Farrah Abraham makes news again, stating to Howard Stern that she pleasures herself to her own sex tape, “Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom.”

In a rather… revealing interview with Howard Stern, “Teen Mom” star Farrah Abraham said, “I masturbate to . . . I like to watch my own video.”

Abraham, 22 and mother of 3-year-old Sophia Abraham, continues on to say, “I mean, I’ve had my video for a while so I’ve seen it . . . a lot.”

She seems to be holding nothing back during this interview.

Abraham apparently stood by her claim that her XXX-rated tape was originally filmed as a private “home video” but was then leaked.

According to US Weekly, not everyone on Stern’s staff believed her. “She’s sitting here lying,” JD Harmeyer argued. “It was a pre-meditated tape.”

Of course, Abraham denied that it was a pre-meditated tape, and when she does, Harmeyer sarcastically responded by saying

“You’re not everywhere trying to get your picture taken on the beach.”

Abraham fired back by saying, “You’re an angry individual. You really need to go take care of yourself.”

What Abraham meant by “take care of yourself” is still up in the air, but it seems that she had no hard feelings against Stern or the show, considering she tweeted the following two tweets:

Love @sternshow #HowardStern !:) early morning done best xo!

— FarrahAbraham (@F1abraham) June 12, 2013

Did you catch @sternshow Radio interview today?:) <3 Howard! twitter.com/F1abraham/stat… — FarrahAbraham (@F1abraham) June 12, 2013

It would seem like a safe bet that Abraham is soaking up what she can from her media exposure, even if she claims that she doesn’t go looking for the attention.

She just continues on with her life as if nothing happened, or at least that’s how she portrays herself.

Farrah Abraham’s admission to Howard Stern that she pleasures herself to her own sex tape is just one more thing the world probably could have lived without.

Farrah Abraham Says She ‘Pleasures Herself To Her Sex Tape’ is a post from: The Inquisitr

This morning on his Sirius XM radio show, Howard Stern said he will be the next host of The Tonight Show.

It’s very possible that Howard was just kidding as he told Stern Show co-host Robin Quivers that he’s already talked to Matt Lauer about coming on The Tonight Showwhen he takes over. At least some of what Howard was saying was clearly a joke. Broadcast TV would never allow anything like what Howard suggested he asked Matt Lauer to do on the air.

A little over a week ago a rumor dropped that Howard was being groomed by NBC to take over Jimmy Fallon’s show, and that Fallon would replace Leno. Leno’s contract expires ins 2014, and since the show never really bounced back to it’s pre-Conan O’Brian levels, NBC may want to shake things up.

As a long-time Stern fan, I don’t see Howard taking the later show. He’s been too successful, and if he makes the move to late night TV, he would want The Tonight Show more than Late Night. Would NBC consider him for the job given his raunchy talk show past and present?

The family-safe version of Howard Stern has been well received by viewers of America’s Got Talent. Howard’s wife Beth Ostrosky Stern told the New York Post that Howard’s plan to show his safe-for-broadcast-TV side is working:

“We were in a hotel and all these little kids recognize him now as the judge from America’s Got Talent. Usually it’s their dads. But now it is screaming little kids. People are now seeing him for who he really is.”

After showing NBC he can be trusted in primetime, Stern can certainly be trusted after kids should be in bed.

NBC has denied the rumor that Stern is being tapped to replace Fallon. Howard may have indirectly addressed the Fallon rumor by joking about taking over The Tonight Show instead, or he could actually be getting the job.

The NSFW audio of Howard joking around with Robin is below, if you dare.

Howard Stern Says He’s Replacing Jay Leno As Tonight Show Host is a post from: The Inquisitr

Is Howard Stern being groomed to replace Jimmy Fallon?

Sources at NBC recently revealed that the shock jock could take over the late night chat show if Fallon replaces Leno. However, the network has confirmed nothing about these rumors yet.

According to the Los Angeles Times, NBC executives are starting to get their ducks in a row for when Leno decides to call it quits. If recent rumors turn out to be true, then Howard Stern will replace Jimmy Fallon when the time comes.

After his successful stint on America’s Got Talent, the network is beginning to view Stern in a different light. Beth Ostrosky Stern told The New York Post that people are starting to see her husband as something more than a shock jock.

She explained:

“We were in a hotel and all these little kids recognize him now as the judge from ‘America’s Got Talent.’ Usually it’s their dads. But now it is screaming little kids. People are now seeing him for who he really is.”

The Inquisitr reported earlier this month that Jay Leno could soon part ways with The Tonight Show. Although Leno doesn’t have a specific date set for his retirement, rumor has it NBC is looking to make some changes after the 2013-2014 season.

Should Jay Leno decide to say goodbye to the long-running NBC talk show once again, Jimmy Fallon could take over hosting duties on The Tonight Show. If this scenario plays out, then sources say Howard Stern could replace Fallon on Late Night.

Howard Stern is currently gearing up for his second season of America’s Got Talent. This season will find Mel B. stepping in for Sharon Osbourne. TMZ recently reported that Project Runway host Heidi Klum has been brought in as a fourth judge.

Stern To Replace Fallon? NBC ‘Grooming’ Shock Jock is a post from: The Inquisitr

Howard Stern took up hard for former and first American Idol Kelly Clarkson, ripping into Clive Davis for upsetting the singer after she replied to Davis in a scathing open letter.

Howard Stern is himself judge on an Idol-like show and has been known to both praise and denigrate “talent” equally. But when it comes to Kelly Clarkson, Stern is a fan, it seems — both of her music and her story.

On Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show, the “shock jock” seemed to be bothered for Clarkson based on the content of a letter she released in response to Davis’ version of their working relationship in his memoir, The Soundtrack Of My Life.

In the book, Clive Davis recounts his dealings with Kelly Clarkson, and apparently his recall is not flattering. In response, the singer said:

“So I just heard Clive Davis is releasing a memoir and spreading false information about me and my music. I refuse to be bullied and I just have to clear up his memory lapses and misinformation for myself and for my fans. It feels like a violation. Growing up is awesome because you learn you don’t have to cower to anyone – even Clive Davis.”

Before Howard Stern got involved, Clarkson addressed her alleged “hysterical sobbing” in Davis’ office but seems to suggest he conflated two different events. She admits:

“But, yes, I did cry in his office once. I cried after I played him a song I had written about my life called “Because Of You.” I cried because he hated it and told me verbatim that I was a “s***ty writer who should be grateful for the gifts that he bestows upon me.” He continued on about how the song didn’t rhyme and how I should just shut up and sing. This was devastating coming from a man who I, as a young girl, considered a musical hero and was so honored to work with.”

After Clarkson’s letter, Howard Stern jumped in and said on his show that Kelly Clarkson has an “amazing voice” and has “worked hard to get to where she is,” adding:

“It sickens me when management guys like to set the record straight about how f***ing creative they are and what geniuses they are … This guy is trying to diminish what she does? Doesn’t he have enough in life, can’t he tell his story without f***ing degrading her?”

Burn. After Kelly Clarkson and Howard Stern’s criticism, Davis told the LA Times he is “truly very sorry that she has decided to take issue with what I know to be an accurate depiction of our time together.”

Howard Stern is sorry for nasty remarks he initially made about Lena Dunham, and the radio “shock jock” turned America’s Got Talent judge has issued a mea culpa for ragging on the Girls creator.

Stern says he’s sorry for deeming Dunham a “little fat girl who kind of looks like Jonah Hill,” a characterization made during a recent rant about the show Girls and the star herself — and while body shaming is never acceptable, Howard seems to kind of speak for everyone in the strange ambiguous like slash dislike they feel about the show, its subject matter and tone. (And by everyone, I mean me, at least.)

Stern is sorry for a rant in which he quipped, speaking of Dunham’s Girls role and visibility:

“I learned that this little fat chick writes the show and directs the show, and that makes sense to me because she’s such a camera hog that the other characters barely are on.”

But yesterday, Howard peddled backwards, telling listeners of his SiriusXM show:

“I felt bad because I really do love the show Girls and enjoy it, and I admire the girl who writes it … So I said to [show producer Gary], ‘would you please contact Lena Dunham and please tell her that I would like to explain myself to her on the air and apologize to her because I do love the show and it makes me feel bad that she is getting the impression that I somehow think she’s just a talentless little fat chick?’ “

After Stern said he was sorry, he added:

“It took me a while to get there … all of the sudden I went, ‘This show’s really really funny. I like it.’ I kind of just started liking the show. And I’ve done a whole 360 on the show and I really admire the girl who writes it, and I actually like when she comes on camera … I’m a superfan now. I really love it. I almost went to the premiere the other night.”

Do you find Howard Stern’s acquired taste for Lena Dunham and Girls to mirror your experience with the show too?

