Who will win Howard Stern's 'Bowling Beauties' contest?


Who will win Howard Stern's 'Bowling Beauties' contest?

Forecast: Jackie (34% chance ) Combining all predictions, the current most likely outcome is Jackie with a probability of 34% (unchanged in last 1 day) When you think bowling you probably think ugly shirts, fat guys and gutter balls. Not Howard Stern. Sixteen hot girls compete for glory, prizes and an rediculously large trophy. Final Episode - June 12th. Check it out at: Howard TV's Bowling Beauties

Jackie seems to be the favorite right now. Watching the first show you get the impression that all the girls are gunning for her. She must have really impressed them in practice. She does have some nice form. In the second show, however, I think Gina Lynn proved that she is going to be a force to reckon with as the tournament progresses. I predict that it will come down to these two ladies with the advantage going to Gina Lynn. I give Gina Lynn the advantage because she really knows her way around bowling balls. She'd got two on her chest. Just kidding girlfriend. I have really enjoyed the two shows I have watched so far. I do think maybe Jim Florentine was the wrong choice for host however. All I keep thinking when he is on camera is Jim, what are you doing? You should be home with Robin trying to pick up the 7 10 split.

Howard Stern #9 on GQ's most whipped men

9. Howard Stern

Not only did the self-styled King of All Media break his promise to never remarry when he got engaged to Beth Ostrosky in 2007, but he also reportedly gushed, “I love you. You’re everything to me.… This is so gay.… I’m asking you to spend the rest of your life with me.” Since then, the Sirius-radio host has given over longer and longer segments of his show to coo to his beloved and promote her spaying, neutering, and pet-adoption crusade. Never lacking in self-awareness, Stern told People magazine, “Sometimes we fantasize about actually having a wedding with the white dress and the whole thing—because I look great in a white dress.”

Robin Quivers for Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity

Robin Quivers pays $2.4 million for 1,486-square-foot condo

Stern Sidekick Robin Quivers Ditches Staten Island for Upper West Side Condo
by Lysandra Ohrstrom | May 23, 2008


Back in 2004, Howard Stern’s sidekick Robin Quivers pledged to leave the U.S.A. if George W. Bush was re-elected. Last November the shock-jock’s wing woman did sell her Staten Island home for $1.2 million, but it appears Ms. Quivers only intended to flee the borough, not the country.

She has paid $2.4 million for a 1,486-square-foot condo at the new, Costas Kondylis-designed building, 200 West End Avenue, city records show. Ms. Quivers took out a $1.9 million mortgage on her two-bedroom, 22nd-floor, Upper West Side apartment.

The building’s developer, The Clarett Group, promises sprawling city views on 200 West End Avenue’s Web site, and Ms. Quivers is used to “panoramic vistas” after living in the Todt Hill neighborhood of Staten Island, the highest natural point on the Eastern Seaboard south of Maine.

Otherwise, her new digs are a far cry from the 1.6-square-mile, suburban nabe she lived in on Staten Island.

After a few years in various prisons CANINUS is back.

Plans to record another EP are in the works and naturally that means its time for a new drummer. Budgie, Basil, Sudz Exodus and Belle Molotov now welcome none other than Richard Christy to the band!!!

"Stern aide details his Del.drug connection" by Ryan Cormier

Stern aide details his Del. drug connection


Councilman Prado appears on shock jock's show


By RYAN CORMIER
The News Journal


"The Howard Stern Show" returned to the air Monday, giving the shock
jock his first opportunity to talk to sidekick Artie Lange about his
admission last week that he regularly left Stern's studio at the end
of the show to drive to Delaware to buy heroin.


Under the questioning, Lange revealed more details about his time in
Wilmington in 2005, saying he would buy three days' worth of the drug
at a time and snort a few lines before driving back to New York.


"It was just awful," Lange told Stern on Sirius Satellite Radio. "How
I didn't at one point just blow my ... head off, I don't know."


Stern and the rest of his on-air crew also discussed last week's
article in The News Journal about Lange's drug runs to Wilmington.


Steve Langford, Stern's on-air newsman and former "Hard Copy" and "A
Current Affair" producer, came into the studio during Stern's show and
previewed his news report that included an interview with Wilmington
councilman Sammy Prado, who told The News Journal last week that he
cringed when he saw that Lange had bought heroin in his city.


