The 67-year-old starred as a former beauty queen on the set of CBS's Designing Women, but said there, she was treated more like a slave. She famously fell out of good graces with the show's bosses by complaining the set had become a 'difficult, unpleasant workplace'. Speaking to Chelsea Devantez on her podcast Glamorous Trash Friday more than 30 years later, she said of her mindset at this time 'I wanted to leave,' 'And I wasn't allowed to ,' she went on, describing how her dream TV role went downhill with time.

Dolly Parton, who is well aware of the voluminous hairstyle's celestial beauty, says, the higher the hairstyle, the closer to god. Sam McKnight, a hairdresser, confirms. 'There's nothing more inspiring than a big, bold, and voluminous do,' he says.

It's a picture that has been burned into collective memory. Queen Elizabeth II was smiling, a little frail, clutching her late husband's shepherd's crook as a roaring fire blazed behind her, just 24 hours before she died. We all remember the date and also the place: Balmoral Castle, 2022 - the time when the late Queen felt most at home. Now, for the first time, we will get a glimpse into the home's inner sanctum.

Threatening Jolene with violence instead of begging her for mercy is of course the more empowered choice according to the tenets of YASS-KWEEN feminism - but what kind of feminism reserves all its opprobrium for the woman who pursues a married man, while letting the man off the hook? 'If you try to kiss him, I'll kick your ass' posturing, which paradoxically shows how disempowered and insecure she is. If she's a queen, as the song says, and has no doubts about her man's devotion, then why is she threatening to throw hands at any woman who looks at him sideways? However, Beyoncé has long been marketing this brand of photogenic yet ultimately ineffective feminism.

Hate to sound like a misanthrope, but I do despair about humanity. When did people get so stupid and selfish?What happened to common sense?Was it washed away on the outgoing tide, along with raw intelligence and compassion for our fellow innocents? Not to mention the old school belief of banding together for the greater good of all. I'm not discussing the major topics, such as the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, but God knows, they are not bad enough. We've arrived at a point where the entire civilized world is urging President Putin and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in Israel to refrain from the fighting and bombing and killing, but no one is paying attention.

Lily Allen has unashamed Beyoncé's latest country album Cowboy Carter, calling it 'calculated,' and has wondered why she didn't cover Dolly Parton's Jolene. The London native, 38, made the remarks on her BBC Sounds podcast Miss Me? Miquita Oliver, 39, co-host, and the 42-year-old superstar's foray into a new genre on Thursday.

A woman begged younger woman Jolene not to steal her husband, triggering Beyoncé (right) to be a warning for the titular character to stay away from him - or else. Joy Behar (left) liked this energy so much more, and even thought that the original was 'anti-feminist.' I like Beyoncé's takeover of the lyrics.' I just find it strange that Dolly Parton's first appearance is so, like, anti-feminist, concerned about some beautiful-looking woman taking your man,' she said. After hearing it for the first time on the day of its unveiling, Parton and Beyoncé rallied enthusiastically.

When they hit the age of 50, researchers from New York University analyzed data on more than 7,000 people over the age of 30 to see if work patterns in younger adulthood were related to sleep, physical, and mental health. Compared to people who worked during traditional daytime hours, those who had a more flexible work schedule slept less, had lower sleep quality, and were more likely to experience depressive symptoms at the age of 50.

Princess Neverwas' 'American Riviera Orchard' launch is turning into a massive headache for her. Meghan unveiled her gleaming, greige lifestyle brand as frenzied anticipation arose around the MIA Princess of Wales last month. Some believed the Duchess was callously piggybacking Kategate to flog her latest jams, spreads, and silly bits. Others said they couldn't believe she was so carelessly cooking in a white top with no apron in the toe-curling promo video. Either way, the timing seemed to be something like a snub to the Waleses.

It's Good Friday, and my family and I are all together at my grandparents for our annual fish dinner. Our gatherings are often brimming with delicious food, laughter, and great music. I can hear the faint sounds of country music playing from their record player as I step into the living room. I usually see my grandad quietly humming and swaying along as the tunes were played. Justin Moore, my grandad, has adored country music for as long as I can recall. Along Soca and Reggae, the genre has pretty much always been the soundtrack to their Caribbean household. I was pleasantly surprised when I first discovered my love for country music as a youth, but as I grew up, I learned that the Windrush Generation — the Caribbean community that settled in the United Kingdom from 1948-1971 — has deep ties to country music.
