Travis Barker ridiculed for liking ‘thirst trap' photos of son Landon's girlfriend

News.com.au17 hours ago
Travis Barker received an online lashing after hitting 'like' on 'thirst trap' photos shared by his son Landon's girlfriend — even though his son appeared in the post.
Skyla Sanders, 20, shared several vacation snaps on Instagram, including a sultry snap of herself posing in a bikini on a bed. The carousel also notably featured two photos of Landon, including a sweet selfie of the 21-year-old and Sanders.
After Travis, 49, gave his stamp of approval, netizens excoriated the Blink-182 drummer on Reddit.
One person weighed in on Barker's 'like,' saying it was 'absolutely gross! he should definitely know better!!'
Another wrote in a seemingly sarcastic tone, 'That's not creepy at all …'
'Yike ew gross,' a third wrote, while a fourth labelled the thumbs-up, 'weird behaviour'.
'Have you seen the stuff he posts? This man has no shame,' claimed yet another person, while another Reddit user argued that 'he can still look at the thirst trap without liking it.'
Others defended the rocker — who does not follow Sanders on the platform and appears to have only 'liked' one previous post of Sanders' which also included photos of Landon.
'His son is included in the photos on this post,' one person chimed in. 'He's [sic] comes off more as a parent who just likes whatever his kids/family posts. They all like each other's photos. Yall reaching a bit with this one.'
Another wrote, 'not saying he doesn't check her because he probably does. But his son is in two of those photos.'
Sanders' various other snaps included a pouty selfie and a mirror shot of her wearing a black bodysuit with nylons and stilettos.
According to the Daily Mail, Landon and the model — the daughter of film director Rupert Sanders and model Liberty Ross — have been dating for several months. In May, Landon took to his own Instagram to show off his girlfriend in a couple of PDA pics — and display a 'Skyla' tattoo on his wrist.
Travis married reality TV icon Kourtney Kardashian in May 2022, and the pair welcomed their first child together, Rocky Thirteen Barker, in November 2023.
Aside from Landon, Travis also shares daughter Alabama, 19, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 26, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler. Kardashian, 46, shares kids Mason, 15, Penelope, 13, and Reign, 10, with ex Scott Disick.
Travis gushed over his romance with the Poosh founder in 2022 interview with Vanity Fair, saying, 'I found the love of my life. It feels like I'm living again.'

A new, larger than life teaspoon sculpture lands on Sydney Harbour

Spoon-bending 'feats' of telekinesis and illusion are the inspiration for a new commission at the Museum of Contemporary Art as the gallery heroes contemporary sculpture on the harbour and tackles a multi-million dollar operating deficit. Los Angeles-based Australian artist Ricky Swallow was fascinated by Uri Geller's so-called mind tricks as a young boy growing up in the pre-internet Melbourne, and has created four warped large-scale stainless-steel spoon sculptures for the MCA's terrace which appear to have been put through the same mind wash. 'I felt like Uri Geller was on an endless world tour with that trick,' Swallow notes. 'I remember trying to bend spoons having seen it demonstrated by Uri Geller on TV. ' Swallow's Bent Forms #1–#4, scaled-up wax prints of actual teaspoons, are the first in a series of prominent sculptural commissions to be installed at the MCA over the next six months, the biggest being the inaugural Neil Balnaves Tallawoladah Lawn Commission to be unveiled late September in honour of the late arts philanthropist. A work by British contemporary sculptor Thomas J. Price will be the first of three to be showcased over three years on the museum's prominent harbour-side verge. The details come as the MCA revealed a $2 million operating deficit for 2024. The loss, which it says is covered by cash reserves, has been attributed to the ongoing impact of the global economic downturn and rising costs of wages, energy, exhibition freight and construction. In January, it introduced admission fees for the first time in 25 years. According to its latest financial results, the MCA is now self-generating about 85 per cent of its revenue from corporate partners, patrons and commercial activities including a new-look gala fundraiser, the MCA Artists Ball, which raised more than $1.1 million. Cost-cutting would continue throughout this year, its chair, Lorraine Tarabay said, its revenue measures moving the gallery closer to a balanced budget by end of the year with the benefit of full impact felt in 2026.

