Answers: I think he is hot, and very funny, not to mention generous and a great storry teller, I find him very interesting! Artie is AWESOME! Don't listen to the others, he is nowhere near 400 pounds (yet!). He has not weighed himself lately because he got too depressed last time. The last time he was on the scale, he was 305. It is probably a little more by now. He is turning 40 tomorrow, so I hope this is a wake up call for him to take his health a little more serious! But, I love him no matter what weight! Did you see Beer League? He looked great in that movie! He's hilarious!! I think he is reaching almost 400 pounds. I think he should lay off chocolate bars and dipping them in peanut butter. You can see his pics. at www.howardstern.com.
