Howard Stern said on Monday that he’d love to have exercise guru Richard Simmons on his show to “get to the bottom” of why he dropped out of sight. But so far, Simmons has turned down his invites.
The “Sweatin’ to the Oldies” star, who hasn’t made a public appearance since 2013, alarmed fans last week when a tweet of his implied he was dying. The 75-year-old later clarified that his tweet was not to be taken literally and that he was in good health (since everyone is technically always one day closer to their inevitable death).
After Stern discussed the incident, his producer Gary Dell’Abate said he’d been corresponding with Simmons, who is a friend.
“I wrote to Richard, not for airtime for the radio, and I’m not gonna talk about what we discussed, but I did confirm that I was corresponding with him. Because, you know,...

Howard Stern has been one of the most controversial – and revered – figures in the history of modern media. With a passion for the field as a child, Stern’s climb to the top of the radio world truly began in the ‘80s. And he did it off of his unique, button-pressing, FCC-clashing brand and humor: the boobs, the prank calls, the Wack Pack, all of it all made Howard Stern one of the most recognizable figures in all of media. And so as his markets grew and his written word topped the charts – but long before his first $500 million contract with Sirius – it was time for Stern to enter the movie business…with something a little more commercially viable than Butt Bongo Fiesta.

An emotional Stern made the announcement today on his SiriusXM radio show. Stern said Cirella’s “heart gave out” Tuesday morning during a procedure as he was being treated for the lymphoma.
“I just have been so sad and so angry,” Stern continued. “He didn’t take care of himself.”
“I will miss him terribly,” Stern said on the episode largely devoted to remembrances of Cirella, adding “I can’t believe we’re saying it, but this guy was my man and he’s like the brother I never had.”

Howard Stern’s fear of Covid has begun to spark arguments between him and his wife, Beth Ostrosky.
Last week, the radio host candidly recalled a recent fight they had about his concern over a new Covid strain on SiriusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show”. He admitted he’s been “paranoid” and “neurotic” about the virus.
When a caller asked if Stern is concerned about the risk that comes with returning to the studio amid the late summer’s surge of cases, he confessed he’s “going crazy with this.”
“My wife yelled at me last night. We got into a fight.”
“You know how paranoid I am about getting Covid. I haven’t gotten it, and I’m pretty safe, and I really don’t want to get it,” he said. “Everyone goes, ‘Don’t worry, it’s just a cold for me.’ It’ll probably be way worse.

Director, producer and screenwriter Jason Reitman, son of director Ivan Reitman, is paying tribute to his late father’s dear friend, writer-producer Daniel Goldberg, who died today at 74. Goldberg was a writer and/or producer on several of Ivan Reitman’s films and a father figure to Jason. Here is his first-person remembrance.
Dan Goldberg is the writer and producer of some of your favorite films. He made a career of dangerous outsider comedies that often-challenged comfort zones, yet he was one of the kindest and most gentle souls I’ve ever known. This morning, he passed away in Los Angeles.
Dan and my father met at McMaster University in 1966. By the time they graduated, they founded a film society, made several short films with classmate Eugene Levy, and shot a short film that received national distribution. Additionally, they financed and completed a feature adaptation of My Secret Life, for...

The 42-year-old joked that he would “absolutely” love to have a baby with the newly-single Swift in an interview on “The Howard Stern Show” on Monday. Cannon is shooting his shot here for baby no. 13, which just so happens to be Swift’s legendary lucky number.
Cannon is already a father to 12 children by six different mothers.
In his appearance with Howard Stern and co-host Robin Quivers, Cannon was asked whether he’s done having kids.
“Every time I answer this question – I can never answer it correctly because I don’t know,” the “Masked Singer” host admitted with a laugh.
“I’m happy currently with the [children] that I got,” he continued, noting that any future baby mommas would “have to be amazing.”

