Why Does Judith Regan Look So Good?

This afternoon I had the pleasure of going on former HarperCollins imprint-haver and If I Did It-making-happener Judith Regan's Sirius radio show. She's fun! By which I mean, she didn't hit me! And she confirmed that she couldn't stand the HarperCollins HR department. And also? She looks like a million bucks. She really does. (She is 54.) I didn't have time to ask her for beauty tips (we were too busy talking about how poorly I was dressed and why I want to defame people all the time and of course our book) but the internet provides some answers. I had thought perhaps it was a deal with Satan! But instead: It's coffee enemas with Howard Stern co-host Robin Quivers! More »

Page Six And Howard Stern Make Peace

Page Six honcho Richard Johnson just called into Howard Stern's Sirius radio show. Apparently Howard is miffed because Page Six has been writing bad items about him. Um, as far as Howard recalls, there was something about Howard getting cold feet on his wedding, something about him wearing dentures (which actually turned out to be his anti-bruxism nightguard), and an item about some crazy cab driver who says he has Howard Stern porn? Eesh. Howard says they're "all lies." So Richard Johnson says he has no agenda against Howard. And Howard says, so let's print some real items! And Richard's all, great, gimme some! Aww. That is so sweet.

Everyone's favorite weeping Britney fan YouTube guy is on the phone with Howard Stern right now. He's talking about why he doesn't like Perez Hilton—he and Perez are no longer speaking over Britney. He thinks Britney is "the best singer"—better even than Courtney Love. And: "Who can think of 9/11 at a time like this? Britney, she is a national treasure." Also he is discussing why he likes anal sex. Apparently he is a top, in the gay parlance. He says he'll be on CNN and The View today. Busy!

    Gossip Roundup: Brandon Davis Sings of Firecrotch

    • Oh thank God, Brandon Davis is fucked up again. The drunken oil heir climbed on stage at a Miami club and told the crowd he'd written a special new song called "Firecrotch," just for Lindsay Lohan. Hope it's a B-side on Paris Hilton's single. [Page Six]

    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.

    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 »
