Dolly Parton is not gay, says Dolly Parton


She may not be a lesbian but, as far as I'm concerned, she's the greatest living songwriter in the world. I love her. She can go ahead and lay off the plastic surgery though. At some point you really do just have to say "enough." - via The Boot

She's so cute.