"Councilman Sammy Prado, who admits being a Stern fan, is quoted as
saying he doesn't want Wilmington to be known as an infamous place
where Artie Lange got his dope," Langford said on Monday's show,
causing Lange to laugh at the report.

some quick thoughts about my appearance on Howard Stern by Paula Gloria

Monday May, 19 2008
Just some quick thoughts about my appearance on Howard Stern this morning. At all points I felt people, all of them with me. The magnitude of the information is such that even Howard saying that he (like Alan Steinfeld) believes in the official story is an important anchor and connection to 8 million listeners. As much as I like all of the people in the truth movements I feel that the offical story is a more constructive embrace then one that in it's "the public can't handle the truth" deprive people of the real "Ah-Ha". A proper "Ah-Ha" has solution in it, solution that makes people's lives brighter and hopeful for the real understanding it brings rather than blame and punishment. Solution to endless war. Certainly forgiveness is critical and for forgiveness to be meaningful you have to know exactly who you are forgiving and for exactly for what. All this takes constant research and connection with all of us Americans as well as many abroad who express themselves over the internet (see National Art Club presentation May 23rd below)
Not to apologize for my shortcomings or seeming to dodge questions (which I will address here on this website) but real knowledge is developed through asking the right questions. It is important to develope the opportunity for people to ask the right questions when they really want the asnwers but lay the ground for the magnitude of the issue and then be available to support the process as the solution to endless war may not be what people had expected.

On Friday the 23rd we will have a benefit for the Concordia Foundation at the National Arts Club, 15 Gramercy Park south, with a reception and on-going screenings of the 9/11 video mash-up art (6 to 10 pm) It is a tremendous honor to be able to present this new expression of DJ culture in one of the oldest institutions promoting art in America. Please check their website: www.thenationalartsclub.org. This is a breakthrough crossover that promises to be fun and riveting, certainly controversial and we hope beneficial to the Concordia Foundation who has much more up it's sleeve and needs more help!

I am delighted that I will be able to speak on "Nonviolent Communication and Corporations" at St Mark's church next Sunday May 25th at 6 pm (10th st and 2nd Ave) with Les Jamieson who supports the ballot initiative of a reinvestigation of 9/11. Even though it is not my strategy I commend Les for allowing me the opportunity to share knowledge that will help all strategies. I want to help people with skills in empathy building and methods that develop "power with" instead of "power over". Even with different beliefs about how the towers were destroyed all the groups have more in common then not and through the ability to stay connected as well as more accurate evidence coming forward, the next steps will unfold themselves and harmony will grow.

Stay posted and now I'm off to produce "Total Penetration" our hour long special at 7 pm on Sirius radio (videotaped for Howard on Demand TV)

Stay Posted!

Love,

Paula

Howardshrine and SFN peace treaty benefits Howard 101

The ceasefire between the two biggest Stern fan families, the Super fans of SFN and the True Fans of the Howardshrine is paying off, and Howard 101 is reaping the benefits. As readers of this blog, you are aware that the war between these two families had gotten so bloody that Howard and the gang were actually going to step in to try and settle things, calling for a sitdown. That wasn't necessary, however, as the heads of those feuding families, Mutt and myself, were able, behind the scenes to iron things out, and a peace accord was struck.

The main issues concerning the True Fans of Stern, the "Getting of the Gay" policy and having ban trigger happy Joey Boots as a moderator are no longer problems at SFN. Mutt and SFN are no longer attacked in this blog, and I have been reinstated as a member of SFN with the name of DocSante. There are still a handful of hatesheep at SFN trying to revise history and misinform the current members but overall things have been going better than expected. This week, this time of peace has proven to be beneficial to Howard and the show when yours truly on SFN posed a question to the members that is going to be featured on tonight's Super Fan Roundtable, "Would you eat a dead person to meet Howard?" I am glad I was able to contribute to one of the best Howard 101 shows, The Super Fan Roundtable, hosted by my long time Internet friend, Mutt(who is doing a great job) I am looking forward to contribute more and more as time goes.

Lets hope that Richard Johnson and Chaunce Hayden, can follow our lead and make peace as well.



Sirius sponsor Lifelock being sued.

ID theft protection firm sued
LifeLock misinformed customers, lawsuit says
For a time, the ads were everywhere on TV and radio, the ones with the head of a security company brazenly challenging would-be thieves to try to steal his identity.
By Andrew Clevenger
Staff writer
For a time, the ads were everywhere on TV and radio, the ones with the head of a security company brazenly challenging would-be thieves to try to steal his identity.

Richard Todd Davis, CEO of LifeLock Inc., was so confident in his company's ability to protect his identity that he publicly revealed his Social Security number: 457-55-5462.

But according to a new class-action lawsuit filed last week in Jackson County, LifeLock's identity theft protection services were so inept that Davis' personal information was stolen repeatedly.

"While LifeLock has only publicly acknowledged that Davis' identity was compromised on one occasion, there are more than 20 driver's licenses that have been fraudulently obtained [using his personal information]," the suit states.

