Travis Barker: "I Kiss Paris Hilton Often"  11/3/06

Former Blink-182 rocker Travis Barker has confirmed his estranged wife Shanna Moakler's claims he kissed Paris Hilton at a party on Saturday (28OCT06), claiming he regularly "tongue kisses" the socialite.

Former Miss USA Moakler and Hilton had an argument over Barker at Los Angeles nightspot Hyde last month (04OCT06).

The hotel heiress filed a police complaint against Moakler, claiming she "shouted obscenities" and punched her in the face, while the beauty queen mantains Hilton's ex-boyfriend pushed her down a flight of stairs and threw a drink over her.

Moakler and Barker met on Sunday (29OCT06) in a bid to repair their friendship for the sake of their two children, but the blonde beauty claims she changed her mind after seeing a photo of her estranged husband kissing Hilton at Hugh Hefner's pre-Halloween party at the Playboy Mansion - where all three stars were in attendance.

Moakler says, "I thought at the end of the discussion he and I could work towards being friends... (Then) I saw pictures of him trying to stick his tongue down Paris's throat at the mansion. (The kiss) was in very poor taste.

"After the events of yesterday and after seeing what he did with Paris at the mansion, it's not possible."

In response to the photos, Barker admits, "Paris and I have tongue kissed before. It's not unusual for me to say hello to Paris and kiss her, but it's not like we are a couple or anything. When we see each other, we say hello.

That's it.

"I was like any other single young man, just enjoying myself. Paris wasn't the only girl I kissed that night."