Howard Stern Sorry For Hating On Lena Dunham, Is A Fan Now is a post from: The Inquisitr

Howard Stern went on record Monday to clarify his comments about Girls star and creator Lena Dunham, calling reports that he disparaged her “a hatchet job.”

Last week, Stern said about Dunham that she was a “little fat girl who kinda looks like Jonah Hill, and she keeps taking her clothes off, and it kind of feels like rape.”

Stern went on to say, “I learned that this little fat chick writes the show and directs the show and that makes sense to me because she’s such a camera hog that the other characters barely are on.”

Dunham later said at the New York City premiere of Girls, “It’s so funny, I listen every day. I think Howard Stern has really earned the right to freedom of speech.”

She also told David Letterman that Stern’s comment put her in the best mood.

“I just want to be like, my gravestone says, ‘She was a little fat chick, and she got it going,’” she said.

But Stern apparently wanted Dunham to know that his comments were taken out of context. He told his producer to reach out to her so that he could apologize.

“It makes me feel bad and I think she is getting the impression that I somehow think she’s just a talentless little fat chick,” Stern said. He also said that he really loves the show and he admires Dunham.

Stern sidekick Robin Quivers also said that the reports were one-sided and that people were bashing him for something that he didn’t even mean.

Are you surprised that Howard Stern apologized for his comments about Lena Dunham?

Oh, Fox News. Ever the bed of controversy, aren’t we? A live report was interrupted this afternoon by a crazed bystander in Times Square screaming “Howard Stern’s penis!” into the camera.

Fox Business reporter Lauren Simonetti became the news by chance this afternoon when her live report from Times Square was interrupted by a man who screamed “Howard Stern’s penis!” into the camera.

As millions of tourists shuffled into crammed Midtown Manhattan for the New Year’s Eve 2012 celebration, Simonetti was interrupted by a man proudly declaring “Baba Booey! Howard Stern’s penis!” and “I love penis!”

TV and pop culture fans will recognize this cute phrase from an episode of Family Guy, in which Peter Griffin grabs a microphone to make a similar declaration as officials attempt to wrestle the mic away from him.

The phrase is popularly used by Howard Stern’s fans who crash live television events to get national attention to the shock-jock’s radio show, though we think the act is mostly rooted in the spirit of shenanigans and “lulz.”

Hilariously, Fox News awkwardly cut away to generic Times Square stock footage as Simonetti continued her interrupted report. After her segment was over, hosts Rick Folbaum and Arthel Neville apologized to viewers who may have been offended by Howard Stern’s penis, and joked “we’ve all been there before.”

Here’s video of the man crashing the Fox News report to declare “Howard Stern’s penis!” via Mediaite:

Fox News Live Report Interrupted By Man Screaming ‘Howard Stern’s Penis!’ [Video] is a post from: The Inquisitr

Chris Rock has quietly settled a breach of confidentiality lawsuit, itself based on an outlandish case that has dogged him for over a decade.

A convoluted case by anyone’s standards, its components involve a forgetful Hungarian model, a paternity suit, an alleged kleenex tissue, and the jailed private investigator-enforcer Anthony Pellicano.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the background to this case is a claim made by model Monika Zsibrita who alleges that Rock attempted to force her to perform oral sex on him in a Beverley Hills Four Seasons Hotel in 1998.

Despite this alleged unsavory version of events, Zsibrita then claimed that she and Rock went out for a second date (that’s the forgetful bit) and then claimed Rock forced her to have sexual intercourse.

After Zsibrita fell pregnant, she brought a paternity suit against Rock, but two subsequent DNA tests proved that Rock wasn’t the father. As a result Zsibrita dropped the paternity action in September 2001, and she and Rock signed a confidentiality agreement, the San Marino Tribune reports.

A line seemed to have been drawn.

However, Zsibrita later filed a civil suit against Rock in 2008 in Los Angeles’ Superior Court claiming that the comedian had breached their confidentiality agreement. Her suit didn’t only name Rock but also Pellicano, various police officials, and the Pacific Bell Telephone Company.

Listed in Zsibrita’s complaint were claims of breach of contract, invasion of privacy, intrusion, trespass, wiretapping and more.

According to the San Marino Tribune, the model’s complaint noted that Rock had spoken about the paternity lawsuit in a 2004 interview with shock radio jock, Howard Stern. It also cited Rock’s hiring of the now jailed Pellicano, a revelation which apparently emerged during Pellicano’s own wiretapping trial in 2008.

Court records reveal that, while giving testimony in Pellicano’s criminal case, Rock admitted that his lawyer had hired Pellicano to investigate Zsibrita after she filed the paternity suit.

Inevitably, Pellicano — an infamous private investigator currently serving 15 years in Big Springs Correctional Facility in Texas on 76 charges including identity theft, wire fraud, and racketeering, not to mention a prior charge involving hand grenades and explosives — complicated an already complicated case.

Zsibrita also alleged in her 2008 complaint that her house was broken into and that a picture of her daughter was taken, behavior, which is allegedly not out of the ordinary for those who found themselves on the wrong side of Pellicano, according to journalist Anita Busch.

During this later complaint, further alleged details about the original paternity lawsuit were made. Zsibrita claimed that she kept a “Kleenex tissue” of Rock’s sperm in a freezer. In addition, an extraordinary story about how the results of a blood test were transported also surfaced, the Hollywood Reporter notes.

Ultimately 12 of Zsibrita’s 13 claims were summarily dismissed by the judge. However, the judge refused to throw out the original contract breach claim despite a counter-argument of statute of limitations from Rock’s legal team.

After the notice of settlement was filed last week, Neville Johnson, Zsibrita’s attorney, told the San Marino Tribune “the matter has been resolved.”

The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Brian Wolf of Lavely and Singer, who represented Rock, said the dispute had been “resolved amicably.”

Howard Stern has reportedly signed on for another year with the popular television series America’s Got Talent, according to the New York Times.

For a while it was unclear if the shock jock would return for another year on the televised talent show. However, NBC has put speculation to rest by announcing that Stern will return for at least one more season.

Although Howard didn’t prove the large boost in ratings the network was hoping for, executives explained that the addition of Stern ultimately kept the series afloat. This may explain why NBC was interested in getting him back for another go-around.

Deadline reports that some celebrities have openly criticized Stern’s involvement with such a mainstream program. Kid Rock and other critics have slammed the controversial disc jockey for essentially “selling out” by signing on for America’s Got Talent.

Despite the backlash Stern received when he first agreed to take part in the TV show, the shock jock is returning for yet another season. If these criticisms ruffled his feathers, then it really isn’t affecting his decision to return.

According to Newsday, Stern seems quite excited about his deal with America’s Got Talent.

“I’m very, very excited, honestly, about going back to America’s Got Talent,” he explained. “”I’m very excited to be working again with [executive producer] Simon Cowell and NBC and all the various folks who work there.”

“I think that’s great, because I certainly enjoy you on the show,” said Stern’s partner in crime Robin Quivers.

As of this writing, it’s unclear who will replace Sharon Osbourne next season. Since she has been extremely vocal about not returning, chances are the network will have to find someone to take her place.

“Howard Stern Returning to ‘America’s Got Talent’. I want to be a judge with him. We would tear it up,” said Today Show veteran Al Roker.

Howard Stern To Return For Another Year Of ‘America’s Got Talent’ is a post from: The Inquisitr

America’s Got Talent is reportedly eyeing Carly Simon, Leann Rimes, and Shannen Doherty to fill the vacancy left by Sharon Osbourne, according to TMZ.

Since producers are looking for a strong, opinionated woman to fill the void left by Osbourne’s departure, the fact that Simon, Rimes, and Doherty are being courted for the job makes perfect sense. Of course, none of this information has been confirmed on an official level as of this writing.

The Daily Mail reports that big changes are apparently in store for producer Simon Cowell’s televised talent competition. As season seven drew to a close, the program experienced a decline in ratings. In order to keep people interested, producers are headed back to the drawing board.

“AGT is massively successful, but every TV show needs a refresh to make it the best it can be,” an anonymous source told the website.

To make matters worse for producers, Howard Stern recently stated that he’s unsure if he will return for another season of America’s Got Talent. Fellow judge Howie Mandel has remained tight-lipped as to whether or not he’s signed on for another round.

According to the Examiner, the person selected to replace Sharon Osbourne will be determined once Stern has made a decision regarding next season. What’s more, producers haven’t entirely ruled out adding a fourth judge to the show.

While nothing has been set in stone just yet, it has been confirmed that Simon Cowell’s current girlfriend Carmen Electra will not join Stern and Mandel at the judge’s table.

Sharon Osbourne’s decision to leave America’s Got Talent came after NBC fired her son Jack from the reality series Stars Earn Stripes after he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

“I just can’t be fake,” she explained to the New York Post. ““It’s discrimination, and it was badly handled.”

