The Shmooze had a very important question for Howard Stern when we spotted the shock-jock with fiancee Beth Ostrosky on April 26 at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of his friend Adam Carolla’s film, “The Hammer.”
“Will you be breaking the glass at your wedding?” we asked.
“We haven’t figured out the wedding yet,” Stern answered, “but if there’s a glass to be broken, Beth will do it.”
“I will break it,” said Ostrosky, who told the San Antonio Express-News that her Catholic mother took a while to warm up to the self-proclaimed “King of All Media.”
So why the change in protocol?
“I don’t want to get messy,” Stern said. “I don’t want to get my shoes dirty.”

Give me a break! There will be no glass breaing at Howard Stern's non-Jewish wedding. Stern is a self-hating Jew whose marrying a stupid shiksa bimbo. There's nothing Jewish about this pervert.
"Stern is a self-hating Jew whose marrying a stupid shiksa bimbo. There's nothing Jewish about this pervert."....well, Sandy, he could be marrying a "stupid Jewish bimbo" and perverts come in all "religions/cultures".
The man is a classic ignoramus, redeemed only by his amazing ability to titillate. Listen for a single day, and you'll see how proud he is of his ignorance at almost everything: Math, history, and English all fare no better than judaism. So why would he marry a Jew? And why should he evn think of small customs, like breaking a glass?
