Martha Stewart

GUESS WHO MODELED TO PAY HER COLLEGE TUITION?

Did you guess that this coquettish young blonde became an American icon – Martha Stewart? She has a history as both a model and a felon (served five months for insider trading) but we think she would have been a perfect Home Economics teacher if she hadn’t gone on to become a mogul. This is one of her early modeling photos – the going rate at the time was an impressive $50 per hour.

THE DAY OF THE DIVA IS OVER

Liza Minnelli, 68, may be a legend but that no longer excuses bad behavior. According to Page Six she was hired to shoot an ad for Pine Brothers Cough Drops (our favorite) and had a mile long list of demands. They included two cartons of cigarettes, a humidifier, 6 cases of Bai antioxidant drink, food and body scales, black Egyptian cotton towels, a $400 coffee service, AND SO ON. (Plus hair and makeup.) It was all waiting for her on shoot day, but she backed out, saying she felt “too much pressure.” Frantic producers called no-nonsense Martha Stewart, 72, and she rushed over and was camera ready in ten minutes. She shot the ad, which ran during The Golden Globes, like a pro. She earned around a million dollars for forty minutes of work! It’s time for Liza and all the other divas in the world – to snap OUT of it! We no longer choose to indulge self-centered people. What the world needs, is more women like Martha Stewart who get the job DONE.

BEFORE SHE PICKED UP AN EGG BEATER, MARTHA STEWART WAS A TEEN MODEL

We love discovering the early work of people who are famous today. Long before she became the world’s most famous homemaker, Martha Stewart was a teen model. She appeared in this Lifebuoy soap commercial sometime in the fifties and is oddly paired with a mature man. Little did she suspect then, that in the future she would be wildly successful, but also spend time in prison for insider trading! Thanks to The WOW Report for this little trip back in time.

CAN LARRY DAVID RESIST MARTHA STEWART'S MAC AND CHEESE?

marthadavidUntitledLarry David is having so many” interesting experiences” as a single man that he’s inspired and decided to bring back Curb Your Enthusiasm for two or three more seasons. One person hoping to be included in those experiences is Martha Stewart. When Larry’s costar Susie Essman guested on Martha’s show, all Martha did was pump her about the newly single Larry. Martha asked Susie if Larry liked women his own age or young girls. (Susie didn’t know.) Martha confessed that she liked Larry a lot and told Susie she”d LOVE to guest on Larry’s show. Susie promised to pass the information along. Who knew Larry David would become a hot commodity in Hollywood?

Not Coming Up Roses

There’s no love lost between Martha Stewart and Barbra Streisand, and it all started in 1997 when Martha became annoyed because she worked on the terrace of Babs’ New York apartment planting rare roses, and never got paid for it. Martha got word through mutual friends that Barbra was interested in her ideas for the nuptials that same year (Josh Brolin), and Martha promptly informed her staff that if Barbra calls take a message, she’s in a meeting!
