Girlfriend hit the trifecta of serving time: her stock quadrupled, she's signed up for two new television shows, and she lost 20 pounds. She also thawed her "ice queen" persona, becoming something of a sympathetic figure to the public. Martha's extreme makeover, Prison Edition, seems to have been a huge success. Dude, lock me up and throw away the key. [more...]
