Domestic goddess Stewart must stay at home, says judge

US domestic diva Martha Stewart’s bid for an early release – or at least to be able to leave home more often for work – was dashed by a US judge who ordered her to serve the full five months of house arrest.

The multi-millionaire had told Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum that serving the rest of her sentence would hamper production of her two TV series – a daytime talk show and The Apprentice.
