This might be the biggest question for any tourist to Naples: what can I do there? Well, tons!

LONDINIUM 91 A.D.: The Emperor's Legacy: Debating Trump's Greco-Roman White House Addition Gaius (John Batchelor) and Germanicus (Michael Vlahos) Gaius and Germanicus discuss the proposed 90,000 square foot Greco-Roman casino-style building intended for the White House, which the Washington Post endorsed, calling the current need to erect tents on the South Lawn an embarrassment. Gaius notes that changes to the White House traditionally draw large protests, citing Jefferson and Jackie Kennedy. He compares Mr. Trump, who has no claim to royalty, to the Flavians (Vespasian and Titus), who were business-class provincials yet built the Colosseum, the symbol of Rome. Germanicus explains that it is the prerogative of the emperor to leave a physical legacy, a tradition dating back to Augustus, who transformed Rome from a city of brick to one of marble. He argues that official architecture in Washington, D.C., follows this majestic imperial Greco-Roman tradition, cemented by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Gaius reveals that the current White House is actually a complete 1950s reproduction, rebuilt under Truman after structural deficiencies were discovered. Finally, they discuss Mr. Trump's desire for a moon landing before leaving office, viewing it as part of his mission to restore American greatness and secure a significant legacy. 1902 ROME
Het Witte Huis is geen ambtswoning, maar het nationale symbool van de Verenigde Staten. Een politiek heiligdom. Élysée en Torentje tegelijk. Niettemin was het in 250 jaar Verenigde Staten al van alles, van woonhuis tot kinderspeelplaats, crisiscentrum, perskamer, feestzaal, rouwkapel en seksplek. Een deel ervan is nu gesloopt voor een balzaal voor 1000 gasten. En dat is nog maar het begin. Trumps bouwproject is een en al symboliek. Wat begon met ordinaire opsmuk in het oval office en een pantry vol MAGA-prullaria - 'Do not forget to visit the Gift Shop!' - ontaardt in een Versailles-achtige aanbouw bij een Romeins-republikeins stadspaleisje. Daar komt de destructie van historische plaatsen bij en een plan om heel het hart van Washington visueel te ruïneren. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Is dit megalomanie, vragen Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger zich af. Welnee! In het milieu van Las Vegas en vastgoedmagnaten waar Donald Trump zich thuis voelt is zoiets de norm. Anne Applebaum analyseert het als een bewuste privatisering van de nationale symboliek en haar historische waarde. Zoals Trump ook '250 jaar Verenigde Staten' privatiseert, zodat de historie alleen door hem en in hem betekenis krijgt en verleent. Het is de geesteshouding van een autocraat. En in geestverwanten in zulke regimes door de eeuwen heen vindt Trump zijn rolmodel. Keizer Nero bouwde een kolossaal standbeeld van zichzelf met een stadion ernaast, het Colosseum. Benito Mussolini schonk Rome een complex voor een wereldtentoonstelling en Olympiade. De Kims bouwen nog steeds aan Pyongyang als een hoofdstad van lege façade-architectuur. Hun bewonderaar Nicolae Ceaușescu dreigde Boekarest met net zulke monsterlijke bouwwerken te ruïneren. De Muur viel net op tijd. Jozef Stalin had waanzinnige bouwplannen en realiseerde ze. Al ging een 424 meter hoge toren pal naast het Kremlin met daarop een 80 meter hoog beeld van Lenin niet door. Adolf Hitler liet Albert Speer het Justitiepaleis van Brussel en de Arc de Triomphe in Parijs natekenen als voorontwerp voor zijn wereldhoofdstad Germania met haar Volkshalle. Alleen tunneldelen onder Berlijn en draagzuilen van zijn boog bleven over. Maar ambitieuze democratische heersers kunnen er ook wat van. François Mitterrand liet Parijs verfraaien met zijn Grand Louvre en Piramide, Musée d'Orsay, La Vilette, Institut Monde Arabe, Grande Arche de la Défense, Bibliotèque Nationale François Mitterrand en natuurlijk de Opéra Bastille. Die werd geopend in 1989 met een gala voor de Revolutie van 14 juli 1789. Alle groten der klassieke zang traden op. 'Le Jour de Gloire est Arrivé!' De natte droom van Donald Trump. *** Verder kijken Trump’s new White House ballroom: modern luxury or historic risk?