"Furthermore, a simple background check performed using Davis' Social Security number reveals that his entire personal profile has been compromised to the extent that the birth date associated with his Social Security number is Nov. 2, 1940, which would [inaccurately] make Davis 67 years old."

The lawsuit maintains that LifeLock, which claims on its Web site to be "the industry leader in the rapidly growing field of Identity Theft Protection," made false and misleading claims in its multimillion-dollar ad campaign about the level of protection it provides.

"Through its advertisements, LifeLock misrepresents and assures consumers that it can protect against all types of fraud including, without limitation, computer hacking, password theft and other noncredit-related theft," the suit reads.

But LifeLock doesn't protect against many forms of identity theft, according to the lawsuit.

Page 6's Richard Johnson won't let source burn him twice

Last month, Page Six ran an item about a sex tape featuring Bam Margera Bam-ing the fiancee of radio shock jock Opie. Opie said the whole thing was false, and offered $100,000 to anyone who could produce the tape. A couple of weeks later the Post ran a retraction of the item—but laid the blame at the feet of Steppin' Out editor Chaunce Hayden, who they said gave them the bad info in the first place. Well Chaunce Hayden, unrepentant media whore, wouldn't let such a thing pass without turning it into a feud! And he helpfully forwarded on the snippy emails between himself and Page Six boss Richard Johnson. Watch out for flying spittle!

When Chaunce Hayden sent out an email blast this week, he got this back:

From Richard Johnson to Chaunce Hayden: We're not using stuff from you at this time, or possibly ever again. My boss was furious we had to run a correction. It is an embarrassment to the entire newspaper. Don't you get it? Don't waste your time sending us items. We're not going to use them.
OH YEA?

From Chaunce Hayden to Richard Johnson: Well Richard... it wasn't that much of an embarrassment for you. After all, you took the cowards way out and blamed me for your bad reporting. I told Bill I never saw the tape and that I was told about the tape from an ex employee of the O&A show. But you didn't have the guts to take the hit for it. You should know I got several emails from your co-workers who thought what you did was a disgrace. But I'm sure you already know that.
How hypocritical of you to take hundreds of items from me for nearly 20 years and one goes sour and you throw me under the bus. What kind of person are you? You should be ashamed.
But again... I'm sure you already know that.

craiglist lady caller banged uncovered

LIGHTEN UP, DOLLY by the New York Post

LIGHTEN UP, DOLLY


Howard Stern wants to make peace with Dolly Parton. The country legend
said she was "humiliated and shocked" last week when Stern staffers
mashed up an audio book of hers, stringing together words to form
racist and vulgar statements in an ongoing routine on the show. "I
would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth," Parton said
in a statement. "If there was ever going to be a lawsuit, it's going
to be over this." But Stern claims Parton has no case, as the tape was
a parody - and he really likes Dolly, anyway. "She's had a long career
and she's been hot the whole time," Stern said yesterday on his show,
trying to placate the buxom singer.

Kidd Chris fired!!!

94 WYSP's Kidd Chris fired over guest's racist parody song

94 WYSP morning host Kidd Chris has been fired over a racist song performed by an in-studio guest in March. WYSP program director John Cook also lost his job over the fallout from the song "Schwoogies," sung to the tune of Blondie's "Call Me," that was performed March 21 in studio by a guest named Lady Gash.

"We found the song to be highly offensive and completely inappropriate for broadcast on our airwaves. When senior management of the station learned that it had been played, they took immediate steps to prevent it from ever appearing on the station again," CBS Radio spokeswoman Karen Mateo told us moments ago. "At the same time, we launched an extensive internal investigation into the situation including a thorough review of the editorial controls and systems we have in place to prevent this type of content from airing. We instituted additional educational training for the station, and have taken appropriate disciplinary action, including termination of the individuals involved." Mateo declined to comment on whether Kidd Chris would be paid out the life of his contract, which was to last another three years.

The song was also aired several more times that day and at least once March 24. It was also captured by listeners and put on websites as well as a clip appearing on YouTube. It was also linked on Lady Gash's MySpace page, which has since been removed. When we checked this morning, the YouTube link to the clip said the material had been pulled down by request of CBS Broadcasting. Before the clips disappeared, a Daily News reader, transcribed the lyrics to the best of his ability. Be aware that the following passage contains material that may be offensive to some readers...

