Barker to Moakler: A Penne For Your Thoughts

Travis Barker just can't break that Shanna Moakler spell. One of our staffers spotted them last night eating dinner together at an Italian restaurant in the San Fernando Valley, just days after he returned to L.A. Travis even took a picture with our dude.

Travis, who was limping badly, told us he's just happy to be alive after the plane crash. Shanna says she's been very emotional and "crying a lot."

You'll recall, last week Travis blogged that he hadn't seen Shanna since the week he checked into the hospital (September 20). For her part, last week Shanna not-so-cryptically said "With great tragedy comes great truths. These truths either bring people together or tear them apart."