When you imagine the city Rome, what comes to mind? Maybe the Colosseum, the Vatican, one of the largest empires in history, or delicious pasta? Rome isn't just Italy's capital; it's also one of the most influential cities in human history. In today's Thinking in English episode, we are going to take a journey through time, from the mythical founding of the city by Romulus and Remus, through the Roman Republic and Empire, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and finally to modern Rome. I'm not an expert on Italian history, but I loved researching this episode and I think this is such an interesting topic. You'll discover its myths, politics, art, and language, and of course learn plenty of useful English vocabulary along the way.

Emanuele II, passando tra le vetrine scintillanti dei negozi di moda.En: Alessio walked along Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, passing by the glittering fashion store windows.It: Il suo cuore era però

Bianca was attending university in Roma, surrounded by the art and history she loved so much.It: Spesso, si perdeva nei suoi pensieri mentre passeggiava vicino al Colosseo o visitava la Galleria Borghese.En: Often, she would get lost in her thoughts while strolling near the Colosseum or visiting the Galleria Borghese.It: Ma il pensiero di Alessio non la abbandonava mai.En: But the thought of

"Buonasera, Bianca," disse Alessio con un sorriso luminoso attraverso lo schermo.En: "Buonasera, Bianca," said Alessio with a bright smile through the screen.It: "Ciao, amore," rispose lei, con la stessa dolcezza.En: "Ciao, amore," she replied with the same sweetness.It: Si salutarono e iniziarono a parlare della giornata.En: They greeted each other and began talking about their day.It: Ma entrambi sapevano che dovevano affrontare una questione importante.En: But both knew they had to address an important issue.It: "Ho pensato molto," iniziò Alessio, "e voglio capire come possiamo stare

tutto."En: It's hard to leave everything."It: "Lo capisco," disse Alessio, appoggiandosi alla sedia.En: "I understand," Alessio said, leaning back in his chair.It: "Amo il mio lavoro qui e ci sono molte opportunità per me, ma vorrei che fossi parte della mia vita ogni giorno."En: "I love my job here and there are many opportunities for me, but I want you to be a part of my life every day."It:

attentamente, condividendo paure e, soprattutto, sogni per il futuro.En: With the connection sometimes acting up, they both listened attentively, sharing fears and, most importantly, dreams for the future.It: Alla fine, Alessio disse: "Forse dovremmo rivederci più spesso, dedicarci del tempo senza pensare alle distanze.En: In the end, Alessio said, "Perhaps we should see each other more often, dedicate time to us without thinking about the distances.It: Così potremmo capire meglio cosa vogliamo davvero."En: That way, we could better understand what we really want."It: Bianca annuì, il suo viso si illuminò di speranza.En: Bianca nodded, her face lighting up with hope.It: "Penso sia una buona idea.En: "I think that's a good idea.It: E poi, possiamo rivedere la situazione tra qualche mese, senza fretta."En: And then, we can reassess in a few months, without rushing."It: Decisero che il loro amore meritava questa prova e, sebbene difficile, valeva la pena lottare per esso.En: They decided that their love was worth this test and, although challenging, it was worth fighting for.It: La chiamata si concluse con la promessa di vedersi presto a metà strada.En: The call ended with the

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been in the headlines repeatedly over the past several days, but not for the reasons fans were hoping. The most significant story is that the country icon has stepped out of the spotlight and postponed her highly anticipated Las Vegas residency due to ongoing health challenges. On September 29, Dolly went directly to her fans via Instagram to say that, while she had dearly hoped to perform this December at Caesars Palace, doctors' orders meant she needed some “procedures,” and she joked about getting her “100,000 check-up,” making clear her usual sense of humor is intact. She assured everyone that she is not retiring and that, in her words, “God hasn't said anything about stopping yet,” but she does need to slow down, rest, and make sure she is at her best before she returns to the stage. The new dates for “Dolly: Live in Las Vegas” have been rescheduled for September 2026. Meanwhile, her absence has shifted the balance in Vegas, with Tim McGraw stepping in to headline The Colosseum with “Tim McGraw: Live in Vegas” during the National Finals Rodeo in December, covering several slots originally reserved for Dolly. That has added a surprise twist to Vegas entertainment news and plenty of buzz on country music social media, with fans expressing both their support for Dolly and excitement for Tim's run. Parton has also pulled out of several other public commitments: she missed a major