Celebrity convict Martha Stewart could become the boss on a new version of The Apprentice, according to the New York Post today.

The domestic diva, currently imprisoned for obstruction of justice, recently signed a deal with the show's co-creator Mark Burnett for her own primetime reality series.

That series could well be an Apprentice spinoff, with Stewart in the driver's seat instead of Donald Trump. "I'm certainly open to it," Trump told the Post. "Martha is a friend of mine and I think it's wonderful if she would want to do that, but that's not what NBC has in mind."

Burnett added: "We can't talk about it while she's in [prison]. There could be an announcement before she comes out, but I wouldn't hold my breath."