During his radio show on Monday, Howard Stern criticized Oprah Winfrey for “showing off” her lavish lifestyle on social media and lacking self-awareness for those less fortunate.
Winfrey’s net worth is estimated to be 2.5 billion. The talk-show mogul routinely posts her expansive estate, including its massive garden that Stern referred to as a farm.
In August, Winfrey posted a video pushing Gayle King‘s grandson through her garden. In the caption, she wrote, “First Harvest Day and garden adventure for Luca and my first time pushing a stroller.” In the video Winfrey says pushing a stroller is “new territory” for her.
Stern said Winfrey has “gotta be a little self-aware and know there are people struggling out there.” He expressed disgust for her showing off that “she’s got servants and like people cooking” for her.
“I don’t think that people should show off their wealth,” Stern said,...

Howard Stern has shared some harsh judgements of Oprah Winfrey, concerning her “wealth” and how she displays it.
Over the holiday weekend, the former Oprah Winfrey Show host shared a few videos from her home where she had lunch with Abbott Elementary creator and star Quinta Brunson.
In the background of the clips, a portion of Winfrey’s beautiful home and garden can be seen.
“Oprah’s not embarrassed by her wealth at all,” Stern said on Monday’s (28 November) episode of his self-titled radio show, The Howard Stern Show. “She loves showing it off on Instagram. It’s f***ing mindblowing when you follow her on Instagram, you see her estates, her gardens, the people who service her.”
His co-host Robin Quivers joked: “Service her? She’s not a car.”
“Well, she kind of is,” Stern responded. “She’s got servants and like people cooking and it’s f***king wild.

Howard Stern built his reputation by saying shocking things on the microphone. But his latest shocking comment making the rounds was broadcast accidentally. After recording an episode of his Sirius Xm radio show, Stern and his co-host Robin Quivers talk about summer plans, unaware that their mics were still going. Under the sound of ads and promotional music, listeners caught Stern referring to a fan-favorite character.
In a clip circulating on Twitter, Stern is griping about his upcoming schedule when Robin asks if he’ll be working over the summer. “I told you, I’m doing Doctor Doom,” Stern responds, followed by conversation too muddled to make out. One can clearly hear Stern reference the variety show America’s Got Talent, for which he served as a judge, and the phrase “I’m an asshole,” which could refer to either his character on a Doom project or his general dissatisfaction with his workload.

Howard Stern called out Johnny Depp for “overacting” while Depp testified against Amber Heard during the former couple’s defamation trial, which has been livestreamed on various platforms since April 11. Depp is suing Heard for defamation after she alluded to their alleged abusive relationship in an op-ed piece written for The Washington Post. Heard’s legal team reportedly tried to block cameras from livestreaming the trial, which was approved by Judge Penney Azcarate. Depp’s team did not publicly challenge the decision.
“The reason he wanted that on — he wanted it televised [because] that’s what narcissists do,” Stern said of Depp while discussing the trial on his SiriusXM radio show (via Mediaite). “They think they can talk their way out of anything.

George Clooney has long been vocal about his much derided brush with playing the Caped Crusader in Joel Schumacher’s “Batman & Robin.” From the perhaps too anatomically correct Batsuit to the movie’s wild swings in tone, the 1997 sequel to “Batman Forever” is universally regarded as a flop.
Clooney recently reflected again on what a disaster the movie personally was for him during a new episode of “The Howard Stern Show” (via Deadline). Clooney sat down with Stern and his co-host Robin Quivers to discuss his new film “The Midnight Sky” on Netflix, among other wide-ranging topics. Though at the time of the release of “Batman & Robin” Clooney was hot off “ER,” which he starred in through 1999, the Batman film was meant to be his big break onto the big screen.
“It’s so bad that it actually hurts to watch,” Clooney said on the show. “It physically hurts.

