Martha: I Dove Into Lake Solo

Cher who?

Amazingly, that was Martha Stewart's reaction when the doyenne of domesticity heard that Cher had "convinced" her to pose as Veronica Lake in Kevyn Aucoin's stunning new celebrity makeover book, "Face Forward."Cher told this column last week that she had gotten Stewart to commit by saying, "You have nothing to lose. There is no downside."

No one was more surprised than Stewart. "I don't recall Cher ever calling," Stewart told me. "I even asked everyone in my office, and they couldn't
recall Cher calling, either."  In the past, Cher has talked about the dyslexia she suffers. You don't think she could have called Martha Graham? Or maybe Rod Stewart?

At any rate, Stewart said she never believed Aucoin could actually make her look like Lake.

"But he did," she said. "And the entire photo shoot lasted only 30 minutes."
