    Tina Fey Recalls Career Highlight Of Working With That 'Piece Of Shit' Paris Hilton

    Former SNL head writer and current 30 Rock inspiration/star/showrunner Tina Fey was a guest on Howard Stern's Sirius radio show this morning, and she was pleasantly forthcoming with some behind-the-scenes reminiscences of Paris Hilton's stint as guest host. CityRag jotted down some of the fond memories:

    Celebrity Weeklies: Lies! Lies! Lies!

    Online gossip Mario Lavandeira was on Howard Stern this morning, yapping about whatever celebrity's drink he held last night — but when Stern asked him whether or not he worked for the celebrity weeklies, Lavandeira got more clammy than a diarrhetic's hands. He responded that he simply couldn't answer that question, explaining (to paraphrase), "I signed all these agreements, I can't even say I worked there." Lavandeira then added that every single one of the gossip rags printed lies, save for Us Weekly and People. Of course, this comes from a man who regularly contributed to In Touch — so he would know. Bauer, meanwhile, must be thrilled.

    Wilmer Valderrama Lets Howard Stern's Listeners In On A Big Secret

    We think it's his voice—Howard Stern's rich, bassy monotone—that lulls his guests into a hypnotic state in which they gladly share way too much. Then again, maybe when Wilmer Valderrama went on yesterday's show and talked openly about, among other things, taking Mandy Moore's virginity and the exact measurements of the thing he took it with, he wasn't aware that the big foam thing he was speaking into had the magical ability to send those words to millions of Sirius subscribers. Here is a partial recap of the interview from HowardStern.com: More »

    Beaver-Happy Television From Howard Stern

    The folks behind Howard Stern's new In Demand-only television show assure us that the program will be a completely uncensored look at his Sirius radio show. Since the very appeal of this sort of programming toes a fine line, advertising the show could be a problem. Thankfully, someone has managed to translate Stern's fondness for bald ladyflowers into a family-friendly affair. More »

    Trade Round-Up: Stacey Snider Might Get Seven-Figure Paid Vacation

    Stacey Snider may have jilted Universal to go shack up with DreamWorks, but she's still got 10 months left on her contract. So either Paramount's lawyers find a way to spring her (read: $$$), or she suffers the horrible indignity of being paid ridiculous sums by Universal to vacation until her pact expires at the end of 2006.

    Clash Of The Media Titans: Les Moonves Vs. Howard Stern

    It's a battle for the ages: Future Galactic Dictator Les Moonves of CBS Corp. is suing the King of All Media, Howard Stern, claiming that Stern turned his FCC-plagued terrestrial radio show into an extended infomercial for his new Sirius satellite free-for-all in an attempt to reach a stock option incentive clause in his Sirius contract. According to the NY Times, Stern has returned fire by calling the suit a "personal vendetta" intended to be a smokescreen for CBS Radio losses. But the question seems obvious: If Moonves was so worried about Stern's on-air talk about his move, why not use the very same dump button that so frequently deprived the public of porn stars describing their first double-penetration scenes to shut him up?

    Media Bubble: Radio Sued the Radio Star

    • CBS Radio sues Howard Stern for using their air to promote his new Sirius show. So why didn't they just kick him off the air back then? "I'm the one who kept you on the air and I knew I could sue you afterwards," Stern says Les Moonves told him, presumably with an enormous, blindingly white smile. [NYT] More »