Howard Stern and SiriusXM have announced a new agreement under which the broadcaster will continue to produce and host The Howard Stern Show for SiriusXM for the next five years, and the Howard Stern archive of audio and video will continue to be licensed to SiriusXM for an additional seven years. Stern revealed the news on today’s broadcast.
Stern, who is 66, has grown on the air from the derogatory term “shock jock” into an influential and enlightened broadcaster who does superb interviews, whether he’s talking to politicians or entertainers, and takes stands on important issues from Covid 19, to Trump policies, racism, homophobia and sexism. I am curious about whether he will take on another issue, and a porn website I’ve heard him mention. That is Pornhub, which like another of his go-to sites, Youporn, is a pornography website.

She has partnered with iHeartRadio to coproduce an original podcast series, set to debut sometime in the second quarter, in the midst of the 2020 presidential race and just before the summer party conventions.

More information on format, guests, series length and launch date is expected in the coming weeks, according to an iHeartMedia spokesperson.
According to Politico, which first reported the news of the series, the show will feature her in conversation with a brand-name guest. The search also is on for “a Robin Quivers-like sidekick,” according to the site, and she has already hired two podcast veterans, Kathleen Russo and Julie Subrin, to produce.

Just days after the Highwomen played their first full show at the Newport Folk Festival late last month, the country supergroup of Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Natalie Hemby and Amanda Shires were guests on Howard Stern’s Sirius Xm show, where they performed a commanding rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s Seventies classic, “The Chain.”
Shires’ chilling fiddle work accentuates the song’s desolate themes of heartache and anger and the singers’ four-part vocals add even more intensity to this women-only version, with instrumental support from Jason Isbell and brothers Phil and Tim Hanseroth.

Vying for the heart of Howard Stern co-host Robin Quivers isn’t for the weak. So “American Idol” alum Jackie Tohn, who stars in the Netflix wrestling comedy “Glow,” threw herself into the ring, recruiting Stern song parody veteran Eli Bradon for a pair of parodies that had Stern and his SiriusXM listeners in stitches.
Tohn’s two collaborations with Braden — raunchy love songs to Quivers set to Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s sultry duet of “Shallow” from “A Star is Born,” and a positively filthy take on Cher’s “Believe” — both received big praise from Stern, who said the “Shallow” duet, which encouraged Quivers to try hooking up with girls, gave him “chills.”
“Fred is tearing up right now,” he laughed.
Getting the song on the show, Tohn said, and having Stern give her a big plug was one of the “biggest highlights of my career,” she tells Variety.

Howard Stern opened up about a cancer scare, vented about an ill-fated interview with Robin Williams and defended Jimmy Fallon for ruffling Donald Trump’s hair during a lengthy Tonight Show interview. The radio host was on-hand Wednesday to promote his newly issued book, Howard Stern Comes Again, which blends career-highlight interviews with memoir-styled commentary.
Early in the 14-minute segment, Stern admitted that his near-brush with cancer inspired him to reflect on his life in written form.

Lizzo delivered an acoustic version of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s A Star is Born duet, “Shallow,” for Sirius Xm Hits 1 on Tuesday. The singer nailed both artists’ parts during her performance.
Backed by a guitarist, Lizzo’s live take found the singer grooving to the melody before leaning in to the mic for her potent rendition. Working her way through the tune while gesticulating for emphasis and with eyes closed, Lizzo traversed the tender early refrains before building to emote the gritty. high note-laden and climactic final verses.

ESPN Films’ 20-hour, six-week documentary “Basketball: A Love Story” more resembles a modern rom-com than your typical documentary. Rather than a chronological history lesson, it’s an episodic collection of anecdotes and stories that in some ways have more in common with “Love, Actually” than Ken Burns’ completist “Baseball.”
The film weaves through the heartbreaking story of paralyzed player Maurice Stokes and his dedicated teammate Jack Twyman to the bitter women’s basketball rivalry of Tennessee’s Pat Summit and Connecticut’s Geno Auriemma to tales of UCLA’s rise, the Dream Team, the Magic/Bird rivalry, the Aba and the emergence of international stars in the NBA with plenty of stops in-between.
“My film is not a history of basketball, because 20 hours is not even close to long enough,” says director Dan Klores. “But it’s historical so there is a lot of stuff that is not obvious. I...

