Those aren't shoulder pads pal! That's pure Martha beefcake.

Witch Haven, CT - Martha Stewart stunned a throng of courthouse reporters who so wished they had other jobs by filing an appeal over her insider trading conviction that blames her inconsistent behavior on the fact she was inadvertently on steroids provided her by Greg Anderson of the Bay area steroid firm Balco! Anderson, indicted on federal charges, has never had contact with Stewart, but apparently Barry Bonds taped an episode of her show, "Martha Stewart Living," in which the duo cooked sage cornbread stuffing from scratch. Stewart craved the recipe only hours later, and soon began cooking and eating the stuffing regularly at breakfast, added 12 pounds of bulk in just three weeks, which is "just not a plus on camera," said her director Nuney Pouff. As time wore on and her stuffing intake grew, Stewart increasingly shunned the use of the electric blender in favor of vigorous hand blending of all ingredients. The weekend of her ImClone stock tip she also made lemon meringue pie for 40 guests from scratch, all hand whipped. There's not much hard evidence to back up her claim, as she's so anal retentive that all her cooking utensils are immediately bathed in a 180-degree boil wash within ten seconds by a fearful assistant, so no steroid residue has ever been found. But Stewart did apparently try to book Gary Sheffield, Jason Giambi and Sammy Sosa on a "Baseball Barbecue" episode and was stopped only by her lawyer and the show's ratings monitor.
