Travis Barker to change his tune on child custody.

TMZ caught daddy Travis late last night after his show at Sugar -- with guests like Vanilla Ice (membah him?) and Jamie Kennedy. Trav told our camera guy that custody of his two kids with Shanna Moakler was "a work in progress." Translation: lawyers.

The night before, Travis said flat out, he was going to get custody of his kids. Then his lawyers called TMZ and basically said Travis may have mispoken -- that he meant he was just going to pick up the children. Really?

Yesterday, TMZ cameras shot video of Barker's ex performing some parental duties of her own; taking their mohawked son, Landon Asher, on a Kitson Kids shopping spree, where the 4-year-old mini-Travis looked pretty comfortable playing with some toys and sucking on a red blowpop. The duo later hit up the posh (and photog-friendly) eatery, The Ivy. Nothin' like a paparazzi-filled day with mom!

1. I had a feeling an update would come LOL hopefully for their kids sake, they share custody, b/c I don't know which situation is worse - and it's better for the kids that way, they should have both parents in theirs lives if at all possible...

and TMZ, I know you're excited to put news out there, but please spell check and re-read your articles, you're driving me nuts! lol

7. to all of those who keep saying travis is a money hungry silver spooned robot: have you noticed the dude is missing half of his teeth? he grew up in fontana (which isn't the nicest area of CA , to say the least), and his mom died of cancer when he was a kid. his band made it big and he made some money, who cares? go worry about something that actually matters.

8. He made a little verbal slip, big deal. get over it, at least he's not bringing his kids to be purposely photographed by the papparazzi like the attention whore shanna.

Shanna: standing around trying to look pretty, and i need all the cute accessories i can get
Landon: like me?
Shanna: exactly, lets go spend more of your dads money.

12. She needs to get back to small town america where she came from with her rich parents and sheltered life. no one cares about her anymore. the only reason she gets any press is because of travis. they dont lead the story with a picture of her, but of him. because he actually makes news.

15. I hope that Travis gets full custody. He might go on tours every now and then to make a living, but Shanna goes on a tour of the couch every day of her miserable life.
