<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/martha-stewart-becomes-oldest-model-in-si-swimsuit-history-with-latest-cover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Martha Stewart</a> has responded to plastic surgery claims after she made history with her 2023 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover, making her the oldest model to grace the cover of the annual issue.
The 81-year-old TV personality/businesswoman — who&#8217;s known for her strict beauty regimen — hit back at critics of her cover and said it&#8217;s not true she&#8217;d ever gone under the knife, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/martha-stewart-confesses-pose-playboy-sports-illustrated-cover">Fox News</a> reported.
&#8220;Well, it’s not true,&#8221; Stewart said. &#8220;I’ve had absolutely no plastic surgery whatsoever.&#8221;
The home entrepreneur said she worked hard to get ready for the cover and shared what she&#8217;s done to take care of her skin all these year to keep its youthful look.
&#8220;I have very healthy, good hair,&#8221; Stewart said. &#8220;I drink green juice every day. I take my vitamins. I eat very healthfully. I have very good skin doctors.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m very careful in the sun,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I wear hats and I wear sunblock every single day.&#8221;
&#8220;I had my regular facials but maybe more frequently and I also got a spray tan … I’m not a hairy person, but I got a complete body wax,&#8221; Stewart continued.
However, the author admitted, &#8220;Every now and then there are certain fillers that I can do for a little line here or there, but I hate Botox.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s a weird thing for me,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I really and truly don&#8217;t do a lot.&#8221;

&#8220;Usually I&#8217;m motivated by pay. But this time I was motivated by showing people that a woman my age could still look good, feel good, be good,&#8221; Stewart said. &#8220;I thought that this is kind of historic and that I better look really good.&#8221;

Stewart also told NBC that it &#8220;was a challenge&#8221; to be on the cover at her age and said she hopes other women will be inspired after seeing her on the cover.

The 81-year-old TV personality/businesswoman/author is shown wearing a white swimsuit with a gold wrap.
&#8220;Usually I&#8217;m motivated by pay. But this time I was motivated by showing people that a woman my age could still look good, feel good, be good,&#8221; Stewart said. &#8220;I thought that this is kind of historic and that I better look really good.&#8221;

The home entrepreneur said she hopes other women will be inspired after seeing her on the cover.
SI Swimsuit magazine editor MJ Day called Stewart &#8220;a legend&#8221; and defended her choice to feature her on the cover.
&#8220;Never in her life has she let her circumstances dictate her outcome,&#8221; Day said. &#8220;She&#8217;s changed with the times—always one step ahead, it seems—to build a wide-reaching business empire.&#8221;

The very first SI Swimsuit issue hit the store shelves in 1964 and, over time, has featured fashion models, influencers, and celebrities from all over the world. Female athletes like former UFC fighter Ronda Rousey and former Olympic medalist Lindsey Vonn have been shown in recent years.

Martha Stewart Becomes Oldest Model In SI Swimsuit History With Latest Cover

There’s an ongoing debate about whether <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/christmas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christmas</a> celebrations should begin in early November or after the Thanksgiving holiday, and now <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/martha-stewart" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Martha Stewart </a>and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mariah Carey</a> are entering the fray.
Stewart made her opinion known during a recent appearance on the &#8220;TODAY&#8221; show. She called out Carey as someone who starts talking about Christmas the day after Halloween. 
“Mariah, you know me, I&#8217;m a traditionalist with a twist. And you cannot give up Thanksgiving just because you don&#8217;t like turkey,” the 81-year-old television personality shared. “I love turkey, and many, many other people love turkey. So do not think we are going to give up Thanksgiving just because you say so.”
A follow-up post on the &#8220;TODAY&#8221; show Twitter page mentioned Carey again.
“‘You cannot give up Thanksgiving!&#8217; @MarthaStewart makes a plea to @MariahCarey to slow her roll after the singer posted a video on social media celebrating the end of Halloween and skipping straight to Christmas,&#8221; the tweet said. “Mariah, what do you say?”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Carey responded by saying she still had respect for Thanksgiving even though she’s ready for Christmas early.
“Dearest Martha!! NEVER will I give up Thanksgiving!!” Carey wrote in her <a href="https://twitter.com/MariahCarey/status/1588316900903514112">reply</a>. “But we can still start getting into the festive spirit now!” 
She continued, “P.S I’d love to have you at my Thanksgiving dinner although I’ve yet to be invited to your Thanksgiving extravaganza! And THAT is MAJOR! Esp if Snoop’s coming!”
Stewart’s original comments were no doubt a response to Carey sharing an Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CkZ0shxqtzt/">post</a> showing the singer switching out her Halloween costume for Christmas decor in an attempt to hype fans for her famous song, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” 
The song has remained popular every holiday season since its release in 1994. It has sold an estimated 16 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling Christmas single by a female artist. 
Most commenters on Twitter were on Team Christmas, pointing out that most of the world doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving.
“Girl, Mariah is a global spokesperson for the Christmas season at this point. Not every country celebrates Thanksgiving or even know what that is,” one person <a href="https://twitter.com/Rhaenyra_Blacks/status/1588379096186499073" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a>.
“Simmer down Martha, Mariah loves all of the holidays and makes Thanksgiving festive as well,” another <a href="https://twitter.com/defclubmix/status/1588321665796440064" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agreed</a>.
“Mariah is the Queen of Christmas, whenever she says it’s time… it’s TIME,” a third Twitter user <a href="https://twitter.com/TODAYshow/status/1588301275690582019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asserted</a>.