"Coloreds steal your wallets and coloreds have pink feet. Coloreds are loud and obnoxious, when they watch movies. Sticky fingers, what they are, Always try to jack my car, Schwoogies! Or shines, you can call them anything you like. Schwoogies! Watch out, jigs will rob you, day or night. Schwoogies. Mookie doesn't like to work, Just rolls blunts all day long. But there's one job he can do, hold a lantern on my lawn. If someone else has your watch on, you can bet its a moolignon. Shwoogies! All Around, there's Sambos, monkeys, knuckle draggers, So much brown Mandingo, Go Mr. Bojangles (unintelligable). I have no problem singing about the Negroes."

Calls and text messages sent to Kidd Chris this morning were not returned. His agent Bob Eatman also did not immediately return a message left at his Los Angeles office. Chris was to celebrate his birthday tonight with a party at Whiskey Tango (Philmont & Bustleton). Porn starlet Mary Carey was among expected guests.

Interview with Artie Lange by newsday.com

Life's a party for Artie
Comic Lange says he's taking better care of himself now - no joke

BY GLENN GAMBOA
May 15, 2008

Artie Lange wants you to know that he's doing just fine, thanks.

Sure, Howard Stern's comedic sidekick had that well-publicized on-air blow-up last month, when he walked off the Sirius Satellite Radio show, saying he had to resign after flying into a rage at his assistant. But they've all moved on, and Lange came back after the show's cast returned from a scheduled vacation.

No matter what the folks at artielange deathwatch.com or various TV shows may think, he's not going anywhere anytime soon - other than to work. "Yeah, there's a party persona, but I'm 40 and I decided I may want to see 50," said Lange, calling from his home in Hoboken, N.J. "If I partied nearly as much as some people think I do, I'd be dead. I don't want that. Nobody wants that - at least I don't think they do. Some Web sites that predict my early death might want it, but I'm doing my best to disappoint them."

nothing for nothing but this video is as old as de hills. what took so long?

Dolly Parton and her big boobs are hopping mad!!!

Last week, Howard Stern and his hapless menagerie feigned mild amusement at a series of profane and poorly edited sound clips of Dolly Parton talking about penis, shit, Kenny Rogers, Johnny Carson's "big black cock," and other sundry topics in her new "audiobook." One drive-time commute that was not enriched by this cut-up comedy was Dolly Parton's, who's hopping mad and threatening a lawsuit. Howard will undoubtedly send her a bouquet of flowers and a picture of his butt as thanks for the attention with which this may eventually reward him.


I have never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated in all my life. I cannot believe what Howard Stern has done to me. In a blue million years, I would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth. They have done editing or some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing. Please accept my apology for them and certainly know I had nothing to do with this. If there was ever going to be a lawsuit, it's going to be over this. Just wanted you to know that I am completely devastated by this.


What surprises me about the "audiobook" bit isn't the vacuously bawdy humor so much as the lack of enthusiasm those involved can muster. The recording is full of dead pauses and only the mildest of chuckles. It sounds like naptime is just as likely to follow as an interview with someone who once had sex with a famous person. I always assumed shock jockery was full of sound effects and hyena-like henchmen keeping the mood boisterous and lively, but this comes off like an anally fixated Tom Snyder.

Howardshrine wackpacker Dave talks about the howardshrine.net board

A message from Yucko the Clown: Rack em Willie given 6 months to live.

We are working on a new animation for superdeluxe.com and we wanted to get Rack ‘Em Rack to do one of the voices. So a few weeks ago we decided we would go out and track him down. We spent several hours going by his usual hangouts and asking around. Most people in Athens don’t know him by Rack Em Rack (a nickname that we gave him) or even Willie. Everyone here calls him “Chicken”. After many conversations and a lot of misinformation we finally found a group of people downtown that seemed to know what they were talking about. They said that Willie had gotten really sick and had moved into an assisted living facility. Now we’ve heard many rumors about all of our guys over the years so we don’t believe anything until we’ve seen it.

Roger and I headed over to this facility to see if he was really there. We asked at the front desk if they had a Willie James Huff and the guy said he didn’t. We were relieved that he wasn’t there because everyone we’d seen so far looked to be in pretty bad shape. As we were turning to leave he said that we may want to double check in the back to make sure he wasn’t there. We did just that and the nurse said he actually was in there. She led us to the cafeteria we she said he was having dinner. I was hoping that they had another Willie Huff, but it was Rack Em. He was excited to see us, but he was defiantly not his usually happy and energetic self. Apparently he has a very serous condition and has been given six months to live. I was crushed by this news. Willie may have had is faults, but he is a great guy. I spent thirteen hours in the car with him when we took him to NYC to be on the Stern show. I’d never seen anyone so excited to see New York. Within few hours he knew the streets better than we did. We left the facility really bummed out.