The reigning “Miss Howard Stern” was arrested for DUI earlier this month, reveals a new report by TMZ.

29-year-old Andrea Ownbey crashed into another car and didn’t even realize it, according to the police report obtained by TMZ. Ownbey, who has been the proud holder of the Miss Howard Stern pageant title since 2002, hit the other car while drunkenly cruising streets around Chattanooga, Tennessee sometime after 10pm on October 8.

Ownbey was found by a cop close to the scene of the accident. When he heard the crash, the officer rushed to Ownbey’s smashed car and found the beauty queen, who stunk of booze, attempting to reassemble her cell phone. In the report, the officer describes how:

“[Ownbey] was not aware that she had been in a traffic crash.”

And things would get worse for Miss Howard Stern. Although she told the cop she had drunk only two glasses of wine before getting behind the wheel, Ownbey’s story didn’t add up: she comfortably failed a field sobriety test, while a breathalyzer test administered at a local hospital saw her score a .178 – that’s some way over the legal limit of .08.

A search of the car turned up more bad news for Ownbey: cops found a bag of weed, along with a weed pipe and an assortment of prescription drugs.

After being treated at hospital, Miss Howard Stern was carted off to a nearby jail, where she was charged with DUI, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance and driving while in possession. The result of which was this snap for the Ownbey family album:

Ownbey, who was crowned Miss Howard Stern back in 2002, seems bemused by the coverage afforded to her drink driving antics. Writing on her Twitter account, the blonde said:

i never thought the day i might be in tmz would be over this crazy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!

— Andrea Brooke Ownbey (@AndreaOwnbey) October 21, 2012

TMZ contacted the driver of the car Ownbey slammed into. He told the site that Andrea came “flying out of nowhere” and rear-ended his Jeep, which was written off in the collision. TMZ also approached Ownbey for comment, but there has been no response so far.

Ownbey holds the Miss Howard Stern title to this day, on the account that the beauty pageant has not been repeated in the last decade.

She has been declared a member of the “Wack Pack,” a group of people who appear on the show who tend to be unusual or unconventional in some way. Stern has previously stated all Wack Packers share an inability to understand why they’re funny.

Her “Miss Howard Stern” title means Ownbey has made numerous appearances on Stern’s show. Her first appearance on the shock jock’s show was also her most famous, mainly because she was valiantly dubbed the “World’s Dumbest Stripper” by Stern. The cruel nickname came about after Ownbey, a stripper at the time, scored an 88 on an IQ test she had taken prior to going on air:

Since Miss Howard Stern’s DUI arrest, Ownbey has spent most of her time thanking Twitter followers for their words of encouragement over her charge.

The Dalton, Georgia born native does have some colorful history where auto accidents are concerned. In July 2009, Ownbey was involved in an almost fatal car crash, when she smashed her car into a telephone pole.

The accident left her with a metal plate in her head after both she and her passenger were thrown from the vehicle, with Ownbey hitting the ground head first. As her elder sister later revealed in a call to the Howard Stern show, Ownbey was given only a 2% chance of survival due to the substantial amount of fluid pressure on her brain and a fractured skull. Doctors inserted the metal plate in Miss Howard Stern’s head to aid in reconstruction, and Ownbey later shared a picture of herself in her hospital bed with fans.

However, that particular brush with death seems to have done little to warn Ownbey about the perils of the road.

Ownbey’s association with Stern remains the biggest source of her fame. Aside from her appearances on the shock jock’s infamous radio show, she has appeared in a four-episode reality TV show on Howard TV.

Alert the presses because Victoria Jackson has come out of obscurity to give her opinion about gay marriage, and it isn’t pretty. The Saturday Night Live alum, who was a cast member from 1986 – 1992 made headlines briefly in 2011 for endorsing the Tea Party and singing catchy little diddys such as There’s a Communist Living in the White House, has taken to the airwaves to express her feelings on gay marriage.

Shock Jock radio host Howard Stern had Victoria Jackson on his show and inevitably pushed her button on gay marriage. It was then that Jackson told Stern, “You have to take it up with God. God made the rules. He made a man and woman’s bodies fit together, he made the Ten Commandments. I believe the Bible is God’s word and I base all my world view on the Bible.”

When Stern questioned her stance and asked why she has such hate for that particular lifestyle, Victoria Jackson didn’t mince her words and responded, “I don’t think there’s such a thing as gay marriage. The definition of marriage is man and woman.” However, Stern played the devil’s advocate and suggests that we change the definition of marriage, which warranted another response out of Jackson, “that would make God mad.”

Also during the segment Victoria Jackson made it clear that she doesn’t discriminate, or at least tried to make that argument in her statement to Howard, saying, “I have gay friends … I don’t make their identity their sexuality. To me, he’s my fun, theatre-loving, funny friend … why is his identity his sexuality.”

What do you think about Victoria Jackson’s comments on gay marriage?

It’s official! Hulk Hogan’s co-star in his recently leaked sex tape is the ex-wife of his best friend. Hulk confirmed nearly a week of speculation on The Howard Stern Show.

It was initially suspected that Hulk Hogan’s co-star in his recently leaked sex tape was none of than Heather Clem, the ex-wife of Hulk’s best friend, radio DJ Bubba the Love Sponge. Hulk confirmed the speculation with Heather’s blessing to Howard Stern during a recent appearance on the show, reports TMZ. Hulk confessed that the nationally syndicated radio DJ gave him his blessing to sleep with his estranged wife six whole years ago.

That’s when the tape in question was filmed as well. Though Hulk was obviously still married to Linda Hogan at the time, Hulk confessed that her verbal and emotional abuse toward him in the twilight years of their marriage prompted him to seek a bit of physical comfort, extra-marital style.

According to The Hollywood Gossip, Hulk wasn’t exactly thrilled with his performance in the tape either. That much seems readily apparent from the clip posted over at Gawker in which Hulk expressed disbelief that the tryst even happened because he had recently eaten and felt like a pig.

Hulk also said that he’s working hard with his legal team to find out who leaked the sex tape, saying that he plans to press charges because he did not know that he was being recorded. That much is also readily apparent from the clip posted over at Gawker.

Though we don’t know who leaked the tape yet (Gawker said that they received the tape anonymously and at no charge), recent speculation has put the onus on Bubba the Love Sponge himself as it seems as though the incident occurred at his own house with his blessing. Whether or not he did it and what his motives could have been are the subject of much speculation.

Who do you think leaked Hulk’s sex tape?

Shock jock Howard Stern’s greatest moments seem to be when he riffs on politics, and the DJ was pulling no punches when he told his listeners not only is he not voting for Mitt Romney, but he feels not entirely sure Romney shouldn’t be behind bars.

Howard Stern is no stranger to politics, having run for governor of New York back in the early to mid 90s. But the New York-based DJ struck out at Romney for his business practices in a lengthy rant during which he slammed the GOP candidate for financial dealings Stern says are shady and in his opinion, borderline criminal.

In his rant, Stern leaned heavily on a recent and in-depth piece penned by Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi, titled “Greed and Debt: The True Story of Mitt Romney and Bain Capital.” In the piece, Taibbi (briefly referred to erroneously by Stern as “Mike Taibbi”) details the leveraged buyout business and some business dealings in which Bain engaged in recent years.

The piece itself is an excellent read, and Taibbi’s novelist-cum-financial-reporter style makes even the driest economic journalism read like a mystery tale. Stern, who ran as a Libertarian back in the 90s, emphasizes that he has no quarrel with the GOP in general and there are “some Republicans that are good.”

Regardless of your party affiliation, Stern says, you should be wary of leveraged buyouts — which are explained more deeply in Taibbi’s piece. But, Stern explains, he feels Romney’s business acumen is a weak selling point:

“This is a guy running for President who says he’s a great businessman and that he knows how to create jobs…He was such a monster there … To me, he’s a demon. How could this guy have any compassion? How could this guy really care about this country? … This new scam, leverage buyouts, it doesn’t produce a product! It takes money and puts it into other people’s hands … If this is a guy who is fundamentally out for himself and not altruistic and want to help other people? How could a guy like that be President? … This was just an industry of moving money around…It reminds me of, like, a bank robbery.”

You can watch Stern’s full anti-Romney rant below, but fair warning: very harsh language is used in the start of the clip. Do not play with children in the room.

Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura is strongly considering a run for the presidency in 2016, according to the Examiner. If Ventura has any say in the matter, he wants shock jock and American’s Got Talent judge Howard Stern as his vice president.

“The people of America have got to show me something before I put my ass out there,” Ventura said during his appearance on the Howard Stern Show last Monday. “They gotta show me they want me. If the people of the United States will — grass roots, no money — get me ballot access in all 50 states, rise up and guarantee I can be in the debate? If they could accomplish that for me, I would run in 2016.”

