Sorry, Martha Stewart!!

Now that your show is cancelled, Hallmark will be replacing you with Marie Osmond!

ATI is producing Marie's new show, and Hallmark is super excited about it! No, really, super super excited.

But it might be a good thing.

Word has it that Martha Stewart's popular daytime television show will cease production come the spring.

The show made a strange move to the Hallmark Channel in 2010 that ultimately saw it take a downfall in the ratings. Though

Planned Parenthood probably isn't very happy with Martha Stewart.

During a segment on The Martha Stewart Show in which she is making homemade sausage, the ex-con television personality recommended using pig intestines as condoms, saying:

"Well, I bet they work if they work for sausage!"

LOLz! Hmm...we're going to have to kindly disagree with MStew (no relation to KStew) on this one!

Check out the video above to see Martha jokingly give, quite possibly, her worst advice ever.

Martha Stewart had a wildlife expert on her show.

Other than the cute capybara swimming around a big tank on her desk, the expert brought a monkey out.

Even though Martha was nice enough to leave out bananas and grapes for the monkey, the monkey wasn't too grateful.

Check out the above video to see a mischievous monkey on Martha.

Alexis Stewart, daughter of Martha Stewart, has always been pretty open about her relationship with her mother. While the two are very close, Alexis has had no problem airing their dirty laundry.

And nothing's changed in her new book Whateverland where she criticizes her mother's parenting saying that sometimes there wasn't any "prepared food in the home" and she would make her wrap her own Christmas presents.

Oh boo-hoo! Cry us a river, Alexis.

During a very awkward Today show appearance, Alexis says that all those criticisms about her mother were "a joke" and they were "supposed to be funny."

Ha Ha. It's also pretty funny that her entire career revolves around her mother's success.

Watch her uncomfortable interview above.

P.S. The whole exchange between Alexis and her "former" BFF Jennifer Koppelman Hutt is just as weird and awkward too. Poor Jennifer! Honey, good riddance! You are better off having Alexis out your life!

Things are NOT looking good for Ms. Stewart these days.

Last week, Martha Stewart's company reported ANOTHER loss for the quarter, and a new expose released by NY Mag is NOT going to help her cause at all.

Here are some highlights from the SCATHING expose about Martha's company:

Uh-oh.

Martha Stewart's firm — which represents a wide range of products like magazines and house hold items — has reported another loss this quarter. And it isn't looking good:

The lifestyle company's operating loss widened to $2.5 million from $803,000 in the year-earlier period, while overall revenue declined to $54.9 million from $55.3 million. The stock sank 4.3 percent, or 18 cents, to $4.04 on the news.

People say that it's almost like the company is floating by without any kind of strategy at all, and we can definitely see that. We can't remember the last time we even saw a commercial for one of her products, let alone a major partnership campaign with a big retailer or anything — so we hope the new one with Macy's starting in September will help!

Most shockingly is that we heard that Martha was turning 70 next week, though!

Still lookin' good for that age!

Do kids love Martha Stewart?

Well, she's hoping they do because she launched a new web series called Martha & Friends on AOLKids.

Martha will be her 10-year-old self in animated form and is described as a "problem-solving, craft-loving, generous spirit who, along with her three best friends and two dogs, Francesca and Sharkey, aim to spread Stewart's DIY ethic."

Talking about the web series, Martha says:

"Kids are extraordinarily imaginative and we are so glad to be part of a project that encourages, celebrates and rewards their innate creativity and curiosity. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve had a passion for crafting and cooking and my hope is that this series will inspire a whole new generation of do-it-yourselfers."

This is pretty neat! Kids need more crafting in their lives!
