Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been the center of media and fan attention these past few days as speculation and concern about her health reached fever pitch. This week, after a dramatic late-night social media plea from her younger sister Freida, who publicly asked for prayers and claimed Dolly hadn't been feeling her best, tabloids and fans leaped to grim conclusions, with some social media posts falsely suggesting the legend was on her deathbed. Dolly herself responded swiftly with a video message posted Wednesday, humorously declaring “I'm not dying!” She addressed these rumors head-on, telling fans she was busy filming ads for the Grand Ole Opry and assuring everyone that rumors of her decline were much exaggerated. According to CBS News and AOL, Dolly was in upbeat spirits, noting she appreciated the prayers but wanted everyone to know she's simply taking doctor-recommended rest after a period of putting her husband Carl Dean, who passed away earlier this year, and other commitments ahead of her own health.This mini-family drama revealed deeper friction inside the Parton clan, with niece Danielle Parton going public to criticize Freida's social-media outburst and urge fans to trust only direct updates from Dolly or official spokespeople. According to IBTimes, insiders say the stress from family drama and public speculation has left Dolly “rattled,” but that she's weathering the storm with her trademark toughness and faith.Professionally, Dolly made headlines with her major business announcement: she's launching the SongTeller Hotel in Nashville—a 245-room, music-filled boutique retreat opening spring 2026. This reported first by Parade, will celebrate her music and storytelling legacy throughout its design, entertainment venues, and culinary offerings. Fans and industry watchers quickly hailed it as a significant contribution to Nashville's cultural and hospitality scene.Although she's postponed her highly anticipated Las Vegas residency and missed the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at this year's Governors Awards due to health reasons, she has assured everyone “God hasn't said anything about stopping yet” and has no plans to retire. This sentiment echoed in a recent interview with Reba McEntire in People magazine—both icons agreed they'd only slow down, not quit, their life's work of entertaining.Meanwhile, her musical Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol is about to embark on a national tour, with stops in over 20 cities through the holiday season. According to regional press releases, the production promises Dolly's signature warmth and songwriting brilliance, reimagining Dickens' classic for a festive American stage. Social media has been abuzz with supportive messages, with fans sharing excitement about new ventures and outpourings of goodwill backing her recovery and ongoing projects.The recurring headlines have been: Dolly Parton launches SongTeller Hotel, Dolly Parton says “I'm not dying” after family prayer post sparks rumors, Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol National Tour announced, and Dolly Parton delays Las Vegas shows due to health. While some celebrity rumor mills continue to churn, the reliable story is that Dolly, though compelled to slow her pace, continues to shape country and pop culture through business, music, and her indomitable spirit.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Welcome back to A Cozy Christmas Podcast! Summer's heat can make it hard to feel the Christmas spirit, but it's still there—waiting to be found and shared! In this episode, I talk about how creativity can spread joy—especially Christmas joy—and I take a moment to reflect on Currier & Ives and their timeless winter scenes. For our story today, I read the first two Christmas chapters of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. The March sisters' creativity, generosity, and joy shine through—whether in giving to a family in need, receiving an unexpected gift from a kind neighbor, or staging a delightfully chaotic homebased theatre performance. Together, they remind us that the best gifts we give (and receive) are always the most heartfelt.

Hey! Psst... you're supposed to let other people give you compliments. Yeah and psst, she didn't pay for any of that shit!" It wouldn't be Christmas with the ALDC without a little coal in your stocking from good ol' Abby! this week to celebrate Christmas our Holly Jolly Btiches are stepping back a week from the slap heard around the world to cover Season 4's Christmas Special "Twas the Fight Before Christmas".Abby is prepared to give gifts to all the moms and girls, but wouldn't you know it, just like in any normal week of the show Abby has a funny way of showcasing that some people are her favorites. Is it really fair if one kid gets a vanity box, one kid gets a puppy, and one somehow gets $5,000? Make it make sense! Though to add insult to injury almost no one seemed to receive their gifts in the long run, but even worse was the blatant misrepresentation about what some of the gifts actually were. Abby might eb in the giving mood, but there's only so much to give when you have a negative desire to offer anything!Quotes“It was a vanity. It was probably $100 and Maddie has a $5000 gift certificate! She didn't even have make-up in her vanity!" (20:42-20:50 | Christi)“All I can say is Holly is married with those feet and you are not." (37:29-37:34 | Kelly)“Oh god don't sing." (42:04-42:06 | Kelly)“Ok everyone needs to realize that she said she got a lifetime of books.

Before we learn how all about the history and legacy of a modern Christmas classic, let's recite the "Code of the Elves," shall we? Number one; "Treat every day like Christmas." Number two; "There's room for everyone on the nice list." Number three; "The best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud for all to hear."Just for those listeners on Santa's nice list, the enduring appeal of Elf lies in its ability to resonate with audiences of all ages, and the importance of believing in the magic of Christmas, just like Buddy the Elf. Heavily inspired by the Rankin Bass animated Christmas specials of the 1960s, Jon Favreau's vision for Elf included using practical effects to evoke nostalgia, as well as keep it timeless. And casting Will Ferrell's as Buddy was a masterstroke; his improvisation ended up making the character even more innocent and funny. It didn't mean the movie was without issues though. The film's production faced legal scrutiny over its inspiration from those Rankin Bass holiday specials, but ultimately it was cleared of any infringement. The stop-motion, by the Chiodo Brothers, is a small but mighty part of how the movie feels as fresh as it did in 2003.Elf's heart-warming message of kindness, believing in magic, and family togetherness cements it as the modern Christmas classic. There are a lot of strange links to Lord of the Rings, though, and all of them are intentional.Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to you all!I would love to hear your thoughts on Elf !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

Please like and review the T21Mom podcast on Apple or Spotify! It's the most wonderful time of the year, and we're back with the annual T21Mom Podcast Christmas Special! I'm Mary, mom to Ainsley, my amazing 12 year-old with the dual diagnosis of Down syndrome and autism, and I'm thrilled to share all the holiday fun, chaos and traditions with you in this episode. This year's Christmas season has been a mix of festive joy and well, exhaustion! Between tackling 72 Advent Cookie Boxes (yes 72!), decking the halls a bit last, hosting our 2nd annual Haunted Rockin' Moms Christmas Zoom and gift exchange (which included wine, laughter and more wine), there's never a dull moment. We also carried on our beloved traditions, like our annual cookie decorating party, which has grown to include nieces, nephews, friends and even Zahra, who insists it's now part of her tradition, too! I love seeing how these little moments become cherished memories for everyone. In this episode, I also share some of our favourite holiday traditions, like Christmas Eve mass, a visit to my friend Marcie's for food and wine, and one of my favourite parts of the season-seeing the dazzling light displays at Capilano Suspension Bridge and Trinity Street. We also chat about gift-giving struggles (anyone else have a kiddo who's tricky to shop for?), how Canada Post's strike led to creative Santa letter solutions and a bit of reflection on the podcast's future as we head into the new year. So grab your Christmas bells (do you have them?!) and join us for some holiday cheer, heartfelt memories and a little holiday hilarity. What are your favourite holiday traditions? Let me know-I'd love to hear how you celebrate!
