Dolly Parton has been there and done pretty much all there is to do in the music industry.

And yet… and yet the country music icon is still finding ways to challenge herself and broaden her scope of magnificence.

As per reports, fans the world over are reacting with joy over reports that Dolly is finally set to release her first-ever rock album! You may remember that the 77-year-old was inducted into the Hollywood Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, one year on from having turned down the nomination as she felt she hadn’t “earned the right”.

Though Dolly eventually accepted her entry, it would appear she’s eager to ensure no one can say she doesn’t belong. Dolly previously promised to release a rock album to commemorate her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and we now have a release date!

If sources are to be believed, Parton was initially reluctant to be in the conversation for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Jolene singer was said to be of the opinion that since her career consists mostly of country music, others were perhaps more suited.

In the end, however, the people spoke, and voters decided that Dolly did belong there. In November 2022 she was inducted into the Hall of Fame, and immediately set about trying to ensure that her selection was justified.

Her new rock album is now one step closer to becoming a reality, with Dolly herself having confirmed it will be titled ‘Rockstar’ and is due to drop November 17.

As per reports, there are 30 tracks in total on the album, nine of which are original. The remaining 21 consist of collaborations with other artists and feature new versions of tracks made famous by said featuring artist. A new take on Every Breath You Take by Sting will be on the album, for example, as will Wrecking Ball by Dolly’s goddaughter, Miley Cyrus

Other distinguished guests set to appear on the album include Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, and Steven Tyler.

Reflecting on her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Dolly told The View earlier this year:

“I just didn’t feel like I had earned it but they explained to me why I was in it and all that so I said, ‘Well, if you insist on giving it to me, I’ll take it’.”

“But if I’m gonna be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I’m gonna have to do something to earn it.”

The full list of songs on the album is reportedly as follows:

‘Rockstar’ (special guest Richie Sambora)
‘World on Fire’
‘Every Breath You Take’ (feat. Sting)
‘Open Arms’ (feat. Steve Perry)
‘Magic Man’ (feat. Ann Wilson with special guest Howard Leese)
‘Long As I Can See the Light’ (feat. John Fogerty)
‘Either Or’ (feat. Kid Rock)
‘I Want You Back’ (feat. Steven Tyler with special guest Warren Haynes)
‘What Has Rock and Roll Ever Done for You’ (feat. Stevie Nicks with special guest Waddy Wachtel)
‘Purple Rain’
‘Baby, I Love Your Way’ (feat. Peter Frampton)
‘I Hate Myself for Loving You’ (feat. Joan Jett & The Blackhearts)
‘Night Moves’ (feat. Chris Stapleton)
‘Wrecking Ball’ (feat. Miley Cyrus)
‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’ (feat. P!nk & Brandi Carlile)
‘Keep on Loving You’ (feat. Kevin Cronin)
‘Heart of Glass’ (feat. Debbie Harry)
‘Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me’ (feat. Elton John)
‘Tried to Rock and Roll Me’ (feat. Melissa Etheridge)
‘Stairway to Heaven’ (feat. Lizzo & Sasha Flute)
‘We Are the Champions’
‘Bygones’ (feat. Rob Halford with special guests Nikki Sixx & John 5)
‘My Blue Tears’ (feat. Simon Le Bon)
‘What’s Up?’ (feat. Linda Perry)
‘You’re No Good’ (feat. Emmylou Harris & Sheryl Crow)
‘Heartbreaker’ (feat. Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo)
‘Bittersweet’ (feat. Michael McDonald)
‘I Dreamed About Elvis’ (feat. Ronnie McDowell with special guest The Jordanaires)
‘Let It Be’ (feat. Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr with special guests Peter Frampton & Mick Fleetwood)
‘Free Bird’ (feat. Ronnie Van Zant with special guests Gary Rossington, Artimus Pyle and The Artimus Pyle Band)

As per Billboard, Dolly said in a statement: “I am very honoured and privileged to have worked with some of the greatest iconic singers and musicians of all time, and to be able to sing all the iconic songs throughout the album was a joy beyond measure.

“I hope everybody enjoys the album as much as I’ve enjoyed putting it together!”

I’m so happy to see Dolly still making music and still enjoying her work even at 77!

Violeta had an unexpected divorce after 30 years of marriage, just as she imagined enjoying good times in her second youth. Only hope and optimism helped her regain her happiness again.

“I have been thinking of writing to you for a long time. I didn’t have the courage and I was ashamed, but now I have resigned.”

My partner was attentive and behaved exemplary with me. We intended to rekindle the romance of youth when our kids graduated from school and we saw them tie the knot. To retire in later life, we decided to construct a home in the mountains.

Two years ago, when we were watching television, my husband said he wanted to talk to me.

