Landon Barker is the moment. The pop-punk progeny (his dad is Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker) is a social-media fave, a two-time reality-tv star, and a musician with a bunch of singles to his name.

The “rockstar-inspired” capsule collection will debut June 15 and is available online at boohooMan.com. Pricing ranges from 19 to 67.

Exclusive: Travis Barker, drummer in pop-punk band Blink-182 and paramour of Kourtney Kardashian, is full of tattoos and, more recently, diamond dental implants.

He now is turning these exploits into a television series.

Barker has partnered with Bullish Content, run by former Kinetic Content exec Paul Lima, and This Is Just a Test Media, the company behind TLC reality series I Am Jazz, to develop Inked and Iced.

The unscripted series will follow Barker’s new business venture with “diamond dentist” Dr. Tom Connelly, featuring celebrities and musicians undergoing high-end diamond dental implants while simultaneously receiving full-body tattoos, all while under anesthesia.

It’s not Barker’s first brush with reality television; the musician starred in MTV’s Meet the Barkers, which ran for two seasons, and is expected to star in the Kardashians’ upcoming Hulu series.

The series was developed by Lima, who struck an overall production deal with...

When the father-daughter duo stopped by Et on Monday, Alabama revealed she’d love to take center stage on ABC’s DWTS youngster spinoff, set to premiere this spring.

"I would love to… let’s do it," she said, noting that she has some dancing skills up her sleeve.

Like the flagship series, Dancing With the Stars Junior will pair celeb kids and children of celebrities with professional junior ballroom dancers for choreographed routines in different styles. A panel of ballroom experts will serve as judges – though no casting announcements have been made by ABC just yet.

Travis Barker and his ex are in an amicable place - and it's no small thing. The drummer - whose new Blink-182 album, California, is on sale Friday - and ex-wife Shanna Moakler weathered a tabloid-fueling 2008 divorce and contentious custody battle. But these days, Barker says they're in a good place - because of their two kids, son Landon, 12, and daughter Alabama, 10. "The kids' best interest is what we all have in mind - there's nothing else," Barker, 40, says of their reconciliation. "Our relationship was so long ago. We're just being friends. Doing the best coparenting is the most important thing.

Now this is how you start the school year in style!  Shanna Moakler took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a sweet snapshot of her two kids with ex-hubby Travis Barker, Alabama and Landon Barker, on their first day of school.  In the candid snap, little Alabama looks like a carbon copy of her model mama, but with the same style as the Blink 182 drummer. We're loving her pink tresses, blue flannel, black jeans and Converse. Alabama even has a black tattoo choker -- who knew those things still even existed?!  Landon definitely looks a lot his famous papa in the pic too, rocking green hair, a T-shirt, white basketball shorts and sneakers.  "First day of school for these two little monsters! First day of middle school for @landon.barker @alabamaluellabarker," Moakler captioned the cute candid.  The last time we saw the "Meet The Barkers" stars' cute kiddies was...

It's been 10 years since Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler's MTV reality show, "Meet the Barkers" -- and wow, is it crazy to see how much their children have grown since the series! The Blink 182 drummer brought his kiddos to the 2015 Teen Choice Awards on Sunday night, where the trio posted for silly pictures together backstage at Candie's photobooth.  The rocker kept it casual for the star-studded event, sporting a black tank top, black sweatpants and a matching baseball hat. His son looked like a mini version of his dad, rocking a black skull T-shirt, black leather skinnies, red sneakers and a green-tipped 'do. His daughter, meanwhile, looked cute in a nail polish-printed dress, fur jacket and fun pink accessories. Can you believe how big they are now?! Daughter Alabama, who was born during filming, celebrated her 10th birthday in June, while Landon turns 12 in October. While 10 is a...

