Welcome to this week's Blonde Intelligence. I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. What's the difference between a true friend and someone who's just using you? Can authentic friendships exist in the cutthroat world of entertainment? These questions drive our unflinching exploration of friendship dynamics across both everyday life and the high-stakes entertainment industry.We dive deep into the "frenemy" phenomenon—that peculiar relationship marked by public camaraderie and private rivalry. Think about those reality TV personalities who smile in your face while talking behind your back, or industry colleagues who support you only when cameras are rolling. The entertainment world magnifies these dynamics, as careers often depend on who you know and how you leverage those connections. When Jay-Z claims he and Puffy were merely "business acquaintances" rather than friends, it reveals volumes about how relationships function when fame and fortune are on the line.The red flags of toxic friendships deserve your attention: constant criticism designed to make you feel inadequate, visible jealousy when you succeed, manipulation that positions you as the problem, attention-seeking behavior, and perhaps most telling—one-sided support where you're always giving but rarely receiving. We explore the psychology behind these dynamics and why so many of us ignore these warning signs until it's too late. Most importantly, we discuss the power of trusting your instincts. If you're constantly questioning someone's loyalty, that uncertainty itself is your answer.Ready to evaluate your own friendships with new clarity? Listen now, and don't forget to subscribe and share your experiences in the comments. Is there someone in your life who exhibits these toxic traits? Or have you found genuine connection despite the challenges of modern relationships? We want to hear your story.Support the show

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton's week has been nothing short of headline-making. According to Parade, she dazzled audiences at the opening of Dolly: A True Original Musical at Nashville's Fisher Center, a theatrical biography featuring new and classic songs. Dolly herself cowrote the book, and the stage adaptation stars three actresses portraying her at different stages of life, generating enthusiastic reviews. On Instagram, Dolly proudly showcased opening night highlights and ticket info, using the platform to connect directly with her fans. American Songwriter added that she wanted the musical staged while she's still alive and involved, a philosophy that feels pure Dolly—living legend advancing her legacy in real-time.Business-wise, Dolly is in expansion mode yet again. IMDB and Country Music Alley report she's branching into another yet-to-be-public business venture, with continued revenue power stemming from her unrivaled catalog of over 3,000 songs—valued at around $150 million—and her entertainment, amusement park, and philanthropic endeavors. FreeJobAlert pegged her net worth at $650 million this year, making clear she's more a cultural institution than mere celebrity. Much of this wealth cycles back into charity, particularly the Imagination Library and community scholarships, re-enforcing her “do good with what you've got” ethos.Major on-screen appearances are brewing: The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra announced a visually ambitious Pops Series dedicated to Dolly's career, running September 19–20. Though Dolly will appear only virtually, the concerts feature hits like Jolene and I Will Always Love You, interwoven with personal stories and archived footage. In a statement, Dolly called the show “threads of my life woven together,” highlighting the significance of sharing her journey through orchestral arrangement.On the Broadway front, Dolly's Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol will tour again this season according to The Carson Center, with performances scheduled through November. Her classic narrative of redemption set in Depression-era Tennessee remains a perennial crowd-pleaser, and group ticket sales are already strong.Social media was abuzz when Dolly performed Jesus and Gravity at The O2 Arena, drawing excitement among British fans via accounts like PartonNews. Meanwhile, AOL reports Dolly's long-awaited Las Vegas residency has tickets flying, marking her first resident show in decades and sparking a flurry of fan anticipation.As for speculation, details on her rumored new business project remain tightly guarded amid a swirl of online chatter, but outlets like IMDB and Country Music Alley hint at a significant, possibly industry-shifting reveal in the coming months. For now, everything else is fully verified—Dolly Parton continues to thread herself more intimately into America's cultural and musical fabric by the day.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

They are all calling for its use to finally be regulated so as not to jeopardise their work and livelihoods. FRANCE 24's Cécile Khindria and Juliette Lacharnay report.
In this episode, we sit down with writing coach and industry strategist Nick Jobe for a conversation that moves well beyond the professional. He shares openly about growing up with fear and health anxiety, the impact of early emotional neglect, and the long process of stepping into personal responsibility and self-worth. We explore how EMDR helped him rewire long-held patterns, how COVID became a catalyst for questioning mainstream narratives, and why he draws a hard line when it comes to using AI in creative work.

