Toxic Tour 📚📔 😱😮😲

Interesting how the press is reporting about Howard and Beth Stern being sued over an alleged hostile work environment as specified in a complaint against the Power Hungry Couple by their alleged assistant Leslie Kuhn, that now Howard decides to fund a book tour for Beth to deflect from those accusations and portray Beth as a do-gooder when all she does is pocket donated funds to fund her regular Botox bump-ups, eyelifts, and gallons of spray tan.

Beth has not been on a stale book tour for ELEVEN YEARS, since her Yoda & Buddy book tour in 2015, which was a massive failure, getting her standard appearance at Sirius to promote the book and a few other places like COSTCO discount warehouse for a book signing.

So this time, Beth is hawking another loser children's book about nothing, but Howard had to change it up because Beth's products are always ignored so that's why he had to do the audiobook for her current book about nothing called "Coco and Stephen", a cat and a rabbit and Howard voices Stephen.

Now, Beth is doing her normal Sirius appearances with Andy Cohen and 11 years ago, she did some pet podcasts, but of course now she is getting on a few daytime talk shows to talk up the book and plug Howard for the audiobook.

Beth is struggling to reclaim her position as a kindly animal rescuer when all the rarely vertical wife of Howard Stern does is take pictures with animals that are then thrown back in their cages while she takes the elevator to the basement to badger Howard to get her back on television.

Toxic Twins

It's no suprise that the CANCELED Kelly Clarkson TV talk show is getting stuck with Beth Stern to promote her children's book "Coco and Stephen" because both Beth and Clarkson were under fire for being toxic and allegedly fostering a hostile work environment with Kelly having to cover up for her messy divorce where she had to pay off the ex who then abruptly expired.

Both the Sterns and Clarkson have alleged toxic work

environments which sparked that lawsuit against the 

Sterns and is now forcing Clarkson to exit her toxic talk show 

"BLAKE SHELTON SAYS KELLY CLARKSON ‘ACTUALLY GOT ME FIRED’ FROM ‘THE VOICE,’ JOKES 'SHE RUNS NBC' " -- Fox News

It's no joke, Kelly is accused of working behind everyone's back and pretending she's innocent. Kelly is leaving her toxic talk show in the Fall, with NBC downsizing the chubby Ozempic host to just appearing on "The Voice" until her contract runs its course and they can be free of her and settle complaints from staff. Clarkson denies she is at fault for the toxic talk show workplace and blames the show's producers, yet she suddenly decided to end her daytime talk show copying from Ellen DeGeneres who fled the 'toxic workplace' moniker by ending her show in 2022. Coincidence? Ha ha ha.

Sterns Still Snubbed

As blogged about almost every year since around 2014, the Sterns continue to be snubbed by the annual huge event the Met Gala, an invitation-only formal fundraising gala for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City.

So, as usual, Howard Stern has to come up with something for Beth to do so he came up with this stale children's book released a day after the Met Gala on May 4th, with her book available on May 5th.

But, Howard had to diss the Met Gala on May 5th's satellite radio show and of course Beth was his big time guest because Howard can't get anybody to appear at the Hamptons sinkhole. So it's Beth or no one at this point. So, of course she is in heaven now with all the attention promoting that book about nothing, called "Coco and Stephen", a cat and a rabbit that do nothing and Bella the Cat was a casualty of Stalag Beth because Beth needed sympathy pre-sales of her stale children's book that Howard had to voice Stephen the rabbit to get Beth booked on daytime talk shows.

A few oddball celebs showed up to the Met Gala so it's

hilarious the stale Sterns can't horn in but Sirius won't

spend another dime on that sinkhole Stern to get him 

tickets to the Gala.

Cher is still standing as her handler makes sure she
shows up at the Met Gala trying to keep her name alive.

Madonna kind of morphed into a 98 year old Faye Dunaway. But her getup
for the Met Gala looked like a Tim Burton movie costume reject.

Supermodel Heidi Klum didn't get the Met Gala memo. This was not one
of her Halloween costume parties where she hosted Prince Andrew
in 2000 for the inaugural Halloween party that exists to this day but
Andrew no longer exists as a prince but is now a commoner.

How did these two get in?? And still the Sterns are snubbed. But I guess
the Science Lovers gotta hold up their end of the stick and horn in
on major celebrity events. That's why Stiller backed out of his divorce.
Science Lover divorces are notoriously nasty, it's not worth it.

