Howard Stern Gets Engaged to Beth Ostrosky!

Who would have thought that in the end 53-year old Howard Stern, the self-proclaimed "King of all Media," was, in essence, a monogamist with a soft, romantic streak? Howard Stern spent almost as much time railing against marriage as Bill Maher (And we cannot wait to see what Maher says about it when his show's next season starts on Friday) Howard waited for Valentine's Day to reveal his new staus with longtime girlfriend Beth Ostrosky (Who is, we cannot fail to note 19-years his junior). From Marksfriggin:

"Howard said that their life is great together and he wasn't looking for a change but there are some people who treat her like she's his 'floozy' or something like that. He said he kind of sees what goes on with certain people so this might help.

"Dominic Barbara called in and said that he wishes him luck. Howard thought he was laughing at him because that's what it said on the computer screen. Dominic congratulated him on the engagement. Howard said that he's thinking of taking on Beth's last name because of the confusion with Howard K. Stern's name. Artie said that some people will get the story wrong and say that Howard K. Stern just got engaged.

"Howard took a call from a guy who did laugh at Howard for getting engaged. He goofed on Howard about the whole thing. Howard went on to say that the whole thing was very romantic but Beth didn't break into tears or anything. That kind of thing has been over for years.

"Howard took another call from Wolfie who said that he remembers back to 1999 when he said he would never get married again. He said it didn't take him long to change. Howard said it's been 8 years so it's been quite a while. Robin said that this has been going on for a couple of years now, it's not like it just happened.

"Artie asked if he had a pre-nup in the works yet. Howard said they haven't gotten that far, but he will have one. Ronnie came in and offered to do the bachelor party for him. Howard said Ross already asked him when that's going to happen. He's still in shock over the whole thing"

Will this affect the raunch-factor Sirius listeners have come to love? More:

"Robin pointed out that Howard didn't feel up that chick who was in the studio yesterday. Howard said it would have been a bad idea to do that on the same day he was asking Beth to marry him. The guys were also talking about Beth getting pregnant and having a baby. Howard said that's just not going to happen but the guys said they can picture him walking the baby down the street in a stroller. Howard said that stuff looks like complete torture to him and he can't imagine going through that. He said he's happy for his friends who have kids but he can't go through that again.

"Howard said he called Beth's parents last night to let them know what was going on. He joked that he told High Pitch Eric too. Gary said that Beth told him at one point that she was going to be ''Mrs. Stern.' Robin couldn't believe that she missed the call about this yesterday. Howard said he tried calling her twice yesterday and he never got through."

The Corsair, of course, congratulates Howard and wishes him a happy and healthy marriage. This might explain why Howard has hinted that after his 5 years are up he may not renew, and just retire. It all becomes clearer now that that retirement will not be alone.