appearance at Dollywood, where she was to unveil a first-of-its-kind attraction, NightFlight Expedition, set to debut in 2026. The theme park went ahead with the reveal, though they offered no details about her absence at the time, fueling further speculation and a wave of get-well messages online. Additionally, she withdrew from a scheduled Governors Awards appearance, again citing health concerns, which has only intensified public concern and media analysis of her wellbeing. Despite her recent withdrawal from the public eye, her influence is undimmed. Major media outlets have recapped her business empire, spotlighting Dollywood's continued growth—recently ranked the No. 1 theme park in the U.S by Tripadvisor and valued at around $165 million—and her enduring philanthropic footprint, especially the Imagination Library. Social media has been thick with tributes, encouragement, and fans sharing Dolly's messages of resilience matched by her signature warmth. In terms of major headlines, the top stories are “Dolly Parton Postpones Las Vegas Residency Amid Health Battle” and “Tim McGraw Steps In for Dolly Parton at Caesars Palace.” Public speculation about the specifics of her health is rife, but no verified new details have emerged beyond Dolly's own statements. For now, the Queen of Country music remains very much in her fans' thoughts, even as she takes the rest she's so clearly earned.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Waar is de massa in de Oudheid... en wie zijn het? Professor dr. Daniëlle Slootjes van de Universiteit van Amsterdam doet al tien jaar onderzoek naar een hele grote groep mensen in Romeinse steden die in de bronnen nou juist zo onzichtbaar zijn. Hoe kunnen we de mensen die op de tribunes zaten bij gladiatorenspelen, die langs de kant stonden bij processies door Rome of die stonden te luisteren naar een speech tóch een gezicht geven? Daniëlle neemt ons mee in haar onderzoek: van bronnen tot methoden, VR tot 'crowdcontrol' in het Colosseum.Shownotes
Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been making headlines after postponing her highly anticipated Las Vegas residency due to health challenges, a move that instantly sparked concern and a wave of support from fans across the globe. According to her own statement shared on social media and widely reported on ITV News and Country Living, Dolly revealed she needed to undergo a series of unspecified medical procedures, joking that it was time for her 100,000-mile checkup—though she assured fans with her trademark wit that it was not her usual trip to the plastic surgeon. The original slate of six sold-out performances at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, which would have marked her first extended Vegas run in over three decades, was scheduled for December 2025. These shows have now been rescheduled for September 2026, with Parton making it clear tickets would be honored or refunded for those who can't make the new dates.The news of her postponement came right after she missed a major event at Dollywood, her iconic Tennessee theme park, due to a flare-up of kidney stones. WHNT News 19 and several entertainment outlets emphasized there was no specific diagnosis given beyond the need for recovery time, and Dolly herself reassured her devoted following that she is not quitting show business. She cited advice from her doctors and a personal sense that she should slow down temporarily, but with her usual optimism, she promised, "God hasn't said anything about stopping yet," highlighting her intention to keep working on her many projects from Nashville. Speculation about her future quickly appeared on social media, but Dolly dampened any rumors of retirement, insisting she has big adventures ahead—a message that trended widely on X and Instagram as fans poured in thousands of get-well messages and memes celebrating her resilience.Beyond her current health focus, Dolly continues to expand her business portfolio. Features in Forbes and IMDb have spotlighted her towering $450 million net worth and highlighted the growth of her “Doggy Parton” pet line, new Duncan Hines baking mixes, and her ever-popular Dollywood properties. In August, she received special attention from the Guinness Book of World Records with an "icon" certificate, putting her in league with Beyoncé and Sir Paul McCartney. Even during this pause from live performance, Dolly's brand and legendary catalog remain at the heart of country music, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship, her career far from finished—as she says, just resting up for the next act.