We returned the next day to bring him some DVDs and T Shirts. He seemed to be doing much better and even felt up to doing the voice over for the animation. I started to think that he may not be that sick, but his nurse said that’s how it goes with his condition, there are good days and bad days. As he was recording the voice over I couldn’t help but think that this may be the last time we ever get to work with him.

Most people have only seen the first video that we shot with Willie, but that was over seven years ago. He really cleaned up his act since then. He stopped drinking and doing all of the other things that weren’t great for his health. If you have seen the job interview prank you can tell how much he has changed, but still remained funny.

Willie has made millions of people laugh over the years and has inspired many people to do their own Rack Em tribute videos on You Tube. We were trying to think of the best way for Willie’s Fans to bring a little happiness into the time he has left. If you are a fan of Willie’s and you want to do something I think the best thing you can do is write him a letter. Tell him how he made you laugh. Tell him how you and your friend quote him all the time. Tell him how you were having a bad day and you watched one of his videos to cheer you up. This guy has had a hard life, but I can tell you for a fact that he loved making those videos with us and he loved making people laugh.

An open letter to Jessica Hahn by Jason Kaplan

An open letter to SFN and Jessica Hahn (post #1)
An open letter to SFN and Jessica Hahn:

Hi all.

This is Jason Kaplan and yes, I read SFN at least once a day. I love the site. I love seeing what the fans are talking about, especially you guys, who are never short a theory, conspiracy, complaint or funny photoshop.

Not sure why anyone would be surprised by that. First of all, I produce Superfan Roundtable, the show for the fans, by the fans. I'm always looking to see what the fans are interested in and talking about. So many of you have great angles on what's going on. Even though I don't agree most of the times, or the logic is faulty in my opinion, doesn't mean it's not interesting as hell. Ask Mutt how often I go to him saying "this guy on SFN had a great point, let's talk about that on superfan tonight...".

Ask anyone who has ever been up here for SFRT. I love the fans opinions on stuff. I was (and still am) a huge fan of the show. Way before I started working here, I was a superfan, and if I never got a job here I'm sure I'd be reading SFN all the time anyway.

In regards to Jessica Hahn, I am well aware of her history with the show. I heard it all growing up. I know what a major part she played, and still continues to play, with the show. If there ever was a hall of fame for guests/personalities of the show, she'd be right at the top of the list.

She is also a total sweetheart. The little I know her personally, I know that she is a kind, caring person who is beyond nice to everyone. And she's a great piano player.

That said, I still don't think she's a celebrity. Sorry, she's just not. She's infamous for a 25 year old scandal and besides that, if you don't listen to the Howard Stern show, you have no idea who she is. In the Howard Stern universe - major star, and deservedly so. Outside the HS Universe - no one knows who she is, unless they are over 40 years old and you remind them of the Jim Bakker story. And even that is a crap shoot.

But Jessica, no disrespect mean. Also, I don't think it's insulting at all to be considered part of the wack pack...for the most part. And, by the way, I agree with you 100% about Barbara Walters. In one fail swoop she has thrown out 50 years of respect to reveal that not only is she a home-wrecking slut, but proud of it! She is a hypocrite and apparently only interested in herself and no one else.

To Sternfan Network and Superfans everywhere - you are an integral part of the show and the Stern Universe. Even when you bash me, it's an honor, because it means you are aware of who I am from the show, which is more than I could have ever asked for.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message - Jason

XM-Sirius: Still No End in Sight

XM-Sirius: Still No End in Sight
Posted by Deal Journal

WSJ’s Amy Schatz files this dispatch from the Federal Communications Commission

Federal Communications Commission chairman Kevin Martin remained mum Thursday, when asked by reporters at a news conference about when he might begin circulating an item on the 334-days-and-counting merger of XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio.

Real work on crafting a compromise for conditions on the deal won’t begin in earnest until Martin’s staff produces a draft order and circulates it among the other four FCC commissioners. Even then, it will take at least three weeks for the FCC to come to some kind of agreement, if previous transactions are any indication.


The FCC’s deliberative pace in considering the deal hasn’t been matched by interested parties, however, which have been bombarding the agency with condition requests — ideas for merger conditions seem to be growing by the week.

Public interest groups have been pressing for conditions mandating price caps for a set time and channel set-asides for non-commercial broadcasters. They also like the idea of requiring XM/Sirius to set aside a certain percentage of channels for commercial leasing. That said, they haven’t necessarily jumped on board with a plan advocated by minority-owned private-equity firm Georgetown Partners, which wants a 20% channel capacity set-aside for a minority-owned company such as itself.

