Artie Lange Is Still On The Stern Show

So even though I have the day off today I had the alarm set for 5:53 just like usual so I could turn on the Sirius internet stream at 6am to see what happened with Artie and the Stern Show. The show is back from vacation and this morning we will find out if Artie is still with the show.

Much to my surprise Artie is in fact in the studio and will still be with the show. Howard teased the audience for a few minutes taking phone calls before announcing that Artie was in studio and still with the show.

Below are some snippets from the statement that Artie made at the top of the show:

"I'm sorry, very very very sorry. It's all my fault.... This week I have been overwhelmed by how nice people treated me....Ii got calls from everyone on the staff, I really feel as if I am part of a family....I apologize to the fans....I fucked up in a major way...The show is the most important thing in my life and is probably the only thing keeping me alive. Teddy is a good kid, he is not a thief or stealing money from me, it's just something I said in the moment...More emotion then I have ever felt in my life...From the time I hugged you and went down to the elevator I was in an emotional blackout...This is teh greatest reality show out there... Now that time as passed absolutely you have my permission to play it both on tv and radio... The fans are like my extended family. People are paying for a service I don't want them to think, well shit they are editing stuff... I want you to air it and have people see it.

Artie has spoken with Teddy on the phone and basically said that he did nothing wrong and wants them to both put everything behind them. Told Teddy not to quit his job at Sirius over this...

Howard's thoughts on canceling the replay:

I wanted to do the right thing in this situation...Part of me thinks I should follow this guys, I didn't know if he was going to kill someone or somebody...God forbid if we replay this and it drives him nuts that this all happens. I was generally concerned for you....I thought the audience would understand... I quickly told Tim I don't want to replay this... I did not want Artie to be further distressed. I was afraid you might hurt yourself.

AMSTERDAM:

I saw Teddy and made contact when we were getting on the plane, it was too soon to make conversation... I got to Amsterdam and pulled up to my hotel and two American guys tell me "You fucked up this morning, man." I didn't see Teddy the whole trip. I just stayed to myself....It's such a beautiful city. I didn't do any of the "H's" I love heroin or hookers. These whores are in little lockers....Some of them were old, like Gramdmothers with tits hanging to their knees. I walked around the red light district but did not partake in anything.... I smoked a joint, it was fantastic weed I guess, I took three puffs and I was beautiful. The capital of the wold for pancakes, they are big and light and fluffy...There is a big Dutch woman making them for you, so full of butter. After smoking weed like that and then walking it off and eating some pancakes is fantastic. Syrup was dripping and I was so happy.

Hopefully now that Artie is back he will realize how truly important the show is in his life and to his career and in turn will focus on the show a bit more. A little less sleeping and sugar coma and a little more funny. Riley Martin also just called in and announced he has signed a 6 month contract extension.

This place needs a little levity today...

Therefore I present Beetlejuice's new front teeth as revealed this morning on The Howard Stern Show.

Best guest ever.

Brand New Eric Pictures





News always seems to break when Howard Stern takes a week vacation. Whether it is the death of a celebrity, a big national news story or something major involving the wack pack for some reason when Howard is not on the airwaves there is always something that I would like to hear his two cents on.

This past week Howard 100 news has reported on and I have seen the actual proof of Stern Fan Network that the whole Kendra Secrets and Eric The Midget relationship was a scam initiated by Johnny Fratto in order to get airtime on The Show and get Kendra plugs. No surprise there... It is plain to see to any long time Stern Fan that Howard has a soft spot for Eric and he is radio gold whereas Howard really can't be bothered with Fratto. Therefore Fratto stepped in and created the jsfc and props ETM in front a webcam 24/7 and advertises his business on the website and on The Stern Show.

Well since the news and documents leaked about the whole thing being a frame job Fratto had to step up his game and get Eric and Kendra together pronto in order to try to quell the rumors. They want us to think that this girl with a soft core porn website is really dating a 3 foot midget. Talk about suspending ones disbelief.

Anyway it is obvious the whole relationship is a sham, but Fratto flew Eric and Kendra out to LA and put them on cam from his house for the world to see.... The pics are too priceless to pass up, so enjoy!

