Bridesmaids Director Paul Feig Really Wants To Be A Guest On The Howard Stern Show

Paul Feig, creator of Freaks and Geeks and director of Bridesmaids, is a Howard Stern Show superfan. And I, Kate Spencer, creator of a really good bowl of cereal that I just had for lunch, am a Paul Feig and Howard Stern Show superfan. So naturally, when I interviewed Paul at the People’s Choice Awards this month, the first thing I blurted out was: “I want you to be a guest on Howard Stern!”

I’m guessing this is the first time Feig’s ever encountered a reporter trying to match-make him with a radio show, and his response was priceless. “I wanna be on there!” he exclaimed, as Wendi Mclendon-Covey looked on with a smile. “Please Howard, have me as a guest. I won’t be a bad guest.” Paul’s been a fan of the show for over thirty years, starting back when Howard first went on the air in his native Detroit in the early 80s. “I’m one of Howard’s biggest fans!” He said. “I love Howard; I love the whole gang.”

If you’re not familiar with Feig’s work, pick up a copy of his hilarious memoir “Kick Me,” to learn all about his awkward adolescence, which so wonderfully inspired Freaks and Geeks, arguably one of the best TV shows ever made. He’s also an Emmy-nominated director of shows like The Office, Arrested Development, Nurse Jackie, Weeds, Parks and Recreation and Mad Men. He’s hilarious, he tweets pictures of his wife posing with Uggie the dog at the Golden Globes, and has been a Stern fan for over thirty years. He’s guaranteed to be an amazing guest, especially when paired with the King of all Media (aka the King of all Interviews).

Howard Stern is the best interviewer around (Who else could get David Arquette and Courteney Cox to discuss their divorce together?! And get Lady Gaga to open up for almost two hours? And get Chris Martin to actually speak about his marriage?) - and I’d love to see him dig into Feig’s dorky past and insanely successful present. So Howard (or Gary, or JD, or Jason, ~~or Bobo~~) – what do you say?

Let The Howard Stern America’s Got Talent Backlash Begin!

America needs someone to crush its silly dreams, and Howard Stern is just the man to do it! With Piers Morgan moving on from NBC’s prime-time talent show America’s Got Talent, shock-jock Stern has been tapped to help kill the hopes of delusional tap-dancing jugglers everywhere as a judge. “Howard Stern’s larger-than-life personality will bring a thrilling new dynamic to America’s Got Talent starting this summer,” said NBC’s Paul Telegdy, adding, “Plus we all love seeing people almost cry on TV, right? Right?”

However, seeing as how SiriusXM host Stern has built his career around filthy jokes, porn-star interviews and filthy joking porn-star interviews, it comes as no surprise that some people wouldn’t want their kids watching him destroy mime magicians on NBC, as hilarious as it will probably be. “The once-proud broadcast network has lost its way and has made it clear it holds no concern whatsoever for children and families,” the Parents Television Council told TMZ in a statement. What do you think? Is hiring Stern a genius move, or will he be even more off-putting to watch than Gymkana, that AGT gymnastics group that caught on fire?

Bai Ling Claims That Lady Gaga Jacked Her Style, Bizarro Fashion War Ensues

Lady Gaga has gotten flack for allegedly ripping off Madonna‘s boundary-pushing performances, constantly evolving provocative wardrobe and even the sonic sounds of her records. But now Momma Monster is fending off accusations from a figure more infamous than famous: Bai Ling. The model/actress/VH1 Celeb Rehab star appeared on The Howard Stern Show over the weekend and told the King of All Media that she feels Gags has ripped off her signature bizarro style. “Yes, [she stole my look] for sure, and I hope one day she’ll dress like me and come on your show,” she vented to Howard.

Can someone have a trademark on simply dressing in an increasingly insane manner? We guess it depends on who rocks the crazy the hardest. So there’s only one way to settle this: a wacky-fashion-off. Look out, ladies and gentlemen, it could get ugly … really ugly. These ladies don’t give a damn about wearing stripes with plaid, or raw meat with lace. Join us in the gallery below to see who emerges victorious in the battle of the craziest fashions!

Courteney Cox Says She Hasn’t Had Sex Since David Arquette Split

Courteney Cox is proving she doesn’t mind estranged husband David Arquette‘s oversharing by doing a bit of her own while promoting Scream 4 this week. The actress confirmed to David Letterman yesterday that Arquette tried to have sex with her when they took daugher Coco to Walt Disney World last week. “He did try it on me. He hit pretty hard. And I said, ‘You don’t have the Fast Pass right now. Not to that ride!’”

