My Purpose - How to Use Cats to Get Attention

Beth Stern's recent TV shows have been disastrous, as Mom Caves and Spoiled Rotten Pets were both "one season and done" and a pilot for Gossip Cop never even made it on the air.  Beth is now "all in" for reinventing herself as a self-proclaimed animal expert/activist.  

It's full steam ahead as the November release date for her new book (Yoda: The Story of a Cat and His Kittens) draws closer.  So far, most of the publicity has come from Beth's Instagram and Twitter accounts, as well as former Stern-show intern (turned unofficial minister of Stern propaganda)  Marianne Garvey of the NY Daily News.

On Tuesday, Beth took a break from her constant posting of selfies and kitten pictures on Instagram and hopped in a limo to New York City in order to visit the Sirius/XM studios.  Apparently Beth is having Robin Quivers narrate the audio version of her Yoda book.  This is quite an amazing recovery for rotund Robin, as the wigged vegan had just backed out of attending the Texas Veggie Fair at the last minute due to what was described as an "extreme personal situation". 

Beth mentioned that Robin was 'perfect' to tell Yoda's story.  Granted, no one wants to hear Beth's screechy voice narrate a book, but it is an interesting decision to have an obese, old and childless woman tell the fictional story of a male cat who dreams of being a 'supercat'.

Fun fact:  Scott Salem also did the recording for the "Birth Day" album by Howard's daughter Emily Stern - her Zoo Za Zoo track seems to be especially well-liked by reviewers on Amazon.  Perhaps  this studio was the same place that Emily recorded the dulcet melodies and other odd sounds heard on the album.

Beth has yet to announce any book signings or TV appearances to promote the amazing new book, although she is taking time out of her busy schedule to do more Kitten Bowl filming and will be a presenter at the upcoming WebMD Health Heroes Awards, at which a red carpet and photo op will likely be present.  She posed for a picture with former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason, who is embarrassing himself by being involved with some fantasy football Kitten Bowl stunt -  her hands are almost as big as his.  

While Beth will take any sort of appearances and gigs she can get, one can only imagine that it has to be a bit embarrassing for Howard's kids to see step mom make a fool of herself with this cat lady persona.  Howard has made enough money for them to pay for the entire kitten wing that will allegedly be the recipient of proceeds from the Yoda book - it's surprising that the animal lovers don't just pony up the cash to get the project moving, but doing that would deprive Beth of chances to make public appearances.