Martha Stewart called <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pete-davidson">Pete Davidson</a> &#8220;charming&#8221; but denied the rumors about her being the reason the &#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221; star and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kim-kardashian">Kim Kardashian</a> called it quits.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/martha-stewart">81-year-old</a> TV personality/actress said she would love to speak to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pete-davidson">Davidson,</a> 28, on her podcast but shut down the idea the two were romantically involved after a photo of the two holding hands at the White House Correspondents&#8217; Association Dinner resurfaced and went viral, the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11106965/Martha-Stewart-reacts-memes-suggesting-Pete-Davidsons-girlfriend.html">Daily Mail</a> noted in a recent article.
&#8220;He is a charming boy who is finding his way,&#8221; Stewart told the outlet. &#8220;I&#8217;ve invited him to come on my podcast and I look forward to hearing what he has to say.&#8221;
The photo in question reappeared online after reports surfaced &#8220;The Kardashians&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kim-kardashian">star</a> and Davidson had broken up, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kim-kardashian-and-pete-davidson-call-it-quits-report">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.

In the shot, Davidson and Stewart are holding hands in a friendly gesture as the &#8220;SNL&#8221; star posed standing next to Kardashian in April, the Daily Mail noted.
Sources close to Kardashian recently told <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/08/05/kim-kardashian-and-pete-davidson-break-up/">Page Six</a> that the two have &#8220;decided to just be friends.&#8221;
&#8220;Kim and Pete have decided to just be friends,&#8221; an insider close to Kardashian explained. &#8220;They have a lot of love and respect for each other, but found that the long distance and their demanding schedules made it really difficult to maintain a relationship.&#8221;
In November 2021, reports started surfacing that the pair were dating following Kim&#8217;s divorce from 45-year-old rapper Kanye West earlier that year, <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1341038/kim-kardashian-and-pete-davidson-break-up-after-9-months-of-dating">E! News</a> noted.
At the time, sources told the outlet, &#8220;Pete has told her he doesn&#8217;t want to see anyone else.&#8221;
&#8220;She is telling some people they aren&#8217;t super serious but she isn&#8217;t seeing anyone else … She&#8217;s trying to not make a big deal about it but is super into him,&#8221; the insider added.
Despite all reports, the reality star and Davidson didn&#8217;t make things official that they were dating until March.
Kim and Kanye divorced in 2021 following nearly seven years of marriage. She and West share four children together.

‘Charming’: Martha Stewart Responds To Those Dating Rumors Involving Pete Davidson

