The Beth Fan Page bombshell of Saturday, March 29, 2025, sent shockwaves through Howard Stern's weave or shockweaves through his permanent wave, when he suddenly and without warning overtly responded to the Beth Fan Page that brought up Ralph Cirella and blogged about him attending the 2000 MTV VMA music awards afterparty with P Diddy and J Lo and other celebs following the awards show.
On Monday, March 31, 2025, on Howard's satellite radio show, he had a caller call in who just happened to bring up Ralph Cirella out of the blue! Wow, what a giant coincidence that the Beth Fan Page just blogged about Ralph on Saturday March 29, 2025.
Ralph died in December 2023, and just now a remote caller out of nowhere just decided to ask about his action figure toy collection. Gee, way to hustle, caller, you're only 14 months too late.
That bombshell blog entry evidently triggered Howard who suddenly had a script all ready to talk about Ralph on Monday's show because Howard seemed desperate to cover his tracks by saying he barely knew the guy!!!
Oh, gee, he was just a guy who he worked with on the old Channel 9 show from 35 years ago and that was it!!! Oh, gee, Howard thinks that maybe he collected action figures and comics but Howard emphasized how he never even stepped foot in Ralph's apartment. OH, Ralph wouldn't let him in! Yeah, sure.
Ralph was on Stern's payroll for about 40 years and later had his own private bedroom suite in Howard's former Manhattan mancave that he sold late last year and was doing major renovations following the death of Ralph and escaped from New York erasing any evidence of any connection between himself and Ralph.
Revisiting Ralph on the Beth Fan Page was relevant because P Diddy now faces charges that he allegedly assaulted a teen at that afterparty in front of witnesses as indicated in recent official court documents yet their identity is protected. Did Ralph witness anything? Did he harbor any photos from that evening that could have been incriminating to the music mogul or his galpal at the time, J Lo?
Now, information has been found on the old Howard Stern fan site called MarksFriggin.com, where Ralph himself confirms he was at that afterparty on September 7, 2000. He phoned into the Stern show on September 11, 2000 and stated he only got into that afterparty due to crowding in with Ben Stiller's people without anyone noticing.
How interesting that Howard just met up with good old Ben at the Justin Theroux Tulum, Mexico, beach wedding on March 15, 2025, and Ben was photographed as part of the wedding party, and Howard claimed that Ben seemed to purposefully ignore him the entire time [for the wedding info, reference the BFP 3-17-25, 3-20-25, and 2 blog entries dated 3-25-25].
Not to worry, Ben, nothing should link you with that afterparty on September 7, 2000, because Howard just emphasized on his 3-31-25 satellite radio show that everything belonging to Ralph has been thrown in a dumpster.
Ralph confirmed that he was at the afterparty at the Lotus Club
for the 2000 MTV VMA music awards show.

Various Stuff. 9/11/00. 6:05am
Howard started off the show talking about last week's drinking show at the MTV Video Music Awards. He spent a few minutes talking about how he blew a .7 on the breathalyzer at the end of the show. Robin doesn't think that was accurate though. Howard and the crew went out to party after the show but Robin got confused and showed up at Howard's apartment for some reason. Jackie said that he pretty much forgot some of the evening. They also replayed video of Benjy puking on Robin at the end of the show. He really did throw up on her but she was so drunk that she just laughed it off.
Howard commented on how bad Jennifer Lopez looked on the awards show also. He said that the outfit she was wearing was just not right for her big fat ass. He said she looked like a hippo.
Jessica Hahn called in to let Howard know that she really enjoyed the show on Friday. She said it was her favorite show out of the 13 years she's been listening.
Ralph called in real quick also. He said that he made it in to this party that Howard was trying to get to. Howard tried getting in to Lotus but gave up after being shoved around by bouncers and a huge crowd. Ralph said he snuck in with Ben Stiller's people without anyone noticing. Howard complained about how annoying Ralph was on the drinking show also. He told Ralph that when he asks him to go away he should just go away. Ralph said he wasn't even saying anything. That doesn't matter to Howard.

Howard said that he ended up going to Scores on Thursday night after the MTV mess. He said he was so happy to go there after the whole thing and had to thank them for making it such a great place to go.

As stated on the March 29, 2025 blog entry, new photos emerged of that afterparty and one guest looked suspicously like Ralph Cirella. Did he see anything that night? Could he have been called by the DA to testify? We will never know because he died in December 2023, P Diddy was detained by authorities in March 2024, and these new photos were just discovered in October 2024 by the Dailymail.co.uk. Don't ask Howard about Ralph on that fateful night resulting in charges now filed against P Diddy, Howard will say, Ralph who?

Howard Deemed Ralph Worthless
Also on Monday's Howard Stern satellite radio show [3-31-25], he talked about Ralph's apartment, his collectible items he had of action figures, comics, and other stuff, and that one of Stern's staff was there to box and catalogue all the items. Howard claimed that the auction site eBay basically hung up on them wanting nothing to do with Ralph's items that Howard wanted to sell and get some money for the 'family' [ha ha ha].
Of course this makes no sense, as anyone can sell just about anything they want on eBay, unless it was something that Howard wanted to connect with a CHARITY - namely, his wife Beth Stern's charitable foundation called, what else, Beth's Furry Friends. YES, Howard apparently left that part out of his story on Monday's show.
Apparently, alleged reports confirm that Howard in fact tried to set up a special charitable auction of Ralph's collectible action figures and other memorabilia and his comic book collection, and even Howard's collectibles that he had in storage for years and had them moved to an undisclosed location, to benefit their own selfie foundation. Howard was reportedly miffed at Mommy Cirella who refused to go along with the 'donation' to Beth's foundation. I mean, who would agree to give BETH money that goes directly into her Birkin Bag?
That's why Howard dissed Ralph and dumped his stuff in a dumpster deeming everything in Ralph's life as worthless. That whole conversation about Ralph was bizarre because Howard has to cover his tracks and infer he barely knew the guy, this is after over 40 years of their friendship, suddenly, Howard wants to erase the history of Ralph 'The Rat' Cirella from having any connection with the big cheese Howard Stern. [Beth had a little rat cat toy she had on her IG show called 'Ralphie the Rat' - yeah, that Ralph.]
