Martha Stewart turns to social media for help identifying Jonathan Cheban

Martha Stewart clearly doesn't keep up with the Kardashians -- or their celebrity publicist pal, Jonathan Cheban.

Stewart ended up sharing a table at a VIP event with Cheban but couldn't for the life of her figure out who he was, despite his insistence that he is "well known." When she kept drawing a blank, she turned to the best available resource: the Daily Mail -- and her 3.16 million Twitter followers.

"Do you know this guy?" she asked, along with the hashtag #seriouslypopular. "He says he is well known."

And it didn't get much better for the reality television personality when she finally figured it out.

Cheban, for his part, was more than happy to tweet about sitting with Stewart, but clearly he hadn't seen her tweets yet -- and how could he? She didn't tag him in them.