DIY maven Martha Stewart joked on Thursday that she had quietly wondered whether certain friends might die to clear the way for her to make a move on their husbands.
Stewart made the comments during an appearance on &#8220;Dear Chelsea,&#8221; comedian <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/chelsea-handler-has-a-lot-of-definitions-for-pro-life-none-involve-protecting-babies/">Chelsea Handler&#8217;s</a> podcast, and explained that she didn&#8217;t have it in her to be &#8220;a home-wrecker&#8221; and the alternative was simply waiting for nature to take its course.
Handler shared a clip from her podcast along with the caption, &#8220;We&#8217;re going to need some men to spice up @MarthaStewart&#8217;s love life. Check out a new episode of Dear Chelsea streaming now.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Handler kicked off the conversation by asking Stewart whether she had any romantic prospects on the horizon.
&#8220;Speaking of men, what&#8217;s going on in your love life these days?&#8221;
&#8220;Nothing,&#8221; Stewart&#8217;s reply was adamant, and she shook her head for emphasis. &#8220;Absolutely zero &#8230; I had two mad crushes in the last month, which is really good for me. But it turns out, you know, one of them is married to the mother of some friends of mine and I just — he’s so attractive.&#8221;
&#8220;You know, you can’t be a home wrecker,&#8221; Handler interjected.
&#8220;No, I’m not. I’ve never been a home wrecker. I’ve tried really hard not to be. I’ve had the opportunity to be a home-wrecker and I have not taken anybody up on it,&#8221; Stewart continued. &#8220;And that’s really where — that’s where I meet men. They’re all married to friends of mine or something like that.&#8221;
&#8220;Well, it’s very difficult because I think there are certain ages we go through where it’s very tempting because you wanna believe that, ‘Oh, maybe this relationship that they’re in is temporary,'&#8221; Handler prompted.
&#8220;Or maybe they’ll die,&#8221; Stewart suggested. &#8220;I always think, oh gosh, couldn’t that person just die.&#8221;
&#8220;The wife?&#8221; Handler queried.
&#8220;Yeah! Not — not painfully. Just die … But it, it hasn’t worked out,&#8221; Stewart added.
Stewart, who is 80, also weighed in on the aging process during the podcast, telling Handler how she really feels about it. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think about age or aging. I do not think about it,&#8221; she said. &#8220;My favorite thing about getting older is absolutely not one thing.&#8221;
Handler recently declared — following a brief stint <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/there-are-too-many-white-men-chelsea-handler-announces-shes-ready-to-come-back-to-late-night-tv/">guest-hosting</a> for comedian Jimmy Kimmel — that she would like to return to late-night television.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/martha-stewart">Martha Stewart</a> used social media to express her vitriol for Supreme Court Justice <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/clarence-thomas">Clarence Thomas</a> with what some followers call a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/racism">racist</a> reaction.
Like so many celebrities, the domestic diva is not pleased with the overturning of Roe v. Wade in a landmark Supreme Court decision Friday. Though six justices concurred on the Dobbs v.s. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, Thomas is getting the brunt of the criticism from all angles. 
It all started when popular Instagram account thefatjewish <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CfNYHtoMzT3/?hl=en">posted</a>, “Time zones are crazyyy…In Australia its 9am, In Rome it’s 1am, and in America it’s 1942 where minorities and women are still controlled by old white men.”
The caption said, “Forget all the obvious reasons why decrepit old men who jizz actual dust (and Amy Coney Barrett, who’s vagina is a chainsaw with teeth) shouldn’t be making laws that control women’s bodies, without abortion there would be like 3-4 of my demon spawn running around AND I THINK AS A NATION WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT NOBODY NEEDS ME PROCREATING.”
Stewart wrote in a now-deleted comment, “and an old black man who doesn’t know who he is,” appearing to reference Thomas.
Commenters were mixed in their support and disgust for Stewart’s post.
The Shade Room posted a screenshot of the interaction, asking followers if they agreed or disagreed with the 78-year-old “Martha Stewart Living” host or believed her words were racist, as some critics asserted.
“Oop! Looks like #MarthaStewart took a shot at #ClarenceThomas! Martha commented on a recent post from #TheFatJewish and some people find her response to be racist. Thoughts, #Roomies?” the account <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CfPEQ6El_87/">posted</a>.
The comments seemed mostly supportive of Stewart&#8217;s words. 
“Martha said what needed to be said. EVERY criticism is not rooted in racism,” the top comment, with more than 27,000 likes, said.
“So racism is now okay when it&#8217;s directed to someone that holds a different political opinion. I got it. Obama is next,” one commenter pointed out.
Stewart wasn’t the first star to attack Thomas. Actor Samuel L. Jackson also launched racial attacks against the Supreme Court justice Friday following the announcement that abortion laws would return to individual states.
“How’s Uncle Clarence feeling about Overturning Loving v Virginia??!!” Jackson <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/samuel-l-jackson-invokes-racial-slur-goes-after-justice-clarence-thomas-marriage-after-abortion-decision">posted</a> to Twitter.
“Uncle Clarence” is likely a reference to “Uncle Tom,” a racial term often used to mock black Americans who have views that differ from popular opinion in the black community. Merriam-Webster defines “Uncle Tom” as “a Black person who is overeager to win the approval of whites.”

