3/18/2005: A good year for celebrities in trouble
First Martha Stewart's convicted for lying to officials, now Li'l Kim.. meanwhile Robert Blake goes home.. the outcomes for big names in court aren't as predictable as they used to be.
Martha's 5-month house arrest is on her 153-acre estate in Bedford, NY (see it on Keyhole). She bought up several parcels in 2000-01 to reconstitute the former Cantitoe Farm of bygone days, and has been running a multimillion dollar renovation since including construction of an ornate greenhouse and stable complex, a carriage house for her horse-drawn buggies, am office building, and reconstruction of two clapboard houses - one dating from 1784. The property's so big that much of it is out of allowable range of her electronic tracking anklet.
Since Martha went to jail, it's a safe bet Li'l Kim will also.. she's got some bucks too, but I think she's put more of hers into wigs 'n wardrobe 'n bling than real estate.
