Howard Stern's Valentine's Day Shocker: He's Engaged!

Radio veteran has a change of heart, pops question to longtime girlfriend Beth Ostrosky.

When Howard Stern signed on to his satellite radio show Wednesday morning (February 14), he realized it wouldn't be long before the phone lines at Sirius were all lit up with fans and friends just waiting to ridicule him. And really, why shouldn't they?

Since the dissolution of the veteran shock jock's 20-year-long marriage to first wife Alison back in 2000, Stern has repeatedly vowed — with his entire audience as his witnesses — that he would never, ever tie the knot again. At times, he'd even deride his own pals and members of his staff in the wake of their own engagements, advising them against making the same terrible mistake he'd once made.

Well, it seems the 53-year-old King of All Media doesn't care about making the same mistake twice. Stern revealed Wednesday that he proposed to longtime girlfriend Beth Ostrosky the night before. Stern has been dating Ostrosky, a model 18 years his junior, since 2000; Ostrosky contributed a monthly advice column to the now-defunct FHM magazine and hosts "Filter" on the G4 network.

With his staff expressing their utter disbelief, Stern joked that he'd had Ostrosky's uterus excised to ensure the couple would not have children. "I see my married friends with children and it seems like absolute torture to me," said Stern, himself a father of three. Several callers to the show — along with sidekick Artie Lange — blasted Stern for his decision, which prompted the jock to call off the engagement on at least two occasions during the show's first hour.

"Do you want your Valentine's Day gift now?" Stern said this morning, recalling how he'd proposed to the woman known to fans as "Beth O." When the model told Stern she wanted her present early, he instructed her to strip down. Stern said she protested, insisting that she was too "fat" to disrobe. His first thought, he said, was "any girl who looks like that and thinks she's fat — I've got a chance with her."

When Ostrosky did get naked, Stern said he handed her a 5.2 carat diamond ring. "I love you. You're everything to me," Stern recalled saying. "This is so gay. ... I'm asking you to spend the rest of your life with me." Ostrosky said "Yes," and Stern said the couple made love immediately after; Ostrosky claims she had her "hand up and was looking at my ring the whole time" the two were in bed.

This will be Ostrosky's first marriage. When asked if the couple had set a date yet, Stern said the actual wedding was something they didn't want to even think about for now, and that his audience can expect an elongated engagement.

Damn! I can't believe I missed that! I've been away from my Sirrus radio for a few days!

Man, Robin must be going nuts.

I knew he'd break down eventually. I think he'll end up having a couple of kids too. I was a big Stern fan a few years back. I'd listen to him on my morning commute to work. I felt bad when Howard and Allison broke up.

Being a Sirius subscriber who signed up because of Howard, I am hoping and wishing nothing but the best for Howard. I remember a few weeks back he asked abt how much would a guy who makes his kind of money, should pay for an engagement ring. Everyone was like, Whoa! are you planning to pop the question? Howard said, nah, he was just asking. Then he asked his listeners if he should marry again. I guess he had his mind all set to ask her, he was just having fun with the listeners.

Brian Damage · 02-15-2007, 11:42 PM

So Howard bit the bullet? I could've sworn he swore off marriage after his divorce to Allison. Oh well, congrats anyway. I wonder who'll be his best man?

That's a good question.

I wonder if Howard is going to turn this into a big "HowardTV" event.

Certainly his viewers wil want to see every aspect of the wedding. I wonder if it will be a big extravaganza.

For my money. Fred should be the best man.

or Artie.

Where did James mention anything about Bozell? Looks to me like he gave his own opinion. Or maybe it was written in invisible font that only you can see. Love that famous liberal tolerance for opposing views. Cheap shot.