May Day 🤩😳😮 May Day

As blogged about almost every year since circa 2014, Beth Stern has her annual Met Gala meltdown on the first Monday of May because she is universally snubbed by that event and her hubby Howard Stern can't coerce SiriusXM to pay for a table at the gala because it's too expensive and the Sterns have zero clout and are not famous enough to score tickets anyway because each person has to be approved, you don't simply fork over the dough and horn in, you have to be approved and no one can stand Beth Buttinsky and Howard Horninsky. [Plug in 'Met gala' in the search bar at the footer of this blog to bring up those numerous past blog entries.]

So, Howard has had to come up with a diversion for Beth so she won't have a Met Gala meltdown for being snubbed every year. This year, he had to shell out some dough for a children's book, "Coco and Stephen" for little cry baby Bethie that will be released on May 5th, when the Met Gala is on the 4th, so Beth can pretend she's too busy with the hubbub surrounding her book release and completing the audiobook to attend the Met Gala when in fact, she is snubbed every year.

Beth Bugged Bezos?

The Met Gala 2026 theme is, "Costume Art", and the dress code is "Fashion is Art". The “Costume Art” exhibit will be open after the Met Gala, from May 10, 2026, to January 10, 2027. 

The lead sponsors are Jeff Bezos and his Frankenstein-faced wife, and they are also honorary chairs of the event yet didn't Beth Buttinsnky bug Bezos for a ticket to the Met Gala this year? 

Well, that's the scuttlebutt since Beth hosted Bezos a few years ago at her Florida Flophouse to get him to take that reptile ranch off her hands [see BFP 4-10-26 and 11-9-24 that cites references to the prior blog entries about Bezos]. 

But Bezos ran out of there terrified his little dog would be a bite sized snack for the little Godzillas that have overtaken Beth and Howard's Floriday Folly that stands empty with only a few rooms having electrical power and a tub and shower for Beth to get hosed down for her spray tanning session. 

Yeah, and you think their alleged personal assistant Leslie Kuhn suffered a nightmare, what about Beth's toadying sister-in-law Amy Grets. She's got to hose down Beth with that spray tan in the shower every year and has to kiss her ass on top of it [I hope figuratively].

Witz is Winning

Howard Stern announced on his show that aired on April 28th that he might be downsizing from his two Sirius channels to only one as it seems that Boss Witz is winning the battle of the buttinsky Stern. 

We know Witz is winning because that's the reason why Howard keeps resurrecting his 'evil' Jennifer Witz character because he is angry he can't bully her into expanding his show by giving him that coveted third channel dedicated to music, much like Andy Cohen has with his Kiki Lounge.

Also, as reported on multiple news media outlets, Sirius is flailing once again and seeks a merger with iHeart radio, a company that went bankrupt in 2019. Everyone knows about the Sirius contract signing debacle in 2005 when a man in a dress gave Stern a lifetime contract and he can't be fired unless of course Sirius folds or Stern somehow violates his ironclad contract.

But, when Stern started his satellite radio show in 2006, it sent the flailing company into a tailspin trying to pay his overpriced salary and it forced Sirius into a merger with the other loser satellite radio company XM, or both of the platforms would have sunk into oblivion.

So, lets move onto merger talks with iHeart hoping to save SiriusXM from the chopping block as the satellite radio industry is losing ground while video podcasting is the wave of the future, something Howard Stern could never move into permanently. His E! Channel show ended over 20 years ago and he could never get a talk radio show back on cable TV like Andy Cohen has with Bravo TV. 

As blogged about already on 10-22-25, Howard Stern is not a podcaster and he has zero livestreaming video of his own rarely live satellite radio show, it is chopped up and available on a phone app after the show has aired live, and the reruns are audio only, with video clips uploaded to YouTube, but it is behind a paywall for the full interviews. Many of his guests don't like doing the Stern Show because it is audio only with only video clips available for free to the masses. So some celebs have a deal where their complete interview on video is posted on Stern's YouTube channel for free, but it's a whole problem for celebrities wanting to plug their latest projects. Video killed the radio star, you know, and Sirius wants to kill the Stern show.

Obviously Boss Witz is at her wit's end trying to downsize Stern and get him to retire, which Howard briefly mentioned on his radio show on April 28th, that his second channel may be toast very soon. As blogged about exclusively for many years, Howard has badgered Boss Witz to get a third satellite channel dedicated to music like Andy Cohen has with the Kiki Lounge along with his own podcast "Daddy Diaries". So Andy Cohen is just about everywhere, a satellite radio show host, a cable TV talk show host, a music channel host, and a podcaster.

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 harangued 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 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
