Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker have broken things off again, and like Kanye West, Lindsay Lohan and Kim Kardashian have done before her, Moakler has turned to her blog to circumvent nasty rumors about her.
Anonymous tipsters have accused Shanna Moakler of cheating on Travis Barker with Gerard Butler as Barker recovered in the hospital from a horrific plane crash last fall. On her MySpace blog, Moakler not only denies the rumors but casts shame on the individuals involved in perpetuating the nasty sentiments.
