...clear whether MARTHA STEWART took up any new crafts, like, say, tattooing, in prison. But during her five-month term at Alderson Federal Prison Camp, W.Va., she signed on to host two new TV shows, reportedly lost weight and watched her company's stock soar (increasing her wealth some $500 million). So it wasn't totally hard time. Stewart was released on Friday but remains under house arrest at her 153-acre New York estate. Gives a whole new meaning to the term big house...

CONVICTED. SCOTT PETERSON, 32, fertilizer salesman and adulterous husband of Laci Peterson; of first- and second-degree murder in the deaths of his wife and her unborn son, respectively; after a five-month, media-frenzied trial; in Redwood City, Calif. Outside the courthouse, hundreds cheered after the verdict was announced.
