Martha Stewart, 71 Years Old And Still Looking Great: A Look Back The First Lady Of Home Décor's Top Five Greatest YouTube Clips Of All-Time

Martha Stewart took the stand last week in New York State Supreme Court in a battle between two of the nation's largest retailers Macy's Inc. and J.C. Penney Co. over whether the latter has the right to sell Stewart's products.

When Martha Stewart, who is 71 years old, appeared in court nearly 10 years after the insider trading scandal that sent her to prison, one thought was going through the minds of many: she still looks great.

The undisputed queen of home decor and a master entertainer, Stewart has had her ups and downs in her more than four decades as an icon of home decorating and cookbook publishing,

Stewart is a successful businesswoman, an author, a magazine publisher and a television personality.

Although she served a five-month sentence for insider training in 2004, Stewart has since bounced back with a successful comeback. Her Martha Stewart Everyday line of home product is sold in Sears and K-Mart stores nationwide.

To celebrate Martha's resilience here's a look back at the Top 5 Greatest Martha Stewart YouTube Clips of All Time.

1. Martha breaks bread with Snoop Dog.

He reportedly goes by Snoop Lion now, but the artist formerly known as Snoop Dog was all smiles on Martha's show back in 2008 as he and Stewart chatted about the inauguration and the rapper's ghetto slang word choice.

That was before Snoop took issue with one of Martha's choices of ingredients, in an incident that can only be described as Spicegate.

"White pepper?" Snoop asked, when finding it was the only spice on the "Martha Stewart Living" set. "I ain't never seen white pepper. I don't like that. I like black pepper man."

Stewart didn't skip a beat.

"Can we have black pepper?" Martha asked her staff urgently. "Black pepper please."

2. Martha tells Stephen Colbert about getting turkeys drunk before she kills them.

"You know those little bottle of cognac and bottles that are on the airplane?" Martha asks Stepehen Colbert in a November 2010 Thanksgiving-themed appearance on the Comedy Central show "The Colbert Report."

Stewart tells Colbert she uses the bottles to get turkeys drunk before she slaughters them.

Stewart admits to already having killed six turkeys that year in that method.

"You get the bird drunk?" Colbert asks incredulously.

You bet she does.

3. Martha Stewart gets hammered in blooper reel.

"You can see...from this delicious margarita in my hand...what margarita in my hand?" asks a clearly hammered Martha in one clip from this 2009 blooper reel. She presumably drank the delicious-looking cocktail.

Other blooper highlights include Martha fending off actor Martin Short's advances and riffing on rubbing meat with Robin Williams.

Oh, Martha.

4. Stewart gets into character preparing baked Alaska with Andy Samberg.

Andy Samberg and Martha look smashing in matching snowsuits in this 2010 bit on "Martha Stewart Living" where the pair prepares the dessert baked Alaska.

The Saturday Night Live alum and Lonely Island band member was particularly into the part of the process that involved a blowtorch.

"This is like 'The A-Team,'" Samberg quipped.

5. Charo tears it up on guitar on "Martha Stewart Living."

Although "Martha Stewart Living" is not a show thought of for its musical performances, Spanish actress and musician Charo gives a blistering performance of the song "Malaguena" in this clip from 2008.

Keith Richards called the song the true badge of guitar playing in his 2010 autobiography "Life."

"A little 'Malaguena' and you're in," he wrote.

For Charo, this is surely the case.
