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.”

Millie Bobby Brown and her husband Jake Bongiovi are taking over their parenthood responsibilities proudly.

On Monday, September 1, the Stranger Things star took to her Instagaram account to share a sneak peek at her adopted baby girl.

In the candid Labor Day post, Millie posted several snaps on her social media handle in which one snap featured the little one.

In the photo the proud dad, Jake, can be seen carrying the baby carrier as the souple was heading to a private jet.

The little one’s face was not visible as she was under the blanket.

This came days after the 21-year-old actress made an announcement on their social media that she and her husband had adopted a baby girl, in an August 21 post.

“This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,” Millie shared in the caption.

“We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy,” she continued.

“And then there were three. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi,” the actress added.

For the unversed, the pair tied the knot back in 2024.

Kevin Coastner appeared to have found the love of his life he had been searching for so long.

As per a recent report by Daily Mail, the Yellowstone star is quietly dating Noonan Gores, the 46-year-old filmmaker and ex-wife of billionaire Alec Gores.

The reports of Kevin’s new fling broke last week and now the pair attended the JAS Labor Day Experience Festival in Snowmass Village over the weekend.

Kevin is reportedly over the moon after his budding romance following his messy divorce from ex wife Christine Baumgartner last year.

“Kevin is dating and happy again after a very dark time in his life,” a source told the outlet.

The pair has been together for couple of months and Kevin wants to keep it low key as he doesn’t want it to go astray.

“He has been seeing Kelly. They were together in Aspen in late July. He has tried to keep it very hush hush because he doesn’t want this to go off the rails,” the insider noted.

The new woman provides him with exactly those things that Kevin has been searching for in a partner for a very long time.

“She is exactly his type and they have a lot in common: the outdoors, sports — she likes to surf — long walks with dogs,” the tipster mentioned. “Also she has young kids and he loves kids, so he thinks that’s cute. He says she is just “chill,” which is what he needs right now.”

Another source noted that Noonan “has fallen into his charm 110%.”

While Kevin “thinks she is very nice, super sexy and likes hanging out with her.”

The tattler went on to say, “Kevin can get almost any woman he wants, and Kelly is his target right now and they both are enjoying each other’s company.”

The spark between the pair is currently at the initial stages, “He’s looking to hang out with her as much as possible and she is all for it as well.”

“It is hot and heavy right now, and the sky is the limit,” the bird chirped