Making a Difference Through Media Synopsis: On this compelling episode of Conversations that Make a Difference, host Teresa Velardi welcomes three dynamic women who are harnessing the power of media to inspire social change: Andi Buerger, Cassandra Tindal, and Danielle Bisutti. Andi Buerger unveils the moving stories and powerful advocacy within her forthcoming book, "Voices Against Trafficking," highlighting the urgent fight against human trafficking and how storytelling can drive awareness and action. Cassandra Tindal, founder and editor of Womenz Straight Talk Magazine, discusses her mission to uplift women's voices, address real-world issues, and foster meaningful dialogue through her influential publication. Actress and singer Danielle Bisutti shares her passion for using the arts to make an impact—donating a heartfelt song to the Voices Against Trafficking album and using her creative platforms to amplify important causes. Together, these changemakers explore how diverse media—books, magazines, and music—serve as transformative tools for advocacy, education, and hope. Their candid conversation, guided by Teresa Velardi, inspires viewers to use their own unique voices and creative outlets to make a difference in their communities and beyond. Guests: Andi Buerger, Cassandra Tindal and Danielle Bisutti Bio: Andi Buerger, JD is an international speaker, author, and advocate for victims of human trafficking & exploitation. Andi herself was a victim of child sex trafficking and unspeakable abuses by family members for 17 years. She founded Beulah's Place, which provided temporary shelter services to at-risk, unsheltered teens for 14 years. 300+ youth were successfully rescued and assisted, earning national recognition. Andi later founded Voices Against Trafficking(VAT) to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves — the voiceless victims of human trafficking and exploitation. VAT advocates for the protection of every human's rights regardless of race, gender, culture, or socio-economic status. Voices Against Trafficking-The Strength of Many Voices Speaking As One, gives a portion of proceeds from each sale to survivors of child abuse and trafficking, as does Andi's first book, A Fragile Thread of Hope - One Survivor's Quest to Rescue. Andi launched Voices Of Courage magazine in 2023. It is distributed internationally and accepted into the U.S. Library of Congress. It honors everyday heroes who selflessly fight to protect human rights. These champions come from all walks of life to change communities and the world for the better. A television series by the same title debuts in 2025. Website: www.voicesagainsttrafficking.com Bio: Cassandra Tindal is the Founder, Visionary, and CEO of IMAG Media Inc., and the creator of Womenz Straight Talk®. Driven by an unshakable belief in the power of women's voices and the need for meaningful discourse, Cassandra Tindal didn't just build a media company—she ignited a movement. As the founder of IMAG Media Inc. and the force behind Womenz Straight Talk, Cassandra's vision was clear: to create a multimedia platform where women and marginalized communities could speak boldly, be heard globally, and drive real-world impact on the issues that matter most. Cassandra's passion for storytelling isn't about headlines—it's about humanity. She built Womenz Straight Talk as a hybrid of award-winning journalism, documentary filmmaking, and advocacy. Her mission? To challenge narratives, elevate underrepresented perspectives, and spark conversations that lead to action—whether in business, politics, culture, or social justice. At the heart of every culture, in every corner of the world, lies a shared human truth: we are wired for stories. From ancient oral traditions to today's digital narratives, storytelling is the bridge that connects us—transcending language, politics, and geography. Cassandra Tindal and Womenz Straight Talk harness this power, using media and entertainment not just to inform, but to unite, provoke, and inspire action on the issues that define our time. Website: https://womenzstraighttalk.net Bio: Danielle Bisutti is an Emmy Award-winning and BAFTA-nominated actress, writer, producer, director, and singer-songwriter with an illustrious 25-year career in the Entertainment Industry.

Danielle's diverse portfolio also features guest spots and recurring roles in Matador (Robert Rodriguez's El Rey Network), Last Man Standing, CSI: Miami, Without a Trace, Raising the Bar, and The O.C.
