Howard Stern is getting NO love, as his appeal for a lawsuit against Sirius XM Radio was denied in court earlier today!

If this isn't exactly ringing a bell for you, let us refresh your memories.

Back in 2011, Howard filed a lawsuit against the satellite station, claiming the company never gave him the bonuses he was promised for the boost in subscriptions after the Sirius and XM radio merger. But the suit was thrown out when the judge found "inconsistencies" in his contract and the claims he was making!

Ouch!

But Howard didn't give up that easily, as he still felt as though he was cheated

Looks like Howard Stern is NOT happy with SiriusXM right now.

Stern's prod company and manager are filing a lawsuit against SiriusXm Radio, which claims that Howard "was bilked out of stock awards SiriusXM promised him." They are seeking unspecified damages.

As mentioned in the lawsuit, Howard was promised a share "in any success that the company achieved," but Howard's team is claiming that he didn't receive further stock bonuses after Sirius acquired XM, and the 20 million subscribers who came along with it.

In the lawsuit, Team Howard wrote the following:

"Sirius needed Stern more than Stern needed Sirius."

Ha! We'd have to agree with that.

Hopefully they can work everything out. If we were SiriusXM, we wouldn't want to piss off Howard. If he were gone, we're sure that TONS of subscribers would leave along with him.

Who do U side with? Team Howard or Team SiriusXM?

He's got the cutest little baby face and she wants him to keep it that way.

As Selena Gomez continues her media tour to promote Who Says, she continues to field questions about the nature of her relationship with Justin Bieber. This morning, she stopped by The Morning Mash Up on SiriusXM and they wanted to know what she thought of The Bieb's new mission to grow some facial hair.

Answer: Aw, hell to the no!

Okay, she was a bit more diplomatic than that, but she admitted she wasn't so fond of the idea of Justin growing a 'stache. In fact, she confidently stated that she hates “soul patches,” but then revealed she isn't too worried about Justin just yet because so far, no stubble has formed on his chinny chin-chin! She explained:

“You’ve gotta commit. You can’t just be like, ‘All right, let me just do a little one.’ He … needs a little more time."

Ha! Aw! Poor guy! He's trying to show he's a man!

We say give it two more weeks. If you don't have anything going on for you by then…well, at least you have Selena to comfort you about it!

Such a nice way to honor him, we think.

Starting today, SiriusXM’s BPM Channel will air a weekend-long tribute to the late, great DJ A.M. The station will run tons of DJ AM’s own work, including many of his best mixes, such as “Elton Mixes,” “Banana Split Mixes,” “Fix Your Face Volumes 1 & 2,” as well as some previously unheard and unreleased mixes.

Fans will also hear a series of tributes to DJ AM from his friends, including Steve Aoki, DJ Vice, A-Trak and more.

For someone who really appreciated music the way he did, we bet he'd think this was pretty rad!

Maybe the threat of Apple coming in and stealing their shock jock made Sirius up the ante!

Regardless, we bet Howard Stern is just about thrilled!

It was confirmed this morning that Howard will be keeping his infamous radio show on the radio after signing a new five year contract with Sirius XM Radio. The details of the deal have yet to be released, but Howard made mention of it on his show this morning. He told his listeners:

"If we're going to stay in radio, we should stay here. We're in an incredible position and suddenly there's real growth. It's a real business."

A real change in tune since not too long ago he was ranting about how he was going to have do endure a drastic cut in pay.

Alls well that ends well, we guess. At least porn stars still have a place to go now!

Ugh.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger won't be taking much of a break when her current syndicated advice program, Dr. Laura, ends on December 31.

The controversial talk show host has signed a multi-year deal with Sirius XM radio that will begin on Monday, January 2, 2011. Her new talk show will include new segments "that are relevant to the morals, values, principles and ethics that I nag about everyday."

When asked about her decision to move to satellite radio, Schlessinger said:

"The first and most important thing that appealed to me was the freedom to speak my mind without advertisers and affiliates being attacked by activist groups that just love to censor anything they don't agree with. That just about made my heart and head explode."

Oh great. Now she can be a bigger and more obnoxious loud mouth.
