Brooke has the look – The Howard Stern ShowThursday,  September 18, 2008BROOKE HAS THE LOOK The Howard Stern Show for September 18, 2008BLAME GANGE’S BLOG Howard started off the show making fun of Gange’s blog again. Robin thought Gange was the last person on earth who needed to document everything he did during the day. Howard laughed that Gange was no Hemingway: “Get a f’ing life.” Howard said the blog actually made him angry, but he couldn’t figure out why. Gary said the guys in the back thought Howard might be stressing over his wedding and Howard agreed.

Howard added that just about everything was making him angry lately, probably because Jon Bon Jovi has RSVP’d that he wouldn’t be able to make it to Howard’s wedding. Howard speculated that the problems Jon had recently while taping something for one of the show’s upcoming specials may have had something to do with this. Howard regretted that whatever had happened with Jon, noting it was out of his control: “I’m done having friends. It’s too much work.”

RICHARD & SAL ARE TOPS Howard laughed that Richard & Sal’s CNN make-out session could very well soon be the most viewed video on YouTube. Somehow the conversation turned into speculation over who would win in a fight. Howard thought Richard would choke Sal out with his retard/farmboy strength. Fred countered that Sal might be able to pin Richard down, but the end result would be gay either way.
HOWARD IS A BROOKE HOGAN FAN Brooke Hogan stopped by to promote the latest season of “Brooke Knows Best” and said she couldn’t figure out why she’s so popular with Vh1’s older demographic. Howard said he and Beth O were fascinated by Brooke’s life, particularly a recent episode where Brooke took a fan to the prom. Brooke laughed that the incident was “so awkward.” Howard then asked Brooke why her friend Ashley doesn’t dress sexy, so Brooke explained that it was just Ashley’s style: “She’s a bookworm!”

Robin asked Brooke if Howard was too old for her, and Brooke replied, “I don’t think age really matters.” Howard wondered if Brooke’s opinion held true for her mom’s 20-year-old boyfriend, and Brooke admitted it did not – but she doesn’t really talk to her mom right now.

Howard noted that Brooke’s dad’s girlfriend kind of looked like her, but Brooke claimed that while certain picture’s of her dad’s girlfriend have given her pause, they don’t resemble each other “in real life.” Howard asked Brooke if her boobs were real, but Brooke avoided the question (“What do I look like to you?”) and promised to be more forthcoming in the future: “[A Playboy pictorial] is something to think about…[but] I don’t know if I’d go full [nude].”

BEWARE THE LANDSHARK Chevy Chase came by to promote his charity, and Howard asked how Chevy got started in show business. Chevy said he started out writing in college and moved on to Channel One and then Mad magazine, Alan King, and, later, Saturday Night Live. Howard wondered why Chevy left Saturday Night Live, and Chevy explained that he let the first season’s success go to his head and ruined his relationships with the cast members. Howard asked what Chevy’s favorite SNL skit was and he answered, “Landshark.”
Howard asked Chevy how much he was paid to film “Caddy Shack,” so Chevy reported that he got $800,000 for a week’s worth of work. Chevy said he was also offered “Animal House,” but he turned it down (“I’d already lived it.”) to work with Goldie Hawn. Howard marveled at how good Goldie looked at the time, and Chevy agreed, noting that he didn’t manage to bed Goldie until after the movie was through with principal production.
HOUSTON RETURNS Howard welcomed former porn star (and former frequent Stern Show guest), Houston back to the show – for the first time in six years – to discuss recently being diagnosed with skin cancer. Houston said she’s paying the price for being a “huge sun-worshiper” and has been out of porn for over four years. She worked as a real estate agent for a while, but when her boss discovered her past, she was fired: “It was actually someone in corporate…then I lost my house and was diagnosed with cancer that same month.”

MIKE WALKER’S GOSSIP GAME

Howard got Mike Walker from the National Enquirer on the line, as he does every Thursday, to play The Gossip Game, in which Mike reads four gossip items – three (allegedly) true, one false – and the crew has to guess the fake. Mike then read this week’s stories:

JEFF THE DRUNK IS A WINNER…FOR ONCE

Steve Langford reported that Jeff the Drunk won a radio trivia contest and the prize is a stay at New York’s Algonquin Hotel. After hearing the questions, Howard laughed that the game was made for retards: “How could you not know [the answer to the first question] was pizza?” Jeff called in to agree, saying he was usually the one who asked aloud how trivia contestants could be so stupid. Jeff then said he was looking forward to his stay at the literary landmark and promised to stop by while he was in town.
