Angelina Jolie made more than any other celebrity, taking 4 out of the 10 spots, 3 out of 4 of those pictures were due to interest in her children. It’s wrong to make big bucks selling pictures of your biological and adopted children when you’re already very rich. Jolie only started making the big bucks once she started dating Brad Pitt, and already had two adopted children. Brad has been good for Jolie’s career.

The worst mother award goes to Anna Nicole Smith however, for selling pictures of her dead son showing him just hours before his death. A real mother would never betray her son like that.

Notably not listed is how much, if anything, was paid for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes pictures of baby Suri.

The best father award should go to Tiger Woods who revealed pictures of his daughter Sam Alexis to the world for FREE.

Howard Stern Sued Again for His Big Mouth

howardstern Howard Stern Sued Again for His Big Mouth

The equal-opportunity offender, Howard Stern is facing a $100 million lawsuit by an advertiser.

The New York Post reported that a sponsor of Stern’s show on Sirius Radio felt that Stern and his sidekicks undermined the promotional campaign and blames their antics for a drop in sales.

On June 6, [CEO Kelly Lockwood] said, Lee Mroszak, a k a "Crazy Cabbie," was on to talk about how he’s shed 20 pounds with the product. "The first thing out of Howard’s mouth was, ‘Geez, Cabbie, you look fatter than ever,’ " Lockwood said. "Then, [Stern sidekick] Ralph Circella says to Cabbie something like, ‘What the hell are you doing in here promoting a weight-loss product, you fat piece of [bleep]! Why don’t you lose 60 more pounds and then come back?’ This was horrendous for us. Our sales have dropped more than 20 percent. In seven minutes, he undid all the good work we did." Lockwood said the suit, to be filed this week in federal court in New Jersey, will charge Stern and Sirius with defamation.

Again, we’re not attorneys, but an old adage comes to mind: "live by the sword, die by the gross-out and insult humor you exploit and endorse with the ad dollars you throw at the shock jock."

That’s how that old chestnut goes, right?

And, since when does a prudent marketer (oxymoron?) enlist someone named "Crazy Cabbie" as a possible celebrity client. Duh.

Howard A. Stern Gets Engaged To Beth Ostrosky

  Share

Hell hath frozen over! Radio shock jock Howard A. Stern, 53, who once said he would never again marry, has finally decided to marry his long-time girlfriend, model Beth Ostrosky, 34.

Stern announced today on his Sirius Satellite Radio show that he had popped the question the evening before and that Ostrosky had said yes. Stern went on to say that he had a 5.2 carat emerald cut diamond ring designed for Ostrosky and that no wedding date had been set.

The couple has been dating since 2000. This will be the second marriage for Stern who was previously married to his college sweetheart, Alison Berns, for 22 years before filing for divorce in 2000. Stern has three daughters: Emily, 23, Debra, 19, and Ashley, 14. This will be Ostrosky’s first marriage.

Stern has long practiced Tom Leykis 101, but he hasn’t given up on the approach. Even Leykis advocates marriage if two people are compatible, and they are really in love. One has to wonder however if Valentines Day pressured Stern in his decision to propose. If that’s the case, then how’s he gonna top himself next year.

Rosie O’Donnell Looking for Allies

  Share

Rosie O’Donnell’s war with Donald Trump continues to rage, but she’s buried the hatchet with another longtime nemesis. For years, O’Donnell and Howard Stern were at each others’ throats, but the voluble "View" star is now gushing over the raucous Sirius shock jock and his $83 million bonus on her blog: "A businessman/artist/leader – impressive . . . Mr. Stern, bravo." Last year, Stern stunned listeners by admitting that since O’Donnell had come out of the closet, "I’m digging her more and more."

Rosie is a bully. She will kiss anyone’s butt at this point to win allies, and beat Donald Trump. Most bullies are also expert manipulators. At the end of the day Rosie is still a loser, and a bully. The hatred Rosie directs at other people comes from Rosie’s hatred for herself, in my opinion.

Martha Stewart Shared Her Prison Experience With Howard Stern

  Share

Martha Stewart (65) recently told Howard Stern (52) that “girls that looked like boys” hit on her in prison, and asked her out on lunch dates. The doyenne of domesticity and former jailguest stopped by Stern’s Sirius Satellite radio show on Thursday December 14 to share her experiences in the big house, where Stewart spent five months after being convicted in 2004 on four felony counts involving insider trading. Interview highlights below:

On her past crush on Howard Stern:

Martha Stewart: “I don’t have a lot of offers to go out on dates.”

Howard Stern: “I thought there was a point you wanted me.“

Martha: “I did…but then I met you.”

On her brief courtship with Sir Anthony Hopkins:

Martha: “I wish more men would ask me out, actually.”

Howard: “Men are afraid of you.”

Martha: “I know, that’s the whole problem.”

Howard: “Sir Anthony Hopkins…you dated.”

Martha: “Oh, I loved him, but he was…scary. I was going to invite him up to Maine, I have this beautiful home in Maine…but then I revisited because I saw that movie again, [Silence of the Lambs]. I couldn’t get past the Hannibal thing with him. I couldn’t get past it – do you want someone eating your brain while you are sitting in your beautiful dining room in Maine?”

Howard: “What you bring up is true because I had Linda Blair when she was very young on my show, it was after The Exorcist and she was kind of coming on to me, and I was like ‘That’s the chick who’s possessed.’”

Martha: “I would have probably had a very nice relationship with Anthony Hopkins but I couldn’t get past the Lecter thing.”

On her fellow prison inmates asking for dates and business advice:

Martha: “I managed to find a group of women there who were intelligent, had a lot of talk about.”

Howard: “Who came on to you?”

Martha: “Some girls that looked like boys.”

Howard: “What would they say to you?”

Martha: “They would ask me for lunch, a lunch date. They also wanted to learn. I’d have lunch with them. There were girls with mustaches and there were girls with beards. First they’d ask about business. They all had business plans. Everybody in prison has a business plan.”
