Celebrity Gossip: Recovery, Autism, and More Babies

In some really good celebrity news, Travis Barker has finally been released from the hospital. Barker was badly burned in a plane accident almost a month ago and has been in the hospital getting treatment ever since. The plane crash killed four people and injured Baker's friend, DJ AM. The musician will continue recovering at home where he can be closer to his kids and family.

Another fight has erupted in Hollywood. This time it is between two unlikely people. Jenny McCarthy has called comedian Denis Leary "stupid" for the jokes that he makes about autism in his new book Why We Suck: A Feel-Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid. Not only is Jenny McCarthy lashing out against Leary, but the autism community has joined her. This includes actress Holly Robinson Peete, who, like McCarthy, has a son who has been diagnosed with autism. I definitely think that McCarthy and Peete win on this one, as autism is a serious matter and should not be used in jokes, even if Leary was misunderstood in the book.

Looks like another celebrity baby is on the way. Country singer Brad Paisley and actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley are expecting their second child next April. The baby will join their son, Huck, who was born in February 2007. Kimberly is currently filming her last season on the television show According To Jim, and Brad is set to host the Country Music Association awards in November. After Kimberley's show is over, she will head back to Nashville, where the family lives. This is one celebrity couple that I am really happy for as they seem down-to-earth and not conceited like some celebrity couples. Of course, it could be because they don't run in most celebrity circles and they don't live in Hollywood.