After announcing his potential bid for president, Ventura then turned his attention to Stern.

“How ’bout if you run with me? I’m serious.” Stern, who is a pretty busy guy right now, said that he would consider the invitation.

During a recent event for the New York University College Libertarians, Ventura also touched on his bid for the presidency in 2016. “Who knows, in 2016 it could be Ventura and Stern,” he said, stating that the Stern in question was, in fact, the infamous Howard Stern.

Should Ventura and Stern find themselves in the White House, the former professional wrestler already has a plan of action in the works. “The first thing we’re going to do, ” said Ventura. “We’re going to get rid of the Patriot Act. Second of all, I would absolutely cut defense spending to help balance the budget. I would also close all these massive bases throughout the world that we don’t need. And I would work diligently to get a Constitutional Amendment to overthrow that Supreme Court thing that said corporations are the same as individuals, and that money is free speech? The only way to stop that is to amend the Constitution now.”

Do you think Jesse Ventura would make a good president? Would you cast your vote for the Ventura/Stern ticket?

Howard Stern isn’t going to stop making fun of Jay Leno even if it means losing his job on America’s Got Talent.

Stern was apparently threatened by NBC after he ripped into Jay Leno last week. But Stern brushed it off saying that he’d rather lose his job than go easy on Leno.

Stern said:

“Yeah, I did hear from (NBC) actually. I got sort of a threatening kind of comment from one of the executives.”

After news broke last week that the Tonight Show was making cuts, Stern went on air and said that he didn’t buy the story that Leno had taken a pay cut to save some jobs on the show. Stern said:

“It’s all horse sh*t. It’s bullsh*t. It’s a smokescreen … Here’s what it really means, and you can take this to the bank: Jay Leno is a scumbag. That’s what that means. He’s a spineless maggot. Jay wanted to cut staff. He’s embarrassed to do it. He didn’t want to come off as a bad guy. NBC took the hit for him, because they’re a corporation … My bullsh*t meter is going off all over the place.”

Stern made it clear that he doesn’t like Leno but said that he would have put the issue to bed if he hadn’t received a threatening message from NBC.

Stern said:

“Do not tell me not to talk about Jay Leno, I will talk about Jay Leno for four f***ing hours if you tell me not to. I was done with Jay Leno, now I’m all fired up again. F***k Jay. Take my job away from me. Who cares? I love my job on AGT. I love working for the people at NBC. They’ve been nothing but wonderful. But please don’t tell me what to say … I’d rather leave the job than not talk about Jay Leno.”

Here’s the audio from Stern’s show. (The segment starts around the 1:30 mark. NSFW for language.)

It’s nearly impossible to go on the Howard Stern Show and not talk about sex. So it was no surprise when Amy Schumer, a comic known for making dirty jokes on various Comedy Central Roasts, and the shock jock started talking about Schumer’s relationship with WWE star Dolph Ziggler.

Schumer said that she really liked Dolph but decided to break things off after a few rough sessions in bed. Apparently, Ziggler has a hard time stepping away from his wrestling persona and was throwing Schumer around the bed like they were in the ring. Schumer claims that she broke things off because the sex was “too athletic” for her.

What did Ziggler do exactly? Did he try to put Schumer in his signature sleeper hold? Did he show up to bed with his tag team partner Jack Swagger?

Schumer, who recently roasted Roseanne Barr, has become a regular on Comedy Central Roasts. Her most memorable performance probably came during the roast of Charlie Sheen. Why? Well, because Schumer made a joke about Steve-O and his deceased friend Ryan Dunn.

Here’s the video of Amy Schumer and Howard Stern talking about the Steve-O joke.

And, in case you forgot, here’s the joke.

Are you a fan of Amy Schumer?

If you are, you should be happy to know that she’s currently working on her own show for Comedy Central. The untitled project was described by the International Business Times as a mix between Chapelle’s Show and Louie.

America’s Got Talent judge Sharon Osbourne is quitting the show – at least, if her Twitter feed is to be believed.

Newbie AGT judge Howard Stern hinted via his Twitter account that he would be leaving the show after the season wraps, also hinting that Osbourne is on the outs as well, reports Hollywood Life. “@HowardStern isn’t sure if he’ll do another season and says Sharon Osbourne may not come back unless she gets more money,” read the tweet from Stern’s radio show’s official account. Osbourne apparently didn’t take too kindly to Stern’s tweet, replying that she wasn’t leaving because of money. “My darling @howardstern, money is not the reason I’m not returning to @nbcagt, it’s because …” and that’s where it cuts off, reports TMZ.

“Wait, what?” said the entirety of the celebrity media machine.

Literally no one knows whether or not this series of tweets is to be taken seriously, especially since there haven’t been any rumors that Stern and Osbourne were considering leaving AGT in the first place. However, the third AGT judge, Howie Mandel, has hinted that this season may be his last, reports the Winnipeg Free Press. He was asked to come back, but played coy on whether or not he’ll be playing judge for another season. “I said, you know, let me just see what it’s like to do the radio show and ‘AGT’ at the same time. So, I’ll be finding that out this week. I really like doing the show though. I really like being a part of it,” Mandel said.

My darling @HowardStern, money is not the reason I’m not returning to @nbcagt, it’s because…

Russell Brand and Katy Perry were always a bit of an odd couple, as the hard-partying star and the singer from a conservative Christian background that appeared at initial glance, an unlikely match.

But Brand and Perry did match, and as you probably recall, later married. Both seemed to be genuinely in love with the other, and it almost appeared for a while that Katy Perry curbed Russell Brand’s wild ways after his years of openly using drugs and struggling with a reported sex addiction.

Eventually, though, the marriage between Russell Brand and Katy Perry collapsed. No one knows what ultimately led to their parting, but both have been respectful of the other in public and the media since they announced their decision to split.

(Although Perry’s song “Part of Me” is rumored to be about her divorce from Brand.) Russell appeared on Howard Stern’s show recently, and the forward DJ queried him about his split from the pop singer, his sex life during the marriage and his experiences with other women since he and Perry broke up.

When asked by Stern if sex with Perry was “freaky” enough for the openminded comic, Brand didn’t give a straight reply to the question, joking:

“She was very willing to do wheelchair porn… That woman spent ninety percent of our marriage in a little electric wheel chair.”

But Brand, who has seemed to open up overall lately in discussing his split from Perry, did reflect on his sexual strategy going forward, saying:

“I don’t want porn anymore… There is no market for it in my life. I’ve got no kind of weird predilections especially.”

Keyword: “especially.” Russell Brand did hint at a wild time after he became a free man once more, saying of subsequent singledom:

“…if you’ve been on a diet of rice for awhile and then suddenly Willy Wonka said, ‘I need you to run my chocolate factory.’… I think, for awhile, you’d be kicking over barrels of candy and swimming about in the chocolate river. That’s not a euphemism!”

Brand, who has been linked with Isabella Brewster in recent months, denied that a feud between the comic and Katy Perry’s parents led to the split.

It’s a sad day for Howard Stern. The American Idol host and his family lost their beloved 10-year-old bulldog Bianca.

Howard tweeted the news on Tuesday night before the live episode of America’s Got Talent.

According to People Magazine, the Stern’s had a very close relationship with their dog. Howard had Bianca’s name tattooed on his arm and his wife, Beth Ostrosky Stern, posed with Bianca on the cover of her book, Oh My Dog. Bianca was also a member of the wedding party at Stern’s 2008 wedding.

Stern wrote:

“Tough day today my friends. Thanks to all for all the kind messages. Give your dog a hug for me tonight.”

Beth also sent out a message about their dog. Ostrosky Stern wrote:

“We lost our precious Bianca today. My sweet little girl, may you rest in peace. I love you forever….All of your kind words are helping me through the saddest day of my life. thank you.”

Animal Tracks reports that Stern has been involved with several animal rights campaigns and Ostrosky Stern became the official spokesperson of the North Shore Animal League America (NSALA), an organization devoted to rehabilitation of rescue animals. The Sterns, who adopted Bianca in 2002, have also adopted three cats, Apple, Walter and Leon Bear, from the NSALA.

Howard Stern’s presence on the show America’s Got Talent was cause for handwringing among fans of the show as well as America’s moral crusaders, as it is fair to say that the outspoken talk show host’s reputation precedes him to a very large degree.

To wit, those unfamiliar with the Howard Stern show might expect the radio shock-jock to bring some of his characteristic raunch to a prime-time reality talent competition, not realizing that Stern is actually quite a serious and reflective fan of such competitions.

Howard Stern, as regular listeners will tell you, approached analysis of the whole TV talent show genre very seriously, and many considered him somewhat of a connoisseur of the format — Stern regularly did detailed takedowns of the previous night’s performances even before he was offered the America’s Got Talent gig.

