NEW YORK (Reuters) - Celebrity homemaker Martha Stewart has been denied entry to Britain because of her 2004 U.S. conviction for lying about a stock sale.
Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc, the company founded by Stewart, said the 66-year-old businesswoman had been planning to travel to Britain for business
meetings.
"She has engagements with English companies and business leaders and hopes this can be resolved so that she will be able to visit soon," Charles
Koppelman, chairman of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, said in a statement.
A spokesman for Britain's Home Office, which runs the UK Border Agency, said it does not comment on individual cases.
"We continue to oppose the entry to the UK of individuals where we believe their presence in the United Kingdom is not conducive to the public
good or where they have been found guilty of serious criminal offenses abroad," he said.

In all fairness, we are denying entry to people who've been convicted of traffic violations in their own country.
poor Martha, that little mistake
is still bitting her in the ahs. too funny. I personally think Martha is highly overrated.
