NEW YORK — Shock jock Howard Stern has embraced tradition.
The radio talk show host known for hosting porn stars was married Friday to his longtime girlfriend, Beth Ostrosky.
Before the ceremony at Manhattan’s toney Le Cirque restaurant, she told Newsday she couldn’t wait to marry Howard. But she says she knows everyone laughs about it.
The bride wore a white chiffon gown with cutaway back and sides. Officiating over the ceremony was actor Mark Consuelos, an ordained minister.
The 180 guests included Joan Rivers, Barbara Walters, Billy Joel and wife Katie Lee, “Sopranos” star Steve Schirripa, comedian Chevy Chase, music executive Tommy Mottola, and Donald and Melania Trump.
Stern once told listeners he surprised Ostrosky last year with an engagement ring — while they were naked in bed.

FOXNews.com – Unarmed Coffee Shop Waitress Nabs Fleeing Bank Robbery Suspect – Local News | News Articles | National News | US News
An unarmed coffee shop waitress in Hillborough County, Fla., tackled and subdued an alleged armed robber after he hit the Valrico State Bank on Friday, Bay News 9 reported.
The Da Silva’s Coffee Shop employee had been trained in Germany as a police officer, but she was only half the size of the suspect she took down.
Local police said suspect Jeffrey Merritt, 44, ran past Da Silva’s on the way to his getaway car after robbing the bank.
The waitress — the Tampa Tribune reports she wished to remain unidentified — reportedly saw Merritt running with something and looking behind him. She chased him down, yelling, “Freeze or I’m going to shoot” and then tackled him.
She did not have a gun, but the bluff worked, and the suspect surrendered.
“I knew she was a trained officer, but I didn’t know what that really meant,” Karen Raga, a co-worker, told The Tampa Tribune.
Bystanders then helped the waitress sit on Merritt until police arrived.