Confirming her claim to Dave that she “loves” Arquette enabler Howard Stern, Cox surprised Howie and Dave by visiting them on Stern’s Sirius XM show this morning. While David confirmed he still wants to reunite (“We have beautiful love. She makes me laugh like nobody. We can live a happy life together”)—Cox says she’s “more hopeful about his life and him finding someone” (she also told Letterman she can see him with “someone named Tiffany or Britney”). Howard also managed to get some dirty details: Cox said she hasn’t had sex with anyone since leaving Arquette (not even Josh Hopkins!), keeping herself entertained with a vibrator that David previously purchased for her. Looks like two people can play TMI!

Just Stop Talking, David Arquette

You’d think that David Arquette‘s stint in rehab and recent Disney vacation with estranged wife Courteney Cox and daughter Coco would have matured him. That maybe he would have learned a lesson about keeping his private life private, given all the publicity he created during their initial separation. Or that he shouldn’t go back on the Howard Stern Show to talk about all his personal matters of the heart (and penis), since all he does on that show is talk about his sex life. But David Arquette is nothing if not incorrigible, which is why he admitted on-air during Stern’s Tuesday show that he tried to seduce Courteney during their recent trip to the Magic Kingdom.

First, when Stern asked Arquette if the rumors that Courteney was together with her Cougar Town co-star Josh Hopkins, Arquette replied “100% she’s not…She’s not f—ing them….We’re not together so she can do whatever she wants.” And then a few moments later, he took it further, saying “She hasn’t f—d anybody. I tried to f— her at Disney World and it didn’t happen. Ahhh that’s something I probably shouldn’t have said.” Sounds like the happiest place on earth is not necessarily the sexiest place on earth. But seriously David, just stop calling in to this show, you are not doing yourself any favors when you do.

Gilbert Gottfried Apologizes For Insensitive Tweets About Japan

Comedian Gilbert Gottfried, who was fired yesterday from his job as the Aflac duck after writing a series of tacky, insensitive Tweets about the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, has apologized for his behavior. The comedian, who is known for his raunchy humor, deleted all his offending posts and wrote today “I meant no disrespect, and my thoughts are with the victims and their families.”

Some people, like Howard Stern and Joan Rivers, think Gottfried shouldn’t have been fired or even apologized, however. Rivers Tweeted after Gottfried’s firing “That’s what comedians do!!! We react to tragedy by making jokes to help people in tough times feel better through laughter,” and Stern defended Gottfried on his show this morning, saying “[Aflac] hired him in the first place knowing… this guy is offensive… everyone knows what Gilbert’s act is. This was no different.” Personally, we think the Tweets were both offensive and unfunny, making it a double whammy of bad taste, what do you guys think?

David Arquette Says He Cried After Post-Seperation Sex, Continues To Lose Mind

courteney-cox-david-arquettewenn

SOMEBODY STOP DAVID ARQUETTE! Doesn’t that man have any friends? Or family? Or a publicist? We are seriously thinking about stepping in ourselves (for a low, low fee!) to stop him from doing idiotic things like going back on Howard Stern and saying he cried after having sex while separated from wife Courteney Cox Arquette. Said David, “After the first girl I slept with … a few days later … I was, like, crying…It was the end of all the intimacy I shared with my wife. It was like a new thing. It was like … putting that away.” Strangely, boning a fist-fighting waitress couldn’t compare with “that emotional love that I always had with Court” following their 11 years of marriage. Hard to wrap your mind around, we know.

When Stern asked if Arquette was seeing other women, David coyly admitted that,”There’s some stuff happening,” then explained how he hooked up with some random Australian woman, despite being “still f***ing in love with my wife.” The whole episode seems like one giant viral anti-drug campaign, as far as we’re concerned. Anti-drug or anti-marrying David Arquette. Either way, we have to teach our children early.

When asked if Courteney was sexing up her Cougar Town costar Brian Van Holt, Arquette got all vague and described Van Holt as “a cool guy … Any guy would be blessed to be with her. … I don’t have any hard feelings for anyone. This is life and we are just going through it publicly.” It’s only public because you keep going crazy and talking about it on the radio, David! Seriously, if someone had told us last month that we were going to have a David Arquette-induced stroke, we would have said, “Oh, I knew it.” [Photo: WENN]

David Arquette Admits To Having Sex During Separation, Says Courteney Did Not Have Affair

courteney-cox-david-arquette

Whew. We just got through listening to Howard Stern‘s interview with David Arquette, and once again the King of All Media has scored a major scoop. We took notes during the entire thing and will try to get down all major points below. The biggest thing we took away from David and Howard’s candid chat is that he still loves and cares for Courteney Cox, and they are definitely trying to work things out as mature adults. David was refreshing and honest, which is something most celebrities (and their PR people) balk at. He even admitted to have quit drinking a few weeks ago but owned up to having a drink last night. We’d gulp down some booze too, if our 11 year marriage was the topic of everyone’s convos.

