Dolly Parton Weathers Rumors

When it comes to tabloid rumors, Dolly Parton has been victim to pretty much all of them. Earlier this year, she even heard a television report that she had died! But the country icon isn't complaining about the way the press treats her.

"I think I've been lucky ... very lucky actually," Parton tells The Boot. "I've had my share of tabloid stories -- some true, some false -- and I never admit which ones are and which ones ain't, because I always say everything's based on a thread of truth. But it's usually so frayed by the time they get to the real story, you don't know what's true and what ain't. But I don't deny nor admit anything, I just let them catch me at it, and if they got a picture to prove it then I'll say, 'Yeah, what can I say?' If not, then I don't care.

"I've noticed they are kinder to me as I get older," she says. "They really wanna crucify you more when you're younger."

Or maybe there's just nothing bad to say about Mrs. Parton!

"Well, there's plenty to say, I just hope they don't know all the bad stuff," she says, laughing. "I try to hide it as much as I can!"

pitbull I read all of your comments and have decided that you can't run with the big dawgs so you must be on the porch eating your own puppy poop. the more you say the more everyone knows it's true.

This world needs more people like Dolly. I think she is a great example of what a person can do with hard work and confidence to try new things.

You, Hillbilly, remind me of Mark Foley. Why don't you go back to the men's bathroom and hit the "pipe" you enjoy most, and do well! Now go kill that 'possum for yo' dinna!

Greg I have read all of this blog. I have noticed that whenever someone has something negitive to say then you jump all over it. Whats the problem here? Why woould anyone want to tell a lie about her? This is a open blog here and what I am telling you is the truth. !! What you see behind the stage or in public is not what the person is like in public life. Thats the case here. Its all about the money buddy and this is not the only person like her either. Its a shame but true.