So when Howard Stern made his debut on the show, it was not without some apprehension on the part of many with a stake in the show’s continued success — and indeed, while Stern was still his normal straightforward self (even making a pint-sized rapper cry, and getting visibly upset by it) he has also, by and large been on his best behavior.

In fact, during a recent episode, he took co-judge Howie Mandel to task for screwing with the spirit of the competition. The tension between Howie Mandel and Howard Stern was over the former’s support of a contestant known as Big Barry, and Stern thought all along that the hopeful didn’t have a shot at winning.

Mandel ultimately told the singer:

“Barry, I’m going to be totally honest with you. You’re not a good singer. But you’re an amazing character, and you’ve got this God-given stature and sound. I think you’re an incredible novelty act that people would come and see and pay for.”

Howard Stern found Mandel’s grandstanding to not only be high-handed, but he seemed to think it messed with the integrity of the judging process. He huffed at Mandel:

“You know, the Howie filibuster is getting annoying to me actually… I gotta tell you, Big Barry, this isn’t about you. This is about Howie and how he treats the show and the apology you owe to Flo Jo’s daughter, to Andrew DeLeon, to all the people that could have gotten through instead of Big Barry.”

Stern continued:

“You ruined their chances… There was nothing funny about [voting for a novelty act.] And there was a ton of people who had more talent than Big Barry… Howie owes all of those performers who could have had a shot on this stage [an apology]. Big Barry, no offense to you, but you’re not fun, you’re not funny and you’re not talented. It was a big waste of time. Stop the nonsense… Really, it’s offensive.”

No one get distracted by the fact Howard Stern called someone else offensive. Nick Cannon and Sharon Osbourne then intervened in the catfight, with Osbourne exhorting the “girls” to calm down. Did you agree with Howard Stern’s complaint about Howie Mandel?

Andrew De Leon’s performance last night on “America’s Got Talent” was… unexpected.

De Leon, whose Marilyn Manson-esque outfit drew a ‘what’s up Chris Angel’ remark from Nick Cannon, blew the judges away with a perfect opera piece.

De Leon said:

“Growing up, I was alienated because I was never interested in athletics or what everybody else in my family was interested in… Singing was always an escape. It was always a comfort zone.”

De Leon also told the judges that last night’s performance was the first time he’s ever sang in front of a crowd. Before last night, he had never sung in front of his parents or anyone else.

After the crowd gave De Leon a standing ovation, the surprised singer said:

“I’m just so used to being rejected, and I’m not really good at anything, so this is amazing,”

Stern, who poked fun at De Leon before he started singing, was bewildered by De Leon’s performance. Stern said:

“You’ve never performed in front of a big crowd like this? You must have had voice lessons? You what, practice in your room? You absolutely blew the roof off of this place.”

Osbourne and Mandel were equally impressed with De Leon’s performance.

Here’s the video of Andrew De Leon singing on “America’s Got Talent.”

This is the second inspiring and surprising performance on “America’s Got Talent” this week. Earlier this week, Timothy Michael Poe, an Afghanistan war veteran that developed a stutter after a head injury during the way, earned his own standing ovation with a Garth Brooks song.

Wow, Howard Stern, you really are a softie.

After all his hard talk about giving it to contestants straight on America’s Got Talent, expounding his love for the fiercely competitive talent contest type show he so famously tended to recap on his radio program, it seems Howard Stern really does have a very soft side.

It’s not a surprise to regular Howard Stern listeners that he can be surprisingly… tender about certain topics, even if he is plain-spoken and seemingly cruel on others. The “shock jock” even basically did a whole movie called Private Parts (based on the book of the same name) back in the 90′s about how sensitive he is in contrast with his often offensive radio persona.

But when Stern made a kid cry on America’s Got Talent, he was visibly tormented by the circumstance and immediately hopped up to comfort the child. The young contestant in question was 7-year-old rapper Mir Money, and Stern was first to smack the buzzer on the kiddo, followed by Sharon Osbourne.

But as the boy realized Stern had voted him down, he began to cry. And Stern then hopped up and immediately hugged and began to comfort the boy, saying:

“Let me fix everything. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. Mir Money, you’re a terrific kid, you know that? You are so brave… I’m going to be honest with you. I don’t want to make you cry.”

Mir Money was carted off by Nick Cannon, and Stern said of making the kid cry:

“This job is too rough for me. I don’t really wanna do it anymore… I’m not cut out for this, man. I’m not cut out for it. I’m shaking man, I’m shaking. I can’t do it, man. I can’t do it.”

Although Stern made the kid cry, he has no plans to leave AGT.

Howard Stern Makes Kid Cry on ‘America’s Got Talent,’ Nearly Cries Himself is a post from: The Inquisitr

Howard Stern is doing his best to be a friendly but honest judge on “America’s Got Talent,” but it’s proving to be harder than he thought. Last night, Stern made a kid cry.

Seven-year-old rapper Mir Money took the stage with the hopes of wowing the judges with his word play. But shortly after he started his song Howard Stern gave him “X” of rejection. Sharron Osborne soon followed and the music came to a halt.

Mir Money tried to hold it together on stage but he broke down crying in the middle of Stern’s comments.

Stern said:

“First of all, you’re a very nice young man. No one likes hitting the X on a 7-year-old. You’re very brave to get up there at 7-years-old.”

Stern wasn’t mean, and once Mir Money started crying on stage he walked up to console the little boy. Stern said:

“I’m so sorry. You’re a terrific young man. You’re so brave to get up here.”

The incident seemed to shake Stern up a little bit. The radio DJ returned to his seat and said: “I can’t do it. This is too rough for me.”

Stern eventually changed his vote but Sharron Osbourne and Howie Mandell insisted that they couldn’t let him go on to the next round just because he was cute.

Here’s the clip from “America’s Got Talent.”

Concerns regarding Howard Stern‘s behavior as host on the family-friendly show America’s Got Talent are now being swatted down by none other than the vulgar radio shock-jock’s own wife, Beth Stern. The wife of the “King of All Media” insists that her husband has cleaned up his act, and is now “kid-friendly”, reports TMZ.

Beth Stern flew into Los Angeles yesterday to promote her new show on HGTV called Mom Caves, and was asked by TMZ about the fierce backlash Howard Stern has been getting from the powerful TV watchdog outfit, the Parents Television Council. Stern’s wife immediately and confidently reassured TMZ that her hubby would be playing by the rules, saying “Once they obviously start watching, they’re going to see they have nothing to worry about … I think it’s kid-friendly.”

She added, “He’s compassionate … yet he’s a very good judge.”

Stern has himself insisted on his credibility as a judge for America’s Got Talent, saying at a press junket, “This really fit what I built a career on,” continuing, “We’ve had people come on the radio show for years that are talented or really odd. We’ve taken weirdos and made them stars.”

Despite this, the Parent’s Television Council has made it clear that they will be keeping a very close eye on Stern. “Trusting him to do the right thing is like trusting North Korea to do the right thing,” said President Tim Winters.

Them’s fightin’ words, prompting Stern to respond, “Some guy sitting in his basement calling himself Parent Television Council, I don’t think there’s more than 25 people in this thing. I think it’s a money raising thing. They’re entitled to their opinion but they just seem awfully foolish. I invite them to see the show Monday night and see what kind of judge I am. This is a family show. It’s a different form of entertainment.”

In any case, we won’t really know until Howard Stern gets going. Will you be watching him on America’s Got Talent?

If the selection of Howard Stern as a judge for America’s Got Talent was meant to drum up publicity due to his controversial reputation, NBC has totally succeeded on that front.

It seems that entertainment news has been heavy on Howard Stern mentions since the shock jock made his first appearance as a judge on the competition, and predictably, censorship groups have taken a particular interest in the network’s selection of Stern as a host. In a letter sent to 91 advertisers, the Parents’ Television Council said of Howard Stern’s suitability for the America’s Got Talent gig:

“[T]o our knowledge his only previous judging experience consisted of looking at insecure, naked young women and telling them whether or not they were hot enough to pose for Playboy.”

However, Howard Stern fans are well aware of the DJ’s appreciation for and in-depth analysis of show’s like America’s Got Talent, and in the wake of the criticism, Stern has been addressing his critics in multiple interviews and press conferences about his intent for the show. Stern underscores his own genuine appreciation for the genre, and says:

“I really feel a responsibility to the people who love this show already… In no way do I want to get in the way of it. I want to broaden it and make it better.”

To critics that Stern says “just sound awfully foolish when they haven’t seen the show,” the radio host explains that he accepted the gig solely as a labor of love. He says:

“I didn’t need the money… I didn’t need more fame. I certainly feel famous enough. I’m comfortable in my life. I just love the show and thought how much fun it would be to do it.”

