Still, years later, Howard Stern, presumably having unlimited female choices, "picked me!" So maybe her looks are not so off after all. And with a little surgical nipping and tucking here and there, voila! Beth looks the best she ever has. A Christie Brinkley look-alike.

Howard of course proposes marriage, but only if Beth first gets naked for the honor. Beth needs to know that her value, her sole value, is that body of hers.

Fast forward a decade. The celebrity status and TV offers that Beth expected as a result of Howard's coronation of her haven't happened. Nothing permanent, at least. Or successful.

Uh-oh. Beth's looks are all she has, and they are dwindling by the day. She gave up everything - kids, friends, interests, a normal life.

She's bored, vulnerable, and desperate for validation. And so she tweets. And tweets. And tweets again. Look at me! Aren't I beautiful? Let the compliments rain down!

Sad. Pathetic. But great fun for all of us.

I quote Illuminati Jones: a tragicomedy.
I was all geared up to butt-smooch this post, and then you go and quote me!

love the phrases "Howard's coronation" and "bored, vulnerable, and desperate for validation"

She has over 172,000 followers on Twitter. I'm sure she sees them all as "fans" of hers............................minus a few obnoxious jerks when in fact the opposite is probably more accurate.

What is there to be a fan of, exactly?!?

I think she's down to living for the next bright, shiny, expensive thing she can screech-whine out of Howard, opportunities to hang with real celebs in the hopes of becoming one herself, and those sycophantic, probably paid for by Howard, "you're so beautiful" responses to her tweets.

And there's a desperation to her tweeting, like she'll feel she'll lose her fans if she doesn't keep them "entertained". That's why she can't stay off it; it's a compulsion.

Is there any doubt she puts more effort into her Twitter account than in pleasing her husband?

And I'm sure she is really, really, really bothered by the people who bust her balls on twitter. It's probably the equivalent of pissing in church to her.

Actually, I'm sure she's been reduced to tears by some of those comments. If she clomped angrily away when Howard was playfully goofing on them not getting a cat, what's she do when shit get real and hits bone?