Quentin Tarantino is apologizing to Roman Polanski’s rape victim after claiming she “wanted” to have sex with the French-Polish director in resurfaced audio.

In a recently unearthed 2003 interview with Howard Stern, Quentin Tarantino made it clear that he does not believe Roman Polanski is a rapist. During the interview, which was recently unearthed by Jezebel, Stern confronted Tarantino with audio recorded by his roving reporter Gary Garver, who Tarantino had told in an interview that it was “pretty cool actually” that Polanski had recently won the Best Directing Oscar for “The Pianist,” and that he didn’t consider the Academy Award winner a rapist.
In 1977, film director Roman Polanski was arrested and charged with raping 13-year-old Samantha Geimer — the five specific charges were rape by use of drugs, perversion, sodomy, lewd and lascivious act upon a child under 14, and furnishing a controlled substance to a minor. Polanski pled guilty in exchange for a lesser charge of engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse, but in 1978 fled the country upon learning that he was likely to face imprisonment and deportation.

George Takei has issued an official statement on his Facebook page apologizing for comments he made about sexual assault during an October interview with Howard Stern. During the taping of Stern’s SiriusXM radio show, Takei was asked whether or not he had ever grabbed a man’s genitals against his will, to which he said “uh oh” and laughed. When Stern and co-host Robin Quivers suggested that Takei “persuaded” men to let him touch them and asked if these encounters occurred at work, Takei responded, “It was either in my home. They came to my home.”

When it comes to dating Scarlett Johansson, it's complicated.
The 32-year-old actress appeared on Howard Stern's Sirius Xm show on Monday, where she was pressed about her newly single status, after filing for divorce from her husband, French journalist Romain Dauriac, earlier this month. Johansson said she worries less about her fame getting in the way of dating again, as opposed to how it will affect her daughter, 2-year-old Rose.
"I'm on guard because I have a young daughter," Johansson said, agreeing with co-host Robin Quivers that she would never introduce her daughter to just anyone. "That's something I'm more concerned about."

Jamie Lee Curtis is standing up for her Freaky Friday costar Lindsay Lohan.
The Scream Queens actress posted an Instagram message on Friday in support of Lohan, after audio resurfaced of Donald Trump‘s 2004 appearance on The Howard Stern Show in which the Republican presidential nominee suggested a then 18-year-old Lohan is “deeply troubled and therefore great in bed.”
“How come the deeply troubled women, you know, deeply, deeply troubled, they’re always the best in bed?” Trump asked Stern. “It’s just unbelievable. You don’t want to be with them for long term, but for the short term there’s nothing like it.

Donald Trump made lewd comments about Lindsay Lohan during a 2004 appearance on The Howard Stern Show, according to a CNN KFile review.
The presidential hopeful initiated the conversation, asking Stern what he thinks of the then 18-year-old actress. “I think she’s hot,” Stern responded.
“There’s something there right?” said Trump. “But you have to like freckles. I’ve seen a, you know, close up of her chest and a lot of freckles. Are you into freckles?”
Stern answered that he is “not into freckles” and later asked Trump if he could imagine “having sex” with the “troubled teen.