America’s Got Talent execs have said they believe Stern is the closest alternative to Simon Cowell, whose straightforward and unvarnished assessments shaped the genre.

Howard Stern’s turn as a judge on America’s Got Talent has drawn the ire of the Parents Television Council but that hasn’t stopped pizza chain Pizza Hut from airing its family friendly advertisements on the popular TV series.

The Parents Television Council has been urging advertisers to pull out of the show while threatening boycotts. Pizza Hut however had agreed to keep its commercials in place, releasing the following statement:

“Pizza Hut strives to maintain the highest standards of quality and excellence in our communications to the public. Our advertisements are no exception, and are designed to draw attention to our products and appeal to a broad audience.”

The company’s rep continues:

“Unfortunately, we may not always success in generating a positive impact on every guest, and we apologize if our methods offend some.”

It is likely that many advertisers for the show were well aware of the blow back that would occur when Howard Stern was announced as the shows newest judge and therefore prepared for the moment when they would come under attack by outside groups attempting to quell Howard Stern’s voice on the show.

In the meantime Howard Stern is just rolling with the punches and seems indifferent to this newest round of media hype, telling NorthJersey.com:

“Somebody wrote that I wanted to do TV because I’d fallen out of the public consciousness. That’s so ridiculous. I went to satellite to get away from people.”

What might be most crazy about Stern taking over for Piers Morgan is the simple fact that Parents Television Council has no idea how he’ll act on the show. Sure Stern is not the most pleasant host on talk radio but he also conducts himself behind the “closed doors” of subscriber based satellite radio, for all we know Stern’s personality on America’s Got Talent could be more along the lines of a cranky Simon Cowell type than a shock jock looking to offend the shows viewers with potty mouth humor.

Radio “shock jock” Howard Stern is bringing his schtick to primetime on America’s Got Talent, and unpredictably, censorship groups are not pleased that the morning drive funnyman is sullying the airwaves with his plain-spoken and sometimes offensive brand of humor.

Howard Stern is, for all intents and purposes, notable because he is offensive- that is to say, you don’t really expose yourself to Stern’s show without knowing that chances are in a few minutes of listening, someone, somewhere will be offended. Stern’s move from terrestrial to satellite radio a few years back only freed up the broadcast pioneer’s ability to offend liberally, and many people just find the fact that Howard Stern exists to be offensive.

(As a fellow Long Islander, while I don’t always agree with Stern, I happen to find him entertaining, so nyeh.) This morning, Stern appeared on TODAY, joking about his new gig on the decidedly vanilla America’s Got Talent, and said:

“What a crazy idea, to put me on a family show- someone on NBC should be fired for that.”

But perhaps the true shock in all the hubbub over Howard Stern’s America’s Got Talent judging gig is- to those who haven’t witnessed Stern’s not-infrequent moments of sincerity- that the DJ respects the show and takes his role quite seriously:

“I’m not going on the show to disrupt the beauty of America’s Got Talent- cause I love the show… I merely wanted to go on and be a very serious judge. And what we found as we traveled all over the country that it turns out, I’m the judge that everyone agrees with.”

But while Stern is respectful of the competition and plans to offer his best judging capabilities, he also confirms that he doesn’t plan to be nicey-nice all the time. After relaying an anecdote about how he felt “horrible inside” after disappointing a 7-year-old contestant, Stern says that sometimes painful critique is part of the job. The DJ explains that as a judge, “you owe it to the contestants to offer criticism.”

Howard Stern Jokes Someone Should Get Fired For Hiring Him on ‘America’s Got Talent’ is a post from: The Inquisitr

Howie Mandel said that we’d see a softer side of Howard Stern on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, and others have chimed in saying we should expect to see a softer side of the radio shock jock as the show returns for its 7th season in May.

At NBC’s Summer Press Day in Pasadena on Wednesday, Mandel and co-host Sharon Osbourne said that they were surprised by the controversial radio host’s softer side, and expected the audience to see the same when the new season premieres. “I was fascinated with how polarizing the reactions have been [to Stern's hire],” said Mandel.

“He is so passionate about finding a star, about the show, that I think America will see a side of Howard they haven’t seen before,” Mandel continued. “Yes, he’s edgy and honest, but he’s a very bright, smart man. Nobody gets to that height without knowing what they’re doing. He’s also compassionate, emotional, serious and has good constructive criticism. He’s a good judge.”

Stern is a longtime fan of the series, and would often talk about contestants on his radio show. He is being brought in as a judge to replace Piers Morgan.

Mandel recalled an anecdote showcasing Stern’s compassion. Stern judged a 7-year-old aspiring rapper. “The kid didn’t have talent beyond being adorable,” Mandel recalled. “Howard, being who he is, [quickly] hit his buzzer. The reaction to this was heartbreaking. [The child] heaved and collapsed in tears. Howard turned to me, like, ‘Oh my god, this is not what I signed up for.’ Howard got right up, and got right up on stage, and he held the child and consoled him, saying ‘I’m so sorry.’”

“Everyone thinks he’s going to come in really outrageous,” added Sharon Osbourne. “He comes to us with great experience, especially about music.”

“You’re seeing him do good judging, but at the same time he’s a father, human being, a son,” Mandel continued.

Host Nick Cannon also reassured reporters that he was in good health and looking forward to the new season. “My health is 100 percent,” he said. “[The show] never feels like work; I love doing this.”

Howard Stern’s Softer Side To Be Seen On America’s Got Talent is a post from: The Inquisitr

When he isn’t busy fighting his battles in court, Howard Stern is airing them out on his Sirius XM radio show. Stern laid into producer/director Judd Apatow, the man behind Freaks & Geeks, Funny People, and Knocked Up, after Apatow tweeted at Howard Stern over his dissatisfaction with the content in Stern’s talk show.

In the tweet Judd said, “I hate to say it but I don’t have much interest in discussions about america’s got talent. I tried. It is just too much synergy. @sternshow”

Instead of firing back on twitter, Howard Stern laid into Judd Apatow on the same radio show that the filmmaker complained about, saying, “I don’t call him out on every artistic decision he makes.. If you’re not down with it, get the fuck off my channel. No need to whack me from the side of the head.”

Of course, that wasn’t enough for the radio shock jock and Stern continued on making his own criticisms of Apatow’s work, taking the discussion to the next level to criticize his films, specifically on the 2009 comedy Funny People “The worst film ever. The worst movie ever made. Talk about going on and on. I’ll take advice from someone who didn’t go on and on in their movie.”

Howard Stern then drove it home and got personal with Judd Apatow during this segment on his talk show by bringing up his wife, actress Leslie Mann, and her involvement in all of her husband’s productions, “I don’t put my wife in every project I do either. ”

If it wasn’t obvious how upset Stern was by Judd’s comments Howard let his listeners know by going on saying, “What kind of bro are you d—-wad? F–k off and you’re not my friend—scumbag,” said Stern. “That kind of ticked me off. I talk about what’s going on in my life.”

If you think the pair are going to have a celebrity death match on twitter, think again. Howard Stern’s official twitter page has cited that the feud is over after Apatow tweeted, responding to Howard Stern’s lament, “I will love the show always. It was a pretty mild tweet.”

Do you think Howard Stern was too rough on Judd Apatow? Was Apatow too critical of Stern’s talk show? Sound off here!

A New York judge has decided to end the lawsuit between Howard Stern and employer Sirius Radio over “ambiguous language” in their contractual agreement.

Stern, who happens to be a judge on America’s Got Talent, filed the suit after claiming that Sirius was in breach of their contract. The contract that was drawn up entitled his company, One-Level to receive profits based on paid performance which would be calculated by the rise in subscribers. According to the deal Stern had the potential to receive five separate stocks at $75 million each if subscribers were met. In addition if XM radio and Sirius radio were to merge, Howard Stern was to earn an additional $25 million.

According to Stern, he met the figures on subscribers and exceeded, which he claims Sirius underestimated how many subscribers he could pull in and the payout to match. However, both parties agreed that the station did their part in 2006 when Howard Stern exceeded Sirius’ subscriber target by paying a handsome $75 million to Stern’s company, as well as his manager receiving $7.5 million.

However, the next bonus cycle raised red flags for Stern in 2008 when there was question whether or not XM subscribers should be tallied in Howard Stern’s bonus when the two companies merged. If XM subscribers were indeed counted, which they weren’t, Stern would have earned $300 million in addition to his regular compensation from Sirius.

When Judge Barbara Kapnick dismissed the case for its “ambiguous language” she had this to say about the suit:

At the time the parties entered into the Agreement, it is clear that the only subscribers that the parties considered part of the ‘total number of Sirius subscribers’ for purposes of calculating ‘Performance Based Stock Compensation’ were those individuals who subscribed to the Sirius radio system.

