Travis Barker Is a Dedicated Dad

Travis Barker and his ex-wife Shanna Moakler have had an on-again / off-again relationship over the past couple of years. Despite their tumultuous relationship, Barker has kept his eye on what's most important to him: his children.

"I have my kids every Friday through Monday, and I don't leave them the whole time I have them," Barker said at the Remy Martin Spirit Unleashed launch at Smashbox Studios in Los Angeles "I stay with them the entire, entire time. I don't go out to lunch with a friend and leave them with anybody else. "

Barker and Moakler have two children together – Landon, 4, Alabama, 2. Moakler has another daughter Atiana, 9, with Oscar de la Hoya.

"I'm obsessed with my children. I'm only [at the party] today because I have to stay busy. After work I have to keep my mind off them because I can't be with them."

He does admit that his current relationship with Moakler is a bit difficult. "I don't have the best relationship with her but it's a work in progress. I think it will get better if we learn to be friends. We absolutely, absolutely, absolutely love each other. I think it's more that we have different ideas on how to raise children, and that can like break down the walls of love as far as I’m concerned."

Barker’s philosophy for raising his children comes directly from his own childhood struggles. "My mom died when I was 16. I had a rough childhood, you know what I mean, but it made me strong … I want a certain thing for my children. I just want to be in their life. I don't want nannies raising my kids."

Ryan Phillippe Was Not Prepared for Intense Fame

Ryan Phillippe admits that he wasn't prepared for the intense public attention that followed his marriage to Reese Witherspoon.

"I fooled myself into believing it would be easier than it was. To have people speculating constantly about the state of your relationship, casting aspersions and telling lies ... It took more of a toll than I was immediately aware of," he told Britain's The Times Magazine while promoting his new film, Stop-Loss.

A downside of the fame is his attitude toward the photographers that follow celebrities which he admits has rubbed off on his daughter Ava. "She's aware and it creates in her a lot of anxiety, which is partly my fault. When Ava was very young, I was young too. I'd get ... visibly angry at the paparazzi back then," he said. "She was my first child, and my instinct was to protect her."

He says the paparazzi attention has had less impact on son Deacon. "Mainly because since his birth I've realized that you've got to make it seem like less of a big deal. Ava to this day, though ... It breaks my heart to think about it, hearing her say, 'My friends at school saw a picture of me in a magazine and they made fun because I was carrying a blanket.' "

Phillippe has found a positive side of all the attention -- he is often photographed wearing t-shirts with charity Web sites he supports, such as Children's Defense and Africare, "because these pictures go around the world and untold numbers of people see them. One organization told me their web hits went up 2,000 percent overnight after one such image was syndicated."
