Despite what MTV tells you, the baddest blonde in show business isn’t Britney Spears or Beyoncé. Domestic diva Martha Stewart is nothing short of a Hollywood anomaly. “Before she went to prison there was almost kind of a preciousness about her,” says Jesse Barkley, Entertainment Tonight Canada supervising producer. “She was seen as too perfect.”When she returned to the airwaves in 2005, her new show, Martha, had a very different tone than her previous program, Martha Stewart Living. “Martha doesn’t pretend to be perfect even though she’s a perfectionist.”RelatedStewart’s transformation was also perfectly timed to coincide with the evolution of food entertainment.
