The phrase "Howard Stern's soft side" would have been an oxymoron at one time, but sure enough, the sometimes acid-tongued shock jock came off as gentle and sensitive during Monday's edition of NBC's America's Got Talent, when he consoled a weeping 7-year-old contestant named Mir Money.

After the King of All Media buzzed the adorable West Philadelphia tot rapper off, the boy began weeping and the Private Parts star sprung to action, getting onstage and reassuring the lad he's already a winner for having the guts to perform.

Howard Stern made his highly-anticipated debut on NBC's America's Got Talent's seventh season premiere Monday night, and he showed his charming, articulate side to a mainstream audience that might associate him with potty humor, strippers and sideshow freaks.

In weeks leading up to the premiere, the Parents Television Council called for a boycott on the show's advertisers based on Howard's "decades-long penchant for profanity" and assumption he'd "conduct himself in precisely the same manner as he has done for decades."

Two radio giants, Howard Stern and Ryan Seacrest, crossed paths in a simulcast in advance of Stern's widely-anticipated debut on NBC's America's Got Talent Monday night.

The Private Parts star, who's replacing former judge Piers Morgan on the summer talent show, addressed his unending ribbing of Seacrest throughout the last decade, explaining he "used to question Ryan's sexuality" because of the stories he'd hear about Ryan going out with a myriad of ladies, but not always having sex with them.

Howard Stern hugged and kissed Matt Lauer at the end of a hilarious interview on Thursday’s Today show as the King of All Media talked about replacing former judge Piers Morgan on NBC’s America’s Got Talent.

The Private Parts star said it's "very silly" people are already making predictions he'll be bringing a lewd and crude schtick to primetime.

After suffering agonizing pain and the loss of her looks from having a toxic mixture of cement, mineral oil and a flat tire sealant injected into her face, breasts and buttocks, Rajee Narinesingh says she’s finally on the mend now, although she "still has a long way to go."

In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, the transsexual actress opened up about her painful and embarrassing ordeal, her bright future and her recent appearance on the Howard Stern Show!

On a night he celebrated his 30-year anniversary on late night, David Letterman welcomed Howard Stern as his featured guest, and the King of All Media didn't disappoint, lending his hysterical commentary on pop culture with the inimitable wit that’s made him radio’s brightest-ever star. 

Stern -- who announced in December he's taking the spot vacated by Piers Morgan on NBC's America's Got Talent -- swore to his longtime pal Letterman he wouldn't be promoting his new gig on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, claiming he's a loyal "Letterman guy."

(Stern’s relationship with Leno soured in 2004, when Leno covertly recruited Stern’s lackey “Stuttering” John Melendez to The Tonight Show, where he served as the announcer for five years.)

“I’m not interested in going on Jay’s show,” the radio icon told his TV counterpart. “I'm probably the only idiot in show business who picks sides in these late night wars.

When ya gotta go, ya gotta go -- even if you happen to be in the driveway of one of the biggest movie stars ever!

Seth Rogen told Howard Stern on Monday he once relieved himself in a Snapple bottle while parked in Tom Cruise's driveway, awaiting a meeting with the perennial A-lister.

Rogen said the unlikely joining of forces came at a time Cruise was warming up to top comedians while preparing for the film Tropic Thunder.

The King of All Media is heading to prime-time.

Howard Stern on his radio show Thursday confirmed he'll take the spot vacated by Piers Morgan on America's Got Talent.

“It's [official] - Howard just signed on the dotted line - he is now the newest judge on America's Got Talent! #H100,” according to a tweet from his show’s verified account Thursday. “Howard says he's really excited the America's Got Talent job.”

Stern has long been a fan of TV talent shows, devoting countless on-air hours to discussions of two of his favorites, American Idol and Dancing with the Stars.

From Wrestlemania to the cover of Playboy magazine to the Celebrity Rehab and Surreal Life houses, Chyna’s been there, done that, and then some. 

Now, the Ninth Wonder of the World opens up to Kayfabe Commentaries in their brand new DVD YouShoot: Chyna, answering questions from her fans with the same blunt force she brought into the squared circle.

Nothing is off-limits in this two-hour video, as she dishes on everything from her relationships with famous grapplers such as Triple H and Sean “X-Pac” Waltman, to her time on the VH1 reality circuit, to her burgeoning career in the world of porn for adult giant Vivid.

David Arquette, speaking with The Howard Stern Show, admits he's fallen head over heels for his new girlfriend -- and that the revelation made he and his now-estranged wife, Courteney Cox, break down in tears.

The King of All Media asked Arquette, who's dating Entertainment Tonight beauty Christina McLarty, if Cox decided to give their marriage another chance, if he would do it.

"No ... that window is closed,” the Scream 4 star told Stern, adding that when he told Cox about his feelings for his new love, they both broke down.
