If anyone bothered to listen to Howard Stern's stale satellite radio show on Wednesday, we heard from his old friend Mr. Stiller with the permanent Botox smirk.
However, I don't think Howard told the story of him getting Beth that two minute role in Ben's loser indie film, Flirting With Disaster (1996). Howard likes to switch it around inferring that Ben dated Beth at the time, and that's how she got that role when in reality, Howard knew Beth for years while still married to his wife Alison. He hoped to make her famous on her own before he arranged an official meeting. Joan Rivers even said this publicly, post divorce, that Howard would come up with a new persona, that of a tortured lonely man and would script his relationship adventures moving forward.
By the time Private Parts (1997) was released in theaters, the devoted love birds Howard and Alison had already separated and Howard thumbed his wedding band at the Cannes Film Festival and when he did local interviews in Europe promoting the film. He later broadcast his radio show live from the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles to pursue that lonely man image with his marriage breaking up. He stated on the broadcast how he was trying to collect the phone numbers of a few of the Playboy models' agents as potential dating material but no one took Stern's bait.
Beth O was a name Howard gave her to use as her modeling monicker since no one knows what an Ostrosky is and they still don't, but Howard got her some modeling jobs and she even auditioned for "Son of a Beach". Fred confirmed on the radio show during the History of Howard Stern radio broadcast series when he said that Howard and Beth split up and later 'got back together'. But no one knows if this is true.
Insiders close to the story reportedly stated that Howard was having dinner with Ben at Nobu when Howard introduced his mutual friend of Vinnie Favale, Beth Ostrosky. That's how Howard met Beth via Vinnie when she was trolling around New York, rooming with her Broadway buddies, and stalked the Letterman Show. But Howard inferred that he did not know Beth prior to the dinner with Ben at Nobu. That's the deception and Vinnie and Letterman were the cover story.
Beth got various bit parts, did stagehand work, went on cattle calls for modeling jobs while working at the Letterman show via Vinnie Favale. Much later, Howard scripted the official meet-up at Mercer Kitchen.
But that's how suddenly Miss Beth O is in a Ben Stiller movie, Flirting With Disaster for about two minutes of screen time when Ben is a known snobby little creep. You don't just drop into a Ben Stiller movie without connections and the only way Beth was getting near snobby Stiller was via Stern.

| Beth was already dating Howard Stern but he failed to get Beth these 5-seconds of screen time. It was Beth's buddy Brian who starred in the film with Amanda Peet that got Beth the cameo appearance. |
Beth was already living a few blocks from Howard's married Manhattan man cave and would frequent his penthouse as confirmed by her friend Claudia Chan (Today Show relationship expert, among other things) who lived opposite Howard's apartment on the penthouse floor and she was friendly with Howard and even friendlier with her buddy Beth.
Eventually Beth moved permanently into Howard's apartment around 1998/99 when his divorce was finalized and ended Stern's dull marriage to wife #1 who wanted out before Stern financed another film and bankrupted all their little chicks in the nest on Long Island.
Contrary to what Howard Stern spouts on his radio show, it was not an easy breakup, as several news sources reported it was a nasty battle with Stern losing everything but his own penthouse in Manhattan with Howard purchasing the apartments beneath to house Beth until he was ready to go public with her with a made up storyline. His ex-wife Alison Beth got everything else including the sale of their Hamptons home they shared together during the marriage.

Howard then rented a home in the Hamptons until he could finally purchase property and build Stalag Beth for Beth O, which is Beth's prison camp for captured kittens in the Hamptons before she dumps them onto a bunch of the same foster families paid to be a front for Beth to show the woman is doing something, we don't know what, except she is desperate to be a model so she takes selfies 24/7 while Howard keeps airbrushing the hell out of her photos and publishing them online.
Beth admitted on an appearance on The View that she would be "all for it" if Stern suddenly decided to have a kid with her even though she was smirking at her so-called friends with the tons of failed IVF treatments. But that smirk could mean she already had a kid with Stern while he was still married.
But Howard said it on the air, he had to show that he was "emotionally stable" by having a girlfriend who he finally married. Now Howard scrambles to stay on the straight and narrow road as he keeps paying tons of money to make his now-still not famous wife a star while keeping all camps quiet with plenty of cabbage flowing down that river to the rabbits chomping on those Trust Fund accounts.

Beth claimed on Instagram that her segment was airing late this week, meaning 3/26 or 3/27; now she posted a comment stating she was bumped [my word, not hers] until the first week in April. Ha, keep dragging those cats around Beth since that's all you have to talk about on Meredith's canceled daytime TV show since you are not famous for anything but marrying a fired terrestrial radio DJ who finally horned in on a corporate summer filler TV show.
