Earlier this week we took a look back at some of David Letterman's more interesting (and shirtless) moments prior to his 30th year anniversary in late night television. Letterman is now the longest-serving host in late-night TV history. That milestone was reached last night, and the host celebrated on-air with his pal Howard Stern, who says he's the only one still fighting the late night war. Watch below as the two talk about Jay Leno, complete with an impersonation from Letterman himself. more ›

Does the man who once sat on Cloud 7 believe there's something to Building 7? On Howard Stern's radio show last night, Tony Bennett questioned who was really to blame for the September 11th attacks that killed 2,996 Americans. "They flew the plane in, but we caused it," Bennett said. "But who are the terrorists? Are we the terrorists or are they the terrorists?" Bennett was alluding to the imposing presence of the United States in the Middle East prior to the attacks, but the damage had already been done. Look for his new single, "Who Can I Turn To (When People Find My Views On 9/11 In Poor Taste)," this fall. more ›

Bob Sherman, the radio executive who hired Howard Stern (good idea) and re-hired Don Imus (bad idea) at WNBC, has passed away, at 69. His son told The New York Times that the cause of death was cancer. more ›

A 50-year-old Jersey man has been issued a summons for leaving the scene of an accident—specifically an accident in which he allegedly hit the car of Howard Stern's trusty 59-year-old co-host Robin Quivers. The incident took place on Sunday afternoon when Quivers was driving north on Route 9. more ›

Anthony Weiner submitted his resignation letter to House Speaker John Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi today, five days after resigning during a weird press conference in Brooklyn. He wrote, "I hereby resign as a member of the House of Representatives for New York's Ninth Congressional District, effective at midnight, Tuesday, June 21, 2011. It's been an honor to serve the people of Queens and Brooklyn." more ›

Bill Murray called in to the Howard Stern show this week and talked a little Ghostbusters III with the host, saying, "There's a script somewhere [on my desk], but I haven't read it yet. I feel bad." We'd feel like this might be a tease but if Murray hasn't read it, then Murray hasn't written it, nor was he involved in writing it—so how good can it be? He added, "You know, the studio gets excited every 10 years or so. What they'd really like to do is recreate the franchise. I remember when the new Ghostbusters was going to be Chris Rock, Chris Farley and... someone." more ›

Did David Letterman just pull a Regis and announce his retirement last night? Maybe! During a chat with Howard Stern the shock jock asked the late night host "how much longer are you doing this, really?" To which Letterman responded "I don't know. Maybe two more years?" more ›

Over the weekend, Sirius XM shut down its studios so that an exterminator could treat the building for bedbugs. On his show yesterday, Howard Stern announced, "supposedly we're 100% bedbug-free. The only place in New York City that probably is 100% bedbug-free." But he's having a hard time freeing himself from the bedbugs in his head, revealing that "I'm scratching every minute... You know how paranoid I am about bedbugs. I just wish our contract was done and we could get out of here." And just like last month, Stern waxed nostalgic for the bygone days of DDT. more ›

Larry King is leaving his CNN show after 25 years of hard hitting interviews with the likes of Anna Nicole Smith, Donald Trump, and Corey Feldman. And now that Piers Morgan of America's Got Talent has been announced as his replacement, everyone is offering their ten cents about how to follow in Larry's footsteps. And who gives better advice than Howard Stern! more ›

Dominic Barbara, the flamboyant Long Island attorney who has represented Joey Buttafuoco, the guy who sued his wife for a kidney, and Diane Schuler's husband and is known for his appearances on the Howard Stern show, was arrested yesterday for allegedly violating an order of protection his ex-wife has against him. According to Newsday, he violated the order by "sitting down with his ex-wife Leslie, 45, while she was having coffee about 10:30 a.m. Sunday with a man at the Glen Cove Bagel Cafe." Barbara apparently had accused her of stalking him and actually wanted the cops to arrest her. Back in 2008, Howard Stern said that Barbara and his ex-wife wanted him on their side of the divorce dispute, "Let me explain to you and your wife: No one cares!" more ›

Yesterday, Howard Stern held a Tiger Woods "Mistress Pageant" with three of the golfer's past lovers—Jamie Jungers, Loredana Jolie and Jamiee Grubbs. Jungers, who said last year, "I mean, I’m not raised to do something like I did [date a married man], and I’m not saying it’s OK..." kiss-and-told on Stern's program— "The first night was more making out and rough sex...toward the end it was more passionate"—and was crowned "Miss Mistress." more ›

Jay Leno made his return to television last night, reclaiming The Tonight Show desk from Conan O'Brien (who has been banished to Twitter). One of Leno's many, many critics, Howard Stern, was on CBS's Early Show today where he said, "Just the mere mention of Jay Leno's name makes me to want to vomit. I don't like this guy. I don't disguise it. [He] seems to be the kind of showbiz animal that won't let go. Jay is a lap dog." He said if Leno was a real man, when he was originally replaced by Conan he would have moved to another network and tried to beat both him and Letterman in ratings. Well, last night he did beat Letterman, but Conan still has almost a half million more Twitter followers! more ›

Yesterday the sad news came out that Howard Stern sidekick and comedian Artie Lange attempted suicide over the weekend by stabbing himself nine times. His mother found him in his Hoboken apartment around 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning. Wishing the incident hadn't hit the press, Stern addressed it on his show once it did (listen below), saying in part: "I'm pissed off that this story got out there. I'm pissed off at the shithead who maybe got paid 10 bucks to tip off Page Six." more ›

