Martha Stewart, 81, became the oldest cover model for Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit edition. The American businesswoman, TV personality and cook is one of the four cover models for the 2023 issue. The other models are Megan Fox, Brooks Nader and Kim Petras. This year's issue aims to celebrate powerful women who 'live in a world where they feel no limitations, internally or externally.' In an interview, Martha Stewart commented about the cover. She said, "I don't think about age very much, but I thought that this is kind of historic and that I better look really good." Ruven Afanador photographed Martha Stewart in the Dominican Republic. She became the oldest woman to ever pose for Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue, surpassing Elon Musk's mother, Maye Musk, who posed in 2022 when she was 74. Sports Illustrated has also deemed Martha as the OG of influencers. Here's everything you need to know about Martha Stewart, a lifestyle icon, fraudster, jailbird, and now oldest Sports Illustrated bikini model. Martha Stewart's early life, modelling career & marriage Martha Stewart hails from a small, single-family in Nutley, New Jersey. As Stewart comes from a humble background, she adapted to cooking, sewing, and gardening. Later, Stewart embraced these chores as hobbies. She began modelling in high school for upscale department stores in New York City. She also appeared in many TV commercials and fashion magazines. In 1961, Glamour magazine named Martha Stewart to the list of 'America's 10 Best-Dressed College Students.' She married Andrew Stuart, a student at Yale Law School. She graduated from Barnard in 1963 and continued to model in New York while her husband established his law career. Martha Stewart's journey from trading to cooking After Stewart's daughter was born in 1965, she halted her modelling career and pursued her interest in Wall Street trading. However, in 1973, Stewart abandoned high finance due to the economic downturn. In the mid-1970s, Stewart taught cooking classes at her home and took small catering jobs. Later, she co-founded the Uncatered Affair with Norman Collier. Her lofty standards and meticulous attention to detail were the key to her success. However, they also incurred significant personal costs, including the breakup of her marriage in 1989. She parted ways with Collier and became the manager of Market Basket, a gourmet food court in a small Westport shopping mall. Later, Martha Stewart developed her catering business, Martha Stewart Inc. Martha Stewart's Rise & Fall Martha Stewart had her television programme, daily radio show, website, and syndicated newspaper columns. Martha Stewart Living was a hit in the late 90s. She became invincible and excellent at everything she touched. However, Stewart came under federal investigation for insider stock training because of the suspicious sale of nearly four thousand shares of ImClone stocks on December 27, 2001. On March 5 2004, she was sentenced to five months in prison, followed by five months of house arrest. ALSO READ | Danny Masterson's rape retrial: Closing arguments set to begin WATCH WION LIVE HERE

&nbsp;Lifestyle guru Martha Stewart is joining Canadian marijuana producer Canopy Growth as an adviser to help develop and launch a line of pot-based products for humans and animals, it said on Thursday.

The deal between Sequential Brands Group Inc, which owns the Martha Stewart brand, and Canopy will seek to leverage Stewart's knowledge of consumer products in the launch of products based on CBD, the non-psychoactive chemical found in marijuana.

Stewart, who became a household name through her books and cooking and lifestyle television shows starting in the 1980s, co-hosts a show with rapper Snoop Dogg, who made headlines last year for smoking marijuana in front of the White House.

Sequential's shares were up 28 per cent in afternoon trading.

"I'm especially looking forward to our first collaboration together, which will offer sensible products for people's beloved pets," Stewart said.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has prohibited companies from adding CBD to food but many drinks companies have announced plans to use it.

Corona beer maker Constellation Brands has signed a deal with Canopy to make various pot-infused drinks.

Cannabis companies in Canada have been pouring cash into their businesses to both fend off competition and develop new products, especially after the country approved the use of recreational marijuana in October.

Canopy has also announced plans to invest between $100 million and $150 million in a hemp industrial park in New York state.

President Donald Trump&nbsp;on Thursday&nbsp;pardoned a conservative commentator and said he was considering pardoning lifestyle maven Martha Stewart and commuting a former Illinois governor's prison sentence, prompting critics to accuse him of subverting the rule of law.

