Today is the wickedly handsome Jimmy Page's birthday as he celebrates another solar return when this musical genius was born that went on to create the world's great rock band of all time that will never be repeated.
Just about every modern day beat you hear in rock and heavy metal music came first from Led Zeppelin, including the staging, sound, lighting, everything was done first by the innovative rock performers Plant, Page, Jones, and Bonham, making a powerful foursome with a formula that could never be duplicated, that is, Led Zeppelin, founded, created and conceived by the legendary Jimmy Page.

In Pamela Des Barres' memoirs, she talked about Jimmy Page's "curtain of black hair", and that sometimes he would use a crimping iron on it before going on stage. |
Capricorn Birthday Season
Of course it's not only Jimmy Page with a birthday this month, fellow Capricorns John Paul Jones and Howard Stern also have birthdays, John's was on January 3rd and Howard's is on January 12th.
Happy New Year, Beth Fans
Here's to another year of the famous Beth Fan Page with a special thank you to all fans and followers of the famous Dame Beth-Man and her amazing blog featuring news and scoops on Beth O and other newsworthy notables and which also features the exclusive transcribed excerpts of the rarely live stale Howard Stern SiriusXM satellite radio show.
Chinese Water Torture Stern
Instead of just ending his stale Sirius satellite radio show, Howard Stern announced that he is reducing his live show schedule from 3 to 2 days per week, and his contract extension is for another 3 years, as a slow drip into oblivion.
So, he only has live shows on Monday and Tuesday and dropping Wednesdays when staff used to get free bagels every Wednesday, but hey, gotta cut that expense budget, so no more Bagel Wednesdays a phrase coined by the Beth Fan Page and copied by Howard Stern because he used to provide free bagels to staff every Wednesday when he did a live show and was not on vacation [see the Beth Fan Page blog entry dated 7-18-19 for that story].
I mean, what's the point at this point? Just end it, Stern. But, no, he wants that slow Chinese water torture before that Stern show tap is turned off for good while the reruns remain the same.
But, a factor for Stern staying for only 3 years instead of 5, was to prove that the Beth Fan Page was wrong in that it has said for years that he's already signed with Sirius through 2030, as stated on the blog sidebar and in many blog entries including the prior blog entry dated December 28, 2025. So, we shall see who is ultimately right and who is wrong, won't we.
Plus, as previously mentioned, Don Imus retired at the age of 77 [he died at 79 years old]. So, we've got a long road ahead of us until Stern finally retires at that same age or stays even longer, as he tries to get his satellite radio show sidekick Robin Quivers to retire first so he can be the solo act that he's always wanted because he thinks Robin is dimming his talk show bulb.
Howard hopes for his own HBO show like fellow Sirius star Conan O'Brien has, but lately Conan's all tied up with the murder drama surrounding Rob and Michele Reiner and their son Little Nicky. Conan hosted an old fart loser Xmas party at his home with a 98 year old Jane Fonda propped up in a corner talking shop with Rob Reiner about starting yet another tax sheltered political committee and allegedly Nick went nuts at the gathering resulting in an apparent rage killing of his parents back home where Nick was living in the guest cottage sharpening his skills.
But, many people do not realize that Howard's wanted Robin gone for at least the last decade. As already blogged about numerous times, Howard resurrected his old defunct E! Channel Show The Howard Stern Interview, so he's wanted to permanently cut Robin's job but can't because Robin is a part of the iron that clads that contract Howard signed in 2006 with the man in a dress Martine Rothblatt who is married to a black woman who is a big fan of Robin.
Howard's tried everything to get Robin to quit on her own, from reducing her pay by reducing her on-air time, he cut her newswoman job, withholding information about the on-air schedule hoping she violates the contractual agreement by not showing up, and now keeps telling her how sick she is hoping she'll retire. Now, Stern's live shows are reduced resulting in yet another pay cut for Robin as Howard tries to push that cackling hen that never lays that egg, out of the hen house.
But, as exclusively blogged about, Howard's boss Jennifer Witz never wanted Stern back at the Sirius studio once the 2020 Covid Invasion hit and everyone was sent home. She told Stern to stay home and dismantled part of his stale studio in NYC. She then donned her full metal jacket and got Stern off the air for a 2-month summer furlough which reportedly infuriated Stern, but he refused to quit. So, there is still a battle of Witz going on here that will not end well.
Hero Dog Awards Snubs Beth AGAIN
in Palm Beach
January 9, 2026 is not just Jimmy Page's birthday, but also the 15th Annual Hero Dog Awards gala sponsored by the American Humane Society and this year for the first time it was held at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club. David Webb from SiriusXM Patriot channel 125, is the emcee of the event this year.
Pretty interesting that Howard Stern couldn't sway Sirius or his buddy Donald Trump to get Beth that emcee job even though she's been kicked off the Hero Dogs gala go-round since 2020. Carson Kressley took over as host during the Covid Invasion, and was asked to continue as host with Christie Brinkley appearing as his co-host for the last few years. [See the Beth Fan Page blog entry dated 1-8-25 with references to prior blog entries about the Hero Dog Awards.]
The punchline is, that in 2021, the Hero Dog Awards ceremony was moved from Los Angeles to Palm Beach, right where Howard and Beth Stern own an empty fortress called Flor-a-Lago, a loser timeshare corporate castle where wandering billionaires like Jeff Bezos can stay while they are house hunting or doing whatever other nefarious things they are up to, with Beth entertaining her side of the family feud on separate booked vacations than Howard's side of the feud.