Last week, a group of influential congressmen told FCC commissioners that they should require XM/Sirius to make their service compatible with other consumer electronics, not just devices made by manufacturers with exclusive licensing agreements. They also want new XM/Sirius radios to also come equipped with HD radio capability — which would allow consumers to listen to free local radio stations which are broadcasting in high def.

On Wednesday, a group of attorney generals spent 45 minutes or so on the phone with FCC commissioner Jonathan Adelstein, a Democrat, about their concerns with the deal. Republican Rob McKenna, Washington State’s AG and Connecticut’s Democratic AG Richard Blumenthal joined assistant AGs from eight other states to press the commissioner to vote against the deal, or at the very least, place tough conditions on it similar to what the congressmen asked for last week.

“They have the feeling that the Justice Department didn’t pay proper deference to their concerns when (DOJ) issued its opinion,” Adelstein told reporters. The Justice Department approved the merger without conditions on March 24.

“I think it’s very important that the FCC after such dismissive treatment by the Department of Justice take extra consideration into account about the very legitimate concerns that the AGs are raising about the XM-Sirius merger,” Adelstein said.

Teacher who resigned lied about sick day

A second-grade teacher resigned abruptly this week after telling school officials she was sick and could not come to work on a day when she was appearing on the sexually charged 'Howard Stern Show' for a contest in which she won $5,000.
Marie Jarry, 28, of Farmington, resigned Monday. On May 1, she appeared on Stern's show. According to a list of teachers absent on May 1 that was provided by Superintendent of Schools Joseph Erardi, Jarry had called in sick that day.

Erardi declined to comment in detail on the matter. It was not clear how school officials became aware that Jarry had appeared on the shock jock's show or whether she was facing disciplinary measures.

'I expect that all staff, unless they are sick, will be on site and doing their assignments during the school week,' Erardi said in a brief interview Friday.

He said Jarry submitted her resignation on Monday and that it took effect immediately. Jarry had worked for the school system for five years and taught at Thalberg School, Erardi said.


Jarry could not be reached for comment.

According to the website for the Stern show, Jarry and her husband had entered a contest titled 'Ugliest Guy, Hottest Wife.' The contest aired May 1 and, according to the website, Jarry and her husband appeared on it and spoke. Two other couples were in the contest, but the Jarrys were declared the winners and awarded $5,000, according to the website.

Howardshrine Stern Trivia!!

Unsolicited Advice Guy asks:

Who was the dude who sang the song played by Hop Along Howie in Detroit in the movie Private Parts?


RIP Eddie and thanks for your contribution.


--------
- NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Eddy Arnold, whose mellow baritone on songs like "Make the World Go Away" made him one of the most successful country singers in history, died Thursday morning, days short of his 90th birthday.

Arnold died at a care facility near Nashville, said Don Cusic, a professor at Belmont University and author of the biography "Eddy Arnold: I'll Hold You in My Heart." His wife of 66 years, Sally, had died in March, and in the same month, Arnold fell outside his home, injuring his hip.

Arnold's vocals on songs like the 1965 "Make the World Go Away," a top 10 pop hit as well as a No. 1 country hit, made him one of the most successful country singers in history.

Folksy yet sophisticated, he became a pioneer of "The Nashville Sound," also called "countrypolitan," a mixture of country and pop styles. His crossover success paved the way for later singers such as Kenny Rogers.

"I sing a little country, I sing a little pop and I sing a little folk, and it all goes together," he said in 1970.

He was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1966. The following year he was the first person to receive the entertainer of the year award from the Country Music Association.

The reference book "Top Country Singles 1944-1993,'" by Joel Whitburn, ranked Arnold the No. 1 country singer in terms of overall success on the Billboard country charts.

Nicknamed "The Tennessee Plowboy," Arnold first gained notice with appearances on the Grand Ole Opry in the early 1940s. He debuted on the charts in 1945 with "Each Minute Seems a Million Years," and began his string of 28 No. 1 country hits with "What Is Life Without Love" in early 1947. His success helped make Nashville an important recording industry hub, according to Sony BMG Nashville, parent of his longtime label, RCA.

Sirius Stock Shares, a bad bet

Last year was a good one for Sirius Satellite Radio. Powered by Howard Stern, tons of sports programming and commercial-free music, the number of subscribers soared 38%, and still the company managed to lose $565 million.

While that is down from a loss of $1.1 billion in 2006, the fact is that the best hope for the company to become a serious moneymaker is a merger with its rival, XM Satellite Radio. But even a merged company might still struggle in the face of competition from iPods, cell phones and Internet radio. Meanwhile, the merger faces antitrust hurdles.

Investors should definitely tune Sirius out.

“Synergies [from the merger] will not be immediately realized and will be offset by integration costs,” predicted Credit Suisse analyst Bryan Kraft, who downgraded the stock to “neutral” in a report last month.


