Imagine the surprise if Martha Stewart, the renowned celebrity chef, ever agreed to grace the screen of The Golden Bachelorette in search of romance. But hold your breath, because recent revelations suggest that such a scenario is far-fetched indeed.
In a lively chat on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, where the stage was set with her good friend Snoop Dogg by her side, Martha Stewart was candidly questioned by the ever-inquisitive host, Andy Cohen. As if pulling a rabbit out of a hat, Cohen inquired whether she would ever consider stepping into the shoes of a contestant on the ABC dating reality show.
With a definitive shake of her head and a chuckle from behind the show's cozy bar, Stewart replied, "Absolutely not!" Her response was swift and unwavering, leaving little room for doubt.
Not one to back down from a good-natured negotiation, Cohen pressed on, dangling the alluring carrot of money. Would a million dollars per episode tempt her? Or perhaps even a whopping ten million? Martha, ever the straight shooter, remained unfazed. "The guys aren't hot enough," she quipped, dismissing the monetary incentives with a dash of humor and a touch of sass.
The Golden Bachelorette, a spin-off that builds upon the beloved Bachelorette framework, showcases an ensemble of mature individuals seeking love amidst the glitz and glam of reality TV. Its inaugural season shines the spotlight on Joan Vassos, a 61-year-old private school administrator and widow from Maryland who once graced the small screen of The Golden Bachelor but had to prematurely exit due to unforeseen family circumstances.
Meanwhile, Martha Stewart has been making headlines of a different kind, promoting her upcoming Netflix documentary, 'Martha,' which is poised to premiere on October 30th. The RJ Cutler-directed film is a poignant chronicle of her meteoric rise to fame, the trials of her criminal conviction, and the extraordinary resilience she demonstrated in rebuilding her life after incarceration. The documentary promises to be a gripping tale of triumph and transformation, adding yet another chapter to Martha Stewart's already remarkable story.
