Welcome to another edition of Page 71,our Howardshrine gossip page that is just like Page 69 only we dig deeper for the dirt. Page 71 has just been informed by one of our Shrine 100 news reporters that Fran Baskerville aka The Singing Psychic has died. Here is the email he received from an alleged family member making that claim.
I recently saw the segment you did on my cousin, Fran Baskerville, in 2002 and thought you might be interested to know that she passed away yesterday. Unfortunately I had not kept in touch with her, although many of my family members had, so I wasn’t aware that she was ill. Anyway, I enjoyed the article and wanted to pass along the news about Fran’s death.
Regards,
Cassy

We will bring you more information as this story develops. RIP Fran if this news is unfortunately true.
Wack Pack Update: Beetlejuice
Howard Stern Show's Beetlejuice made an appearance in North Bergen on August 28, 2009. It is his first appearance since his manager died in prison over a month ago.
Beetlejuice, star of the upcoming reality series "This is Beetle," in North Bergen supporting his pal and mentor Bobby Rooney during a fight in North Bergen.
"It's about livin', livin' life. It's my life whether there's cameras there or not!" exclaimed famed Howard Stern sidekick and Jersey City native Beetlejuice, talking about his new reality series, which chronicles his hilarious exploits with best friend Bobby Rooney, a Bayonne native.
The Jersey Journal caught up with Beetlejuice last night before Rooney's boxing match against Toris Brewer at Schuetzen Park in North Bergen and he shed some insight into the new show, "This Is Beetle," premiering Oct. 29 Howard TV On Demand.
In one episode, Beetlejuice visits the dentist -- "I'm a brave dude, yeah, I take it like a man!" he said. In another, he visits a tanning salon and ends up getting sprayed with soda.
Director and producer of the show, Keith Fenimore, joked that it helped even out his complexion.
And there's plenty of drama coming up on the series, especially between Beetlejuice and his mortal enemy, Dominic, "a dwarf."
"He's a dwarf, I don't like that guy! He steals, he smokes drugs! He jumped out of my cake wearing a pink thong and a cotton ball!" he said, describing an episode about his birthday, which involved a, um, surprise.
Beetlejuice describes the show, saying, "It's going to be crazy, it's going to be sexy, girls are going to get naked, anything!"

Howard Stern VS Michael Vick
Howard Stern throws Michael Vick to the dogs
by Associated Press
Despite what appears to be widespread acceptance of football player/convicted dog fighter Michael Vick’s return to the NFL, Howard Stern isn’t backing down on his stance that Michael Vick is a big, fat jerk. Whether it’s because of his wife Beth Ostrosky’s extensive work with animal rescue organizations, or Stern’s own animal-friendly sensibilities, Howard Stern wants his listeners to know that he was unimpressed by Michael Vick’s “performance” on this week’s 60 Minutes.
Howard Stern called Michael Vick “smug” and pleased with himself for “getting away with it.” The Howard Stern Show co-host Robin Quivers, who stated last week that Michael Vick’s offenses were no worse those perpetrated on farm animals by American farmers every day, did a complete 180 on last week’s comments. Robin Quivers called Michael Vick’s demeanor “arrogant” and stated that she takes back “everything I ever said in support of him.” Quivers also stated that Michael Vick’s public relations representative should be fired because the 60 Minutes interview solidified Quivers’ opinion that the football star was in no way remorseful or rehabilitated.
Robin Quivers even went so far as to say that she’ll never watch a Philadelphia Eagles game again. Ever. Even if they make it to the Super Bowl.
Of course, not every member of The Howard Stern Show cast was interested in castigating the man known for taking pleasure in hanging and electrocuting dogs. Howard Stern Show segment producer Will Murray told the Howard 100 News team that he thinks Michael Vick has paid his debt to society and should be given another chance.
And of course, admitted Howard TV director and admitted dog hitter Scott DePace backed Michael Vick as well. DePace has come under fire from Beth Ostrosky and many Howard Stern Show listeners after his admission that he hits his dog Cookie with a rolled up newspaper when she’s “bad.”
Despite the opinions of Murray and DePace, it doesn’t look like The Howard Stern Show will be welcoming Michael Vick into the studio any time soon, unless it’s for a very specific stunt.
Example?: Michael Vick agrees to eat bleu cheese out of Reverend Bob Levy’s ass until he’s told he can stop, and The Howard Stern Show cast gets to electrocute and hang him if he doesn’t perform the assy bleu cheese consumption to their standards.
Stranger things have happened. You never know.

Beth O Stern at the Dolce & Gabbana fashion show
Looks like Nello’s wants to be known more for their sense of style than for their expensive drink list these days. The Southampton eatery, bar and late night hotspot played host to a Dolce & Gabbana fashion show over the weekend to show off their style skills. More story below…The exclusive luncheon and fashion presentation brought out names like Beth Ostrosky Stern, Christina Greeven Coumo, and Samantha Boardman Rosen, amongst others in a very fashionable crew. The Fall 2009 collection displayed lots of satin and pops of bright colors for guests, and in true Dolce & Gabbana style, even the occasional animal print.

