Howard Stern And Beth Ostrosky Get Married

The king of all media and his super model girlfriend have tied the knot.

Shock jock Howard Stern, 54, and Beth Ostrosky, 36, were married Friday night in a small and private ceremony at Cirque restaurant on East 58th Street in New York City.

According to media reports, there were less then 200 people in attendance.

The guest list included real estate magnet Donald Trump, Barbara Walters, Jimmy Kimmel, Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos, Sarah Silverman, Adam Carolla, Billy Joel and wife Katie Lee, Joan Rivers, Stern's radio cohorts Robin Quivers and Artie Lang, Chevy Chase and John Stamos.

Mark Consuelos, who is an ordained minister and real-life husband of television host Kelly Ripa, officiated over the ceremony. Long time friend and actor Chevy Chase gave the toast, and singer Billy Joel performed the song "The Stranger".

The details for the wedding were kept secret for months, and guests were given little information about the time, place and date of the event.

Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky have been dating for almost eight years, and publicly announced their wedding plans early last year. This is Ostrosky's first marriage, and she now becomes stepmother to Stern's three daughters from a previous marriage. It is Stern's second marriage, after divorcing his first wife Alison in 2000.

Stern can currently be heard with Robin, Artie, Fred and Gary as well as a host of outrageous characters on his SIRIUS radio show.

He is also a consulting producer for the comedy "Howard Stern's Porky's", a remake of the classic 1980's teen sex comedy "Porky's", about a group of high school students who seek revenge on a nightclub owner and his sheriff brother. The film is due sometime in 2009 and is sure to be bad.

O. J. Simpson Las Vegas Trial Verdict - Found Guilty On All Charges - Video

O.J. Simpson was found guilty on Friday (10/03/08) on all twelve counts resulting from the arrest after an altercation in a Las Vegas hotel room last year.

The guilty verdicts included the charges of armed robbery, kidnapping, conspiracy to commit robbery and kidnapping, burglary, robbery, assault and coercion.

The Las Vegas verdict comes almost thirteen years after Mr. Simpson was acquitted in the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman.

O.J. Simpson now faces fifteen years to life in prison for the kidnapping charge, and a minimum of ten years in prison for the other charges. His attorney, Yale Galanter, said Simpson would appeal the verdicts.

Simpson showed little emotion as the guilty verdicts were read and the judge denied him bail. After the reading, O.J. was taken away in handcuffs. Mr. Simpson will return to the courtroom on December 5, 2008 for sentencing.

The charges stemmed from an arrest after O.J. Simpson led five friends on a robbery of a Las Vegas Hotel and Casino guest room and fled with hundreds of items of memorabilia from the sports careers of O.J. Simpson and other athletes.

The use of a weapon adds several years to the minimum sentences for nine of the twelve guilty charges, which also included conspiracy to commit robbery and kidnapping, burglary, robbery, assault and coercion.

The jury of nine women and three men deliberated for only 13 hours, reviewing weeks of testimony and hours of audio recordings of the planning and execution of the crimes.

Convicted with Mr. Simpson was Clarence Stewart, 54, one of the five men who accompanied Mr. Simpson in the raid. Mr. Stewart faces the same sentences.
