King of All Breakfasts [Update]

Matt Haber — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 10:39:04 -0400

Miracles come in all shapes and sizes, apparently. For the next two or so hours, you can bid on eBay for a piece of toast burned with the image of Sirius Satellite Radio host Howard Stern.

According to the seller's description:

I can't vouch that this is an authentic miracle. I was listening to Howard Stern on the radio while I was making breakfast. Thinking of him I was startled to see the toast which came out of the toaster was burned in a way that resembles Howard Stern! My gardener thought it looked like Jesus. Someone else told me it looks like Mickey Mouse and I said, no, not the shape of the toast -- look at the image the burnt parts make. read more »

Stern Sidekick Robin Quivers Ditches Staten Island for Upper West Side Condo

Lysandra Ohrstrom — Fri, 23 May 2008 12:05:06 -0400

Back in 2004, Howard Stern’s sidekick Robin Quivers pledged to leave the U.S.A. if George W. Bush was re-elected. Last November the shock-jock’s wing woman did sell her Staten Island home for $1.2 million, but it appears Ms. Quivers only intended to flee the borough, not the country.

She has paid $2.4 million for a 1,486-square-foot condo at the new, Costas Kondylis-designed building, 200 West End Avenue, city records show. Ms. Quivers took out a $1.9 million mortgage on her two-bedroom, 22nd-floor, Upper West Side apartment. read more »

Still reeling from the fallout of its highly publicized 2007 prostitution bust, embattled Manhattan strip club Scores West has filed for bankruptcy.

The Lower East Side still hates yuppies, apparently (a little self-loathing, no?). An activist tells Page Six that everyone is so pissed at Bruce Willis for opening his Bowery Wine Company on East First Street, that they are going to get a pig and name it Bruce. [P6] read more »

At Rebecca Taylor Show, Herd Ignored and Byrd Adored

David Foxley — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 15:45:28 -0500

Today’s—air quotes—1 p.m. Rebecca Taylor show in the Salon at Bryant Park had three distinct, carefully orchestrated parts. One involved folks sitting in chairs and watching Ms. Taylor’s clothes go back and forth. Another section was comprised of models wearing the clothes and stomping on a gold-sequin runway. And the third component, of which we were an integral part, included some 50 people holding meaningless purple flashcards for 45 minutes in a fountainside corral. read more »

Observer Staff — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 12:42:50 -0500

Howard Stern on Don Imus' return to radio:

At this point, I don't think he's very relevant. People will tune out within a week. I defy you to listen. It's like a rodeo - you know, see how long you can ride a bull? See how long you can keep listening to Imus.

Time it. You'll throw up. You'll get sick. You'll die.

Ivy Supersonic Update

David Foxley — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 14:34:51 -0500

Today brings an intriguing development in party promoter Ivy Supersonic’s public feud with Plumm owner Noel Ashman, who Ms. Supersonic claims still owes her $1,000 for her work on a Halloween bash at the 14th Street nightclub. In an apparent effort to scold Mr. Ashman, Ms. Supersonic admitted to jamming the club’s locks with Super Glue, spray-painting “We’ve closed our doors and will reopen in 2008” on its façade and taping leftover food on the building. read more »