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been front and center in both headlines and hearts over the past week, even as she balanced personal moments and a packed professional schedule. According to Parade, Dolly sat down with Reba McEntire for a warmly candid TalkShopLive interview released September 25, where she reminisced with poignant humor about her late husband Carl Dean, who passed away six months ago. Dolly recalled a rare moment when Carl, who famously shunned the spotlight throughout their six-decade marriage, joined her for an impromptu performance at the Kentucky State Fair. She described the memory as “so out of character for him” and laughed about how the prank unraveled onstage—with Dolly even jokingly telling security she didn't know him, until her road manager intervened.A major headline from AOL announced Dolly's Las Vegas return later this year: she's set for six shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in December, marking her first extended residency there in 32 years. “To say I'm excited would be an understatement,” Dolly said in her statement, making clear her enthusiasm for reconnecting with fans in Vegas. The concerts, appropriately titled “Dolly: Live in Las Vegas,” promise seven decades of hits and a setlist fans have dreamt about, along with VIP packages for some up-close Dolly moments. This run coincides with the National Finals Rodeo, turning Vegas into a true Parton-palooza.Meanwhile, Dolly has not just been performing—she's been the subject of a musical about her life, “Dolly: A True Original Musical,” which opened in Nashville in January and is reportedly eyeing Broadway, according to Playbill and AOL. For fans of orchestral music, her multimedia production “Threads: My Songs in Symphony” continues its national tour, bringing Dolly's classics to the concert stage with a symphonic twist—in fact, she headlined in Indianapolis on September 20.The week was not without health-related speculations. People and IMDb reported that Dolly missed the highly anticipated announcement for Dollywood's newest ride due to kidney stone recovery, causing a ripple of concern among fans. Dolly addressed her absence cheerfully in a video message, promising she was with everyone “in spirit” and expected to be back in action soon.Book lovers, mark November 11 on your calendar. “Star of the Show: My Life on Stage”—Dolly's third photographic memoir—drops soon. Reba McEntire called Dolly “her hero” during their livestreamed chat, raving about Dolly's generosity, wit, and authenticity. The pair traded decades of stories, reinforcing their mutual admiration in a conversation that felt like a masterclass on both friendship and show business.Social media buzz has been lively, too. Dolly's enduring impact was referenced in a viral tweet picked up by HuffPost Women, joking about how “it's getting harder and harder to tumble out of bed, stumble into my kitchen to pour a cup of ambition every day,” a playful nod to her “9 to 5” lyrics that perfectly captures her crossover into everyday pop culture.So whether she's sparking Vegas fever, sharing deeply personal stories, celebrating her own journey in new artistic ways, or trending in meme form, Dolly Parton remains a force whose every move resonates far beyond country music. Onward with rhinestones, resilience, and remarkable grace—this week's Dolly headlines are, as always, pure gold.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this episode of Cyrus Says, actor Neil Bhoopalam joins Cyrus for a witty and insightful conversation about his latest theatre project and his quirky personal passions. Neil talks about his role in 'The Horse', a Roman political satire presented by Aadyam Theatre and directed by Sunil Shanbhag, where he plays Silanus opposite Caligula—the emperor infamous for making his horse a senator. The discussion dives into the satire’s relevance today, the challenges of adapting British-style political humor for an Indian audience, and the massive scale of the production with 20 speaking roles, a Colosseum-inspired set designed by Kushal Mahant, and lighting crafted by Hidayat Sami and Yael. Away from the stage, Neil opens up about his unusual obsession—folding 1,000 origami cranes. Inspired by a personal loss, Neil shares how this meditative practice brings him peace, and how he’s already crossed the 350-mark in his crane-making journey. He even reveals the story of handing a paper crane to cricket legend Sourav Ganguly mid-flight, showing just how deeply personal yet universal this ritual has become for him. This episode blends theatre, philosophy, and personal storytelling into an engaging listen. If you’re curious about Indian theatre, Aadyam productions, Sunil Shanbhag’s direction, acting techniques, or the balance between art and life, this episode with Neil Bhoopalam is a must-listen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Monday, September 8th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Russian pastor sent to prison labor camp for sermon On September 3, Russian Pastor Nikolay Romanyuk, age 63, was found guilty of making “Public calls to implement activities directed against the security of the Russian Federation,” reports International Christian Concern. Despite the Russian pastor's age and poor health conditions, the court sentenced him to four years in a prison labor camp. In a statement before the