Sora Song
It’s not yet clear whether MARTHA STEWART took up any new crafts, like, say, tattooing, in prison. But during her five-month term at Alderson Federal Prison Camp, W.Va., she signed on to host two new TV shows, reportedly lost weight and watched her company’s stock soar (increasing her wealth some $500 million). So it wasn’t totally hard time. Stewart was released on Friday but remains under house arrest at her 153-acre New York estate. Gives a whole new meaning to the term big house.