Actors are typecast all the time but usually it’s by their fans, not other celebrities. But entertainment guru Martha Stewart is admitting that even she wasn’t immune to actor Anthony Hopkins playing his most famous role as cannibalistic Hannibal Lecter in “Silence of the Lambs.” Hopkins was so convincing as that character that it wound up costing him a chance at love.
The 80-year-old “Martha Stewart Living” host revealed the story behind their breakup during a conversation on “The Ellen Show.” While participating in a variation of the game &#8220;Two Truths and a Lie&#8221; called, &#8220;Where&#8217;s the Lie, Martha?&#8221; Stewart gave the clue, &#8220;I dated Sir Anthony Hopkins but broke up with him because I couldn&#8217;t stop thinking of him as Hannibal Lecter.&#8221;
Ellen DeGeneres incorrectly guessed that the Hopkins clue was a lie. But Stewart surprised her by saying it was the truth. 
&#8220;I have a big, scary house in Maine that&#8217;s way by itself on 100 acres in the forest, and I couldn&#8217;t even imagine taking Anthony Hopkins there,&#8221; Stewart explained to DeGeneres. &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t — all I could think of was him eating, you know&#8230;&#8221;
The talk show host asked Stewart if she broke up with Hopkins &#8220;because of that,&#8221; and she confirmed, &#8220;Yeah.&#8221;
Stewart didn’t elaborate on when she dated Hopkins or how serious the relationship was before she decided to move on. But it was likely prior to Hopkins marrying his third wife Stella Arroyave in 2003. 
The “Martha &amp; Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party” host got divorced from husband Andrew Stewart in 1990. According to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/21/entertainment/martha-stewart-anthony-hopkins-hannibal-lecter-intl-scli-gbr/index.html">CNN</a>, she played coy about dating Hopkins in the past, saying they “went out to dinner” but “a girl should kiss and never tell.”
Meanwhile, Hopkins may have lost out on a potential romance, but he did earn accolades for his portrayal as a creepy cannibal. The Welsh actor earned an Academy Award in 1992 for playing the character Hannibal Lecter. Plus, he reprised his role in the 2001 film “Hannibal” and the 2003 prequel “Red Dragon.”
The actor revealed to Vanity Fair how he created the iconic Hannibal&#8217;s voice and demeanor. Hopkins told the publication he modeled the character after Christopher Fettes at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. 
&#8220;There was a teacher we had, a Stanislavsky method teacher, and he was lethal. He would just take you apart intellectually,&#8221; the actor said. &#8220;He&#8217;d just smirk, and he&#8217;d say, &#8216;No. Do it again&#8217;&#8230; I based it on him: &#8216;No, Clarice.'&#8221;
Hopkins said Fettes was a man with &#8220;a cutting voice&#8221; that could &#8220;slice you to pieces,” making him the ideal model for a cannibalistic psychopath. &#8220;His analysis of what you were doing was so precise; it&#8217;s a method that stayed with me for all of my life,&#8221; Hopkins said, according to <a href="https://variety.com/2021/film/news/silence-of-the-lambs-anthony-hopkins-jodie-foster-1234887270/">Variety</a>.
He made his physical appearance very deliberate as well. To portray Hannibal, Hopkins slicked back his hair, while director Jonathan Demme had the idea to make the character pale and advised the actor to stay out of the sun.
&#8220;After my first make-up session, I went to the mirror and thought – &#8216;this is it&#8217;,&#8221; Hopkins said.
The look was so convincing, it kept Stewart from dating him.

