As we reported last week, radio personality Howard Stern wed his longtime girlfriend Beth Ostrosky last weekend in a star-studded ceremony. In the weeks prior to the wedding, Stern vented on-air about how he and his new bride agonized over narrowing down the guest list. The final list included Barbara Walters, John Stamos and Joan Rivers, a long time friend of Howard’s. One D-list celeb who made the cut was morning TV host and occasional FOX sports correspondent Jillian Barberie, who is a huge fan of Stern’s and lobbied heavily for an invite. But Barberie, who has a tendency to be a loudmouth, embarrassed herself and made other wedding goers cringe when she joined Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines on stage for an impromptu performance of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide.” She bragged about her invite and performance on FOX.
Here’s video of her bragging about it.
According to Stern, who recalled the incident live on his radio show Monday morning, wedding guests were looking forward to an intimate performance by Natalie Maines, who had sung the couple’s wedding song earlier. They were shocked when a tipsy Barberie joined Maines on stage and ripped into an out-of-tune rendition of one of Howard’s favorite songs, “Landslide.”
I was hoping she’d do ”Landslide” but didn’t want to pressure her into it. Then Jillian Barberie got up to perform the song with her. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love Jillian, but…Jillian was doing all of the singing and Natalie was hardly doing anything. It was horrible. I mean, Natalie probably sings it better than anyone in the world and then Jillian goes up and sings the song at the top of her drunken lungs.

Howard went on to say that when the song was done, some of the guests had actually left, and Sarah Silverman asked him, “What the f$%& was that?” Anyone who’s been to a wedding knows that there’s always someone like this – they drink a little too much and make an ass of themselves. Even at celeb weddings, you kind of have to expect it. But if I were Jillian, I’d probably lay low for a while.

Maybe she thought she was auditioning for Howard’s show.
She’s an embarrassment no matter what the locale.
amen neelyo.
no surprise there. i think she’s drunk every day.
i live in la la land and have to hear her shrieking almost daily should the fox channel be on. or they torture us out here for her “weight loss” commercials. there is no escape from that harpies shrill cackling. 😯
I always confuse her with Debbie Matenapoulas. That’s all I’ve got.
I have no clue who this woman is, but I don’t think I want to get to know her.
What a funny story. I would have loved to have seen a video of it.
Howard makes a living out of the crass and tasteless. He should not be offended if it happens at his wedding. Big deal Howard. Give it a rest.
Listen, it happens pretty much everywhere. Just watch Steve Buscemi in the Wedding Singer.
Classic!
she has always irritated me so much!!!
“I’m not your typical girl, I love sports.” Some get skinny weight loss diet schiller.
Can’t stand her. Don’t like Howard, but man, it’s his wedding. Shoulda booed her off.
Wow, you’ve gotta try real hard to embarass yourself at a Howard Stern party.
Embarrassed? At Howard Stern’s wedding?
How could they tell?
Right on, KD. I love how much she “loves” sports, and then goes on to be a spokesmodel after losing weight on an expensive diet plan.
I mean, look at her arms and chest – no definition to speak of. At least slugs like Madden have served their time on the field. Bitch “loves” sports enough to be a sportscaster, but bitch has never seen the green, nor the inside of a gym.
That’s a ‘c*ck goes here’ expression if ever I saw one.
I wouldn’t expect rocket-scientists to be at HS’s wedding. If that’s the worst that happened, he got off WAY too easy. No midget lesbian strippers jumping out of the wedding cake?
Never heard of her. But someone should have yanked her ass off stage so Natalie could finish the song. It’s one of my favorite songs, also, and if I was privileged enough to have Natalie Maines sing it to me on my wedding day, I’d have gone after Jillian with a goddamn butcher knife for messing it up.
Oh Dante. You are a hoot. A hoooooot.
Do you remember when MadTV did a skit making fun of her, even though she was on Fox, too? I always wondered whose dick she sucked to get that gig. Musta been Stern’s.
Yah, right, she lost SOOOOOOO much weight. Bitch was pregnant and had a kid. Great way to lose weight. Ms. Thang was skinny when she started. What a crock of boohaha.
I don’t care what she does…she’s smoking……I like the bad girl aspect of her.
She’s one of those many has been/never was “celebrities” that doe Nutri- System commercials hoping someone notices her. What did she ever do on tv anyway?
We have Directv so we get east/west coast telecasts. The first time I saw her on the Fox morning show on Fox LA I thought it was a joke.
And the before picture of her in the nutrasystem ads are when she was 9 months pregnant. So a little misleading.
I personally don’t care for either. But if I had to pick one; I’d pick Jillian or for that matter ANYONE over the Dixie Chicks.
i agree jill is a wannabe, name dropping, trying to get notice skank, why she’s on t.v. i will never know, she’s jealous of most celebrity she reports on. i’m glad people call her on it, she is dizzy.
Those of you defending such mindless behavior as somehow cool or acceptable because she’s physically attractive are plain and simply morons.
It’s definitely one of the easiest weight loss plans I’ve tried because there’s no guessing or counting calories or points. I’ll leave another review in a month or two…
actually shocked as hell she married a white guy. she looooooooooooooooves her black men.
I would shove my tongue deep enough into Jillian’s asshole to taste her shit.
