Can we safely confide in you that the one person we've been able to rely upon this holiday season, there to comfort us daily with homemade butterscotch eggnog recipes and the proper shade of Krylon with which to gild our manteltop wreaths, is our rock, Martha Stewart?

And what's an episode of Martha without at least one cringe-worthy celebrity interview moment, such as today's exchange with Jeffrey Dean Morgan, the Weeds and Grey's Anatomy actor who's cornered the market on puppy-eyed, dying and/or deceased love interests to TV's stouthearted anti-heroines. Pressing him for details about "fancy shmancy girlfriend" Mary-Louise Parker, Stewart mistakenly assumes Morgan is the mother of Parker's two children, then presses him to label the parameters of their relationship—which Morgan quickly deflects by reminding her of "the incident." Surely, if Martha had intentionally meant to slice the actress's supple flesh, she could have just as easily butchered Parker into a variety of delicious cuts of meat faster than you could say, "Trump Steaks."