Martha Stewart has truly learned the meaning of making lemonade out of life’s lemons. After serving time in federal prison for insider trading, the entertaining guru could have slunk off in shame, never to return to TV again. Instead, the founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia returned to the spotlight and made quite a profit in the meantime.
Stewart has shared tidbits from her five months behind bars before, including a discussion about how she made her own crab apple jelly while she was locked up. But now the 80-year-old cookbook author is taking her talents one step further by selling a replica nativity scene that’s identical to the one she fashioned while incarcerated.
Followers on social media were quick to brand the item, “Martha’s jailhouse nativity scene” while marveling at the quality of the art. Each ceramic set comes with 14 pieces total, including baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, the three wise men, and various animals. The set is being sold for $149.
The “Martha &amp; Snoop’s Potluck” host debuted the holiday-themed decorative item on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@marthastewart/video/7042426249909882159">TikTok</a>. She captioned the video, “You’ll never guess where I made this nativity scene…😇 Get ready for a storytime.”
Then Stewart really made her pitch for why fans should want this particular nativity scene. “If you’d like to give a really beautiful and special gift this Christmas with a little street cred, they’re all inspired by, guess what, a set I made when I was … confined,” Stewart says in the video.
“These are exact replicas of a nativity scene that I made in my pottery class when I was away at camp.”
Each set looks just like Stewart’s original except that it’s presented in white glazed ceramic instead of the original brown color. The item is also missing the talk show host’s prison inmate number, which she shows off on TikTok.
The media brand owner served time in Alderson Federal Prison Camp, a minimum security facility in West Virginia, between 2004 and 2005. She was convicted on multiple felony charges including conspiracy and obstruction of justice after an ImClone stock insider trading scandal in 2001. 
Stewart originally showed off her nativity set on her show in 2007. During the episode, she explained how she had to get special permission to make the nativity since usually prisoners are only allowed to create one ceramic piece per month, The Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10329005/Martha-Stewart-shows-clay-nativity-scene-PRISON-puts-replica-sale.html">reported</a>. 
While she did make the best of her prison stay by making crab apple jelly and ceramic projects, Stewart has admitted in the past that incarceration was a “horrifying” experience.
“It was horrifying, and no one — no one — should have to go through that kind of indignity, really, except for murderers, and there are a few other categories,” Stewart <a href="https://www.today.com/popculture/popculture/martha-stewart-shares-gorgeous-nativity-set-crafted-prison-rcna9261">told</a> Katie Couric in 2017. “But no one should have to go through that. It’s a very, very awful thing.”
Couric wrote in her memoir that prison is what gave Stewart a sense of humor, but the domestic diva clapped back that she’s always had a sense of humor. Selling a prison-designed nativity scene is just one example of that truth.

Martha Stewart Sells Replica Of A Nativity Scene She Made in Prison

Well, she is BFFs with Snoop Dogg.
Lifestyle maven Martha Stewart on Tuesday announced she is launching a line of cannabis-infused products for dogs. The oil drops and soft-baked chews for canines will be part of a joint project with Canopy Growth Corporation, a world-leading diversified cannabis, hemp, and vaporization device company.
The company announced the launch of Martha Stewart CBD for Pet, &#8220;a new line of scientifically-backed CBD wellness solutions for canines developed by Martha Stewart with her own beloved dogs in mind,&#8221; according to a <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/canopy-animal-health-martha-stewart-120000754.html">press release</a>. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound derived mainly from cannabis and hemp that is being researched for reportedly relieving symptoms of anxiety, chronic pain, and can help with insomnia.
<blockquote>The Martha Stewart CBD for Pet product portfolio includes oil drops and soft-baked chews in three gourmet flavor combinations and formulas – Wellness, Calm and Mobility – designed to support pet mental and physical well-being, reduce the effects of everyday stress, and maintain joint health and mobility by harnessing the power of CBD and other ingredients. The product packaging is inspired by Stewart&#8217;s own Chow Chows and French Bulldogs.</blockquote>
&#8220;My dogs are not only my companions, but they are part of my family, and I prioritize their emotional and physical well-being as I do my own,&#8221; Stewart said in the release. &#8220;Just as CBD can support human wellness, it&#8217;s been shown to improve the quality of life for pets as well. With the help of the scientists and veterinarians at Canopy Animal Health, I&#8217;ve created CBD oil drops and savory soft-baked chews designed to support the health of dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds in delicious gourmet flavors that your canines won&#8217;t be able to resist.&#8221;

Stewart says she became curious about CBD after working with rapper Snoop Dogg (aka Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.), a heavy cannabis user, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/26/inside-martha-stewarts-wellness-routine.html">reported</a>. Stewart said she was interested in exploring derivatives of the plant that are said to have health benefits, especially those that help with sleep.
&#8220;I mean I did three seasons of our show, &#8216;Martha and Snoop Dog Potluck Dinner Party,&#8217; learning a lot about cannabis. I’m not a user of cannabis but then I got very interested in not only cannabis but also in hemp and the derivatives,&#8221; she told CNBC.
&#8220;I’m very interested in supplements&#8230; in what will make you live longer, what will make your brain stay clear and what will make you continue to be active. Those are the kinds of things that I’m looking for, not the secret to eternal youth — I’m not taking injections. But I am trying very hard to keep myself in as good shape as possible for a long as possible,&#8221; said Stewart, 79.