Without further ado, the deets from our notes:

Courteney initiated the separation. Says David, “On our eleven year anniversary Courteney gave me a motorcycle. She said to me, ‘I don’t want to be your mother anymore.’ She doesn’t want to tell me ‘don’t do that and don’t do this.’ She doesn’t want to nag me anymore. I respect that with all my heart.”
The couple is currently living in separate houses, and David is in therapy. “I’m trying to grow up, trying to be my true self, to figure out my true self and world, as is she.”
The separation started a while ago, and if it were up to David the couple would be married and together right now. Even though, David says, “she has her own issues – tries to take one everyone’s problems, be a mother to everyone.” Hm, like Jennifer Aniston perhaps?
David did, indeed, have sex with another woman during the separation. While he did not name Jasmine Waltz specifically, he seemed to be insinuate she was his one conquest. He says, “I don’t have a girlfriend. I had sex with a girl once. Okay maybe twice.”
David confronted Courteney on her rumored affair with her co-star. She denied it. “I truly don’t think she every had an affair with Brian Van Holt,” he says. “I do believe her on that level. On an emotional level, I think she may have seen a guy who talks and bonded with him, yes.”
They told their 6-year-old daughter Coco about their split during a beach picnic. “We went to the beach and had a picnic and explained to her, ‘we’re grown-ups and a lot of times grown-ups need to figure out their lives.’”
David and Courteney’s sex life started to die while they figured things out; they haven’t had sex for four months. Still, he said of their physical relationship: “My sex with Courteney is methodical…but so full of love.”
David wants Courteney back. He says, “In my defense I didn’t go out and f*ck everything in the f*cking world. It’s one girl, and all the best for her. I’m never going to do anything with her again. I’ve been begging Courteney to get back with me. and she’s conflicted too.”

Though David is “free to see other people,” he seems truly invested in making the marriage work and says of his wife, “We’re best friends. She’s the greatest woman I’ve ever met.” Awww. He’s always seemed a little odd to us, but his openness and honestly with Howard totally won us over. Make it work with him, Court!

Howard Stern Prank Interrupts Mine Disaster Coverage, “Jamie Foxx Is A C—”

Jamie Foxx, you’ve released the fury! A feud between the Oscar winner and Howard Stern, initially over Stern’s mockery of Gabourey Sidibe, has blown so out of control it’s taking time away from disaster coverage on Fox News—not that the channel meant to let it. In the above clip, anchor Shepard Smith introduces an energy company spokesperson to talk about Monday’s coal mine explosion in West Virginia, only to be told “we’ve learned Jamie Foxx is a c— and Howard Stern rules.” Unsurprisingly, Smith was not impressed by the latest prank call from Stern accomplice Captain Janks. “It’s always distressing when there are six people killed at a mine disaster and we’re waiting for 21 others to find out whether they are alive or dead and something like that sneaks by our screeners. Disgusting.” As opposed to stopping all news coverage to hover like vultures whenever someone dies in a grotesque way.

This blast of poor taste follows a stream of gay-baiting from Stern towards his fellow Sirius employee. “He seems to be in some bizarre thing where he wants to start in with me so that he can get some attention for his channel on the Foxxhole, which is an interesting name too. The hole. I wonder which hole they’re referring to?” “I’m not gay,” responded Foxx. “A lot of people say that I’m gay and that doesn’t bother me, because I could eat a pizza in a male shower and not feel anything because I’m secure with myself. And I’m not gonna take that, Coward Stern. I’m not gonna take that from a person who has chronic gonorrhea.” This is all well and good, guys, but keep it off the cable news deathwatch, OK?

Sidibe’s Mom Responds To Howard Stern’s Insults

gs-200x Gabourey Sidibe‘s mom tells Howard Stern he’s out of line.

A media war has ensued between Howard Stern and lovers of Oscar-nominated Precious star Gabourey Sidibe. Last week Stern made nasty jibes about Sidibe’s weight and said that she’ll never work again. Now Sidibe’s mom is speaking out. (Just like my mom always says, you can mess with the mama, but never mess with her babies.)
