Travis Barker's daughter Alabama, 19, welcomes adorable new member of her family amid Bhad Bhabie feud
Travis Barker 's daughter Alabama Barker has welcomed a new member to her family. The daughter of beauty queen Shanna Moakler, 50, has adopted an adorable French Bulldog. She showcased the new puppy in two sweet photos posted to her Instagram Stories. In one photo she snuggled the sweet dog to her neck and captioned it, 'Good morning!! My baby.' In the other photo, the puppy laid on its back exposing its little belly to the camera. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She didn't mention in her post if she had settled on a name for the cute dog yet. She captioned a since-deleted video, '@pawznclawzfrenchies @stone_highland_frenchies THANK YOU SO MUCH! I love my baby.' It's fitting that Alabama would choose to adopt a Frenchie over other breeds, as her dad Travis has already owned at least five of the snubbed-nosed dogs. In addition to Alabama, Travis also shares sons Landon, 21, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 26, with Shanna, as well as son Rocky Barker, 18 months, with wife Kourtney Kardashian. In 2022, Alabama shared her devastation when her family's beloved dog Blue passed away. 'You will never understand how much you helped me on my darkest days,' she wrote on her Instagram Story at the time. 'You slept next to me, the way I would throw your ball and you would run with excitement, or the eyes you had that just touched everybody, I'll never forget you my baby.' She added that Blue will 'have the most amazing time up in doggy heaven,' and added, 'Until we meet again my love.' In March, the teenager debuted her new boyfriend, UCLA football player Scooter Jackson. The athlete used to be at Utah Tech but only recently transferred to Los Angeles. I This comes after the blonde pinup shared she had received six dozen off-white roses for Valentine's Day from a suitor. This follows a strange time for Alabama after some drama with another star. In February, Bhad Bhabie released a track called Ms. Whitman that dragged Alabama, the Kardashians and her dad Travis into the feud. The title of the song Ms. Whitman refers to the 1993 film True Romance and the character Alabama Whitman, whom Alabama was actually named after. The intro of the song features a sample of Kim Kardashian's ex-husband Kanye West's song Carnival. And she takes it another step further by bringing up the long-standing rumor that her stepmom Kourtney began dating Travis after he was rejected by Kim. Bhabie, born Danielle Bregoli, also rapped about Alabama being 'kicked out of the Kardashian house' for having a 'stanky p****.' The feud ignited in December after Bhabie accused Alabama of being a homewrecker and stealing her now-ex Le Vaughn, which she has since denied. After the music video and song dropped, Alabama took to her stories to react, sharing a selfie with a cryptic message implying she was releasing a retaliation rap track. In a since-deleted post from December, Bhabie wrote: '@alabamaluellabarker took my man.' She also posted emojis of a melting face as well as a boxing glove. In a follow-up post, she added: 'I told him next time I catch you. You gon be with them!' Then, she declared that she was 'single' in a one-worded post. Barker later addressed the claims on her own Instagram account and said that she had 'no interest' in Vaughn. She also said that it was Le Vaughn who has been contacting her and 'confessing his feelings' for her for nearly a year. In a lengthy post, she wrote: 'I want to be clear: I have no interest in this man, nor would I ever lower myself to be with someone who has been physically abusive towards women.' She said that after learning that he was in a relationship with Bregoli, she 'apologized multiple times' to the rapper - who welcomed daughter Kali Love with Le Vaughn last year.