court, Pastor Romanyuk said, “Yes, I gave a sermon in which I touched on military, albeit forced, murder. I do not retract what I said. I set forth my personal view and attitude towards the taking of a human life. This is my personal attitude as a clergyman.” Pastor Romanyuk gave his now-criminal sermon a week after Russia partially mobilized its forces against Ukraine in September 2022 at the Holy Trinity Pentecostal Church in a suburb of Moscow, Russia. From the pulpit, Romanyuk preached, “It was written in our [church] doctrine that we are pacifists and cannot participate in this. It is our right to profess this on the basis of Holy Scripture.” Svetlana Zhukova, Pastor Romanyuk's daughter, wrote on social media, “Imagine, Dad was convicted for his opinion, his position. There is no crime. Not a single person suffered from his actions. The state did not suffer at all.” Acts 5:29 says, “We must obey God rather than men.” Ted Cruz torches Tim Kaine for describing God-given rights as 'very, very troubling' Here in America, on September 3rd, the U.S. Foreign Relations Committee addressed the nomination of Riley Barnes to be Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. In response to Barnes' introductory statement before the committee, Democratic Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia objected to Barnes who underscored Secretary of State Marco Rubio's assertion that our rights come from God, not government, reports The Christian Post. Listen. KAINE: “This is a quote from Secretary Rubio, our rights come from God, our Creator, not from our laws, not from our governments. I find that very, very troubling. … “The notion that our rights do not come from our laws or our government should make people very, very nervous, because people of any religious tradition, or none, are entitled to the equal protection of the laws under the 14th Amendment. It shouldn't matter what their religious background is, what they think about God or the Creator, what their church affiliation is.” Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, another member of the U.S. Foreign Relations Committee, took issue with Senator Kaine. CRUZ: “Senator Kaine said, in this hearing, that he found it a radical and dangerous notion that you would say, ‘Our rights came from God and not from government.' I just walked into the hearing as he was saying that and I almost fell out of my chair, because that ‘radical and dangerous notion,' in his words, is literally the founding principle upon which the United States of America was created. “And if you do not believe me, then you can believe perhaps the most prominent Virginian to ever serve, Thomas Jefferson, who wrote, in the Declaration of Independence, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their Creator,' -- not by government, not by the Democratic National Committee, but by God, -- ‘with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.' “I have to say, it is stunning to me that the principle that God has given us natural rights is now deemed by Democrats some radical and dangerous notion. Mr. Jefferson was right when he wrote those words. Government exists to protect those rights.” Christian foster parents sue Massachusetts for requiring them to support ‘gender transitions' A pair of Christian foster families in Massachusetts is suing the state for barring them from fostering more children based on their refusal to affirm gender confusion among kids in their care, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Alliance Defending Freedom is representing Nick and Audrey Jones, who have cared for seven small children since 2023; and Greg and Marianelly Schrock, who have cared for 28 children since 2019. Despite both couples effectively providing needed, loving homes without incident, the Massachusetts Department of Children & Families decided they can no longer continue to do so unless they're willing to affirm the gender confusion of future kids placed with them, including support for so-called “gender transitioning” and the use of biologically inaccurate pronouns. Their attorneys said, what Massachusetts is doing “is a violation of foster parents' religious freedom under the First Amendment as well as a reckless rejection of needed homes for orphaned or abandoned children.” Matthew 18:6 says, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Jimmy Stewart's World War II heroism and his father's promise to pray And finally, do you recognize this voice? “Mary, I know what I'm gonna do tomorrow and the next day and next year, and the year after that. I'm shaking the dust of this crummy little town off my feet, and I'm gonna see the world: Italy, Greece, the Parthenon, the Colosseum. Then, I'm coming back here and go to college and see what they know. And then I'm gonna build things. I'm gonna build airfields, I'm gonna build skyscrapers a hundred stories high. I'm going to build bridges a mile long.” If you guessed Jimmy Stewart, you're right. He is the actor who famously