| MARTHA STEWART INSPIRES FORMER EMPLOYEE TO WRITE MOVIE
Troubled lifestyle guru Martha Stewart has inspired a new movie about an "evil" and corrupt stockbroker -- written by one of her former employees.
"Cleaning Lady," penned by AJ Boles, tells the story of Margo Smith, a TV show host who lands in the midst of a tax evasion criminal trial.
Boles -- who until April spent seven years working on Stewart's TV show "Martha Stewart Living," most recently as a producer -- tells "Star" magazine, "There is nothing redeeming about this character -- she is pure evil.
"Margo is inspired by Martha, but it's not a tell-all. I'm not disclosing any secrets."
Boles, who is currently shopping the script to a movie studio, sees Glenn Close, Susan Sarandon and Jodie Foster as possible contenders for the role.
Stewart's insider-trading scandal culminated in July with a five-month prison sentence. | |
