Dolly Parton. Admit it, that?s all the introduction you need to the story. Just by saying her name, everyone reading released out a deep breath and let a much needed smile creep across their face. I don?t think Dolly is perfect lord, who needs that? But Dolly fills me with such joy that reading an interview with her releases serotonin, I?m convinced. Anyway, there is a purpose to this post, after all. A&E?s Biography series will debut Biography: Dolly on April 12. In addition, her very successful stage version of 9 to 5 The Musical is coming to Australia so 60 Minutes Australia ran a segment on her. I swear Tom Steinfort, the interviewer, is in love with her. The full piece is below but here are some highlights.
On being worth half a billion dollars
I count my blessings more than I count my money. The lord giveth and the lord taketh away. I?m very grateful that I?ve been blessed.
?Dolly for President?
Can you imagine anything worse than being head of a country? I think we?ve had enough boobs in the White House. I don?t want to be another one.
On growing up poor
I was never ashamed of my upbringing. We were very poor but we were rich in the things that mattered, in kindness and love and understanding. It just depends on what you call wealth and success.
On her marriage
When I first got to Nashville in 1964 I had no intentions of finding a boyfriend. Very first day [I met my husband]. We?ve been married for 53 years. We get along great. He?s independent, so I am. He likes to stay at home, I like staying gone.
?You?re looking very youthful?
Good lighting, good makeup and good doctors. A good attitude don?t hurt either. I?m kinda cartoonish and cartoons don?t really age that much.
On if she?s going to retire
I don?t plan to retire. I just turned 74. I plan to be on the cover of Playboy Magazine again. If they?ll go for it I think I will. If I could be on the cover again when I?m 75. I could probably [wear the same outfit]. Boobs are still the same.

?I think we?ve had enough boobs in The White House,? is probably my favorite line but calling herself a cartoon is a close second. And I don?t disagree with her, there is very much a cartoonish vibe to how she presents herself, but it?s paid off because no one takes her to task for aging. Think how depressing it would be if Dolly came out in a housecoat and low ponytail. Between admitting to getting work done and getting it done often and dressing for a beauty pageant talent competition, Dolly is allowed to shine mostly free from criticisms. And she looks like she?s having a ball doing it so you go, Dolly. Live your whole life out loud.
Most outlets are using a pull quote that Dolly said towards the end that she hopes to get the cover of Playboy for her 75th birthday next January. She appeared on the cover in 1978 wearing the famous strapless bodysuit and bunny ears and Dolly said she?s open to wearing the same for her next cover. This would be a fantastic statement if Playboy?s willing to make it. The 60 Minutes segment is below. Its worth it to hear all the snippets of her music. As I said, I don?t think Dolly is perfect. I think that Dolly has had to project a certain persona to protect herself in the industry and she?s still using that today. Overall, I do think Dolly sends the right message about living life on your own terms.

Miranda Lambert has a pattern. Or should I say, she HAD a pattern. Her pattern was to only go after guys who were ?taken,? either married or in some kind of live-in situation, or in the case of Brendan McLoughlin, very much involved in a complicated and dramatic situation with an ex-fiance and a pregnant mistress. His mistress actually gave birth to their son within the same week that Miranda and Brendan met and started hooking up. Some days, Miranda?s marriage to Brendan feels like it?s broken her shady patterns. But maybe her pattern all along was DRAMA? She needs drama. She needs to bang married men for the drama of it. She needs to toss salads at steakhouses and elope with her young cop boyfriend for drama! And now she might want a kid. Well, that would give her a hell of a lot of drama.
Miranda Lambert and Brendan McLoughlin may be adding a new addition to their family in the near future, a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. The country singer, 36, ?wants to start a family,? says the source, and is ready to be a mom with the retired New York City police officer. ?Miranda has been telling friends that she wants a baby and to be with Brendan forever.?
While there?s no timeline yet for buying little cowboy or cowgirl boots, one thing?s certain: Lambert and McLoughlin couldn?t be happier together. ?They get along so well together. They?re always focused on each other, and cuddling or kissing,? adds the source. ?They?re very hot for each other, and it shows in their body language.?
[From Us Weekly]
?Miranda has been telling friends that she wants a baby and to be with Brendan forever.? That?s when Miranda?s friends look at each other quietly and sip their wine, and think to themselves, ?Lord Jesus Beyonce, this is going to end in disaster.? And it will, trust that. I definitely believe that *some* people can change, especially if they?re willing to change and willing to do the work. But is that Miranda? No. It?s not. The second she gets pregnant, we?ll probably find out that she?s been banging someone on the side and then there will be a messy paternity drama, and on and on.

| | Emily Blunt: Judi Dench told me to be an actress and not a pop star | | Added 4 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

A Quiet Place 2 comes out next week. Do you plan to see it? I don?t know. I wanted to to see the first one (and did) but I?m not as jazzed about the sequel. I?m not a big thriller person so it could just be I reached my thriller threshold. However, a lot pf people are excited, and they had a fancy premiere in New York. So Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are both out promoting it. Emily was on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday. I like Emily in general but she and John used to live across the street from Jimmy so she?s particularly relaxed on his show. During the interview, we learned that we almost lost Emily to the land of pop music, but Dame Judi Dench intervened on pop musics behalf.
On Tuesday nights episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Emily Blunt revealed that she almost didnt become an actor. In fact, she told host Jimmy Kimmel that she wanted to be a pop star instead.
I could have been Britney [Spears], she joked, noting that her dreams were short-lived because of one minor detail. I realized I wasnt good at dancing and I didnt want to be Britney?I dont know.
I cant write. I cant really sing?no, Im just kidding, she continued. They said, ?I think you have a nice voice and I think that you could be a pop star. I said, ?I cant dance. They said, ?Dont worry about it. Well teach you. It didnt work. I tried to learn.
At the time, the Devil Wears Prada star was still pursuing acting and received some advice from one of her A-list co-stars that helped her make the right decision in the end.
I was doing a play?my first job was with Judi Dench?yeah, the Dame?which was incredible and she was wonderful to me, Emily recalled. And I went to her for advice because I was really, really nervous about this career that I didnt know was right for me?I didnt think was right for me?and she was like, ?Oh no, darling. You cant do both. You cant act and do that. She talked me out of it.
[From E! News]
Anytime anyone quotes Judi Dench, I not only hear it in her voice, I project all her mannerisms on the quote as well. I could just see her tutting Emily, ?Oh no, darling. You cant do both.? I like Emily?s voice just fine but I couldn?t see her as a pop star. Maybe a folksy balladeer, but not bouncing around in a pig tails and thigh high platform boots. Dont get me wrong, I understand wanting to be a pop star, hell, *I* wanted to be a pop star. But believe me when I tell you youd rather chew on tinfoil then listen to me sing. I think Dame Judi led Emily down the right path for sure. Besides, what was Emily going to do, not listen to Dame Judi?
At the start of the interview, they discussed how Emily and John decided to do the sequel. Jimmy posed the question what would have happened if Emily had decided to pass, asking if John would have recast her, which is a really funny concept to me. How awkward would that be? Especially if the replacement got any kind of award recognition. Emily claimed John would?ve called Brie Larson. It?s a funny bit.
In the second half of the interview, Jimmy shows a pre-taped ?commercial? for A Quiet Plane, which is the idea of A Quiet Place but on a plane. It?s funnier in concept than execution but you can watch it here if you?d like.