portrayed George Bailey in the Christmas film “It's A Wonderful Life.” You'll be glad to know that Hollywood is now producing a movie about Stewart's life entitled “Jimmy” starring K.J. Apa, reports FaithWire.com. After earning five Oscars, Stewart felt somewhat of a “hollowness.” At that time in the early 1940s, the world's instability was coming to a head, with war clouds on the horizon. Stewart made a stunning decision. He had been a private pilot, but he decided to enlist in the Army Air Corps. He said, “I want to be something more than just a Tinseltown hero. I wanted to serve my country, serve my fellow Americans.” Stewart became a squadron commander — a job that involved leading thousands of men in bombing runs during the war. His father, Alexander, who will be portrayed by Neil McDonough, wrote a letter which he slipped into Jimmy's uniform pocket before he went and that included a copy of Psalm 91, a Scripture which underscores the Lord's comfort and presence. His dad wrote, “I will be praying for you the whole time you're away that God will be with you. You'll make it home safely.” Jimmy Stewart kept that letter with him in his uniform on every mission that he went on. Providentially, the actor did make it back home, though he suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after seeing hundreds of his men shot down and killed. By the time Stewart left the battlefield, he was far from the Hollywood leading man he was before fighting on the frontlines. An old friend named Frank Capra, a Hollywood director who also served in World War II, told Stewart he had the “perfect role” for him. It was “It's A Wonderful Life.” God used that film to re-energize Stewart's career. Alexander Stewart, his father, embodied the verse found in Malachi 4:6. “[God] will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, September 8th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton is riding another wave of headlines this August, reflecting both recent loss and enduring legacy. According to a Country Music Alley report and her own social media, Dolly mourned the passing of her lifelong friend Jeannie Seely on August 1st, only months after losing her husband Carl Dean. Her heartfelt online tributes have been widely picked up by fans and entertainment outlets, many echoing the significance of these relationships from her early Nashville days. The emotional weight of these losses is palpable but it's also drawn a rush of public support and condolences across Twitter and Instagram, amplifying Dolly's powerful role as a figure of comfort and resilience for millions.Professionally, Dolly revealed an eagerly awaited Las Vegas residency set for December at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The six-show run is timed with the National Finals Rodeo, and fans have flooded her social platforms with excitement. As referenced by TODAY.com, tickets went on sale last week and VIP packages include photo ops and exclusive merchandise, marking her return to Vegas after nearly a decade. Throughout the concert series, she'll showcase hits spanning her seven-decade career, reinforcing her relevance with both nostalgic and new listeners.In tandem with these performances, Parade magazine noted Dolly's announcement of a collectible vinyl release of her 2008 Live From London concert, out October 10. The vinyl comes in three unique editions and pre-sales have been brisk, driven by nostalgic fans and vinyl collectors alike.Business-wise, Parton's empire continues to expand and evolve. PR Newswire and major financial outlets like Forbes and The Tradable confirm her net worth has climbed to $650 million, with Dollywood and a suite of branded ventures like Doggy Parton pet gear and cookware thriving. On August 20, Dolly issued a statement about a business and philanthropy leadership transition: longtime advisor Ted Miller will retire, and Jeff Conyers, current head of her Dollywood Foundation, will take over as senior liaison next year. Industry insiders see this as a move to solidify succession and preserve her philanthropic vision for decades, especially regarding the Imagination Library program.Fans should also watch for her upcoming book Star of the Show: My Life on Stage due out in November and ongoing work on a Broadway musical about her life, slated for 2026 with ATG Productions. Local impact remains strong as Dolly continues supporting medical centers and education in Tennessee, actions highlighted by finance and philanthropic reports.On Broadway, Dolly Parton's Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol is scheduled for return performances on tour, blending her songwriting with Dickens to acclaim from critics and family audiences alike.Speculation and unconfirmed rumors have swirled about additional surprise TV appearances and collaborations, but no major news outlet has verified new music releases or cameo roles for August beyond the aforementioned public engagements. For now, the headlines capture a mix of personal loss, career celebration, and deliberate succession planning, underscoring Dolly Parton as both a beloved entertainer and shrewd architect of her own lasting cultural legacy.