News about Chet Atkins

Chet Atkins was the voice of Crush the Turtle for Turtle Talk with Crush, at EPCOT in Orlando, Florida but Disney 'abruptly' let him go due to an unspecified medical condition that meant he repeatedly missed work. The lifelong entertainer - who said he misses the job 'everyday' - turned to live streaming video games on Twitch gaining just 101 subscribers and zero views. But his life changed overnight when TikTok user KindPenguins shared a video of himself live donating $450 as an act of kindness to Atkins during his stream. The sweet clip shows the streamer singing a song in-character as Crush when the donation comes in and he gasps: 'I can't tell you what that means to me!'

Dolly Parton defended her exaggerated fashion sense, saying she did not want to be 'fashionable' in the way that other people did not. She has earned a following for her signature style, a mash-up of Las Vegas glitter and a bawdy spin on country chic, which have drew praise throughout her career. Her outfits are a complement to her soaring platinum hairdo, as well as the mighty cleavage who once caused Joan Rivers to chuckle: "She used to have ten children but she nursed them and they exploded." Dolly, 77, regretted that she was prompted to dial back her appearance early in her career, including by her friend Chet Atkins. She, on the other hand, held her guns and has now stated: "I didn't like wearing what someone else would wear, which is supposed to have good taste." But I had no taste!'