As for the issue regarding Stern’s payout with the merge of XM radio and Sirius radio, Kapnick had this to say:

Most importantly, to the extent the parties contemplated the relevance of new subscribers acquired by merger at all, they provided for their consideration under an entirely separate section entitled ‘XM Merger.’ To find in plaintiffs’ favor, then, would require this Court to ignore this explicitly distinct treatment of subscribers acquired by merger.

Howard Stern’s claims were dismissed on the account that they were prejudice.

Former model Elle MacPherson gave quite a bizarre interview on Howard Stern’s Sirius talk show, and actually managed to offend the shock jock turned America’s Got Talent judge.

Of course the chat got racy, which is nothing out of the ordinary for Howard Stern, and then it spiraled into weird territory after Stern asked MacPherson about her nude photos that hang in her home. Stern questioned the model further in his candid nature, “Do your children get upset by that? It’s probably upsetting that his mother’s ass is in the bedroom, and if the kids bring over friend.”

MacPherson curtly stated, “No, I just think you’re being absolutely Jewish.” Stern, who sounded more bewildered than anything else asked, “Why is that Jewish? I’ve had this discussion with people who aren’t Jewish.”

Elle then covered up quickly and joked that Howard was acting like a stereotypical Jewish mother. “Because you’re being overprotective. You sound like a nagging mother, ‘Eleanor, should you have that picture in your room?’ My children are very well-balanced.” Stern of course took this all in stride and quipped back, “I once saw my mother come out of the shower, it traumatized me.” Which got an even more awkward reply from MacPherson,”I can imagine, if she looks like you. Sorry, that just slipped out!”

What do you think? Was Elle MacPherson out of line?

Howard Stern recently sat down in the judges chair on “America’s Got Talent” but he hasn’t been as mean as you might think. Stern has been pretty well behaved on the talent show, which has been surprising even for him.

Reality TV Magazine reports that stern saw his first round of contestants recently and the infamous talk show host found himself being more compassionate than he expected.

Stern said:

“There were times when I was downright compassionate. It was really unsettling…”

Stern says that he has a knack for guiding people without talent in the right direction. Stern added:

“I’ve taken more no-talents and made them talents. There is a way to sculpt people, to mentor people, and a way to find something that would tap into the national psyche.”

The shock jock may be trying to help those talentless souls on America’s Got Talent, but he knows that sometimes he has to buzz them out. Stern said that he felt like the devil when he had to buzz out a 9-year-old girl. Stern said:

“I buzzed a nine-year-old kid. The kid was adorable, but I did it, man, you got to do it. I said, ‘Look, you’re cute, you’re adorable, but goodness gracious, you don’t belong on America’s Got Talent,’ and you just feel like the devil himself.”

NBC is reportedly paying Stern about $15 million per season so hopefully the money comfort Stern when he feels like the devil.

Christina Aguilera’s weight gain has been defended by her friend and fellow Voice judge Adam Levine. The Maroon 5 frontman was appearing on shock jock Howard Stern’s show earlier this week, when Stern – now an America’s Got Talent judge – asked:

“Why do you think [Christina]’s got so heavy, is she upset? She used to be so f**king hot! And her clothes are too tight, am I right?”

Levine wouldn’t be lured in though, and gallantly set about defending Aguilera’s right to carry some extra pounds:

“Her clothes are tight, she likes to wear tight clothes. She clearly likes to talk about being comfortable with being a woman, and snapping her fingers and doing the whole [diva] thing.”

New-age guy Howard wasn’t done, however, arguing that “When you’re a plus-sized woman, you can’t wear the tight clothes anymore.” Levine was just as rapid with his reply to that, stating, “I wouldn’t go that far actually.”

Aguilera’s rising weight has been seized upon by all corners of the media, with a notable undercurrent of sniggering taking place. Yet the Grammy-winning songstress says she is content with her weight. In a recent interview, she addressed the subject defiantly, saying:

“As long as I’m happy in my own skin, that’s all I need. I’m happy with where I’m at. I have a boyfriend that loves my body. I love my body.”

Was Howard Stern out of line asking such questions? Would he have posed the same query about, say, Seth Rogen? Or was Howard Stern just being Howard Stern?

Howard Stern has been rumored as a judge for many of televisions top contestant driven reality TV shows and on Thursday yet another rumor sprung from the ashes. According to the Wall Street Journal the king of shock jock radio may soon be a judge on the hit talent series America’s Got Talent.

While Stern has left lucrative judging paydays on the table in the past the newspaper says NBC officials are very serious about hiring the shock jock and have even discussed moving America’s Got Talent from Los Angeles to New York just so Stern will come on-board.

If Stern accepts the offer he will reportedly be paid $15 million a year for his time spent on the show, money he will earn on top of his multi-million dollar Sirius XM paychecks.

If the rumor is true insiders say Stern would replace Piers Morgan who announced this week that he would be leaving the show to focus his efforts on his fledgling CNN program which he took over after Larry King retired.

At this time news of the Howard Stern judging choice is just a rumor and there’s no guarantee that he will accept the gig.

I understand that Stern has made more than half a billion dollars during his radio career but honestly why wouldn’t he take $15 million just to walk down the street from his apartment and host a show where he sits around and criticizes people like he already does so well.

Would you be willing to watch a Howard Stern judged America’s Got Talent?

Have you ever been in an accident? Robin Quivers, sidekick to Howard Stern was this weekend and unlike most of us who would just exchange insurance info or write down the other drivers license plate number and be on our way, she’s claims that she was “almost killed.”

According to Quivers she was the victim of a hit-and-run accident over the weekend near her home in New Jersey. She told Stern during an airing of their show:

“I was in a car accident,” while adding, “This guy came out of a parking lot or some kind of side street like a maniac and he lost control of his car and he hit me.”

Quivers went on to tell Stern that she was driving on New Jersey’s Route 9 when she tried to slow down but Crockett “spun around in a 360″ and then “backed up and drove off.”

For all the fuss about the incident, police in Barnaget Township, New Jersey found and ticketed Robert Crockett, 50, for slamming into her car on Sunday, while citing him for leaving the scene of an accident and charging him with reckless driving, failure to report an accident and operating an unregistered vehicle.

In the meantime based on Robin Quivers’ idea of “almost dying” I have nearly been killed on 5 occasions in my life, thankfully never when I was the driver, however I typically just told people “someone hit our car today” which seems a lot less dramatic but also probably wouldn’t play as well on a shock jock’s radio show. Don’t let Quivers fool you, she had plenty of time to carefully choose the words she used in her story. Regardless of how serious the situation may have actually been I’m glad she’s okay, I like Robin.

Earlier this week, our own James Johnson mulled whether Jesse James could have possibly handled the Sandra Bullock situation in a douchier way.

James appeared on Howard Stern and, in a quite ungentlemanly fashion, opined that reality show star Kat Von D outstripped Bullock in the sack. Crass, you may say, of James to further embarrass his Oscar-winning ex. But James wasn’t done spilling, going on CNN’s show with Piers Morgan to attempt to redeem his character in a most irredeemable way.

James told Morgan he should have walked out on Bullock before tomcatting around, instead of letting her walk out on his sorry ass:

“I should have did the honorable thing,” Jesse James tells CNN’s Piers Morgan. “I should have left her, you know? If I wanted to screw around, I should have, you know, ended it…”

“I’m 100% to blame,” continues James. “I take full accountability for my actions, you know? No one was holding a gun to my head to do what I did.”

However, reading the piece on CNN, it doesn’t seem James genuinely thinks he did anything wrong or disrespectful, and he adds that he and Bullock were “never friends.” He admits the pair no longer speak, which seems entirely reasonable on Bullock’s part under the circumstances.

So Jesse James- big douchecanoe, or the biggest douchecanoe?

Jesse James couldn’t be more of a scumbag if he tried. With the cheating of Sandra Bullock behind him he headed over to The Howard Stern Show this week and talked about their sex life compared to Kat Von D.

The three time divorced (no surprise there) father of three was asked to compare Kat Von D to Sandra Bullock in bed to which he responded:

“Kat Von D. One hundred percent,” while adding, “She’s a vixen. If she cheated on me, I would forgive her and still love her.”

Wait, doesn’t that mean since Sandra Bullock wouldn’t forgive him for cheating that he’s the world’s worst lover…I think so.

In 1981 a young Howard Stern met Robin Quivers in Washington D.C. and now 30 years later his longtime sidekick may be exiting the show that helped make her a household name.

Quivers told RadarOnline.com:

“I love to do radio and television and I’ve always wanted my own television show, so I’ve been putting out feelers for those kinds of things,” while adding, “(I could) express myself in ways that I don’t necessarily get to express myself on our show.”

