Artie Lange's dark and painful secret was finally exposed by the New York Post early Thursday morning with a story in their 'Page Six' gossip column that Artie Lange attempted suicide by stabbing himself nine times. 

Howard Stern waited until 7:10AM on Thursday morning's Howard Stern Show broadcast to talk about the Artie Lange 'Page Six' story, and even then he spoke about it reluctantly.

"I don't even know why I don't want to read it on the air," said Howard Stern.  "Maybe I'm in some kind of denial or something."

Howard Stern couldn't read more than a line of the story revealing the suicide attempt and the method and then put the story down.  "I'm so upset about this story," said Stern.  "I'm pissed off that the story got out there."
