SHE REALLY DID KISS A GIRL
The Howard Stern Show for August 21, 2008

Howard started off the show asking George if he suffered any retribution for his actions during yesterday's bachelor party, but George laughed that he'd been ordered not to talk about Brad's reaction. George said Brad kept his promise not to listen – his downfall was Stern fans who emailed Brad with details of yesterday's show. George added that Brad's reaction was understandable, as he's only experienced one penis for the last 25 years. Artie was confused: “Uh, me too.”

George did admit that the argument lasted all afternoon long and ended with a wrestling match, so Howard speculated that yesterday's show must've made Brad realize how sexually frustrated George was. George just said he tried to be honest and things more or less blew over. Fred then began playing a hilarious clip from George's encounter with Jonah yesterday in which George whispers, “Actually, I like to touch.”

Eric the Midget called in to say he'd patched things up with Johnny Fratto and agreed to make the appearance in Vegas. Howard asked if Brandy Talore was going to be at the appearance now, but Eric was unsure. Eric did say he felt better now that he and Johnny were back on good terms, leading Howard and Robin to laugh that after Eric's angry demands to get Johnny back on the phone yesterday, they were both afraid to be on his bad side.

Howard read through the list of awards handed out at last night's “Intys” – the awards voted on by each semester's interns. Artie won the Worst Dressed and Worst Role Model awards, but he felt redeemed by also winning Funniest and Best Personality. Howard won Best Role Model. Gary took the Thinks He's Funny But He's Not award. Sal won both Staff Flirt and Creepiest, and proved his creepiness with his acceptance speech for the Flirt award, which included a promise to move past just flirting now that the girls were no longer interns.

Howard welcomed “Rock Star: Supernova” winner Lukas Rossi and his wife – former pornstar and frequent Stern Show guest, Kendra Jade! He first focused on Kendra, welcoming her back to the show and telling her she looked different. Kendra said “everyone's saying that.” Howard noted that when Lukas won “Rock Star: Supernova,” the prize was the chance to front a band comprised of Tommy Lee, former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted, and former Guns N Roses member Gilby Clark. Howard asked how the band did, so Lukas laughed that he knew it was doomed as soon as he heard the songs that were written for the group's first album.

Kendra told a story about Lukas banging a groupie while on tour and then leaving her tied to the hotel bed, and Lukas countered the rock star lifestyle was behind him - he's committed to Kendra now. Howard asked Lukas if it was intimidating to be with someone as experienced as Kendra, but Kendra cut him off before he could answer: “It's intimidating to be with him! He's big.” Artie joked that the news made George soak his seat.

Howard took a call from a guy named Mike whose wife recently had a double mastectomy and was left without nipples in between breasts-reconstruction surgeries. After she started to get better, the cancer came back – this time in her bones. Mike said he loved his wife and just married her last week despite all her medical problems, so Howard told Mike he was the best man he'd ever talked to: “Not like that John Edwards.” Howard then got Mike's wife on the line and presented her with $500 to cover her medical expenses, and Artie also threw in an offer to perform a comedy benefit show for the couple. To which George remarked that Artie’s offer proved that his heart was as big as the rest of him.

Howard welcomed singer Katy Perry to the studio. After telling her he loved her music and asked how her traveling-minister parents reacted to her first single, “I Kissed A Girl.” Katy said her parents were at her last few shows and are very supportive. Howard wondered if Katy had ever kissed a girl, and Katy admitted she did – but she's never had lesbian sex. Katy then performed an acoustic version of “I Kissed A Girl.”

Afterward, Howard asked Katy how large her breasts were, and the answer surprised everyone: DD! Howard and the gang then began begging for a peek, and Katie obliged, lifting up her shirt to show the crew the more revealing top she had on underneath. Later, everyone had a laugh as HowardTV brought up footage of Artie rocking out to Katy's performance on the in-studio monitors.

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:

1. Jake Gyllenhaal cried after Reese Witherspoon told him she wouldn't be bringing her children with her when she visits the set of his latest movie.

2. Katy Perry got kicked out of cab for singing along to her own song.

3. Tori Spelling left the new “90210” because Jennie Garth and Shannon Doherty are being paid more.

4. Cher recently rode a shuttle bus for the first time and enjoyed it.

Howard, Robin and Artie couldn't believe that Cher would ever ride a shuttle bus. George and Fred thought the Katy Perry item was the fake. Mike then announced that George's week was a success – he and Fred were correct.

The Reverend Bob Levy called in to complain about Howard picking Danny Bonaduce as his favorite in the pair's scheduled boxing match. Artie noted that he was going to be in Bob's corner for the fight and bet Howard $1,000 that Bob would win. Howard took the bet, asking, “If Bob dies, will you double my payment?” Artie said sure. Howard then promised to use his winnings to buy Bob a nice casket.