Lindsay Lohan's sequel ‘mildly exhausting' Why sequel to Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis' cult movie Freaky Friday is ‘mildly exhausting'

With a belated Disney sequel, some quality homegrown horror and the return of a stone-cold comedy classic, it's a good week to head to the movies FREAKIER FRIDAY (PG) Director: Nisha Ganatra (Late Night) Starring: Lindsay Lohan, Jamie Lee Curtis, Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons *** As is the case every other month lately, it is back-to-the future time in the world of Disney. The latest dip into the famed studio's extensive catalogue of classic properties is Freakier Friday, a revival of a famous mother-daughter body-swap premise that first surfaced in the 1970s. The key reference point for this busy, fizzy sequel is the 2003 edition of Freaky Friday, in which Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan experienced an inter-family switcheroo in amusing and endearing style. The same coupling returns in pleasing enough fashion, with Curtis' Tess now a podcasting psychologist specialising in how to be a great grandmother. As for Lohan's Anna, these days she is a single mother who is still working in the music business like before, albeit as a producer instead of a performer. If you're assuming these two will be trading physical identities once again, you have got it all wrong. This time around, courtesy of a chance encounter with an incompetent psychic, Anna will be reversing roles with her rebellious teenage daughter Harper (Julia Butters). As for Tess, she is about to exchange bodies with another teenager, her step-granddaughter-to-be, Lily (Sophia Hammons). The presence of Lily in this complicated set-up requires a little explaining. Her father, a British chef named Eric (Manny Jacinto) is about to marry Anna after a whirlwind romance. Neither Lily nor Harper are looking forward to becoming part of a new family unit, as they are mortal enemies at high school. For such a simple movie, Freakier Friday has a lot of plotting for its audience to process, and not all of the storytelling enhances an increasingly convoluted experience. In fact, with two sets of body-swaps in play at any one time, most viewers will find themselves concentrating hard to keep track of who is who, and just as importantly, who isn't who. (Do the maths: one body-swap means two possible combinations of mother-daughter mayhem, while two body-swaps blows the total number of combos out to twelve!) Occasionally, this means Freakier Friday can present as mildly exhausting, when it really should be effortlessly entertaining. The saving graces, of course, are Curtis and Lohan, who both have serious skills when it comes to finding the funny in not having to act their age. Their younger co-stars Butters and Hammons also rise admirably to the challenges posed to them as performers, even though their brash, bratty characters prove difficult to warm to. Freakier Friday is in cinemas now. TOGETHER (MA15+) *** General release That time-honoured metaphor about couples sticking together no matter what gets put to a staggeringly literal test in Together. Most unsuspecting viewers won't see what's really in store for them here. And once they do gather what Together is really up to, there's no way they will ever truly unsee what happens next. Initially at least, the movie presents an authentic and amusing portrait of a long-term couple who have hit that point where both commitment and contentment are two very big issues. Millie and Tim (played by real-life partners Alison Brie and Dave Franco) still want each other, but are giving clear signals they may want different things from their relationship. All of this and more comes to a dramatic head one fateful night, where Millie and Tim must take sudden refuge from a torrential rainstorm. For reasons best not mentioned here, the pair's problems are manifested in a body-altering (or is that body-merging?) form that is increasingly confronting to witness. If you were tough enough to make it through The Substance, then you should be able to cope with the high-concept horrors Together intends to unleash. Just don't say you weren't warned. THIS IS SPINAL TAP (M) Selected cinemas Now rightly recognised as one of the great movie comedies of all time, this gut-bustingly funny rockumentary makes a welcome return to the big screen ahead of a much-anticipated sequel dropping next month. For those arriving late to the party, Spinal Tap is an ailing metal band who just won't call it a day, despite the ever-increasing selectivity of its appeal. Filmmaker Marty DiBergi (Rob Reiner) tracks brain-addled Brits David St Hubbins (Michael McKean), Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest), Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer) and their eclectic entourage as they try to complete the concert tour that will cement their position at the bottom of the charts. The layering of the jokes is dense, the behaviour captured on camera even denser, and the satire of heavy metal's heaviest excesses is on-the-money from beginning to end. Throw in an unexplained series of dead drummers, a microscopic stage re-creation of the Stonehenge monument, and a songbook pushing lyrics and melodies to their absolute limits, and the perfection is complete.
