Shock jock Stern ties knot with girlfriend

New York – Shock jock Howard Stern has embraced tradition. The radio talk show host known for hosting porn stars married his longtime girlfriend, Beth Ostrosky, on Friday.

“I can’t wait to marry Howard,” she told Newsday before the ceremony at Manhattan’s tony Le Cirque restaurant, adding, “I know, everyone laughs!”

The bride wore a white chiffon gown with cutaway back and sides. Officiating at the ceremony was actor Mark Consuelos, Kelly Ripa’s husband and an ordained minister.

The 180 guests included Joan Rivers, Barbara Walters, Billy Joel, Steve Schirripa, Chevy Chase, Tommy Mottola, and Donald and Melania Trump.

The wedding is an about-face for the media maverick, who once worried on the air that marriage to the model could spoil a good thing.

Stern and his wife of 21 years, Alison Berns, had three daughters before divorcing in 2001. Their romance inspired his film “Private Parts.”

Judge bars footage of Smith breast surgery

Los Angeles – A judge ordered a Texas doctor and his wife on Friday not to distribute videotaped footage of Anna Nicole Smith’s breast augmentation surgery in 1994.

The order settles a lawsuit filed last year by Howard K. Stern, the executor of Smith’s estate, who was trying to stop Dr. Gerald Johnson and his wife from distributing the tapes of the former Playboy Playmate.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff issued preliminary injunctions against the Johnsons more than a year ago before issuing his final decision.

Stern maintained that Smith never consented to the taping or to allowing the footage to be seen by Los Angeles memorabilia dealer Thomas Riccio, who got tapes from the Johnsons, according to court records.

Johnson has said he routinely records surgeries with the patient’s permission and promises to keep the video confidential “during the patient’s lifetime.”

He said he gave Riccio permission to use the video after Smith died of a drug overdose in February 2007 in Florida. She was 39. Riccio’s daughter edited the footage into a five-minute tape, scored with music similar to the theme from the film “Jaws.”

Teen’s killing lamented in Ice Cube video

Los Angeles – The unlikely stars of Ice Cube’s new video are the grieving relatives of a 17-year-old high school football star who was shot to death outside his home.

The song “Why Me?” speaks out against senseless violence and gun crime devastating communities. Cube says Jamiel Shaw Jr.’s family is a powerful illustration of the pain that lingers after a murder.

“It just was a tragic, tragic story of why,” Cube says. “Young people are dying for no reason all over the world that don’t know why. It’s ugly, everywhere.”

Shaw had been on track for a college sports scholarship when he was gunned down in March a few yards from his house in a working-class neighborhood south of downtown Los Angeles. His mother was serving in the Army in Iraq at the time.
