DUPRI: 'BARKER TO BE DISCHARGED IN TWO WEEKS'

Music producer JERMAINE DUPRI predicts his friend TRAVIS BARKER will be released from hospital in two weeks.
The former Blink-182 drummer and pal Adam 'DJ Am' Goldstein were the only survivors after the Learjet they were passengers on failed to clear the runway in South Carolina last week (19Sep08) and burst into flames.
Four passengers died in the crash, including Barker's assistant Chris Baker.
Both men were both hospitalised in a burns unit in Augusta, Georgia, but Goldstein was discharged on Saturday (20Sep08) and returned to Los Angeles.
And Dupri expects his friend will also be able to go home soon.
He tells People, "He's doing good, he's gonna be all right. He's just got a lot of healing to do.
"He's supposed to send a message out to everybody in a couple of days to let everybody know that he's feeling better. He's definitely feeling the love from everyone.
"He's just now getting everything in the hospital set up for him - iPods, computers, everything that he needs. You got to make sure he is comfortable."
Dupri - Barker's partner in the So So Def clothing line - also recalls the moment he learned of the crash.
He adds, "I was at home, somebody called me early in the morning. "It was kind of crazy and I didn't really comprehend what had happened."