He also sighted higher royalty fees that the company will have to pay to artists and weakening sales of new cars equipped with satellite radio as reasons for the downgrade. The company’s $1 billion debt load and its ongoing losses are also sources of concern.

Sirius’ rapid growth has been fueled by an aggressive—and very expensive—expansion of premium programming, like Mr. Stern’s show, Nascar races and National Football League games. A merger would free the two companies from bidding against each other.

The combined company would also realize big savings through the elimination of huge overlaps in areas like marketing, operations and advertising. Mr. Kraft expected such savings to total $42 million in 2008, rising to a whopping $264 million in 2010. That year is also the first in which he expects to see the company post sizable profits, if only on an operating basis.

Even that forecast, however, assumes no significant adverse developments in the way people listen to music, a risky bet, given the rapid adoption of iPods in recent years and the growing audience for Internet radio.

Last year, Sirius’ revenue grew 45%, to $922 million. Barrington Research forecasts 2008 revenue of $1.18 billion, an increase of 28%, with a net loss of $403 million, 29% less than it lost last year.

From the Howardshrine Mailbag: An open letter about SFN, Boots, Fratto, Eric the Midget from a guy named Tommy

Not sure what this all means. Someone please read it and get back to me. Thanks


-------

From Tommy at fratt@live.com:


I felt that I should give this news to the dedicated bloggers at Howard Shrine! I think that by doing so, I am putting this into good hands and I know that the information will be told and posted correctly through your blog. I trust nothing will be taking out of context.

So ok guys, here's the deal. First off, I was firmly told to keep this quiet. But I feel that morally I can't keep this a secret. Secondly, I am in no way shape or form, involved with any attacks, or any attacks made in the past against those on SFN and the attacks that were carried out on other sources which I can not name at this time. But those people know who they are. The sad thing about it is, some of them don't even know that they are not secure as I speak to you right this very second.

I have recieved threats from Johnny not to release any important information. I was told my life would be put in jeapordy if I were to spill all the beans. So I don't want to jump the gun quite yet. But I will tell you a little of what I do know. I hope by coming out with some of this information that I'm able to provide, that I can open doors for Johnny and hope that he can come clean with everything. Hey Eric, you are no innocent man yourself. You should feel very ashamed!

Alright, so you are probably wondering who I am. To be quite honest, that's not important. But for the time being, you can call me Tommy.

Ok, here is what I know. It all started when I first recieved information through Eric. He got his resources through Johnny. How he go this information, I'm still not so quite sure about that. From there, I contacted Johnny as Eric, and I recieved word back from him within the hour. The feedback I recieved from Johnny was not very pleasent as you would imagine. They both figured out that I was playing the role of both Johnny and Eric. I told them after I got a hold of all this information they are keeping private. Well guess what you two, not so private anymore eh?

Look, we are not talking about something miniscule here. This did not start with Joey Boots and SFN getting "hacked". They were up to this months before that occured. While I am on that subject, just let me say that Mutt should be very careful who he can trust. That includes Joey. This was not an attack by "hackers" Please, use your common sense, if someone was going to spend their time trying to damage SFN, don't you think they would have gone the whole 9 yards? It was nothing more than a slap in the face. Johnny might not be the brightest of the bunch, but he's not that much of an idiot. The idiot to blame is Joey when it came to that situation.

By the way, speaking of Joey, feel free to enjoy Joey's hotmail account. Joey_Boots@hotmail.com and the password: ilovejoy. Since I feel he is of no importance, I thought the Stern fans out there would enjoy having a look at his hotmail account.

But this goes far beyond that crack addict. We are talking about major personal info that's in the hands of a select few. When I say personal information, I am talking about contact information, myspace accounts, aol accounts, SFN accounts, phone numbers, passwords, screen names, e-mails, pictures, etc. Private data! In fact, important information about Howard Shrine was surfaced. I would advice you guys at Howard Shrine to secure all exploits.

Look, I despise Johnny for this. I even despise Eric more so. Howard Stern has given this midget a name and publicity and this is the way he acts? I will never understand why anyone would want to hurt the people who have been there for support.

Johnny's incident with Chaunce Hayden? I didn't mind one bit. I'm not a big fan of Chaunce. I think, wait, I KNOW, he is a lying scumbag if I've ever seen one. If you could have read some of his personal e-mails you would know exactly what I am talking about when it comes to this greedy bastard.

Anyway, let's hope that Johnny will keep this information to himself and isn't saving it for future attacks. I feel very unsafe knowing that this information is out there without people's knowledge. I don't understand Johnny's juvenile behavior one bit. All I can say is, GET A GRIP JOHNNY! These people deserve that you and your so called "bro's" come clean.

