Howard Stern, Wedding Smasher?

By Laurie Heifetz May 4, 2007

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.”
