OK, last post about the TRL finale, we swear. We tried to sit through the entire two and a half hour extravaganza, but we just couldn't. Our willpower is not yet that strong. We did, however, catch the interview with Travis Barker, one of the first glimpses of the musician since the September plane crash that killed four and injured Travis and DJ AM. He didn't seem to be 100 percent, obviously, but he looked to be healthy and upbeat, painful interviews aside.

TWO CRAZY KIDS MAKING IT WORK "Mandy Moore and Adam 'DJ A.M.' Goldstein dated for only two months in 2007, but it looks like that was long enough to form a bond. 'It's back on,' a DJ A.M. source says. … 'Since the accident, it's blossomed into something again. Mandy said, "I like this guy a lot and I want to see where it can go again. Life is too short to not be with someone you really care about."'"

• OK! magazine was not interested in Clay Aiken's coming out story, claiming it wasn't a big deal. Yeah, why feature a talked-about story when you can have a cover like the one above? Good move, OK! [INO]

• Jennifer Aniston takes a break from being America's Punching Bag to vacation in Mexico. Life is rough. [Yeeeah]

• Things too awkward for words: Samantha Ronson in a bikini. [HT]

• Kelly Osbourne struggled with a possible pregnancy at 13. When I was 13 I was struggling to remember not to throw my retainer away in the cafeteria's trash bins. To each her own. [ICYDK]

• Mark Wahlberg wasn't so creative with the baby names — that's a good thing. [DListed]

• DJ AM put his recovery on hold to attend a memorial service for one of the victims of the deadly plane crash. [PS]

DJ AM RELEASED "A week after surviving a plane crash that took the lives of four people, DJ AM has been released from Doctors Hospital in August, Georgia, his rep said Friday. 'While he is deeply saddened by the events he is thankful for all of the love and support he has been receiving from fans and friends world wide,' the rep said. 'We ask that you continue respect his privacy as he rests and heals and mourns the loss of his friends.'"

Travis Barker and DJ AM survived a Learjet crash late Friday night that killed the other four people on board the plane. The two men were admitted to burn units and listed in critical condition.

Travis and DJ AM had performed at a concert Friday with Gavin DeGraw and former Jane's Addiction singer Perry Farrell, but Gavin and Perry were not on the plane. Of the four who died, two were pilots, one was a security guard and one was Travis' 26-year-old assistant, who was recently married and had a baby.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the plane was taking off when air traffic controllers reported seeing sparks; the plane then went off the runway and crashed on a nearby road, where it burst into flames. Travis was burned from the waist down; DJ AM's face suffered severe burns. Both men are expected to survive.

Our thoughts are with the families of the deceased.

We're not surprised to see Kim Kardashian and her fresh-out-of-jail sister posing for the cameras at a 40th birthday party for McDonald's Big Mac burger, because if anyone would actually RSVP to a stupid event like this it's them. But Common, Serena Williams and DJ AM? Call us naive, but we expected more out of you. Hope you enjoyed your free burgers and shame.

The new issue of Jane offers a photo spread with a very simple premise: "We went to Sundance and asked a bunch of stars, "What's your crime?" Then we shot them."

Well get ready, because the stars' answers generally hit you so hard with a one-two combo of boring and puzzling that you might think you're watching Lost. The only two to get it right were Paul Rudd and Sam Rockwell.

Unfortunately, Jane staffers failed to include in the shoot noted Sundance regulars OJ Simpson, Brandy and Roman Polanski. Put your thinking caps on, you three; and be prepared with some wacky "crimes" next year!

For reasons beyond me, ABC News has done a pretty thorough retrospective of DJ AM's life and his relationship with Mandy Moore. While I question the necessity of the research, I am surprised by it's findings (Did you know that DJ AM was in that awful band Crazy Town? Neither did I!). The three page piece also makes a very passive-aggressive attack on AM's looks, even going as far as to ask a Carnegie Mellon Humanities professor why attractive women might date him:

"The point is that women are much less likely than men to regard physical appearance as their primary criterion when seeking a mate. They tend to be attracted to power, prestige, skill, and strength."

Because, clearly, power, prestige, skill and strength are the adjectives that come to mind when you're talking DJ AM.

That all aside, another interesting thing about this article is how poorly it's written. It's terrible. Terrible. Check this out:

"We know why Mandy Moore is famous. She's cute as a button, and talented to boot. The question is, how does an average Joe like Adam Goldstein, DJ AM's birth name, get all the girls?"

