Howard Stern Declares Himself "The Howard" (Part 2)

February 13th, 2007

To continue on from yesterday, a story regarding the 'name change' has shown up on the Internet (via Associated Content).

"In the wake of Anna Nicole Smith's death and increasing media attention on her partner and lawyer Howard K. Stern, controversial Sirius DJ Howard Stern asked listeners today to stop calling him by his full name.

The lawyer Stern has been frequently confused with the disc jockey in recent weeks, both in print and in broadcasts.

While the disc jockey did admit that he appreciated the free press to an extent, he didn't want to be confused with the other Howard Stern, and was angered when he heard some news outlets dropping the "K." from the lawyer Stern's name during reports.

"I don't want to be associated with that retard," Stern said on his daily radio show when announcing the change."