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Harrison Voorhees of Brightwaters had an unexpected brush with the Pope during a family trip to Rome. While in St. Peter's Square, Harrison stood on a chair as the Pope passed by in the Popemobile. Unsure of what to say, he shouted out, “Chaminade, Long Island!” referencing his former Catholic school. The Pope responded with a thumbs up, repeated “Long Island,” and gave a sign of the cross — offering a small but mighty blessing for our Island. The moment nearly didn't happen, as the family had originally planned to visit the Colosseum that day, but changed plans last-minute to attend the papal appearance.Show us YOUR Long Islander by sending us a DM, give us a call and leave a voicemail at 877-386-6654 x 400 or email us at spillthetea@discoverlongisland.com#LongIslandLifeGolfers sleeping in cars so they can play a Long Island course ahead of Ryder Cup?!NEW BLOG: Long Island Downtowns – PatchogueOnce lined with vacant storefronts, Downtown Patchogue has transformed into a vibrant cultural hub on Long Island's South Shore.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been making headlines once again, and even at 79, her influence feels as vibrant and omnipresent as ever. The biggest recent story is her highly anticipated return to Las Vegas, with a six-show residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in December 2025, marking her first extended Vegas run in over three decades. According to AOL, Dolly expressed palpable excitement, promising a hit-laden spectacle and offering up special VIP experiences for superfans, including photo ops and exclusive merchandise. She confirmed the residency through both press releases and a characteristically sparkly Instagram post, sending her signature rhinestone-laced message right to followers' feeds.In the arena of live performance, Dolly remains unstoppable. On July 30, Right Angle Entertainment and Paul T. Couch announced the national tour of Dolly Parton's Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol will kick off November 15 in Owensboro, Kentucky before playing more than 20 cities. Featuring new songs and her distinct Appalachian aesthetic, the musical reimagines Dickens' Ebenezer Scrooge as a Depression-era mining magnate in Tennessee—an idea that could further cement Parton's role as an ambassador for Smoky Mountain culture. Dolly herself chimed in, saying she “poured her heart into the music” and hopes families across America will feel the love, laughter, and mountain magic packed into every scene, as reported by the RiverPark Center.Dolly's presence on social media—a combination of lavish portraits and uplifting platitudes—has created a strangely emotional undercurrent among fans. On July 28, Parade and HELLO! Magazine note, Dolly's team posted a glamour shot with an inspirational caption, but fans, still reeling from the March loss of her husband Carl Dean, panicked in the comments, fearing the worst. The last few months have rendered every new Parton post a moment of both relief and trepidation.Touching tributes also remain at the forefront. Just days ago, Dolly posted a poignant message on Instagram thanking fans for their heartfelt condolences after Carl Dean's death, described lovingly as “the star of my life story.” The ballad she released in his memory—If You Hadn't Been There—offered a rare, vulnerable glimpse into her personal grief and creative pause. She's acknowledged publicly that her songwriting has slowed, explaining on the Khloé in Wonderland podcast that the emotional toll has left her “just putting it all on hold,” but she hopes to return to it when she's able.Finally, nostalgia continues to fuel her connection with fans. A throwback post of “Coat of Many Colors” went viral, sparking a fresh wave of emotion for this song's core message: resilience, humility, and pride in one's roots. From glittering strip lights in Vegas to heartfelt tributes and every rhinestone in between, Dolly persists in making news—proving that, even through loss, her legacy's only growing.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

July 7, 2007. In a dramatic ceremony featuring pop stars, fireworks, and smoke cannons, the Colosseum is named one of the seven new wonders of the world. It's an appropriately over-the-top blowout for an arena which, centuries before, was home to its own lavish events. How did spectacles once unfold on the floor of this ancient arena? And how did the Romans use games to entertain people and to control them? Special thanks to our guests, Alison Futrell, co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Sport and Spectacle in the Ancient World, and Barry Strauss, author of The War That Made the Roman Empire: Antony, Cleopatra, and Octavian at Actium. ** This episode originally aired July 4, 2022.