On a lighter note, I thought that some of you Stern fans would like to know the true story behind Boots coming out of the closet. Verdict? Total bullshit! I'm sorry that I can't share his e-mails with you. Boy would you have got a kick out of those. But I know for a FACT that Joey isn't gay. Though if I were him, I would consider it. I don't see him getting laid by a woman any time soon.

I would love to dwell deeper into other stories that would shock a lot of you Howard Stern fans. But I'm giving Johnny a chance to come clean!

By the way, Johnny even has a price on bethostrosky@hotmail.com. This sick puppy even went so low that he was on Doug Goodstein's account browsing through his Kodak Album of the man's family.

What is your point Johnny? Enough is enough! OK? You are not the "Godfather" of the Internet. You're a chump! But out of respect, I will not state the man's name. But Johnny, without this man's knowledge you wouldn't have a clue.

Any questions? Feel free to contact me at fratto@live.com

A Howardshrine Sneak peak: Stuttering John in this week's Steppin Out Magazine


In this weeks Steppin Out magazine, Jay Leno's side kick, John Melendez sits down with Chaunce Hayden and talks about his current relationship with Howard Stern and his future with Jay Leno....

Chaunce Hayden: Howard Stern recently gave you a verbal tongue lashing for comments you made on the Adam Corolla Show about him. Looking back, do you regret anything you said about Howard?

John Melendez: I really don't think I said anything wrong. Most of the things that I said, Howard has said himself. For instance, I said that Howard didn't like when I did outside projects. Well, pull the tape of when he had Letterman on his show. He would tell Dave how he hates when his people do outside stuff because it dilutes the product. He compared it to the way Larry Bud Melman started doing commercials. He used to say it to me on the air. I swear, I didn't think that anything that I said on [Adam] Carrola was that controversial. What Howard has said about me was much worse! Yet, he trashed me so brutally. It's really shame. The truth is I really like Howard. We used to go out to dinner a lot.

Chaunce Hayden: Are you worried that when Jay's contract expires next year you'll be out of work?

John Melendez: Of course I'm worried! Jay's contract ends in 2009 and the talk is that Conan [O'Brien] will take over. If that happens I hope Jay gets an offer from another network and that he brings us all with him

Adam Carolla...The Next Howard Stern?

nigga please!!

The Next Howard Stern?
Turning Adam Carolla into a radio star
proves very tricky for CBS.
By SARAH MCBRIDE
May 3, 2008; Page A1

LOS ANGELES -- Two weeks before Christmas, radio host Adam Carolla woke before dawn and called in sick. Jack Silver, program director of Mr. Carolla's popular morning show, didn't buy it. "The dude's not sick," Mr. Silver recalls thinking.


Adam Carolla with his dancing partner, Julianne Hough, during the season premiere of "Dancing with the Stars" in March.
Mr. Carolla was sick -- sick of his sidekick. Danny Bonaduce, the former child TV star and self-described "freak show," had been brought on board early last year to juice up the act. Thanks partly to Mr. Bonaduce, the show's ratings were rising.

Chaunce Hayden Wrong Again

In the "No Big Surprise To Anyone Column"....

The NY Post ran a correction on today's paper calling Hayden's "reporting" on the alleged affair between Gregg "Opie" Hughes girlfriend and Bam Marguera "entirely incorrect."

http://www.nypost.com/seven/05052008/gossip/pagesix/for_the_record_109535.htm

FOR THE RECORD
May 5, 2008 -- ON April 23 we reported that the fiancée of Gregg "Opie" Hughes, one half of the Opie and Anthony radio show, was involved in an X-rated sex video with MTV star Bam Margera. We reported that Hughes was taking legal action against a disgruntled ex-employee of the radio duo who had acquired the rights to the video. We have since learned that this information, supplied by Steppin' Out's Chaunce Hayden, was entirely incorrect. There is no sex tape. Further, Hughes' fiancée has never met the MTV star. The Post sincerely regrets the error.


(update)
Chaunce tells Doc his side of the story, May 6th.

Chaunce Hayden:

"In regards to the Page Six bus accident.. the one where I'm still stuck under the wheels: I gave Page Six a heads up on some info I received from an ex staff member of the Opie and Anthony Show. I told Page Six that I never saw the tape and that I was trying to get the story comfirmed or denied from either Opie or a third party who could prove the alleged story to be correct. When I couldn't find anyone who could support the alleged story in question I decided not to print it. Page Six felt strong they did have enough info to print, since they went forward and printed the story the following day. However, that said, I totally understand why they had to drive th