Artie Lange has never been known for holding back -- but in a new interview with sports broadcaster Kirk Minihan, the former Howard Stern Show sidekick was perhaps the most honest I've ever heard him regarding his eight years on the show and eventual estrangement from the King of All Media. When I spoke to Lange last April, the comedian -- who during his height on the series made around $3 million a year on the standup circuit -- sounded g enuinely remorseful about the chain of self-destructive behavior that led to his January 2010 suicide attempt and eventual dismissal from the series, claiming Howard was just "looking out" for him when he made the decision not to invite him back. But in the interview with Minihan, the comedian comes off significantly more resentful, not only taking issue with the more celebrity-friendly direction the show has taken since his departure but voicing his frustration with Stern's seeming unwillingness to reestablish contact. None of which is to say that Lange isn't doing better. Following a two-and-a-half month stay at a Florida rehab facility to kick a heroin addiction in 2011, he eventually returned to standup, hosted a SiriusXM radio series, released a bestselling memoir (his second), started a podcast and was cast as himself for a multi-episode gig on the Judd Apatow-produced HBO comedy series Crashing starring Pete Holmes. And yet there is still clearly some lingering hurt over what he seems to feel is Stern's near-complete disavowal of him in the years since his departure. For those interested, below are a few Stern-related highlights from the wide-ranging conversation, which you can listen to in full here. 1. About a month into his Stern Show gig, he believed Howard was going to fire him. "One day Gary, and then Howard, pulled me aside after the show and said, 'listen, the jokes aren't working out that you're writing for Howard,'" he recounted. "And I said, 'f---, I'm getting fired, or not -- I wasn't even hired yet...[but] instead they said, 'we're just gonna keep your mic on all the time...if you say something funny, just say it as you. It's funnier when you say it, cause you're good with your own voice.' ...In a sense, I became a third host of the show because I sucked at writing the jokes." 2. He takes umbrage when people claim Howard didn't help him at the height of his problems. "He didn't know the extent of it. There's no way he could've. And you know, I get mad when people say Howard didn't help me. He did. I mean, people didn't know what happened off the air. I mean, Howard got me a therapist through his therapist, he got me into rehab. Howard at one point said, this came out on the air, he said, 'look, go take as much time as you need to get better. When you come back, you have a job.' What else could you ask a boss to say?" 3. He believes that the show, rather than Howard himself, enabled his issues. "Nobody individually was an enabler, but the show life itself was. Because I knew that the setup that I had helped create, the new sort of version of the show that was in part my creation, was [that] everything could be a joke...one time, I told Gary I need 18 days, or 28 days to go to rehab in Florida. After eight days, I left and I went to...Miami and I got a suite and I called the show with a stripper in the room with the room service guy bringing up Jack Daniels at 8 in the morning. And we made a half an hour bit about it." 4. He believes his dismissal was in part due to Howard's discomfort with the listeners' constant focus on his issues. "Every caller eventually would want to talk about me, just because I was the only one living that kind of interesting life off the air. I was a comedian with a drug addiction doing standup on the road and partying like that. Obviously people would call and go, 'what happened with Artie this weekend?' And I think Howard rightfully so though that was getting a little much. It just sort of organically happened, there was no way to stop it. It was a monster rolling. And eventually it hit a mountain, because it had to." 5. He believes Howard had already decided to take the show in a different direction prior to his departure. "I think Howard, in his mind, already had the changes he wanted to make that the show has become now in his head, and quite frankly, neither one of us would've thought I would've fit into that. [...] Like [last year's] interview with Gwyneth Paltrow, who in Gwyneth Paltrow's life is gonna let me within a foot of her?" 6. He can understand some fans' frustration with the show's more Hollywood-friendly direction in recent years. "Howard is 62 years old, and I think he just evolved into something different. And I think he subconsciously, or very consciously, wants to leave behind an amazing library of celebrity interviews, which he's great at doing. The only issue I think that I agree with that the fans might have is, that it sorta seemed like he was just duping everybody for a long time. It always seemed like he was goofing on show business because he hated it and was really rebellious. And it sorta seems now like he just wanted to be a part of it. ...I'm the kind of Stern show guy, both being a fan and being on the show, [who] would rather goof on Jennifer Aniston's new husband rather than be friends with him. ...At the same time, I think the fans should be appreciative of what he gave them for so many years, and respect the fact that he changed. And he's got a right to do that." 7. He doesn't believe he'll ever be asked back to the show as a guest. "It'll never happen....look, if he asked me to do it, I would go because he deserves -- I would do anything Howard asked me to do, because I was brought up by a guy who would tell me, 'look, that motherf---er gave you a job when you needed it and you know, I don't give a s--- what has happened, if he asks you a favor, you do it -- not that it would be a favor...Howard is responsible for almost everything I have in my life post-Mad TV. And I would go. But I know he wouldn't do it. He'll never ask me -- it's very weird." 8. The last time he spoke to Howard was during co-host Robin Quivers' hospital stay in 2012. "The last time I actually spoke to Howard was in the hospital room with Robin. Robin had just gotten her operation, I'm gonna say 2012. I went to go see Robin, because I always had a special relationship with her. I love Robin, she was always very generous to me...It was spontaneous, I didn't know Howard was gonna be there. But I walked in and it was Howard and her, and I hadn't seen Howard since the day I left the show, before I stabbed myself [during his 2010 suicide attempt]. And he...it was as if I saw him two minutes ago. He said, you know, 'we gotta make Robin laugh.' That's what he said to me. So we put everything aside for that, and just really spoke as if we were on the air, for an hour. We just laughed like crazy. And it was like nothing ever happened. And then Howard said, 'I gotta leave.' And I gave him a hug and I said 'you know, I'm sorry for everything, man.' And he goes, 'how are you doing? I said 'I'm all right, I'm working again.' And he goes, 'well that's good, I'll see ya'...and I haven't talked to him since." 9. He believes his fate on the show was sealed when he told Howard he looked like a pelican. "When I said the pelican thing, it was over. No one ever said that. And I was out of line, quite frankly. But when he said, 'do you think I look like a pelican?' And I said 'yes,' there was no going back, it was a matter of time." 10. He claims Howard won't return his phone calls. "I called him four times, probably three or four times and left voicemails, and he never called me back. ...I just don't think he wants to deal with me in his life anymore. I think he's got a very complicated life, and I think he's happy I'm okay. But I don't think he's prepared to deal with it anymore. And I understand that, but where I'm pissed off is, you know, we were really tight, on the air and off the air, very very close. We were friends, and went through a lot of battles together. And for a decade I sat two feet from that guy, and we had what some people think are the funniest moments in radio history...and he was the best comedic partner I ever had...and I just think, all that, maybe I earned ten minutes off the air to just let me say in person 'I'm sorry' and hear me out and hug and say goodbye. But that never happened, that closure never happened."...