Rachel Bilson Proclaimed Sexiest Woman In Hollywood By Howard Stern

As soon as I jumped in my car this morning at 6:30 and emerged from the garage I heard Howard Stern ready to bestow the title of "Sexiest Woman In Hollywood" on a new actress. Now I have been listening to Stern for over 15 years and sometimes I can totally guess where he is going to go with something before he even says it. Bilson on the cover of GQ caught my eye this weekend as I was walking thru the supermarket, she was always the hottest female on The O.C. in my opinion.

After seeing that Bilson was on the cover of GQ I had a sneaky suspicion that Howard was going to name her his flavor of the week. As soon as the thought popped into my head Howard mentioned seeing her in the new issue of GQ and named her one of his new Hollywood favorites. I won't fault him for fumbling a bit stating that she starred in "Dawson's Creek" and was the girlfriend of "Pacey" since the only difference between Dawson's Creek and The OC is about 5 years and the coast that the show supposedly took place in.

I also saw th preview for Bilson's new movie The Jumper, which opens on Valentine's Day and seems to be a decent looking thriller. Check out the preview below.

Howard Stern The Camp Wel-Met Days

In honor of The History of Howard Stern being played this week on Howard 100.

Today was the first day of The History of Howard Stern on Howard 100. Most of the bits played so far I have heard before, but I thought that the presentation "The Tapes Team" put together was pretty tight.

Today's episode took us from Howard's birth, through his days spent at Boston University, with stories of his summer days at Camp Wel Met as a camper, a dish boy and finally a counselor. Plenty of old tape that featured Howard telling stories to the gang through the years intermixed with interviews from his old friends such as Doctor Lou and others.

Of course it is not as fresh as a live show, but every hundredmillionaire needs three weeks of for Christmukkah, so I'll take The History Of Howard Stern as a worthy substitute and a nice retrospective of the King Of All Media's career.

Bubba The Love Sponge Renews With Sirius...

This morning on The Howard Stern Radio Show on Sirius Bubba The Love Sponge flew in from the swamps of Tampa Bay to formally announce that he has signed a 1 year deal that will keep his show in the 3 to 7 afternoon drive slot on Howard 101.

The way Bubba and crew were working the fans the past month it looked as if this deal might not get done and Bubba would be headed back to terrestrial radio or take the show to podcast willie. Well, that is about half true as it was also announced later in the morning that The Bubba The Love Sponge show will also take over the morning drive slot on his hometown 102.5 The Bone as well as 104.5 in Jacksonville.

Bubba and crew had their syndicated show which was based out of Tampa dropped from the air in 203 when the FCC levied them with the largest one time fine in broadcast history.

As a listener to Bubba since he joined Sirius I can certainly tell that he has an affinity for the Tampa radio market and there is also a certain morning radio personality in Tampa that Bubba would love to knock off of their reigning #1 ratings spot.

It seemed that Sirius was putting up all kinds of roadblocks regarding Bubba's resigning, but over the weekend the King Of All Media intervened and got the deal complete.

I think it is a good deal all around and should not detract from the Sirius show all that much. It as not as if it is a watered down simulcast with terrestrial radio, instead they are two separate shows. Obviously there will be a fair amount of overlap and some topics may not seem as fresh in the afternoon, but the morning show, coupled with the long days are sure to bring more cheap heat and drama to the afternoon show as well.

I'm happy Bubba is back with Sirius for another year, the show is a nice companion to my evening drive home.

I Am Darth Nihilus

Ever since the Gary Garver interview with the freaks at the Star Wars convention dressed as Darth Nihilus and The Gamorrean Guard there seems to be quite a surge in popularity for this fringe Star Wars character that is Darth Nihilus.

I found a page on a Star Wars message board that has the clips of the original Gary Garver interview as well as the phone call that Sal and Richard put together about Darth Nihilus wanting to get his degree.

Howard Stern vs. The Superficial Friends

I first saw this video last week and thought it was pretty funny. Plenty of inside jokes it is a worthwhile 3 minute clips for any Howard fan. Today it got a mention on the Howard100 news, so I thought I would post the clip.