Witnesses recount moment hate-filled suspect launched Molotov cocktails at pro-Israel rally in Boulder, Colorado
Witnesses have recounted the horrific moment a hate-filled man unleashed a terror at Boulder's iconic Pearl Street Mall on Sunday, shattering the calm of the usually peaceful college mountain town with Molotov cocktails. It was just after 1pm when dozens had gathered under clear Colorado skies, walking silently, holding signs and Israeli flags, in a somber march to remember the hostages still held captive in Gaza. The group, organized by Run For Their Lives, had made such silent walks a weekly ritual since October 7 in a determined show of solidarity. But what had been a peaceful demonstration suddenly turned into a scene of devastation in an instant. 'So we stood up, lined up in front of the old Boulder courthouse, and I was actually on the far west side. And there was somebody there that I didn't even notice, although he was making a lot of noise, but I'm just focused on my job of being quiet and getting lined up,' Ed Victor, a participant in the walk, told CBS Colorado. 'And, from my point of view, all of a sudden, I felt the heat. It was a Molotov cocktail equivalent, a gas bomb in a glass jar, thrown. Av [another marcher] saw it, a big flame as high as a tree, and all I saw was someone on fire,' Victor added. Brooke Coffman also saw the commotion by the courthouse and thought someone was 'getting beat up.' 'I saw this big fire go up,' Coffman told 9News. She explained how she saw two women 'rolling around a little bit' in their underwear after having their burning clothes stripped off with 'really bad burns all up on their legs.' Coffman also said another woman was screaming with burns on her legs, while another's face could barely be made out. Another woman's hair was also burned off. Nearby, Rachel Navarro had just entered the mall when chaos erupted. 'I saw a woman on the ground in severe condition, and two others whose calves were badly burned. The man was still there, spraying the fire with what looked like alcohol, trying to keep it going,' Navarro said to Fox 31. Another local said the town of Boulder had 'changed' recently. 'Boulder has changed. Pearl Street has changed. It's dirtier than it used to be. It's not as safe as it used to be,' the man said to CBS News. Witnesses say the shirtless suspect, carrying bottles that appeared to be filled with alcohol, hurled the makeshift explosives at the crowd. Flames ignited instantly, consuming the pavement and injuring multiple people. Terrified bystanders rushed to help, dousing the fires and assisting the wounded as thick smoke filled the air. Shocking video captured the aftermath which saw victims lying motionless on the ground near Israeli flags, their clothing scorched, as first responders worked to stabilize them. Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn confirmed that injuries ranged from minor to potentially life-threatening. He added that the suspect was taken into custody without further incident and transported to a hospital with minor injuries. Authorities are withholding his identity as the investigation unfolds. FBI Director Kash Patel quickly labeled the event a 'targeted terror attack' and announced that federal agents were on the scene alongside Boulder police. 'We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado,' Patel said in a statement on X. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino echoed the urgency, calling it an act of terrorism: 'All of the necessary assets will be dedicated to this investigation. If you aided or abetted this attack, we will find you. You cannot hide.' Colorado Governor Jared Polis, himself a member of the Jewish faith, issued a forceful condemnation on social media. 'I am closely monitoring the situation in Boulder, and my thoughts go out to the people who have been injured and impacted by this heinous act of terror,' he posted on X. Later, in a personal statement on Facebook, he wrote: 'This vicious act of terrorism, on the eve of Shavuot no less, against peaceful marchers drawing attention to hostages held by Hamas, is unfathomable.' The Jewish community of Boulder also responded swiftly in a statement. A victim can be seen being doused with water, left, as the suspect continues to rage, center 'We are saddened and heartbroken to learn that an incendiary device was thrown at walkers at the Run for Their Lives walk on Pearl Street as they were raising awareness for the hostages still held in Gaza. Our hearts go out to those who witnessed this horrible attack, and prayers for a speedy recovery to those who were injured.' Run For Their Lives, the group organizing the walk also emphasized the peaceful nature of the event. 'This is not a protest; it is a peaceful walk to show solidarity with the hostages and their families, and a plea for their release.' They group gathered at 1pm at Pearl and 8th Streets, intending to walk the length of Pearl Street Mall and back, with a stop at the old courthouse to sing songs, tell stories, and read the names of those hostages still in captivity in Gaza.

