MARTHA STEWART - STEWART SUPPORTS SPACE-BOUND PAL

Lifestyle queen MARTHA STEWART flew to Kazakhstan over the weekend (07-08APR07) to watch her reported boyfriend, software magnate CHARLES SIMONYI, become the world's fifth space tourist. Simonyi paid a reported $25 million (GBP12.8 million) to take a 13-day journey to the International Space Station (ISS) with two Russian cosmonauts. Stewart, who is rumoured to be dating the billionaire Microsoft developer, explored the Kazakh town of Baikonur before providing her man with a tasty meal to take aboard the Soyuz rocket. Stewart, 65, was clearly taken aback by the region's breathtaking landscape saying, "Baikonur is beautiful."
