Report: Stewart Loses Contest in Prison

NEW YORK (AP) - Martha Stewart, who built a billion-dollar media empire based on her holiday and home decorating tips, was unable to lead her team to victory in a prison decoration contest, a magazine reported.

Stewart and a team of fellow inmates at a federal prison camp in Alderson, W.Va., crafted paper cranes to be hung from the ceiling, People magazine reported in an article posted on its Web site Wednesday. They lost out to a competing team that built a nativity scene showing ``pictures of snow-covered hills and sleds and clouds on the wall,'' the magazine quoted an inmate as saying.

Each team was given $25 worth of glitter, ribbons, construction paper and glue to build a display based on the theme ``Peace on Earth,'' the magazine said.

Stewart was convicted along with her stockbroker of lying about why she unloaded shares of ImClone Systems Inc. stock in 2001, just before the price plunged.

She is due to be released in early March from Alderson, then must spend five months confined to her home in Bedford, N.Y.

Following the house arrest, she is scheduled to begin shooting a daytime talk show with a live studio audience.

Hah, yeah I read about this earlier today.

I heard that like a week ago, but think about it. If she had won everyone would say it was rigged, and if she lost everyone would laugh at her. So it's a lose-lose situation.

Regardless, this is probably the greatest piece of news that I've ever heard over the course of the year. Period. [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

Nice to know this is what my tax dollars are going to.

Wow. How could I have passed up time for this?

I'm not sure that Martha's the best choice for decorative advice anymore. Maybe the problem is that she was too "politically correct" to make a Nativity scene, but the other team wasn't. BTW, how in tarnation do cranes depict peace on Earth? When I think of paper cranes, I think of the Japanese. When I think of the Japanese, I think of video games. When I think of video games, I think of hitting people with swords.

I think you have summed it up the best. Other than that, this is pretty funny. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Pie baking contest depicting diversity between children.

Mmmmmmm, irony.

This is wrong. The American Legal System should not cater to celeberties. I never commented on this earlier, but her sentence is just really too weak.

Yaarrrr, I agree! To the gallows with the wench!
