Stern has been careful to control on-air discussions about absent Howard Stern Show co-host Artie Lange since the comedian's suicide attempt in January. Lange stabbed himself nine times before being discovered by his mother.

Fantasia please get those grown people out of your house and make them do something constructive to support themselves. At 26 you should not have the weight of the world on your shoulders. I loved your show but Tiny is a bit much. You are a beautiful singer and i have all your albums you need to focus on your career and Zion and no allow the needs of other put you off track. I am also a single parent and there is a big difference between needs and wants. My kids want $100 tennis shoes but what they need are just shoes. When there is no limit to what you give people they will continue to ask if you give all of yourself to everyone else what will you have left for you. You have come a long way continue to fight and love yourself because to everyone else you are a checkbook with no limit. You fans love you
suicide by aspirin, you have got to be kidding me,
He made light of the fact it was Aspirin but he did not go for the big jokes. He still feels horrible about Artie. After comments today on the Wrap-Up show, it sounds like he will never be back on the show. Too bad if thats true cause I love Artie and the show with him is the state of the art Stern Show.
