Howard Stern delays SiriusXM return amid contract talks, family struggles
Howard Stern will not be returning to his SiriusXM show this week as previously announced..
The 71-year-old broadcaster informed his 95 staffers via email on Labor Day that he would not be back on the air Tuesday, despite teasing a post-summer comeback earlier in August, as per Daily Mail.
Sources described the carefully worded message as “out of the blue” but crafted to avoid alarming employees.
Moreover, insiders suggest Stern’s decision stems from frustrations over ongoing contract negotiations with SiriusXM.
His current five-year, $500 million deal is set to expire at the end of 2025, potentially concluding a two-decade run with the satellite radio giant.
Additionally, the veteran “shock jock” is also said to be preoccupied with personal matters, including the declining health of his mother, Ray Schiffman Stern, who turns 98 in October.
As per the outlet, Stern has previously spoken on-air about her struggles with chronic pain, calling it “heartbreaking.”
Speculation around his return intensified after Stern hinted in mid-August that he would address his future on September 2, prompting questions about retirement, cancellation, or contract renewal.
Critics, including former staffer Steve Grillo, dismissed the buildup as a publicity stunt, while others pointed to Stern’s dwindling audience compared with his 1980s–2000s peak.
Once known as the “King of All Media,” Stern’s terrestrial radio show drew 20 million weekly listeners at its height.
As per the publication, estimates now put his SiriusXM audience as low as 125,000.
Furthermore, SiriusXM president and CCO Scott Greenstein has previously said Stern will determine the timing of his own exit, “Like many great artists, he’s able to stop whenever he wants.”
Prince William wants his disgraced uncle Prince Andrew completely out of the Royal life.
The future King and first in line to the throne wants the former Duke of York banned from any Royal duty when he assumes power.
It is alleged in The Times that William is not satisfied as his uncle drops his all military titles and wants to get rid of the ‘Andrew problem.’
The source adds that Andrew will be banned “from all elements of royal life” when William is monarch.
This comes as Jennie Bond tells Mirror:”I think William has been pushing for tougher action against his uncle for a long time. It must be so dispiriting to be working hard to make the monarchy relatable, modern and a force for good in the world — only for its reputation to be so relentlessly trashed by lurid headlines about Andrew.
Those who are willing to watch Emma Stone’s latest movie, Bugonia, in an early screening for free must fulfil this condition: come bald.
Yes. That’s what the post on social media read about the Yorgos Lanthimos-directed movie, which gives a nod to the lead actress who got her head shaved for the role.
“Are you bald, or willing to shave your head? On Monday, 10/20, head to the Culver Theater for a FREE advanced screening of ‘Bugonia’,” the DoLA post says on Instagram.
It adds, “The new Focus Features fever dream from Yorgos Lanthimos, starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons.”
The post notes that a barber will be on-site for those who wish to get bald on the spot, stating, “This is real.” And yes, part of it will be filmed.”
It continues for those who wish to see the movie with their hair; tickets are also available. Yargos served as director, while Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone starred alongside Emma.
It is worth noting Bugonia will get a wide release on Oct 24 after the limited release on Oct 31.
Sydney Sweeney has reportedly fallen head over heels for music mogul Scooter Braun.
According to The National Enquirer, while getting serious with Braun, who famously managed stars like Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, was not part of the Euphoria actress’ original plan, she has quickly become smitten.
“Sydney has the world at her feet, she genuinely doesn’t need Scooter’s help to get anything done, but she’s started running all her business decisions by him,” a source revealed.
However, not everyone in her circle is thrilled about the budding romance.
The Emmy-nominated actress was previously engaged to Jonathan Davino, whom she began dating in 2018 before they quietly split earlier this year.
According to insiders, Sweeney’s close friends are “baffled” by the new relationship, especially since she had initially vowed to remain single for at least a year.
“She told them she wanted to stay single to get to know herself after so many years in a relationship,” the tipster added in conclusion.
