Dolly Parton continues to prove that she works much longer hours than the traditional 9-to-5. Her foray into food continues with the addition of a new and surprising culinary endeavor to her resume. In addition to her signature cookware, baking mixes, and line of Southern comfort frozen meals, the iconic country singer will now be the proud partner of a Cornersville, Tennessee, truck stop. Parton has partnered with the Tennessean Travel Stop, with plans to rebrand it with her signature Southern glitz and glam.
Dolly Parton has always loved whipping up feasts of Southern comfort food for her loved ones, including her goddaughter Miley Cyrus. She also loves cooking with her family, even releasing a cookbook with her sister Rachel Parton George in 2024. "Good Lookin' Cookin': A Year of Meals" features a section dedicated to Thanksgiving dishes. When I saw the Parton sisters had their own sweet potato casserole, I knew I had to make it for Friendsgiving. Here's how it went.
In her new memoir Star of the Show: My Life on Stage, Parton writes of the cover version: I didn't even recognize it at first when I heard it on the radio! But since I had written it myself and owned all the publishing rights, the sales and the radio airplay of Whitney's version created a huge windfall. She adds: I was also proud to present Whitney with a Grammy for her rendition in 1994. I've said it many time I will always love Whitney and what she did with my little song.
Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn't been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been led to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She's strong, she's loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she's going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you!
As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile checkup, although it's not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon! In all seriousness, given this, I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show that you deserve to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you.
In the beginning, it was 1981 and bassist Nikki Sixx left London, the glam metal band he'd formed in Hollywood three years earlier, to start a new project with drummer Tommy Lee. Then, they pulled in guitarist Mick Mars, who responded to the duo's classified ad for a "loud, rude, and aggressive guitar player," and eventually persuaded singer Vince Neil, a former classmate of Lee's, to leave his band Rock Candy for Mötley Crüe.
Dolly Parton has launched a new collaborative collection with Dollar General featuring affordable kitchenware and home decor that embodies her signature Southern charm.
