She puts forth a rather sexually tame public image of herself, in large contrast to Howard Stern's flamboyant, sexually provocative on-air personality. At times, however, Ostrotsky has displayed uninhibited streaks in her sexual persona. In the early winter of 2007, she admitted to then-fiance Stern that she has a crush on the actress Katherine Moenning who plays the role of Shane on television's ''The L Word''. Ostrotsky conceded to the fact that she was in fact not a lesbian, but has intimate thoughts toward Moenning and would "blush" if she were ever in Moenning's presence. While being interviewed on Sirius satellite radio by psychiatrist Dr. Keith Abalow in the summer of 2007, Ostrotsky stated, "I'm not a slut but I've lived with many men, even incredibly wealthy men." In December of 2008, she announced that she has always had fantasies of having sex outdoors with husband Howard Stern, but that the couple would probably never be able to due to their fame. During that same conversation, she also expressed interest in engaging in sexual acts with her husband while flying in his private jet.

Beth Ostrosky Stern (born July 15, 1972) is an American actress, author, model, and animal rights activist.

Early life

Stern was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her mother, Judy (née Jarema), is a former model and her father, Robert Ostrosky, is a dentist. Stern was raised Roman Catholic. She has two brothers.

Stern attended Fox Chapel High School in suburban Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania, and took classes for three years at the University of Pittsburgh before leaving to pursue a modeling career in New York City.

Career

Stern received her first noticeable role as one of the daughters of Ben Stiller's supposed birth parents in the 1996 film Flirting with Disaster. She played a more prominent role four years later in the film Whipped, with Amanda Peet. Stern has also appeared on television, appearing in the final season of G4 show Filter, and the Spike TV series Casino Cinema.

She has appeared in her own line of calendars, as well as on the covers of several magazines, including three times on FHM. Votes from the readers of For Him Magazine ("FHM") placed Stern among FHM's 100 Sexiest Women of the Year in 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2007( #76). AskMen.com placed Stern 96th in its list of the Most Desirable Women for 2007.

In 2010, Stern authored Oh My Dog: How to Choose, Train, Groom, Nurture, Feed, and Care for Your New Best Friend, which reached #5 on The New York Times Best Seller list of paperback advice books. In 2014, she wrote the children's book Yoda: The Story of a Cat and his Kittens, which tells the story of a Persian cat with a heart condition that she and her husband adopted. She released a sequel, Yoda Gets a Buddy, the following year. Proceeds from both books went to support Bianca's Furry Friends, a 14,000-square-foot, cage-free animal shelter at the North Shore Animal League, named after the couple's deceased bulldog.

Stern hosted the short-lived National Geographic reality television show Spoiled Rotten Pets in 2013. Later that year, she was named as the host of the first annual Kitten Bowl, a Super Bowl counterprogramming special on the Hallmark Channel which, as of 2019, has continued to air annually with Stern as a cast member.

Personal life

Howard and Beth Stern in 2011

Radio personality Howard Stern, who is 18 years her senior, proposed to Beth Ostrosky on February 13, 2007, after seven years of dating. The couple married at Le Cirque restaurant in New York City on October 3, 2008, in a ceremony officiated by actor Mark Consuelos. As of 2019, the Sterns primarily reside in the Town of Southampton on Long Island, though they also own homes in Manhattan and in Palm Beach, Florida.

Beth Stern maintains dedicated "foster rooms" in all three of her residences for cats and kittens in need of permanent homes, a project she began in 2013. That same year, she launched a personal Instagram account which soon became focused on the animals in her care. As of 2019, it has more than half a million followers and has helped Stern to facilitate roughly 1,000 adoptions.
