Hall of Fame Horninsky 😕🎤🎵

On Monday, April 20, 2026, on the Howard Stern SiriusXM satellite radio show, he bloviated about how a journalist [Malina Saval, who worked for the Jerusalem Post], wrote an article for Rolling Stone digital magazine about how Howard Stern should be recognized by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because Ed Sullivan is receiving the "Ahmet Ertegun" award this year, posthumously.

So, apparently, Howard Stern needs to be honored for introducing musical performers to the mainstream public like Ed did even though Ed was on TELEVISION and Stern was a DJ on free radio years ago and now is a talk show host on pay radio. It doesn't add up, does it. 

Howard did have a stint as a cable TV talk show host on the E!Channel in 1992/93, "The Howard Stern Interview", interviewing a slovenly disgruntled Grace Slick who was desperate to dart off to catch her plane. The show was quickly yanked off the cable network.

As blogged about many times, Howard resurrected his solo interview segment from the E!Channel on his rarely live Sirius satellite radio show, 'The Howard Stern Interview", and it's as boring as you can imagine garnering zero new subs for Sirius.

So, here we go with Howard getting his little publicity puff piece in Rolling Stone magazine online, because his agent sends out press releases seeing who will print them at cost, when it costs Howard an arm and a leg to get these puff pieces printed.

As also blogged about numerous times, Howard has bugged his boss Jennifer Witz for a third channel dedicated to music, which he has failed to get, so he uses Howard 100 for his talk radio show and Howard 101 for reruns of his show and musical guests and specials. He thinks that since he is now on pay radio, he can pay for any award he can get but so far, he wants Sirius to pay and they refuse.

Ahmet Ertegun signed Led Zeppelin 

to Atlantic Records

This Rolling Stone Hall of Fame 'Ahmet Ertegun' award that Ed Sullivan is getting this year was named after the legendary co-founder and President of Atlantic Records, who famously signed LED ZEPPELIN to the label in 1968. 

Peter Grant and Jimmy Page wanted only the 'Cadillac of music labels" to launch Led Zeppelin, which was the highest paid contract amount at that time period with any record label prior to Led Zeppelin. After hearing their demo tapes in 1968, Ahmet immediately had Jimmy Page sign on that famous dotted line and the rest is history.

Led Zeppelin officially signed with Atlantic Records on 

November 11, 1968.  The contract, signed by Jimmy Page and 

Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun in New York, was a major

deal for the time, providing a $200,000 advance and paving the 

way for the release of their debut album shortly after. This is why

the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame instituted the legendary "Ahmet Ertegun"

award because he had the expertise and foresight to recognize

what would become the world's greatest rock band of all time.

Atlantic Records honored Led Zeppelin with numerous gold records
with them now being reclassed to the higher platinum levels.

Howard Horninsky Doesn't Qualify for any Hall of Fame Awards

Howard is desperate to horn in on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but he doesn't fit into any category. He doesn't even qualify in the DJ category.

Tom Donahue was inducted because he was not just a radio DJ, he was a record producer and concert promoter. Alan Freed was also inducted and he was a concert promoter, not just a DJ. He did get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, something Howard's harranged Boss Witz about for years but Sirius refuses to pay for it. Andy Cohen got his star but BravoTV paid for it and gee, Stern is not on TV is he. HAHAHAHAHA.

Alan Freed was involved with a payola scandal involving bribes from record companies and was convicted of tax evasion. Gee, if that alleged lawsuit from the Sterns' assistant Leslie Kuhn moves forward to a jury trial, Howard may have something in common with Freed as Stern hopes to be freed from all hostile environmental charges brought about by Kuhn. I mean, that horrible Hamptons house is overrun with ants, termites, you name it and it's an environmental hazard along with feral felines desperate to escape from Stalag Beth.

But Howard hardly qualifies for the Ahmet Ertegun award anyway. All Howard's produced in the last quarter of a century is his own 60th birthday party and an HBO special in conjunction with SiriusXM that taped his interview with The Boss who should've hung up that guitar years ago and and stop boring people with his tired old songs that remain the same. That interview failed to get any recognition or award nominations. So how that qualifies Stern to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a mystery because all he does is introduce a bunch of musicians and nonmusicians trolling around Sirius looking for any radio host to plug their latest project to paying subscribers.

