Rocker Travis Barker has been playing down reports that he dated heiress Paris Hilton but he does admit that the drama did bring him good press. In Hollywood there is no such thing as bad publicity. Travis says he was amused by the incident of his estranged wife using Paris Hilton as a punching bag.
Travis revealed, "I got out of a bad relationship where someone was unfaithful and I went to dinner with someone. I went out to a club with someone. That's normal for a dude who just gets divorced. I never thought I would be separated from my wife and I'd be with another girl and it'd be all over the tabloids and my wife would be knocking her out. When all that happened, it was a trip, and to this day I think the paparazzi know that I don't want any part of it. But I can't think of better press than a girl beating up another girl over me, so I had to embrace that."
