Dolly Parton was the one who named Destiny hope ‘’Miley Cyrus’’:
“Miley wasn’t really Miley. She was born Destiny Hope, but she smiled all the time. So everyone would say, ‘Smile for me!’ Billy Ray then said we should call her Miley, and that I should be her godmother. I said, ‘YAY!’’
The poster for ‘SLO PITCH’ has been released.
The series is centered around a queer, underdog, slo pitch softball team and their dedicated and determined coach.
Premiering September 25 on Crave.
‘HOW TO KILL YOUR FAMILY’ starring Anya Taylor-Joy will begin filming this fall.
The dark comedy follows a woman who vows revenge when she discovers her absentee millionaire father has rejected her dying mother’s pleas for help, and sets about to kill his family.
The feeling of losing my Aunt Dolly is beyond what feels right to share. Our most sacred moments were private and they’ll stay there behind the stage, beneath the glamour & between our hearts.
What I KNOW is Dolly would want me to feel it, write a song about it, and then continue on and be strong. I have an angel by my side. I always have. One of our last conversations was about music and metamorphosis. 🦋
I will always love her and want to make her proud. My heart breaks for the world, her family and friends who will miss her deeply. We’re in this loss together and we will see her in all of the most beautiful things. 💖 @dollyparton
First look at Rachel Zegler and Marisa Tomei in Julia von Heinz’s ‘SHE GETS IT FROM ME.’
It follows Nicky, whose engagement celebration turns into a search for her pill-popping, ex-punk rocker birth mom. They embark on an anarchic mother-and-daughter journey to reconnect.
In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.
She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.
The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.
She handed out the checks herself.
In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.
When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.
You've probably heard that part.
Here's the part you haven't:
The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.
Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.
She built her county an entire hospital.
She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.
In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.
Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.
In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.
And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.
She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.
She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.
Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸
Dolly's family asked in lieu of flowers, please donate to her Imagination Library. I just donated $80 in honor of the 80 years she was on this earth. Please donate what you can. I can't believe she's gone. 😭😭😭
