Howard Stern is addressing the controversy that followed him throughout the summer as "The Howard Stern Show" begins its new season.
The 72-year-old radio personality responded to allegations about his workplace while also pushing back against some of the reports surrounding him.
The claims against Howard Stern emerged during a critical period that included a lawsuit from a former ****** istant, staff cuts, and major changes to his SiriusXM program.

Stern has decided to address the negative allegations surrounding him when he returned to SiriusXM for his season premiere. Rather than completely avoiding the controversy, the broadcaster used sarcasm to acknowledge how he had been portrayed during his time away.

A leaked phone call that appears to feature Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her ex-husband, Ryan Anderson, has raised serious questions about a private conversation the former couple allegedly had while he was working at a school. The ****** ually suggestive audio appears to capture Blanchard and Anderson discussing whether he could participate in an intimate phone exchange from inside the building. Anderson has since pushed back against the speculation, insisting in a TikTok video that he "never" engaged in ****** ual activity at the school.

The audio, which has circulated on social media, begins with Anderson asking Blanchard what she is wearing, but she seemingly brushes off the question. "Oh fine, tomorrow," Anderson responds.
The former couple can then be heard giggling before Anderson appears to express concern about getting caught. "I wish; I don't want to get in trouble," he says.
Blanchard responds by suggesting he would be able to remain quiet. "If you didn't make a sound at your mom's, you're not gonna make a sound at school," she is heard saying.

Jake Reiner is finally ready to talk about the murder of his parents.
In his first sit-down interview since the fatal stabbing of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, Jake remembered the "unconditional love" they had for himself and his two siblings, Romy and Nick, who is currently indicted on two counts of first-degree murder.
Speaking to ABC7 Los Angeles, he said, "It's been 8 months. It feels like 8 years at the same time. And it also feels like 8 minutes because every moment that I wake up, I'm reminded of my reality."
Jake recalled the moment he first learned of the news from his sister, "Romy told me our dad was dead and then she said, 'I can't find mom.'"
He struggled to find the words when asked about his brother's role in the matter.

Cynthia Bailey revealed Vicki Gunvalson didn't recognize her while filming The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. The 59-year-old said that Gunvalson had "no idea" who she was, joking that "she might've been a little afraid" of her.
During an exclusive interview with Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea along with Crystal Kung Minkoff, Bailey recalled her awkward interaction with Gunvalson. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star said, "I go up to Vicki [and] she literally has no idea who I am."
Gunvalson failed to recognize Bailey, who was dressed as 50 Cynt, the male alter ego she created. Bailey introduced the character during a Halloween party in Season 10 of RHOA while celebrating her 50th birthday. Bailey said she expected Gunvalson to realize she was part of the cast. The encounter happened while they were filming at a party in Atlanta.
Bailey recalled that Gunvalson looked at her like she was "crazy," prompting her to reveal that she was Bailey. Gunvalson then appeared confused, leading Bailey to clarify that she was Cynthia Bailey from The Atlanta Housewives. However, Gunvalson responded with surprise, admitting that she didn't know who Bailey was. Minkoff pointed out that she had previously appeared on Gunvalson's podcast and acknowledged that it can be easy for the Housewives to get mixed up with one another.
Gunvalson and Bailey both star in The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th, the franchise's fifth season, which made its debut on August 9. The pair are part of the show's core cast, joining Lisa Barlow, Teresa Giudice, Porsha Williams, Kyle Richards and Gizelle Bryant. The series premieres on Bravo as the cast embarks on a cross-country road trip celebrating 20 years of The Real Housewives.

Anne Hathaway took a break from her The End of Oak Street press tour to promote the upcoming The Princess Diaries 3, easily one of Disney's most anticipated sequels, more than two decades after we were first introduced to Mia Thermopolis.
While Anne is returning to The Princess Diaries as Genovia's Queen Mia Thermopolis, Julie Andrews, who played Mia's grandmother, Queen Clarisse Renaldi, confirmed this week that she will not be reprising her role.
For her first appearance, Anne wore a red J'amemme Loulou plissé maxi dress layered over ivory trousers, creating a striking contrast that made the sculptural details stand out even more.

After seven years of much-publicized sobriety, Brad Pitt earlier this month told Esquire that he is "back off the wagon." Given that Pitt has spent the last few years publicly volunteering information about his alcohol use and subsequent sobriety, his casual revelation that he now drinks "in a more restrained manner" raised more than a few eyebrows and spurred a wave of headlines.
Initially, I was wary of commenting on the news. Brad Pitt's sobriety is none of my business. But I'm also a sober journalist who writes a newsletter about addiction recovery; whether or not a person with a history of alcohol addiction can moderate their alcohol use after a period of sobriety is among the most frequent questions I receive.
Whether or not a person with a history of alcohol addiction can moderate their alcohol use after a period of sobriety is among the most frequent questions I receive.
Given that Pitt has repeatedly spoken publicly about his struggles with alcohol and subsequent sobriety, discussing the latest development feels like fair game.
The story also raises a second issue worth exploring: the redemptive recovery narrative as public image rehabilitation.

Oprah Winfrey once turned Diana Ross' storm-soaked Central Park concert into an unusually specific measure of success, owning diamond earrings as impressive as the pair flashing beneath the stage lights.
Winfrey, 72, revisited Ross' legendary 1983 performance for Glamour's "Girlhood Firsts" series after being asked about the first time she felt represented in the media.
She remembered Ross continuing to sing through torrential rain while her diamond earrings glittered and her mascara remained intact. Winfrey was so fascinated that she called Ross' production company the following day to ask what the singer had been wearing.
The answer sent Winfrey in pursuit of 10 carats of diamonds. She later discovered that Ross' earrings had actually been five carats, prompting the billionaire media mogul to joke that she "could've quit halfway through."
Winfrey described Ross as both her "inspiration and aspiration" while recalling the free concert on Central Park's Great Lawn. "Because if you all remember, there she is.

Gracie Abrams used to worry that being happy would make it hard for her to write songs. Turns out the opposite was true, as she tells Rolling Stone for her new cover story.
Gracie is currently dating Irish actor Paul Mescal. She says before they got together, she had "far less experience sitting down to write when I was filled with security and joy and love and safety."
"And I was like, 'Oh, s***, how am I going to approach this?' Or, you know, 'How's it going to impact the quantity of songs I write?'" she continues. "And it's had the most amazing effect on my writing. It has given me the most amount of **** e to reflect on everything in my life."
She continues, "It has held a mirror to me in ways that I didn't know a relationship with another person of any kind could. It has given me all the perspective that I could have ever hoped for, on previous relationships, on my relationship with my family, on my friendships. It is the greatest gift, period."
The couple's relationship has put them under public scrutiny, even more than they were before. And while you'd think Gracie would be used to that, as the daughter of famed director JJ Abrams, that's not the case. She tells Rolling Stone that any time she spent in the public eye as a child was "very contained." She adds that she didn't even know what her father did for a living until her elementary school classmates asked her for insights on Lost, one of his shows.
