Lawsuit! First Amendment! Jerks! That was Howard Stern's response when West Hollywood demanded he pay for police protection during a book-signing. But in the end, he moved the event to Pasadena, Calif.
An estimated 8,000 to 10,000 people lined up to get autographed copies of Stern's best-selling "Private Parts" at a bookstore Thursday. Some waited for more than 18 hours, despite overnight temperatures in the 30s."It's the biggest crowd we've had since Jimmy Carter was here about six years ago, and maybe Dr. Seuss nine years ago," store clerk Tim Christopher said.

West Hollywood had demanded that Stern or the bookstore he had planned to visit pay $14,000 for extra police and post a $25,000 bond against damage.