Several injured in attack as man sets people on fire in Colorado in US
Update: Date: 01:28 BST Title: Homeland security chief: 'Violence must stop' Content: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has said her department is working with "interagency partners, including the FBI", and would share more information when it becomes available. "We are praying for the victims and their families. This violence must stop." Update: Date: 01:22 BST Title: Israel's foreign minister says attack is 'pure antisemitism' Content: Israel's foreign minister, Gideon Sa'ar, has just released a statement saying he is "shocked" by the incident and calls the attack "pure antisemitism". "Shocked by the terrible antisemitic terror attack targeting Jews in Boulder, Colorado," he wrote on X. "This is pure Antisemitism, fueled by the blood libels spread in the media. I spoke with our Ambassador in the US and our Consul General in LA. "I pray for those who were wounded in the attack." While the FBI is treating the incident as "an act of terror", the Boulder County Police Department have avoided labelling the incident as such and have urged people not to speculate. We should have more details soon as the FBI holds a press conference at 18.30 local time (01:30 BST). Update: Date: 01:15 BST Title: Evacuation zone has increased hour by hour Content: We have more details on the evolving situation on the ground as the investigation continues. Emergency officials issued the first evacuation order at 14:39 local time (20:39 GMT), warning people away from an area three blocks wide between Pine Street and Walnut Street in central Boulder. Less than an hour later, another order came expanding the evacuation zone to the L-shaped area we highlighted earlier. At 16:10 this nearly doubled in size, sweeping downtown to 9th Street where it remains. We will update you if this changes again. Update: Date: 01:12 BST Title: Witness describes moment he arrived on scene Content: We've spoken to a local worker, who says there was a big police presence when he arrived on the scene. He says his coworkers, who witnessed the attack, told him "someone threw a Molotov cocktail" at a group of people who were gathered there for a peaceful demonstration calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza, and there were people running in the street. "When I arrived at my job, there were three girls alone and I was the only man there. They were very scared." He also explained that the boulevard is usually a very busy area, often hosting events and concerts. Update: Date: 01:06 BST Title: What is Run for Their Lives? Content: Run for Their Lives was the group holding a march when the attack happened. The group holds walking and running events around the world calling for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas, according to their website. It says its events are not protests, but 'peaceful walks'. Their website says there are currently 230 active groups around the world, with the majority in North America and Europe. The groups meet once a week for a 1km walk wearing red T-shirts. They also carry national flags of the citizens who are among the hostages still held in Gaza. The Run for Their Lives Instagram account has more than 6,000 followers. Their Facebook group has more than 2,000 members. The movement was started by a group of Israelis in California, but local events are 'independently led', according to their website. Update: Date: 01:03 BST Title: 'This is terrorism', says Israel's UN ambassador Content: Danny Danon, Israel's ambassador to the UN, has reacted on social media to tonight's attack in Boulder, calling it "terrorism" and calling for "concrete action". In a post on X, the ambassador says "Jewish protesters were brutally attacked". "Terrorism against Jews does not stop at the Gaza border – it is already burning the streets of America", he adds. The FBI has also called it a "targeted terror attack" - but local police say it is too early to say that or speculate on motive. Update: Date: 00:55 BST 2 June Title: FBI due to give update after 'act of terror' Content: FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has posted online saying they have a leadership team on the ground and will provide an update shortly. He has reiterated that the FBI is treating what happened in Boulder as "an act of terror", which contradicts the Boulder County Police Department who we heard from earlier. Bongino says it is being investigated as "an act of ideologically motivated violence" based on the "early information, the evidence, and witness accounts". Police say there will be a press conference at 18:30 local time (01:30 BST). Update: Date: 00:46 BST 2 June Title: Footage from attack shows man holding bottles and being arrested Content: We are seeing several images and videos on social media of the reported suspect, seemingly minutes after the incident took place. While we work on verifying these images, we can describe what we are seeing - some show the apparent suspect, who is shirtless, holding two bottles with pieces of red cloth and a clear liquid inside. As we just reported, the liquid was flammable, according to a source speaking to CBS. In one particular video, a person recording tells a police officer the man was 'throwing Molotov cocktails' - though police earlier said they were unable to confirm this. Videos also show the man being detained by police at the scene. We will bring you more information as we have it. Update: Date: 00:40 BST 2 June Title: Bottles containing flammable liquid thrown at group, police source says Content: Our news partners CBS have heard from a law enforcement source who says the suspect is in custody. The source says at least five people have sustained burns, with one or two of those in a serious condition in hospital. CBS reports that bottles, containing a flammable liquid, were thrown at a group gathered at the Boulder County Historic Courthouse. People had been taking part in an event aimed at raising awareness of the Israeli hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza. Update: Date: 00:28 BST 2 June Title: Police plea for helicopters to stop circling Content: The Boulder Police Department says helicopters circling above the scene on Pearl Street are making it "impossible" for their drones to investigate. The agency has put a plea out on social media calling for all aircraft to avoid airspace over Pearl Street. Update: Date: 00:13 BST 2 June Title: Watch: Boulder police chief confirms multiple people injured Content: This video can not be played Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn also answered some questions from reporters - including how many people were injured and what types of injuries they sustained. Update: Date: 00:11 BST 2 June Title: As police investigate motive, Jewish community reacts Content: The outdoor mall where the attack took place was crowded with people, including those gathered for a pro-Israeli demonstration, authorities said. Police are examining whether the demonstration was targeted, but have yet to confirm a link. The Jewish community in Boulder released a statement condemning the attack, and saying people at the demonstration, which was organised by a group called "Run for Their Lives," were injured. "Our hearts go out to those who witnessed this horrible attack, and prayers for a speedy recovery to those who were injured," Boulder's Jewish Community said in a joint statement. "When events like this enter our own community, we are shaken." The Run for Their Lives group, which aims to show solidarity for Israeli hostages in Gaza, meets regularly at the Pearl Street Mall to "share the message far and wide (specifically via social media) that the hostages have not been forgotten" during a "peaceful walk" but not a protest, according to the group. Update: Date: 00:03 BST 2 June Title: Colorado attorney general says attack was a targeted hate crime Content: Colorado's Attorney General Phil Weiser just released a statement calling the attack at the Pearl Street Mall "targeted". The FBI has called it a terror attack - but local police said during their first press conference that it was too early to tell. 'From what we know, this attack appears to be a hate crime given the group that was targeted," Weiser said. A group of people peacefully demonstrating to show solidarity for Israeli hostages in Gaza were at the Pearl Street Mall this afternoon when the attack unfolded. 'People may have differing views about world events and the Israeli-Hamas conflict, but violence is never the answer to settling differences," Weiser says in the statement. "Hate has no place in Colorado.' Update: Date: 23:46 BST 1 June Title: Watch: 'It's too early to speculate motive' - Boulder Police Chief Content: This video can not be played We can now bring you some more from Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn, who says the police are currently interviewing witnesses and asks people to avoid speculation. Update: Date: 23:46 BST 1 June Title: Footage of the attack shows smoke and chaos Content: Videos of the attack circulating online show a chaotic scene near a fountain at Boulder's outdoor Pearl Street Mall in Colorado. Smoke can be seen filling the air while people run in several directions. At least two people appear to be helping others who have fallen to the ground. In the background, part of the grass appears to be on fire, and people can be heard shouting in the background. A separate video shows police later wheeling people away from the scene on stretchers. Update: Date: 23:17 BST 1 June Title: Victim injuries range from serious to minor Content: Redfearn says multiple people were injured in the attack but does not exactly how many. An area hospital received multiple patients, and some were transferred to other hospitals. Those patients have a range of injuries from "very serious" to more minor. Officials say there will be another update later tonight. Update: Date: 23:16 BST 1 June Title: Police examining motive, will give Jewish community more security if needed Content: A reporter asks if police will provide additional security for Jewish and pro-Israeli protesters. Redfearn says he cannot confirm at this time that this was an attack targeted at a specific group of people, but he understands there are a lot of tensions and issues in the US right now. He says the police will "react accordingly" once they have a clear motive - including additional security and other measures. Update: Date: 23:15 BST 1 June Title: Police asked whether suspect used Molotov cocktail in attack Content: The police chief is continuing to take questions. When someone asks if a Molotov cocktail was thrown in the attack, Redfearn says it's too early to tell, but says the suspect was "setting people on fire". The suspect is an adult male who they are working to identify, he adds. Update: Date: 23:14 BST 1 June Title: Pro-Israel peaceful demonstration was under way during attack, police say Content: A reporter asks if a protest was going on when the attack happened. Redfearn says the area is a "walking pedestrian mall" and was crowded with visitors. He says a group of pro-Israel people were gathered in the mall and were demonstrating peacefully. He said they are interviewing witnesses to decipher if the group was targeted. Redfearn is asked if he would call it a "targeted terror attack" as the FBI has and he says that it is "way too early" to speculate on the motive. He says local police are not yet calling it a targeted terror attack. Update: Date: 23:11 BST 1 June Title: Police also investigating vehicle in the area Content: Chief Redfearn says the scene of the attack is closed off, including businesses, while investigations are ongoing. He adds that the area is not safe yet and that officers are investigating a "vehicle of interest". He says this was a "beautiful Sunday afternoon in downtown Boulder" and this act is "unacceptable". Dozens of people are working to figure out what happened, he says, and asks for patience and for people to think of the victims and their families.
