Sounds Like Somebody Needs A Stern Talking To
Radio shock jock Howard Stern was just a little too shocking for Jay Leno.
Stern brought two bikini-clad women on “The Tonight Show” last Thursday to help him promote his new book, “Miss America.”
He had them kiss each other, spanked one and later had his toes sucked while Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert made an appearance - scenes that were edited out for the viewing public, along with Leno’s cries of “Stop the tape! That’s it! The show’s over!”
On Friday, Leno called Stern’s syndicated radio show to complain that he’d gone too far. “If you tell me what you’re going to do, we can at least prepare for it,” he said.
Said Stern: “I gave him the opportunity to have fun. He asked for the wild man of the airwaves, and what did he do? He panicked.”
Loose talk
Tennis star Martina Navratilova, asked to reveal something surprising (in the gay magazine the Advocate): “I only brush my teeth at night. I don’t brush them in the morning.”
He’ll have cake, and ice cream - guess what kind

Leno’s NBC sidekick, “Late Night” host Conan O’Brien, not only received a one-year contract extension to next fall, he has to work only four nights a week. Starting next week, each Monday’s telecast will be devoted to recycled “best of” bits.
Actually, it seems ‘Rolanda’ comes kind of close
Colorfully coiffed Chicago Bulls basketball star Dennis Rodman tells Playboy magazine that he wants to host his own talk show - in drag, that is. Rodman’s garrulous (albeit ungrammatical) guarantee: “You never seen it on TV.”
Which is all that he ever seems to care about
Howard Stern pal Joey Buttafuoco is back on the streets after serving 2-1/2 months in jail for violating his probation in the “Long Island Lolita” statutory rape case by soliciting sex from an undercover cop. Said Buttafuoco of his newfound freedom: “It feels good.”
And here he was hoping for a new marble bag
Santa Claus had some bad news for “Baywatch” star David Hasselhoff at the 64th Hollywood Christmas Parade on Sunday: “He said, ‘You were a very bad boy. There’ll be no presents this year.”’
Some Socks are just too heavy for the mantel
Finally, not to make you feel too behind schedule or anything, but Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton have already mailed out their Christmas cards. For those of you not among the 300,000 households on their list, the card depicts a stylized scene of the newly redecorated White House Blue Room, with three stockings hung by a flaming fireplace as Socks snuggles on a blanket under the Christmas tree.