Yuck! What? And how 'bout this randomly tossed in:

"Here's how it all started. While Mandy Moore was ringing in the New Year in Miami, she was seen with Wilmer Valderrama. But rumor has it she ran into DJ, gave him her digits, and has since begun dating him.

What does the average Hollywood hipster think of this? Danielle Welch, pierced from ear to ear, tells ABC News: "I personally think nerdy is better. I would hate to be with some guy who thinks he is just the coolest. I definitely have to be the cool one in the relationship."

Where the hell did that "hipster" quote come from? This one's the best, though:

"Well, he's an ex-rocker, although his band, Crazy Town, was a one-hit wonder. I mean, has anyone actually heard the song "Butterfly"?"

Ummm…yeah, everyone's heard the song "Butterfly," because that was their one hit. Get it? That's why they're called one-hit wonders. Wow. Did I mention this article is called "DJ AM, Man of Mystery," 'cause it is.

Come on, ABC News. You're better than this.

Rumor has it that DJ AM is the reason Richie thinned down. Read this for the full story and then don't spend too much time contemplating it, because I guarantee you it's a damn lie.

Regardless, Nicole Richie's looking good. She's still looking pretty thin, but it's better than this. Also, I think I might be biased because the "girl in a fedora and shades" look is really doing it for me right now. I think it's 'cause they look like giggly spies with all the secrets. Espionage is cute. That's why James Bond is so popular.

Ugh, please tell me that Mandy Moore and DJ AM are just friends looking extra friendly out in LA this week. If there is something brewing between these two, it looks like AM got his wish of hooking up with a new starlet in order to re-up his DJ asking price. Ugh, he's sick. Come on, Mandy, Wilmer's pants are wide open.

Party photog and young girl devotee extraordinaire, The Cobrasnake (seen here on the left) was out last night to catch the Lohan in her native habitat. And what a star-studded evening it was (Samiere Armstrong of brief OC fame! DJ AM plus some post-richie lbs.! Uhhh, Eve (Ed: Oops)?) for Miss Thang. It's good to see that last week's wild hospital ride didn't keep our young doe down for too long!

Sure, The Sun caught Nicole Richie eating at Johnny Rockets (of all the burger places in the world…), but how do we know that hidden inside food isn't Nicole's preferred method of ingesting the marijuana? Ever think about that? See, we have to worry about her all the time, people, not only when she's driving the wrong way down the freeway. Even when she's eating there's something we should be fretting over with this one. As I always say, it takes a village to raise a starlet.

Meanwhile, Page Six is reporting that Nicole's ex-fiance DJ AM wants Nicole back. Or, he just wants to be able to tell people they're back together. It's not because he likes her so much as he can raise his DJ rates when his name is attached to a more public trainwreck. Oh, young love. So sweet.

Is there any way that Nicole Richie is really as tiny as this picture makes her out to be? I never got the impression that DJ AM was a particularly large man (and by large, I mean tall, because we all know he had a gastric bypass to remedy the weight factor), but this photo of the two of them (back together? Does anyone care?) makes it look like she is literally a third of his size. Screw the body fat, is she decreasing in height? Is she shrinking into oblivion? Is this a new cosmetic surgery trend for the severly self-loathing who literally want to disappear? I have many questions. It's all quite troubling, really.

Lindsay Lohan may be keeping her mouth shut when it comes to her fight with Brandon Davis and Paris Hilton, but that doesn't mean she is keeping her actions neutral. After rumors circulated about her heavy petting with Stavros Niarchos at a club the other night, she doesn't seem to be stopping at one Greek Shipping Ex. According to the National Ledger:

But Ted Casablanca says the revenge will come in Cannes as [Lindsay Lohan] is set to meet Paris Latsis at the film festival.

Ted gives this:

According to chums superclose to another Greek, monied clan, L2 and boy Paris–i.e., Latsis–had a little sleepover at his Bev Hills pad Saturday night. Also whisper-worthy is that the Latsis clan is apparently headed to Cannes for five-star frolicking on the family yacht.

"[Lindsay Lohan and Paris Latsis] are planning to hook up in the south of France later this week," dished my connected source.

Sick. Paris Lastis is only slightly better looking than Brandon Elvis-tits Davis himself, and, wait a minute, if Lohan/Lastis was really happening before the Brandon Davis incident, there is no excuse.

Let's just hope she manages to keep her paws off DJ AM, because the last thing Lindsay needs is a Paris and Nicole reunion alliance against her ex-boyfriend humping ways. AM does have a sneaky look on his face at this boutigue openening in New York last night.

Can't any of these young ladies find a new man to screw? Keeping it in within the same ten guys is getting pretty disguisting.
