Martha Stewart was back in the legal spotlight last week--at another high-profile trial that has obsessed the media. As Scott Peterson went on trial for the murder of his pregnant wife Laci, the defense scored a surreal but key point by playing a videotape of the TV homemaker. Peterson had said that on the morning the prosecution says he killed Laci, she was watching Stewart talk about meringue.

Pinkins' only non-Tony nomination was for Best Supporting Actress in a soap opera ("All My Children" in the early 90s). Chenoweth and D'Abruzzo have been seen, fleetingly, on "Sesame Street" - the first as Ms. Noodle, the second as a puppeteer. This is Broadway's idea of star...
