Martha Rakes It In!

Filed under: Martha Stewart

wenn20902083__opt.jpg

Not even the empire of Martha Stewart is safe from the recession!

Her stocks have fallen a whopping 67% since this time last year, placing shares at $2.50 a pop.

And it turns out that Miss Martha might have some explaining to do!

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, it was revealed that the HBIC received a compensation check in 2008 that exceeded what she earned in 2007, which included "$3.6 million in 'other' compensation" comprised "mainly of payments in connection with the firm’s license rental agreement with her, plus $193,066 paid to her as 'talent' on the company’s TV show and $100,000 in a nonaccountable expense account."

Additionally, the company is footing the bill for Martha's pricey home security and backup power supply system, which it considers "required" but also "recognizes that these costs can be viewed as personal benefits."

Daughter Alexis Stewart got paid $209,000 for Whatever Martha, which was picked up for a second season.

    I was having lunch with Martha the other day at her farm in Katonah. I excused myself from the table, and proceeded to piss in her bathroom sink. My yellow urine complimented the pale blue of the imported marble tile.

    Another fucking liberal jail bird making good. Sorry Ted Kennedy you did not go to tail, you fat pig, that even gave up his Catholic faith.

    Re: Melissa is always RIGHT – #5 Is that not the most hideous thing you've ever seen in your life???? WTF??? I'd expect Mario to wear that, but Martha? Mario would pair his wrap with his lovely one size too small kilt and his pretty pink clown boots………………….



  18. 18

    She's an ex-con. What do you expect?! She's a whore for money, drugs, fame, and whatever feeds the beast.



  19. 19

    What are you implying Perez? It's her company, she can pay herself what she wants and take whatever bonus she wants. If the stockholders don't like it they can sell their stock.

    And whatever about her stock being down 67%. Maybe you haven't noticed, but the stock market is down. BFD if she got a bonus.

    Martha Stewart is going green. She's all about recycling. That dress was made from my mother's drapes.



  21. 21

    what the shit is she wearing? what a nasty c*&t



  22. 22

    Doesn't that material belong by her window?



  23. 23

    Re: keelytown – shouldnt*



  24. 24

    It looks like Scarlett O'Hara's dress of drapes meets Michelle Obama's 70s style inauguration getup.

    Yeah, they move the beads on the counter around. There are a lot bigger fish than Martha who duck out of absolutely everything, yearly. Sigh.
    That's one gorgeous outfit. Martha's looking fine here.



  26. 26

    Her dress looks like the inside of a house



  27. 27

    what is that crap she's wearing? a scarf-slash-broom? tragic…



  28. 28

    Here we go again.
    Guess she didn't learn the first time around.
    Maybe she needs a new handmade shawl again? lol



  29. 29

    Martha is going green. She's into recycling. Those are my mother's drapes.



  30. 30

    mario, you just said of bunch of NOTHING. you did not explain ANYTHING. how can ANYONE tell if she did anything illegal from 1 paragraph? This is something she filed, what she made and what the stock is worth are two totally different things. and to remind people, she was jailed for selling her stocks after receiving information, insider trading. Half the people trading could be charged with insider trading.



  31. 31

    The GREEDY bitch did NOT spend enough time behind bars, and a convicted felon should not be allowed to have her television show back. GREED GREED GREED … it's a bad thing!



  32. 32

    actually reading the article, and I guess you did not read it, she is not in trouble, her company paid her this and also paid others in the company alot, yes, questionable since the stock dropped sooo much. It will be up to the company to reorganize and being down payments for things and I am sure she will want that since Martha will not want her company to go under.



  33. 33

    seriously….can she do anything else with the hair?



  34. 34

    Is there any chance she could be arrested again? For stealing those drapes she is wering from The Hilton Hotel?



  35. 35

    I MET HER AT A BOOK SIGNING AND SHE WAS NICE TO ME. SHE THOUGHT I WAS HOT!!!
