Re: The Howard Stern Thread
I thought the Stern Show today was the best show in YEARS. First off, Maria Menounos was on, and she's hot. I thought she was great on the show, with some major help from her longtime boyfriend. She's kept him somewhat of a secret over the years but Howard brought him on and he let loose about everything Maria. Shaved, sexual preferences, etc. There were no boundaries.
I'd like to point out to, an amazing factoid about their relationship. They met in college when she was 19 and FORTY lbs. overweight. He exclaimed that he saw some potential in her and stuck with her as she developed into the hot piece of ass she is today. Now THAT folks, is a supreme talent evaluator. I can only imagine the number of guys who brushed her off because of the excess weight.
Anyhow, I thought the interview was fantastic, but I've read a few comments to the contrary. Am I just blinded by her beauty and her love for Boston sports? Let me know what you think.
And to be honest, her boyfriend DOES make the interview, so if you get bored by just her, skip to when he comes in on part 2 about 3 minutes in and he starts revealing the intimate details around the 5 minute mark. From there on out it's smooth sailing
She must've put that weight on post-high school, freshman/sophomore-college.
Because when she was 16 or 17, she used to host a show called 'Channel 1 News' that was piped live into lots of middle & high schools in America.
She wasn't an original on that program, but by the time I was about about a sophomore in high school, she was on that program.
The point is - she was a smokin' piece of hot ass then. Not heavy at all. So she must've went downhill briefly after that show ended.
Re: The Howard Stern Thread
That's possible. Maybe she put on the Freshman FORTY. Still though, I find it impressive the guy stuck with her through that. He deserves the benefits he receives now, and judging from that interview, there are plenty of benefits.
Here's a before and after weight loss pic of Maria I found on some blog.

Fans send in Robin Quivers song parodies by the dozens each day. Earlier this week, one sampled "Paradise City".
Re: The Howard Stern Thread
Artie Lange ppeared on Fox Sports Radio the other night with Nick DiPaolo. A caller called in and said he'd love to hear him on Stern again. Artie agreed, but said he put them in a very awkward position.
Here's the Howard 100 News Update on the story, via twitter.

Artie Lange would love to return to Stern show
Comic says he still loves everyone on show, but knows he put them in tough position
By Marianne Garvey
Let's hope we can call this the makings of a comeback.
Word started to spread late last night--Artie Lange was live on the radio.
The beloved comic and former Howard Stern sidekick, who's been lying low (with the exception of one Comedy Cellar appearance last September) since his heartbreaking suicide attempt in January 2010, visited his comedian pal Nick DiPaolo on Fox Sports Radio for three glorious hours Wednesday.
Opening up about his troubled past, Lange was as sweet and captivating as ever, sharing his thoughts on such wide-ranging topics from his newfound sobriety to the Casey Anthony verdict.
So what did the scruffy comic reveal?
First those familiar food habits.
Although he's been rehabbing, Lange hasn't kicked that famous junk food habit he used to discuss at great length to the delight of Stern fans (cupcakes, pizza and his mom's famous Italian cooking were diet staples). Not even a half-hour into the show, a hysterical Artie complained it was so hot he was going to pass out, but was drinking a milkshake to "stay cool."
Among his many revelations, Lange said he'd gotten sober at the Ambrosia rehab center in Florida. He even gave a shout out to his counselor, identified as Dottie, who helped him kick his drug and booze habit at the Singer Island facility.
"I've been in more rehabs than Larry King's had wives," he cracked in his familiar gruff voice.
As much as we wanted to hear every detail about what Lange's been up to, he did have to actually talk some sports when former New York Yankee pitcher Goose Gossage called in as the first guest. Lange, a huge sports fan, was always the one to fill Stern (who prefers watching Dancing With the Stars) in on any sports facts or trivia.
But then it was on to hot topics, with Lange and DiPaolo discussing the Casey Anthony trial.
"I was outraged by the verdict, I don't think she lied to police," joked Lange, who said he'd "date her in a second."
"I think it would be good publicity," he said.
As for his former gig on "The Howard Stern Show," Lange sounded grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the King of all Media, which he began in 2001. Fans loved Lange for his tales of binging on alcohol and drugs, falling asleep in the studio and raiding the vending machine.
Asked by a caller if he would be returning, Lange said he still loves everyone on the show, but that his troubled past put everyone in an odd position.
"That would be the greatest thing ever," he said. "I was on the greatest show of all time for nine years but I put them in a very awkward situation to say the least. But I love all of them."
A picture posted on thecomicscomic shows a grayer, but more serene looking Lange, who sounded like his old self again. (Listen to the entire three hours here.)
"I'm 30 situps away from the body of a young Mark Hamill," he joked.
He also revealed that he was working on a new book filled with new "crazy stories."
The comic, who hasn't hit the airwaves since his breakdown last year, said he may show up to DiPaolo's comedy gig tonight at Caroline's comedy club in New York. Maybe he'll even give us fans a set of his own?
Either way, we loved hearing him. Welcome back, Artie.

It was great to hear Artie again in those clips, even if it was only a couple minutes. He seemed sharp as ever. I hope he can come back to the Stern show, at the very least, as a guest. Sounds like they have a ways to go though.
Re: The Howard Stern Thread
That is true. It's kind of an awkward situation too. Howard is currently suing Sirius for monies he feels he's owed according to his contract. If Sirius isn't willing to pay Howard Stern, I don't know how keen they'd be on paying a recovering drug addict who tried to off himself while under contract. I'm sure everyone involved had his best interests in my mind, but it is a business at the end of the day. And the show existed before and after Artie. I'm not sure exactly what he was making, but I'm sure it was a good chunk of change. If they can continue the show without shelling out that extra dough, I'm sure they'd rather it that way.
I know a lot of my friends have actually canceled their subscriptions to Sirius over the last year or so, and many say the show isn't nearly as good as it used to be. I can't really argue with that, but it's still the best show of its kind on radio by far. It makes all the driving to and from work much more enjoyable for me. I guess my point is, unless they've lost a significant amount of subscribers since Artie's departure and they can link it to that, I don't see them hiring him again.
I'd still love for him to come in as a guest at least though on a few occasions. Maybe this appearance will show Howard that he's ready for that, at the very least.
Re: The Howard Stern Thread
I'm not really sure how many years Stern has left on his contract, but the satellite thing is dead, and he knows it.
I think as soon as they're done with that, they'll take the show exclusively to the internet (which is the future for radio imo), and Artie will be back.
