On the heels of learning that "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart" won't get renewed, the domestic diva has been slapped with a lawsuit.

Jury consultant Julie Blackman, who advised Stewart's lawyer regarding the stock sale lying case, is suing Stewart for more than $74,000, report news sources.

The lawsuit filed Tuesday, Nov. 15, claims that before the trial, Blackman was hired by attorney Robert G. Morvillo to formulate a defense plan. On top of the usual jury selection and trial tactics duties, she also conducted phone surveys, checked focus groups and designed a jury questionnaire. Although lawyers are the ones to hire experts, it's done on behalf of their clients, who are responsible for footing the bill. Stewart has yet to be served with papers regarding the lawsuit.

Stewart was found guilty in March 2004 for lying about selling stock in ImClone Systems Inc. She served five months in prison, wore a poncho upon release and then endured five additional months of house arrest sporting a snazzy anklet. She returned to work with her NBC show "Martha" -- where she sold replicas of her poncho of freedom and folded T-shirts Japanese-style -- and with her version of "The Apprentice," which only got a lukewarm reception.