Cancer was the last diagnosis radio personality Robin Quivers expected when she walked into the hospital in May 2012.
"I was tired," the long-time co-host of Howard Stern's radio show told People Friday at T.J. Martell Foundation's Women of Influence luncheon in New York. "That was the only real symptom."
Quivers first realized something was wrong while she was out of town for a friend's wedding. Instead of attending the wedding, Quivers ended up in the emergency room where doctors told her she had a mass in her pelvis.

Howard Stern fans breathed a sigh of relief this week when it was announced that the self-proclaimed King of All Media had re-signed with Sirius Xm for another five years, promising more great celebrity interviews, Wack Pack hijinks and high-quality phony phone calls well into 2020.

It started innocently enough, with Stern asking Jake if he realized "Good Morning America" had him walk out to one of Swift's songs, "Bad Blood," when he appeared on the morning show earlier this week. "First of all, I did not hear that," Jake replied. "When I'm doing an interview when you're up at 5 a.m. and you can't really make sense of words, you're not thinking about the background music that's playing behind you."

The show must go on, just without Howard Stern. The shock-jock turned reality judge is leaving America's Got Talent after four years.

"NBC's already asked me what my intentions are for next year, whether or not I'd come back, I kind of have told them I think this is my last season. Not I think, this is my last season." Stern said he's spoken to NBC and it was a hard conversation to have. Without Stern, he said the show will move production to Los Angeles. Robin Quivers pressed...
