Mark Consuelos to be minister at Howard Stern's wedding

Yes — Mark Consuelos, the actor and husband of Kelly Ripa, is getting ready to marry Howard Stern. That is, to Beth Ostrosky. The wedding is set for October, although sources are buzzing that Howard and Beth may have some kind of civil pre-wedding this weekend in the Hamptons.

There’s been talk that this might happen, but stunning blonde Beth confirmed it for me at Saturday's Mercedes-Benz Blue Star Jet Polo bash. This was the Polo party of all time, since there was no Polo match — it was cancelled — and no one noticed. More people than ever came just to have the weekly party. Katie Lee Joel was the guest of honor. Dina Lohan brought her two younger kids. A few horses grazed in the field.

The funny thing about Consuelos is that he’s a good actor who’s kind of gotten overshadowed by Kelly’s success with Regis Philbin. Mark had a long career on "All My Children," has appeared on other shows and is starting to film a new character on "Ugly Betty." Good for him.

Beth told me on Saturday that Mark is an ordained minister. He may have become ordained just for this reason. Who knows? Will Regis be in attendance? Beth said, "It’s not that kind of thing. It’s spiritual."

So the answer is, having Mark perform the ceremony is not to get publicity. They’re going to get it anyway. For the record keepers, Howard’s last wedding was 30 years ago, in 1978.

I think this kind of started off as a goof, but yet, it took off and Mark agreed to it.

I love it!

God that Mark is hot....

^Chick has some serious arms going on. No doubt.

That's probably the publicity part of the ceremony to keep up appearances. My sister is best friend's with a close relative of Beth's who will be at the wedding and I'm sure they are planning something more traditional but very low key (non media) as well. Wish them both all the best.

That is AWESOME.

The commercial where she cleans the wine stain out of her tablecloth? She's so happy someone spills their wine and runs to wash it straight away.

I can see that commercial a hundred times and I always laugh at it.

Hey sweetie!! *smooches*

Couldn't agree more. She's a horseface if I ever saw one. BUT, if he loves her, then its ok with me. It does bother me a bit that everyone seems to fall all over her.....but whatever.
