Martha Stewart ended her brief relationship with Anthony Hopkins, because she couldn't separate him from his famous character Hannibal Lecter.  

Martha appeared on Howard Stern's radio show last week and admitted she had second thoughts about dating Anthony after watching 'The Silence of the Lambs' while they were dating.  

She said, "Oh, I loved him, but he was... scary. I was going to invite him up to Maine; I have this beautiful home in Maine... but then I reconsidered because I saw that movie again.  

"Do you want someone eating your brain while you are sitting in your beautiful dining room in Maine?"  

Anthony won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Hannibal, but the honor wasn't enough to sway Martha.  

She adds, "I would have probably had a very nice relationship with Anthony Hopkins, but I couldn't get past the Lecter thing."

nearly everything in the above is surprising to me. martha stewart dating? she was dating anthony hopkins? she was on howard stern? wat!?
