Soprano Sarah Brightman
Amazing soprano Sarah Brightman was born in Berkhampstead, England, and her ambition to be an artist was apparent from an early age -- she took ballet lessons starting at age 3. Sarah has more than 150 gold and platinum certifications in 34 countries, and is the only artist to hold No. 1 spots on the Billboard Classical and Dance charts simultaneously. Today, Sarah joins Martha to make Spinach Gnudi and to perform Storia D'Amore from her new album, "Symphony." Special thanks to Sarah and Manhattan Records for giving copies of her new album to our studio audience.
Corbin Maxey
Eighteen-year-old Corbin Maxey, also known as "The Reptile Guy," started rescuing reptiles and founded the Cyprus Hill Reptile Reserve at the age of 12. He joins us today with some fascinating cold-blooded friends. For more information about Corbin Maxey and the Cyprus Hill Reptile Reserve, visit thereptileguy.com.
Good Thing: Heart-Felted Scarf
Martha shows you how to make a Heart-Felted Scarf, a Valentine's Good Thing from crafter Betz White. For more fabulous felted crafts, check out Betz's book, "Warm Fuzzies: 30 Sweet Felted Projects," or the Teacup Pincushion she made on an earlier episode of "The Martha Stewart Show."
The Big Idea
At Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, we're always looking for ways we can inspire our employees to think outside the box. A few months ago, we announced our second annual company-wide Big Ideas competition that gives staff members the opportunity to share their ideas for the future of our brand. This year, we received 40 entries; out of those, we narrowed it down to seven finalists, who share their ideas with you during today's show. The winner will get a cash prize and the opportunity to help develop their idea -- and the choice is all yours. Vote for your favorite big idea on the Martha Blog.
Perfectionism Study
Martha chats with Edward Chang, a University of Michigan psychology professor who's been doing research for his upcoming book, "Positive and Negative Perfectionism." (Publishing date as yet undetermined.) When asking students and their parents to identify a famous living perfectionist, Professor Chang found that the one person overwhelmingly mentioned was Martha Stewart.
