Happy Valentine’s Day - King of All Media Engaged

Shock jock Howard Stern says he’s engaged
NEW YORK — Howard Stern is engaged to Beth Ostrosky, the veteran shock jock announced on his radio program this morning.
Stern, who divorced his first wife Alison in 1999 after some 20 years of marriage, has repeatedly said he would never get married again.
He denied rumors of marriage as recently as last week.
Stern, 53, left commercial radio in 2005 and joined Sirius Satellite Radio, where his morning radio show is aired “uncensored.”
He starred in the 1997 motion picture “Private Parts,” based on career, which launched in Hartford. Much of the film focused on his relationship with his first wife.
In typical Stern fashion, he joked today that he removed Ostrosky’s uterus to guarantee the couple will not have children.
“I see my married friends with children and it seems like absolute torture to me,” Stern said this morning.
Callers to the Stern show are ridiculing the shock jock because of the announcement.

Wow, I give up with you sheltered tech freaks who don’t feel like recognizing Valentine’s Day.
So here’s a real love story for the ages. It features my grandparents (David and Ethyl Rosenzweig) so please keep snide comments about its appropriateness to yourself:

Now that would have been a good blog post.
And notice nobody repeated after you. Howard abdicated terrestrial radio. so– no longer king there, sorry. TV? Never made a real impact beyond late-night cable, where Larry King ruled anyway. Podcasting? Blogs? Nope. Print? Nope. Online? God I hope not.

Doug,
As I’ve often said to Curling and Cricket referees, how exactly do you keep score?
* Number one rated terrestial radio show in NYC for 20 years
* First DJ to successfully syndicate a drive time show nationwide (sorry but Rush would have tanked in drive time)
* Two best selling books
* 10 years as highest rated show on the E Network (superior to Larry King’s ratins)
* Largest contract in history of radio and history of satellite
* Award winning movie (prestigious Czech Film Festival)
* Huge collection of fan Web sites and endless media coverage
* 3 seemingly well-adjusted children
* Very hot fiancée
* Shared Beetlejuice (www.jollyDwarf.com) with the world
Go ahead and get technical on “abdicating” a crown, but this is a hall of fame resumé.

You do realize I’m pulling a “Gregg Jackson” on you, right? Though it’s beyond my hope that I could provoke you into a 1,000 word response. You’re just not in his league, blogghorea-wise.

That’s awesome, I almost started the post by saying I know you’re baiting me.
Well, it was fun to be on the hook and I got to share Beetlejuice’s Web site in the process - bet Gregg doesn’t post like that.

Now that I think of it the real King of All Media might be Mel Karmazin (possible $13B deal) or super agent
Don Buchwald.
Nah, it’s still Howard and again for giving Beetlejuice to the world!