Trump announced on Twitter his decision to pardon pundit and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, who pleaded guilty in 2014 to U.S. campaign finance law violations and was an outspoken critic of Democratic former President Barack Obama, saying he had been "treated very unfairly by our government!"

The Republican president then told reporters on a flight to Houston he was also considering a pardon for Stewart, who was convicted in 2004 on charges of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and making false statements in an insider-trading probe.

James Comey, whom Trump fired as FBI director last year and has repeatedly assailed, was the lead federal prosecutor in Stewart's case and played a role in the prosecution of Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the chief of staff to former Vice President Dick Cheney. Trump pardoned Libby in April.

Trump also said he might commute the 14-year prison sentence of former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, a Democrat convicted of corruption charges, and was considering pardoning a woman convicted of a drug-related charge after reality TV star Kim Kardashian discussed the case with him&nbsp;on Wednesday.

White House spokesman Hogan Gidley, briefing reporters on Air Force One as Trump later flew to Dallas for Republican fundraising events, denied that celebrity was a consideration in whom the president decides to pardon.

"Look, there are plenty of people the president is looking at right now under the pardon process," he said.

The U.S. Constitution gives the president the power to issue pardons, and Trump sometimes has used that authority to benefit convicted figures revered by some on the political right such as former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio and Libby.

After D'Souza's pardon, some constitutional scholars, legal analysts and Democratic lawmakers accused Trump of undermining the rule of law with pardons based on political considerations.

Critics said the president was sending a message to people caught up in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into whether Trump's 2016 presidential campaign colluded with Russia, including his longtime private lawyer Michael Cohen, whose business dealings&nbsp;are separately under scrutiny in New York.

"Trump's Dinesh D'Souza pardon today, on top of his pardons of Scooter Libby and Joe Arpaio, makes sense only as an elephant-whistle to Michael Cohen & all who know damning things about Trump: protect me & I'll have your back. Turn on me & your goose is cooked. More obstruction!" Harvard Law School constitutional law professor Laurence Tribe wrote on Twitter.

"As with the pardon of Joe Arpaio, Trump is sending a message that he will reward political allies for loyalty with get-out-of-jail-free cards," Democratic U.S. Representative Don Beyer said on Twitter. "He doesn't care about the rule of law."

Trump denies any collusion with Russia and has called Mueller's probe a "witch hunt."

D'Souza, 53, admitted in 2014 he illegally reimbursed two "straw donors" who donated $10,000 each to the unsuccessful 2012 U.S. Senate campaign in New York of Wendy Long, a Republican he had known since attending Dartmouth College in the 1980s.

He was sentenced to five years of probation after telling the judge he was ashamed of his actions and contrite. "I cannot believe how stupid I was, how careless, and how irresponsible," D'Souza wrote in a statement to the judge.

Some conservatives complained of selective prosecution of D'Souza. The prosecutor, Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, was an Obama appointee later fired by Trump.

On Thursday, D'Souza thanked Trump in Twitter posts that also slammed Bharara. "KARMA IS A BITCH DEPT: @PreetBharara wanted to destroy a fellow Indian American to advance his career. Then he got fired & I got pardoned," D'Souza wrote.

Bharara earlier said on Twitter: "The President has the right to pardon but the facts are these: D'Souza intentionally broke the law, voluntarily pled guilty, apologised for his conduct & the judge found no unfairness. The career prosecutors and agents did their job."

Stewart and Blagojevich both were involved with Trump's "Apprentice" reality TV television show.

Blagojevich was convicted of corruption offences including soliciting bribes for appointment to the U.S. Senate seat Obama vacated after being elected president in 2008.

Last August, Trump pardoned Arpaio less than a month after his conviction for criminal contempt in a case involving racial profiling of Hispanics. Arpaio was known for his crackdown on illegal immigrants in Arizona's Maricopa County.

Libby was convicted in 2007 of lying in an investigation into the unmasking of a CIA agent.

Trump last week posthumously pardoned boxer Jack Johnson, the first black world heavyweight champion, who was jailed a century ago because of his relationship with a white woman.