And the winner is, Becoming Led Zeppelin

Howard's Working Vacation to Make Beth Famous 👱‍♀️😮🎤😳

On March 30, 2026, Beth Stern was a guest on her hubby Howard Stern's stale satellite radio show to promote her upcoming book about a cat and a rabbit called "Coco and Stephen" and she was going to do an audiobook which is a joke since that book is mainly all illustrations and little dialogue but then it saves Howard some money. Oh, but of course the people voicing the characters will not be paid due to it being all for charity, namely, all proceeds go into Beth's Birkin Bag where her foundation Beth's Furry Friend's leaves her holding the bag. [Ref: BFP 4-2-26 about Beth's audiobook discussion during the Stern show.]

So, every year at this time, Howard Stern takes a week off on vacation. Let that sink in for a moment because now you know the timing of Beth using Sirius audio equipment to record the audiobook for her children's book "Coco & Stephen" and do her book promotion with Zoom interviews, so Howard is working during his time off to make Beth famous once again. 

Howard gave the impression that he could record the audiobook during his regularly scheduled work days, but now it seems that he had to wait until his vacation to work on their book that benefits the Sterns' foundation. The thing is, Beth appears to be in the Hamptons working on her book promotion because the Sterns like to confuse their fan and any aberrant former personal assistants of their exact location to avoid any alleged subpoenas. Beth's book is scheduled to be released on May 5th, to detract from the annual Met Gala, wherein Beth is snubbed every year so Howard has to come up with some promotional item for Beth, like a book or calendar or merchandize so Beth can appear to snub the Met Gala as if she's too busy when the Met Gala has never met Beth.

Once again Howard takes time off to make Beth famous. She was doing the audiobook tapings and now is doing Zoom interviews, whatever that means, but one wonders if she now wants her own podcast on the Stern Show. 

Another Spring Break

Howard already had time off for spring break, but it seems the Beth O family are taking over their Florida flophouse because Beth likes to brag and show off how famous she is, so she's pretending to be busy with her book promotion. This is usually an annual event when the O Family invades the Florida Fortress and Howard escapes back to NY.

O Family hand-me-down? Beth wore a daisy bikini in 2021 and now her
niece sports a similar one.

Another O Family visit with Beth's toadying sister-in-law Amy Grets
and her daughter. Normally with the O Family invasion, Howard
hikes back to New York.

Bella Urns It

It's really strange how Beth showed off a special urn for her cat Bella who just died, because all her personal pets get cremated and thrown into that giant urn in the master bedroom at their Hamptons home. It's common knowledge, Beth has said this, all the animals get dumped into that huge urn, only her personal pets, not the faux feline fosters who may happen to cross the rainbow bridge. So this is very strange that Bella earns her own personal purse size urn. Maybe Beth can take it around on her book tour for sympathy sales even though the book's about Coco the cat and Stephen the rabbit, unless Bella makes an appearance in the book. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

All of Beth's pets used to end up in this urn. See the BFP 9-12-17 and 7-15-23.

So, Beth carts Bella the cat from the Hamptons where she's lived her whole life with the Sterns, then transports her to Florida where she apparently died and now she has her little urn in Florida.

Cash Crisis at Oceanview 🐬🏖️🩴💦

In an online article dated April 7, 2026, from The News Digital, they stated that Beth and Howard Stern's assistant Leslie Kuhn, has filed a complaint against them while engaged in their employment at their Southampton estate they called "Oceanview" due to an alleged hostile environment created by both Howard and Beth Stern. 

That Hamptons sinkhole should be called the 'Titanic' because Stern's sinking ship is reportedly flooded so many times that Howard sits in a boat and keeps a lifejacket close by in the basement with his desk and equipment on risers.

Excerpts:

"According to the court documents obtained by the outlet, Leslie [Kuhn] stated that she was promoted as an executive assistant of Howard in January 2024 but just a few months later in May, the couple asked her to relocate to their 20,000 square-foot mansion, called Oceanview, in Southampton, New York for work." ...  "On February 26, One Twelve’s Vice President of Finance, Mark D. Garten, told her about her firing because of “downsizing or the elimination of a position."

https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/1398048-howard-stern-wife-beth-ostrosky-stern-face-chilling-legal-trouble

So, the reason this staff person Leslie was fired, was because Howard  was forced to downsize and eliminate her position by his financial advisor. No one does this if they are flush with cash when the Stern Show should be flushed. But, Howard's reversal of fortune was apparent, with his SiriusXM Boss Jennifer Witz already reducing his live shows from three to two days per week, leaving Howard floundering for cash, especially since he's trying to sell that Hamptons sinkhole but is getting reportedly embarrassingly low offers. So no wonder he is now firing staff at that Hamptons house called 'Oceanview' with that ocean view sinking fast in the horizon as the house sinks into a sandpit.

