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.

Salman Rushdie says he is 'over' knife attack as author reveals 'important moment' he returned to New York lecture stage where he was repeatedly stabbed
Sir Salman Rushdie says 'I'm over it' following the horrific knife attack which has now seen the crook jailed. Hadi Matar, 27, was sentenced last month to 25 years for attempted murder after he repeatedly stabbed the author on stage during a lecture in New York in 2022. Sir Salman recently told Radio 4's Today programme that he was 'pleased' the man who set out to kill him had received the maximum possible prison sentence. But he wishes to move on from the terrifying ordeal and focus on his new book coming out later this year. Speaking at the Hay Festival in Wales he said: 'It will be nice to talk about fiction again because ever since the attack, really the only thing anybody's wanted to talk about is the attack, but I'm over it.' He added that an 'important moment' came for him when he and his wife Eliza 'went back to the scene of the crime to show myself I could stand up where I fell down'. The award-winning Midnight's Children and Satanic Verses writer was left blind in one eye after the attack as well as damage to his liver and a paralysed hand caused by nerve damage to his arm. The event had tight security, with sniffer dogs and bag searches. Hadi Matar, 27, was sentenced last month to 25 years for attempted murder after he repeatedly stabbed the author on stage during a lecture in New York in 2022 Once Sir Rushdie entered the stage to an audience of applause, he joked: 'I can't see everyone - but I can hear them.' Although he said he felt 'excellent' he added there 'were bits of me that I'm annoyed about, like not having a right eye. But on the whole, I've been very fortunate and I'm in better shape than maybe I would have expected.' Last year, the 77-year-old published a memoir called Knife about the ordeal, which he said was his way of 'fighting back'. It comes decades after the publication of his novel The Satanic Verses which made him the target of death threats as some Muslims consider blasphemous for its portrayal of the Prophet Muhammad. A short story collection called The Eleventh Hour is set to be released by the author in November.

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.
