Rosie Tried To Get Dolly For Kellie

Fri, 19 Jan 2007 06:01:15 -0600

Guest hosting on The View , Kellie Pickler was presented with a gold album for her debut recording Thursday. Co-host Rosie O?Donnell did the honors, adding that the only thing that would have made the occasion more special was if she had been able to get Pickler?s idol, Dolly, to give her the award. Unfortunately, although Dolly was asked, she was unable to be there Thursday, which may have been a good thing, because Pickler said she would have had a heart attack if Dolly had done it.

Dolly Not On 'Forbes' List

Fri, 19 Jan 2007 06:00:25 -0600

Thanks to several readers for alerting me that Forbes magazine on Thursday released its list of the 20 wealthiest women in entertainment who will be profiled on an E! television special this weekend. Even though Dolly continues to tour, release CDs that earn Grammy nominations and make promotional appearances, the magazine apparently didn?t think she was active enough in entertainment to warrant inclusion on the list. The list ranges from Oprah Winfrey at $1.5 billion to Renee Zellwegger at $45 million. With an unconfirmed net worth generally estimated by financial experts over the past decade at between $300 million and $500 million, had Dolly been included on the list she likely would have stood between No. 5 Celine Dion at $250 million and No. 3 Martha Stewart at $638 million. Tthe magazine stated that it limited its list to ?those female celebrities active in their professional lives,? so presumably they did not see Dolly?s career as ?active? enough to meet their standards. See the full list on Forbes.com here.

Vote For Dolly DEC 27

Wed, 27 Dec 2006 08:16:42 -0600

Country Weekly is asking for reader votes to determine its list of country music?s greatest love songs, and two Dolly tunes are on the list. In the 50 possible selections, Dolly?s classic ?I Will Always Love You? and her mega-hit duet with Kenny Rogers on ?Islands In The Stream? are options for votes (of course, the former was previously selected by both CMT and VH1 as the greatest love song of all time, while the latter was selected by CMT as country?s greatest duet of all time). The final list will be announced in a Valentine?s themed issue dated Feb. 12 which will be on newsstands Jan. 29. Cast your ballot here!

Kennedy Center Lauds Dolly DEC. 27

Wed, 27 Dec 2006 08:16:10 -0600

Dolly was the most energetic part of the Kennedy Center Honors telecast which aired on CBS Tuesday night. Shown on screen several times during the two-hour program -- bopping along to the songs of the night?s other honorees, singing to Smokey Robinson?s tunes, conversing with Zubin Mehta and interacting with Steven Spielberg -- she was the life of the box for the ceremonies taped earlier this month in Washington. During her own segment, she chuckled along with Reba McEntire and Reese Witherspoon as they offered speeches honoring her and she sang along from her seat with those paying tribute in song: Carrie Underwood and Kenny Rogers on ?Islands In The Stream? (jumping up from her seat, cheering and waving her arms when Kenny came on stage as a surprise), Alison Krauss with Suzanne Cox and Cheryl White on ?Jolene? (their version of ?My Tennessee Mountain Home? didn?t make the broadcast), Shania Twain with Krauss on ?Coat Of Many Colors? and Vince Gill with ?I Will Always Love You.? Nashville's NewsChannel5 posted some screencaps from the program here. In related news, Terry Morrow of The Knoxville News-Sentinel again wrote Tuesday about how bad Jessica Simpson?s flubbed tribute to Dolly in the ceremony was and how good it was that producers edited her out of the telecast.
