Martha Stewart Jokes That She Wishes Some Of Her Friends Would Die So She Can Date Their Husbands
Martha Stewart recently went on Chelsea Handler’s podcast, Dear Chelsea (via HuffPo), and wished death upon her married friends. Well, kinda. The two were chatting about dating, and 80-year-old Martha brought up “two mad crushes” she’s had in the last month. Unfortunately, one of these men was married to the mother of a friend of hers, and Martha says that, while she’s been propositioned more than once, home wrecking just ain’t her style. She adds she has no problems meeting men, but “they’re all married to friends of mine or something like that.” Chelsea, 47, sympathized, and said it’s tempting because “you wanna believe that, oh, maybe this relationship that they’re in is temporary…” And that’s when Martha dropped this bomb: “Or maybe they’ll die. I always think, oh gosh, couldn’t that person just die?” And just when I thought I couldn’t love this bitch anymore, she says she wants her friends to die so she can score some old dick. An American treasure!
Chelsea responded, “The wife?” And Martha said, “Yeah! Not, not painfully. Just… die. But it hasn’t worked out.” Bummer for Martha. Here’s the interview on Chelsea’s podcast. The juicy stuff is around the 8:50 mark:
So Martha is single. She was married to Andrew Stewart from 1961 until 1990. The two share one daughter together, 56-year-old Alexis Stewart. Since then Martha has dated Anthony Hopkins (she dumped him cuz she couldn’t stop associating him with his role as Hannibal Lecter), billionaire Charles Simonyi, and journalist Carl Bernstein (as in Woodward and Bernstein of Watergate). Last December she went on Watch What Happens Live, and dished on a “date” she went on with Larry King. Martha says she was under the impression that Larry wanted to chat about journalism, but then he got “a little amorous.” Alas, Larry wasn’t her type romantically or physically. But Martha makes sure to add that she thought he was “the nicest, kindest interviewer”:
You know, I don’t think Martha will be unattached for very long. She’s an octogenarian, so ’tis the season for her friends and loved ones to transcend this earthly plane. I have no doubt she’ll luck out and snag a widower! Might I suggest wearing Scarlett O’Hara red to the dead wives’ funerals?
