Steve Langford announced during a Howard 100 News Brief that Artie missed the premiere of Howard Stern's Private Parts movie back in March of 1997 because he was in rehab. Artie admitted to Steve that his mother called him while at the Honesty House rehab crying that her son couldn't attend his idol's big movie premiere. Steve also gave himself a little plug by telling Howard that he wrote Pat Coopers monologue for his red carpet appearance.
11 years later, Artie is still battling addiction.