Eric The Midget's Bucket List
My Bucket List
by Eric The Midget
............
My Bucket List....
.. ..
This summer during my road trip vacation when I started have my health problems get to the point where I had to stay in the hospital I started thinking about what I still wanted to do in my life. I remember that two years ago there was a movie with Jack Nicholson, and Morgan Freeman that was called The Bucket List. Even though I have no plans of my life ending anytime soon I thought that I should make my own bucket list, and get started on it as soon as possible so here it goes.....
#1.) Run for Governor of the state of California. I pick this first off because it the closet thing. California picks the next governor next year. I believe that I can out do the last two governors that this state has had. Arnold S., and the guy before him both sucked. They both put our state in the crapper. ....
#2.) Get Dougie “The Puggie”, and other books published, and Make the New York Times Best Sellers list with them all.....
#3.) Have one, or more of my books get turned into a big screen movie.....
#4.) Continue trying to get more acting roles on TV.....
#5.) Get my first movie role.....
#6.) Working with my two favorite wrestling companies WWE, and TNA in whatever way that I can.....
#7.) Direct a movie.....
#8.) Direct, and make a documentary.....
#9.) Get the nerve up to try at least one night of doing stand up.....
#10.) Show my talents as an artist by doing some designs, and drawings.....
#11.) Own or get to be a part of a record label. I think I have an ear for talent.....
#12.) Finally get to meet Kelly Clarkson, and meet a bunch of my other favorite celebrities.....
#13.) Continue to visit the girls of the Bunny Ranch, and the Love Ranch as much as I can.....
#14.) Go to the rest of the lower 48 states that I haven’t been to yet.....
#15.) Stay at as many of the Las Vegas hotels that I haven’t been to yet as I can.....
#16.) Have a huge family reunion for both sides of my family at Disneyworld or in Las Vegas.

Will You Follow Stern in 2011?
Howard Stern still poised to make big bucks when Sirius XM contract expires
By David Hinckley
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Wednesday, August 26th 2009, 4:00 AM
Okay, so what's Howard Stern going to do 15 months from now, when his five-year megadeal with Sirius (now Sirius XM) Radio expires?
Stern may know. He may not. If he does, he's not sharing yet.
"Howard likes cliffhangers," shrugs Tom Taylor, editor of the trade sheet Radio-Info.com.
What Stern doesn't have to worry about, says Michael Harrison, editor of the trade magazine Talkers, is that he won't be in demand.
He may have millions fewer listeners than he had when he was syndicated from WXRK (92.3 FM). He may not be the presence he was in the water cooler or Twitter loop.
But besides declaring himself far happier without the stress of FCC-regulated radio, he also remains a premium brand.
"Stern has left the 'relevance' question behind," says Harrison. "He's a broadcast legend and a cultural icon. Even his absence is a story. He has nothing to prove. He has total freedom. The only question is what he does with it."
In fact, says Harrison, he could do something almost no one else could do: He could become his own medium.
"He could start his own radio station - on the Internet, with multiple platforms," says Harrison. "He could have total control, total freedom and keep all the money."
Harrison acknowledges few Internet broadcasters make any money, never mind Stern-level money. He says Stern could change that.
"The problem with 'monetizing' the Internet," says Harrison, "is that almost everything there is available somewhere free. Stern would be selling something not available anywhere else - himself.
"And as more and more people get their radio through the Internet, he would become more and more valuable."
Kurt Hanson, editor of the Radio And Internet Newsletter, says a Stern Internet show could work and would have a big audience upside.
"He could do a podcast [show] that people could buy or subscribe to," says Hanson. "Then they could listen any time they wanted. With the new phone technology, it's ridiculously easy.
"Right now about 10% of the country has some device that makes receiving podcasts simple. A year from now, that number will double. If a Stern got into it, that would speed acceptance further."
Then, too, Stern could get a pile of money from satellite or free radio without taking on any management headaches.
Or none of the above.
"It's also possible he could just leave," says Taylor. "Whatever he decides, he won't be worried about the rent."

Ted Kennedy falls victim to The Howard Stern Show vacation curse
E-ra!
It’s happening again. Important people are dropping dead while The Howard Stern Show is on vacation.
ABC News has reported that Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts died late Tuesday night at his home in Massachusetts. Senator Kennedy was diagnosed with brain cancer last year and underwent surgery on the tumor earlier this summer.
So,…it’s not that it’s a shock that Teddy finally kicked the bucket.
But for Howard Stern Show fans, it’s absolutely outrageous that the death of such a prominent subject of ridicule on the show has happened, once again while Stern is on vacation. Earlier in the summer, The Howard Stern Show cast took major flak from its listeners when Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson dropped dead within hours of the King of All Media going on two week hiatus. This time, the Howard Stern Show vacation celebrity death curse is even more significant since Howard Stern does impressions of Senator Ted Kennedy often, usually referencing his heavy drinking, womanizing and involvement in the drunk driving death of Mary Jo Kopechne.
Now, fans of the show that has been roasting Senator Ted Kennedy for decades are being forced to make their own jokes about how the senator won’t need to be embalmed since he’s already pickled in enough whiskey to keep him fresh for all eternity.
It’s a disturbing trend—not just that people that The Howard Stern Show loves to ridicule seem to keep dying while the show’s on vacation, but also that Howard Stern Show fans are deprived of the immediate reactionary commentary that the King of All Media is famous for. For fifteen bucks a month, Sirius subscribers think they deserve nothing less.
Let’s all just hope and pray that Don Imus and Jay Leno stay nice and healthy until The Howard Stern Show is back from vacation.
NJ court appearance for comic Artie Lange delayed
TOMS RIVER, N.J. — A New Jersey court appearance for "Howard Stern Show" radio personality Artie Lange on a charge of driving under the influence of an intoxicant has been rescheduled for next month.
The comedian and author of the best-selling book "Too Fat to Fish" originally was scheduled to appear in court Wednesday for a pretrial conference. That date is changed to Sept. 9.
Lange was charged following a minor traffic accident last month in Toms River, about 50 miles south-southwest of New York City.
Police say Lange's vehicle struck the back of another vehicle. They say no one was injured.
Defense lawyer Michael Grasso entered a not guilty plea for Lange on July 14. He says the 41-year-old Lange passed an alcohol screening test after the accident.
