Sideshow: Howard Stern embarks on his second marriage
It's official. Shock jock Howard Stern, the radio talker known for hosting porn stars, married longtime girlfriend Beth Ostrosky on Friday at Manhattan's tony Le Cirque restaurant.
The bride wore a white chiffon gown with cutaway back and sides. Actor Mark Consuelos, an ordained minister and husband of Kelly Ripa, officiated.
The 180 guests included Joan Rivers, Barbara Walters, Billy Joel, Steve Schirripa, Chevy Chase, Tommy Mottola, and Donald and Melania Trump.
The wedding is an about-face for the media maverick, who once worried on the air that marriage to the model could spoil a good thing. But he took the plunge anyway.
Stern and his wife of 21 years, Alison Berns, had three daughters before divorcing in 2001. Their romance inspired his film Private Parts.