Gary Dell'Abate's New CT Crib

**UPDATE 1/29/09**

This post is originally from April of 2007 when I first linked to pics of Gary Dell'Abate's new house pictures from Sound & Vision magazine. Well the house has been completed for a while and as you all know Howard and the gang have spent a whole lot of time over the past two mornings giving Gary a hard time about the setup in his home theater. Howard has been brutally criticizing Bababooey's decision to include a bar and 3 barstools at the back of the room instead of another row of recliners.

The internet has been abuzz looking for pictures of Gary's house and screening room and this post that I wrote over a year and a half ago has received more than 3,500 hits today!! So for your pleasure I have edited this post to include new and updated pics of Gary Dell'Abate's home theater or screening room and the offending barstools!

Enjoy!

You may have heard Bababooey mention that he was building a new house over the past 6 months ago. Well someone at SFN just posted a link to this article about Gary, his new house, his tech setup and his collection of vintage radios. They didn't mention is cartoon art collection though!

Anyway it is a pretty big article that I found rather interesting and it includes a slideshow of pics from inside the house.

Congrats to Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky!

Beth Ostrosky will never have to pose in Sunday newspaper flyers again as she is engaged to the King Of All Media!

Well as a huge Howard Stern fan I certainly picked a bad day to call in to work because of the weather and then climb back under the covers. Crystal and I just got out of bed at 11am, I turn on the computer and head over to Stern Fan Network and come to find out Howard proposed to Beth O last night!

Normally I listen to Howard100 and Howard101 for about 12 hours a day and I miss this blockbuster news! Oh well, thank goodness for replays and the West Coast feed. The show will begin its replay in about 40 minutes and I can't wait to hear how the whole thing plays out. Not that I will torture Crystal by listening to Howard100 all day on Valentine's Day!

I figured it was an only matter of time before Howard would propose and this in fact is pure radio gold. We listened to all the hubub leading up to the recent Bubba The Love Sponge wedding and I know that there will be some great radio surrounding the engagement, preparing for the wedding etc.

And yes, I predict that Beth will get pregnant with the King Of All Media's seed within the next 16 months!

Bubba The Love Sponge Wedding Pics

There has been a nice spike in traffic over here today as people have been searching for the pictures that Mutt from Stern Fan Network took of Howard Stern at his "private" birthday party Friday night. After the verbal assault that The King Of All Media unleashed on Mutt today I see that all the pictures from Howard's Private party have been removed from SFN. The few pics that I did right click and save are in the post below.

Since web traffic demands it I figured I might as well post some of the pics that Mutt posted from Bubba's wedding as well. I'm not sure if these pics are only viewable to SFN members so I figured I would save some and post them up here.

The pictures include:
Hogan and Brooke
Richard Christy and Benjy getting their dance on
The bride showing off her assets
Ronnie The Limo Driver Mund in the middle of his "Let's Fuck some Whores" chant
The one and only Ned
Bubba and his pimp cup to wash down something from "the rattler"
Berry faced Ralph Cirella

Hope you all enjoy the pictures, feel free to leave any and all comments relating to The Show and the Tampa trip!

Happy 53rd Birthday Howard Stern!

Here are some pics from Stern Fan Network of Howard Stern at his 53rd birthday party last night in Tampa, where he and the crew are for the weekend to attend the Bubba The Love Sponge Wedding. It is rare to get to see pictures of Stern in a natural environment so as a big fan of the show I thought these pictures were a treat. Congrats to Mutt the owner of Stern Fan Network and host of Super Fan Roundtable on Howard 101 for really breaking into the inner sanctum.

Howard Stern Is Big Pimpin

What an anniversary for Howard Stern. The King Of All Media celebrated his first year on Sirius Satellite radio today not with a blowout bash complete with John Cougar Mellencamp and chess lessons from Boris Spassky. Just another day of great radio, a breakfast that they couldn't attend, and a little cake celebration.

To top it all off Howard also takes home 22 million+ shares of SIRI for exceeding subscriber numbers that were set forth in his contract. It is obvious that Howard and Sirius are having an effect on regular radio and have almost met XM is subscriber base. SIRI outsold XM by more than 2 to 1 in Q4, and this is the trend you can expect to continue.