“It will be like a talk show, but with subjects that I’d be interested in. I think I have some interesting things to say and I don’t think anybody out there is saying them,” she added.

Wow, Howard Stern without Quivers probably wouldn’t change much but it would leave a weird emptiness on the show.

Howard Stern announced on his show this morning that he has signed on to do an additional five years at Sirius XM radio, although the terms of his latest contract might not be as favorable as his original $500 million deal.

Stern didn’t go into cash money specifics about the deal on the air or on his website, only saying the terms of the renewed contract were “very fair.” Sirius XM’s CFO David Frear insinuated recently that high compensation packages like Stern’s would be up for re-negotiation soon, saying:

“At the time of the merger, we were in many long-term contracts… As they come up for renewal, we’ll have the opportunity to get more favorable economic terms there.”

Of the newly negotiated deal, Stern said:

“I have come to the conclusion that the real innovators, the real geniuses are the people here at Sirius,” he said. “I have signed a five-year contract to stay at Sirius.”

He also told listeners that he could say with “almost certainty” that he would not remain on the radio after his new contract expires.

Rapper Jay-Z has spoken out in defense of his much maligned friend Kanye West on the subject of both his outburst at a telethon to raise money for victims of Hurricane Katrina as well as his stunt interrupting Taylor’s Swift’s award acceptance to complain that Beyonce hadn’t won for her “Single Ladies” video.

Hova could have shown support for his boy a bit earlier, but he still spoke up in his characteristic, far-less-hyperbolic than Kanye manner on both issues this morning on Howard Stern’s radio show. In reference to Kanye’s “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” statement, Jay-Z says:

“It was bad timing, but it was absolutely an honest emotion. We all felt like that. We didn’t feel like Katrina was a natural disaster. We felt like it as an attack on black people. All you saw was black people on the roof with HELP signs. … White people felt like that.”

On the topic of Kanye’s behavior at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009, Jay said:

“It’s bittersweet in a lot of ways,” he said about West’s interruption of Swift’s acceptance speech. “If we look back, everyone would agree that he was right. It was bad timing. It was not her fault. It’s not Taylor Swift’s fault. She didn’t nominate … she didn’t elect herself. She just sat there and she had a dream and she’s seeing that dream being realized, and he had the same dream, so he realizes that now. He was fighting for the integrity of the award, and he knows how hard he works on his videos. It was bad timing, but we agreed.”

Bush has said recently that Kanye’s dis was “one of the worst moments of his presidency.

The tragic story of child star Dana Plato has an even sadder addendum- her 25-year-old son Tyler Lambert has committed suicide.

Lambert’s death came almost eleven years to the day on which his mother took her life after years of hardship following her run on 80′s sitcom Diff’rent Strokes. Plato played the character of Kimberly Drummond, but failed to maintain the same level of success when the show ended. She appeared in an X-rated movie (Different Strokes: The Story of Jack and Jill…and Jill) had run-ins with the law for a robbery and drug related incidents, and served thirty days in jail.

On May 7th of 1996, Plato appeared on Howard Stern’s radio show, attracting a large amount of verbal abuse from callers. The next day, during a trip in the RV she lived in with her boyfriend, Plato was found dead in what was ultimately ruled to be a suicide. Sources say that Tyler Lambert never truly recovered from the trauma of his mother’s death:

The National Enquirer reports that Tyler was so obsessed by his mother that he recently honored her by getting teardrop tattoos on his face with her ashes added to the ink. He also had a tattoo on his forearm with his mother’s name…

His grandmother told the National Enquirer “Tyler wanted to be with his mother.”

Lambert died on May 6th, reportedly of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

In a shocking turn of events, Howard Stern has said something sort of racist, undeniably misogynistic and totally dick.

Stern, not known for his charitable feelings toward the fairer sex, blasted the praise heaped upon breakout actress Gabourey Sidibe on his show yesterday. For lack of a better term, Stern seems to think that Sidibe is a bit of a one trick pony, and won’t work again due to being “the size of a planet” and, ostensibly, “black.” (Someone should tell this year’s fat black Oscar winner Mo’Nique that fat black women don’t have futures in entertainment because she’s probably under the opposite impression, having won an Academy Award and all.)

Stern railed:

“There’s the most enormous, fat black chick I’ve ever seen. She is enormous. Everyone’s pretending she’s a part of show business and she’s never going to be in another movie,” he said. “She should have gotten the Best Actress award because she’s never going to have another shot. What movie is she gonna be in?”

Well, Howard, considering there are women in our society who are fat, black or both, perhaps she could portray one on the stage or screen? Yes, Sidibe doesn’t have the marketability of say, Jessica Alba, but “never going to have another shot” is a bit dramatic, isn’t it? Howard wasn’t the only Sidibe detractor though- formerly fat, still black Robin Quivers seemed to agree with Stern:

“And Oprah’s lying and saying you’re going to have a brilliant career,” said Robin.

“Oprah’s another liar, a filthy liar,” said Stern. “She’s telling an enormous woman the size of a planet that she’s going to have a career.”

Indeed! Where would Oprah get the preposterous notion that a black woman of size could ever become successful? That’s like saying a fat black lady could become the richest woman in our society, wield enormous influence over American women and cause books to sell out like they have crack cocaine embedded in the pages. Silly Oprah. What redonkulous claim will she make next, that a fat black woman could get a job as a sidekick to a cranky, misogynistic, plastic obsessed radio host with a giant ego? People are so delusional.

Unemployable Gabby is set to appear in “Yelling to the Sky” and a new Showtime series, “The C Word.”

Howard Stern had some classic Howard Stern moments on Letterman last night in a lengthy interview.

Stern touched on a number of hilarious topics- dissing the Eminem/Baron Cohen stunt, Conan O’Brien, and receptionists stealing your radio show in part one.

In part two, Stern and Letterman traded barbs about their respective weddings- Stern rips Letterman for depriving his wife of a celebrity wedding and for “living on a farm in Montana.”

For part three, viewable below, Stern and Letterman discuss keeping Richard Simmons happy and answer some viewer questions. Stern gives some “personal advice” on what makes a happy marriage and divulges his secret on his newlywed strategy, which includes seeing a psychiatrist three times a week.

Stern goes on to critique Rush Limbaugh and dishes on his calling in life- “extracting sexual information from people.”

“Robin is doing the news”

“Playing the Gossip Game”

“Howard is talking to his movie wife Mary McCormack”

As of now, Howard Stern’s Twitter account is not following any other Twitter profiles.

A woman named Alana Love is quickly making a name for herself as the pregnant prostitute at the infamous Bunny Ranch.

Alana Love — who, by her own accounts, is 20 years old and seven months pregnant — starting working at the Nevada “ranch” last week. She appeared on “The Howard Stern Show” Tuesday morning to discuss her decision.

The interview was decidedly Stern-like, with Howard commenting on how hot Love was and asking her to strip down. When asked how many men she had been intimate with, Love stated she’d only been with three men prior to her start at the Bunny Ranch. She also said her father was the mayor of her town growing up.

As for the child’s father, it appears he is not in the picture. Alana Love said he was only paying her $25 a month for child support. Stern, of course, didn’t leave it at that — he got the guy on the phone. The man claimed Love had been “sleeping with every guy she could find” and said he wouldn’t get any more involved until she had a DNA test.

Alana Love told Stern she plans to work at the Bunny Ranch through January. Her due date, oddly enough, is February 14.

We’ll let Ms. Love explain the rest for herself. The following is from her Scandalist.com diary, which promises weekly updates throughout her, uh, journey. You can also check out her profile at the Bunny Ranch here, which includes, dare we say, plenty more photos — although be advised that there is also plenty of NSFW content on the site.

Alana Love: Diary From The Bunny Ranch

Today was my first day at the ranch. I’ve always wanted to do this and when my baby comes, I think I will be able to give her a better life. I was really excited to start today. I know some people will be critical of my choice, but it’s my life. I am an adult. I’m not doing anything to harm my baby — and it’s legal.

I started my day by getting a tour of the ranch. After my tour, I went to my first lineup, where we girls line up and a customer comes in to choose one – or more haha – of us for a party . A nervous looking 27-year-old man came in and looked me up and down and picked me out of the line. I was more shocked than anything that I was picked. There are so many beautiful women. I took the man to a room with my beautiful friend Ashley and we had an amazing threesome. After the first hour, he kept rebooking and rebooking. He wanted another half an hour, then a half an hour in the hot tub. We had a great time.

So far I think this will be a pretty good life. I wonder all the time what my baby will look like and what she will want to do with her life. I’m not sure how I will feel if she wants to do this kind of work. Obviously if she is over 18, I won’t be able to second guess it. If she is under my own roof, I would have to second guess her. Either way, I am going to support her. If she did it right, it would be ok. I could definitely tell her about all the wrongs and rights! That’s all for now…