It's hard to believe that it's been 10 years since Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler's MTV reality show Meet the Barkers first hit the air, but even harder to wrap our minds around how grown up the former couple's two kids are! The duo's son, Landon, was merely a toddler while filming the hit series and is getting ready to turn 12 this coming fall. Meanwhile, the former Blink 182 drummer and beauty pageant's daughter, Alabama, just celebrated her 10th birthday in June—we can remember when she was born on the show! Adorably enough, Alabama looks like a mini-me of her mama, while not-so-little Landon is practically a spitting image of her famous dad. And by the looks of...

It's been 10 years since Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler's MTV reality show, "Meet the Barkers" -- and wow, is it crazy to see how much their children have grown since the series! Daughter Alabama, who was born during filming, just celebrated her 10th birthday last month ... while Landon turns 12 in October. Proud papa Travis shared a selfie with the former couple's two children on Sunday, the three making silly faces at the camera. "Best weekend ever #FamilyOverEverything #LagunaBeach #RadTimes #SpazzOut," he captioned the pic. Alabama took to her own social media account to share another pic from her family weekend, showing the 10-year-old in full makeup as she met up with the boys for 4th of July celebrations. "Driving to eat in Laguna with @travisbarker @landonasherbarker happt forth of July #fun #beach #cool #selfies #pretty #cute #makeup," she captioned the pic. While 10 may be a little young to be sporting that much makeup,...

Shanna Moakler loves to show off her brood! The proud mama took to Twitter on Tuesday to share a sweet snapshot with her adorable daughter Alabama. "Field Trip!! Let's do this! #ilovescience," she captioned the cute candid with the 9-year-old beauty. From those gorgeous greens eyes to that signature pout, Alabama is the spitting image of her mother. Maybe she'll follow in Shanna's Miss USA footsteps?! Like her mom, Alabama shares a ton of photos on Instagram, documenting her trips with dad Travis Barker and brother Landon, 11, and showing off her latest hairstyles. It seems Shanna is ready to move on from her rocky relationship with her ex-husband -- and recent alleged death threats -- by removing tattoos of his name from her wrist and neck.  Back in December, the "Meet the Barkers" stars were both cuffed and briefly detained by police after threatening to kill each other via text message.

When they first met, it seemed like an oddball pairing - albeit one that worked. Travis Barker was the heavily tattooed and pierced drummer with rock band Blink-182. Shanna Moakler was the stunning former Miss USA. The couple exchanged vows in a gothic wedding at a luxury resort in Santa Barbara, California, on Oct. 30, 2004, one year after Moakler gave birth to their son, Landon. Their daughter, Alabama, arrived on Christmas Eve 2005. In 2005 they also invited the world into their relationship with their popular MTV reality show, Meet the Barkers. On camera, the couple fought, made up, made out (often!), but eventually separated in 2006. Barker,...

New year, new lease on life? We hope that's the case for Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler! Last month, the onetime Meet the Barkers stars were both cuffed and briefly detained by police after threatening via text message to kill each other, according to court documents newly released and obtained today by E! News. According to a child custody evalutiaon filed in L.A.

Sept. 29 kicked off the season premiere of ‘Eric & Jessie: Game On’ on E! and while it’s a new couple we’re not extremely familiar with, these two have all the characteristics to be the next ‘it’ couple in Hollywood.

NFL player Eric Decker and pop singer Jessie James have everything they need — an amazing new house, adorable puppies, and an overwhelming amount of love.

Eric Decker & Jessie James: A Perfect Combination

Being introduced to Eric & Jessie: Game On, I’m going to be honest — I wasn’t sure if I was interested. As a football fan, I know him. As a pop fan (and lover of her hit Wanted), I think Jessie’s adorable.

The trend of hot couple shows — ie. Newlyweds (the reality show not the game show), Britney & Kevin: Chaotic, Meet the Barkers, and Khloe & Lamar — has fizzled a bit,...

Without Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica, is the honeymoon over at MTV?

Travis Barker of Meet the Barkers is not whipping up the frenzy another tattooed rocker dad, Ozzy Osbourne, did. Even MTV's most reliable standby, The Real World, has cooled.