MUSICTaylor Swift has bought her masters, meaning she now has more control over her music moving forward than she originally did, and early reports from industry outlets like Billboard, which have followed the case closely from the beginning, suggest a sale price of $360 million. Seven Mary Three's debut album, 1994's Churn, has been reissued digitally with three previously unreleased tracks: “Wrecking Wall,” an early demo of “My My,” and “Over Nothing,” which served as the blueprint for “Margarette” on both Churn and American Standard.· Rod Stewart canceled his Monday night show in Las Vegas at the last minute, sharing with fans on Instagram, "I am sorry to inform you that I'm not feeling well and my show tonight at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is being rescheduled to June 10th." Meghan Markle is trying to build her lifestyle brand, but not everyone is on board. Word has it that Meghan asked Dolly Parton to appear on her Netflix show "With Love, Meghan", and got DENIED. Lainey Wilson is known for always wearing her signature bell-bottoms. "I have completely lost count, but I've worn a new pair onstage each time for the past 15 years.· What comes to mind when I say the BEST Disney movie soundtrack. TVJonathan Joss, best known for voicing John Redcorn on King of the Hill, was fatally shot Sunday in San Antonio, Texas, Variety reports. MOVING ON INTO MOVIE NEWS:George Romero invented the zombie genre as we know it with 1968's "Night of the Living Dead". And now his daughter Tina is keeping his legacy alive . . . but with a twist. Switch 2 pre-order panic … The Nintendo Switch 2 will launch this Thursday, June 5th. Unfortunately, a bunch of excited fans got a surprise they didn't ask for when some big stores here in the U.S. and England canceled their pre-orders. They thought they were going to open the new console on day one – but now, they're scrambling. The stores suggest the customers will get a chance to buy a console next month – and some of the customers will be getting some store credit to ease their pain. AND FINALLYReddit users have been naming the celebrities they think were UNFAIRLY canceled or mistreated by the public. Let's see if you can remember why these people were canceled:Brendan Fraser: He was basically shunned after accusing the former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association of groping him. He made a massive comeback with "The Whale", after which we all realized how much we missed him. Janet Jackson: Wardrobe Malfunction. We learned that phrase during the Super Bowl Halftime Show of 2004, when Justin Timberlake exposed Janet's bejeweled nipple. Everyone got on HER case, but Justin escaped pretty much unscathed for some reason. Corey Feldman: Corey, who was a famous child actor, alleged that he'd been sexually abused by powerful figures in the industry. When he publicly discussed the claims during an interview with Barbara Walters, the talk show host said, “You're damaging an entire industry.” Sinead O'Connor: She never really recovered from the blowback after she tore up a picture of Pope John Paul the Second on "Saturday Night Live" in 1992. But she was doing it to protest child abuse in the Catholic Church . . . and she had a point. Rose McGowan: Rose's career took a hit after she publicly accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual abuse and rape. Katherin Heigel: Katherine faced immense backlash after calling out the working conditions on the Grey's Anatomy set. At the time, she was branded “difficult” to work with. Rebecca Black: She was just a 13-year-old kid trying to realize her dream of pop stardom when she released the horrible song "Friday" and it's just-as-horrible music video in 2011. In retrospect, we were all way too hard on her.AND THAT IS YOUR CRAP ON CELEBRITIES!Follow us @RizzShow @MoonValjeanHere @KingScottRules @LernVsRadio @IamRafeWilliams - Check out King Scott's Linktr.ee/kingscottrules + band @FreeThe2SG and Check out Moon's bands GREEK FIRE @GreekFire GOLDFINGER @GoldfingerMusic THE TEENAGE DIRTBAGS @TheTeenageDbags and Lern's band @LaneNarrows http://www.1057thepoint.com/RizzSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