Howard Wants 50m for 'Oceanview'

In a few articles about the complaint Leslie Kuhn lodged against the Sterns, they named the value of his Hamptons sinking ship of $50 million. Howard likes these articles to drop in the value he believes that his properties are worth because he has been trying to unload them forever. 

It is more than obvious the Sterns are desperately trying to unload 'Oceanview' and this alleged lawsuit by Kuhn is a catalyst for calling out that the Sterns want to unload that house as is. Plus, on numerous occasions Howard has told his satellite radio show audience that he was cleaning out his storage facility and stuffing stuff in his garages with Beth dragging carpets down the stairs to be thrown out with the rest of that stuff Howard wants to unload because it's apparent they have been prepping the house for sale.

As already blogged about, Howard's already being downsized and moved out of his Manhattan Man Cave [Ref: BFP 10-1-25 with references to the prior blog entries about Stern escaping from NYC]. Howard's Florida house is on the market and Howard admitted Jeff Bezos stopped by and Beth hosted his visit and showed him around but he did not offer enough for the place and then Howard joked that it wasn't true about the offer. Yes, Howard confirmed Bezos was at his Florida home but that the offer was a rumor that no one knew about before Howard started the rumor himself. But Bezos selected a much more private estate away from where the Sterns live [Ref: BFP 11-9-24].

Sterns Face a Precedent

According to published articles online, Leslie Kuhn is seeking a court order declaring the nondisclosure agreement (NDA) at the center of the dispute invalid, and that the Sterns allegedly created a hostile work environment so it's not fair that they can trash her and she can't trash them due to the NDA. The case is somewhat sort of similar to a lawsuit filed by Robert De Niro’s former assistant, who was awarded $1.3 million after a gender discrimination and retaliation trial. In that case, she aired accusations that De Niro subjected her to vulgar comments and assigned her domestic duties, like buttoning his shirt and washing his sheets, despite her lofty executive title as a vice-president of production and finance. 

Sterns Copy the Maid Episode 

from I Love Lucy

Apparently, the Sterns' current lawsuit stunt is just them copying from the 'I Love Lucy' episode when Lucy is overworked after having a baby, so Ricky has her hire a maid. Beth is so overworked pretending those foster felines are her children, cradling them in her arms, posing for selfies as if she's a worn out new mother so she needs a maid and all around gopher.

But Lucy Ricardo's maid was a bully who did practically nothing but clean out her refrigerator and boss Lucy around, making her eat only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with water, while the maid ate all the chicken and other good stuff in the fridge. Lucy was going bankrupt just from feeding that maid every day which apparently is what Kuhn was doing. 

Kuhn was supposedly cleaning out the cat cages while cleaning out the fridge, hogging the food and clothing budget, the car budget, and running amok and the Sterns were afraid to confront her and fire her. So, instead, the Sterns staged a hostile work environment to get her to quit, then presented her with an NDA signed with an autopen that was a part of her severance package. Gee, was Joe Biden Howard's finance officer? Hahahahahaha.

The Sterns hired a live-in assistant but soon learn that they are working for her
and not the other way around. So they had to devise a way to get rid of
their surly assistant that was draining their bank accounts.

The Sterns could no longer afford to keep Leslie, their surly assistant, and were
afraid of firing her. So, Beth decides to make the working conditions unbearable
and messes up her house on purpose so Leslie would be overwhelmed and
consider it a hostile work environment and quit her job. It worked, Leslie quit
her job only to find out that she'd already been fired by Howard's financial adviser.

Run Rabbit Run

Beth has been a busy bee uploading unseen photos to her Instagram show from OLD photoshoots, pretending they are current photos when they are not. She always does her own selfie fashion shows because for over a decade she's been snubbed from New York Fashion Week so she does her own fashion shows from her own cat closets at her residences because she has nothing to do and nowhere to go but wait for some photo op to dump some cats in a parking lot onto other feline foster parents pretending they are real adoptions.

Lawsuit Loveset

In the midst of their financial fiasco at 'Oceanview', Beth stages a Lawsuit Loveset at her Florida Fortress to prove they don't care about that legal ploy when the photo is as fake as Leslie Kuhn's NDA. It's a desperate attempt to appear like they are not working on responding to allegations from Leslie Kuhn, so Beth pretends that Howard is with her in Florida when he's in NYC. You can see the edges of the photo on the right side where I drew the red line. Beth has it on a marble countertop or propped up against a marble backdrop to take the picture pretending it's a current selfie when it isn't.

Howard hasn't worn that old hat since 2019 [he wore a

similar one in 2024], but Beth's wearing old

Valentine's Day jewelry.

Beth took a picture of an old picture to pretend Howard is 

currently with her in Florida when he's not.