Howard Stern sidekick and comic Artie Lange is in the hospital after a violent suicide attempt. This doesn't seem like one of those "cry for help" suicide attempts either; Lange actually stabbed himself 9 times. The NY Post reports that his mom called 911 Saturday morning after stopping by his Hoboken apartment to drop off food, only to find her son heavily bleeding with stab wounds. more ›

Usually if two eighteen-year-old males are in a car that ends up in a weekend fender bender on the Jersey Shore, most would assume that the youngsters had some culpability in the accident. That's not necessarily the case when the other party involved is comedian Artie Lange. The Howard Stern Show co-host was arrested yesterday at 1:30 p.m. in Toms River for driving under the influence and careless driving after rear-ending a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am with the two teens in it. The arresting officer said that he was unsure if Lange was under the influence of alcohol or illicit drugs, but that Lange was a "a perfect gentleman" throughout the incident. The former MadTV star was released a few hours later and is schedule to appear tonight at a nearby library for a reading of his new book, "Too Fat to Fish." Lange has struggled with alcohol and drug problems and recently revealed that he had been sober for over two months. Upon buying a house down at the Shore last year, other members of the Stern team believed it would "help him out with his mental state." more ›

Howard Stern married his longtime girlfriend, model Beth Ostrosky, at Le Cirque last night. The couple had been engaged for a year and a half, but details on the wedding were kept mum (even from guests) until the last minute. The ceremony was presided over by Mr. Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos, one of many big names in attendance. It also included a song from Billy Joel and a roast from Chevy Chase. The Post (who called it "A Big Baba 'I Do-Ey'") reports that the couple wrote their own vows. Stern's lawyer pal and frequent guest Dominic Barbara told the paper, "The vows were gentle and beautiful. They talked to each other's hearts." more ›

The latest craze for professional athletes is to intern in media. Ranger forward Sean Avery is headed to intern at Vogue this summer, while Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce spent today interning for the Howard Stern show. Bababooey! more ›

Long Island Lolita Amy Fisher has been happy to talk about her sex tape, her DJ-ing career, and her current life to pretty much any and all press. But throw in a question from the daughter of Joey and Mary Jo Buttafuoco, you don't get Amy. more ›

A dwarf bowling tournament planned for Staten Island bar Big Nose Kate’s has been cancelled after an unidentified scold alerted the media to the event, which was to be hosted Saturday by d-list celebrity dwarf minstrel Beetlejuice (pictured), an occasional guest on the Howard Stern show. In dwarf bowling, players take turns rolling a dwarf (wearing protective gear) on a skateboard down makeshift bowling alleys toward small pins. In exchange for his dignity, the dwarf/bowling ball earns more than $100 an hour, according to Beetlejuice’s co-manager. more ›

Controversial publisher Judith Regan dropped a 70-page lawsuit on her old bosses at Harper Collins and News Corp yesterday. The $100 million defamation suit claims she was the victim of a smear campaign in order to protect Rudy Giuliani's presidential bid (read: Rupert Murdoch's political agenda). She states they asked her to lie to federal investigators about her one-time lover and former police commish, Bernard Kerik (who at the time was working with Regan on... more ›

In a city whose mayor has made gun control one of his signature issues, it's no surprise that the number of registered gun owners has gone down. The Post reports that there are now 36,169, versus 38,000 last year. Permits that allow one to wear a gun on a holster (concealed) also dropped to 2,555, which the Sun says is almost 50% less than the 2004 number. Of course, there's now way to estimate illegal gun ownership. more ›

Tom Snyder died today, at age 71, after losing a long battle with leukemia. There are many videos with footage of his long career, because just about everyone wanted to talk to him (especially on "The Tomorrow Show" which aired after Johnny Carson in the '70s and '80s). more ›

If there's one NY Times Weddings & Celebrations write-up you read this week, read the one for Claire Israel and Oren Silverstein. Not only did the couple get married at Cupid’s Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas (but they'll have another service in Brooklyn next month), they also described how their initial online courtship had its roadblocks:

When the couple met online in April 2005, Ms. Israel was as concerned about where Mr. Silverstein lived (New Jersey) as he was about who she lived with (her two cats). more ›

Radio shock jock Don Imus was suspended for two weeks by CBS, which owns WFAN and Westwood One (the radio outlets his show is broadcast and syndicated on) and MSNBC, which broadcasts a televised simulcast of the radio show, over remarks he made towards the Rutgers women's basketball team. MSNBC announced that Imus would be suspended first, then CBS announced a similar suspension. more ›

The 22nd Annual April Fools' Day Parade is today. Did you go? We hope not, because this is a long running joke itself. During its 15th year the press was fooled and showed up to find no parade. From the Museum of Hoaxes: more ›

A year after moving his show to the station, Howard Stern received a bonus worth nearly $83 million (22.1 million shares) from Sirius Satellite Radio today ("for surpassing subscriber goals set in a 2004 contract that had already turned heads with its $500 million compensation package"). more ›

Last Thursday, we watched Late Night with Conan O'Brien with Howard Stern as guest. Howard, who you probably remember more when he was on 92.3FM was the guest, was doing his best to pimp Sirius Satellite. And how did he do that? After giving Conan (but not the whole audience) a Sirius Satellite radio, he mentioned that he had Martha Stewart on his show and she revealed she used a vibrator (The Thumper, though she initially mentioned that on The View!) and that women were interested in her at prison (naturally!). Conan then gave Howard the Sirius Satellite radio back, only half-jokingly. more ›