I had no clue he would deliver such awful news to me. He quietly confessed that h was in love. But not with me. He gently explained to me that they had been dating for some time, that she is a student, and that he wants to live with her.

Fortunately, I was sitted on the armchair. I didn’t even have the courage to confront him, demand answers from him, or ask questions. Through my tears, I could only shiver and ask, “Okay, but what about me?”

He packed his things the very following day and left. I was upset, but I couldn’t even point the finger at the girl who had his attention.

The only thing I regretted was that I didn’t see his transformation and that I let him leave. Quickly after, I got a divorce notice. I endured so much pain. I was accused of letting him go too easy by the kids. But I believed that fighting for him was pointless.

I believed that he would later regret the decision. I also began a new life. In order to replace the void in my spirit, I didn’t want to find anybody else, but only looked for peace. I traveled, met new people, and tightened my bonds with the close ones. While he was gone, I felt fantastic.

My husband finally came home in peace after a considerable period during which no one knew anything about him. I felt bad for the guy. He was ill and had a terrible look. He wished for us to reconnect.

It wasn’t until then that I began to feel upset and recognized how much pain he had caused me. He had used me as a “poor weather cloak.”

I asked him to leave my house with a smile on his face and the same composure that he had when he told me he was in love with another woman. I told him that his place is next to the woman he cherished so much and for whom he abruptly left his family.

He no longer lives with her, is single, and is still attempting a reconciliation with the kids.

But even if I would fall in love again, I would never marry again since I take care of my life and cherish every second spent with my grandkids. Because, even at 55, life is worth living wonderfully, responsibly, and quietly”

No matter how much we’d like to believe our kids are perfect, the stark truth is that none of them are.

Now, I’m not suggesting the majority of parents aren’t doing their jobs – far from it – merely that childhood is a steep learning curve, one in which virtually all participants will make mistakes they’ll look back on and regret.

Perhaps what matters most when such things occur isn’t what has actually happened but rather how said child learns from it and moves on.

It’s precisely for this reason that we introduce the concept of punishment early: a kid does something wrong and they’re forced to suffer the consequences of said act. It’s teaches them a simple lesson and, hopefully*, they don’t do that same thing again.

Of course, punishments can vary in degrees, ranging from a metaphorical slap on the wrist to methods that the offending child won’t likely forget.

In any case, one dad’s choice for his daughter certainly sits in the latter of those two categories. She was caught making fun of another student at school who had lost all of her hair to chemotherapy. When her dad found out, it’s safe to say he wasn’t impressed.

He decided to take steps to ensure she never did it again. He shaved her head bald, so that she’d know what it felt like to be in her victim’s shoes.

Needless to say, his method of rebuke has drawn plenty of criticism online, but he isn’t phased by any of it. On the contrary, he told CafeMom that he thinks it was a perfectly acceptable reaction.

He also told CafeMom that his daughter is dating the other girl’s ex-boyfriend, which contributed to the drama that played out.

“They were having an argument in class about stupid teenage gossip regarding my daughter’s boyfriend. At some point the other girl mentioned how my daughter’s boyfriend was just using her for sex (this was actually a big shock to me as I had no idea she was sexually active) and called my daughter a slut.

American actor Kurt Vogel Russell is from. At the age of 12, he made his television acting debut in the western series. Russell received a Golden Globe nomination in 1983 for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture for his performance in Mike Nichols’ Silkwood.

Russell was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. His father, Bing, also worked as a performer. Louise Julia Russell, a ballerina, is his mother.

The Globe claims that Kurt Russell suffers from a malignant flesh-eating disease.

The 65-year-old Hateful 8 actor has reportedly been spotted with unattractive sores beneath his lower lip that are thought to be caused by Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), which has been related to intestinal cancer.

Cancer.Net reports that “the lifetime risk of cancer in those with PJS may be as high as 93 percent.”

The sores are “precancerous lesions that can become aggressive and dangerous if not treated immediately and properly,” said Dr. Stuart Fischer, who does not treat Kurt.

Kurt “needs immediate tests,” agrees immunologist and Maryland resident Dr. Gabe Mirkin, who also believes that PJS may be to fault for the sores. He requires therapy as soon as possible.

The Globe also reports that Kurt and his 71-year-old longtime partner Goldie Hawn have lately fought.

Kurt was slated to be honored into the Hall of Great Western Performers in Oklahoma City in October. His name is already on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Nevertheless, Kurt is unable to go owing to a “unexpected medical situation.”

In a statement, the actor insisted that he required surgery, a procedure that, according to his doctor, obviously could not be postponed. According to The Oklahoman, he will have hip surgery.

“I had assumed it could wait, but my doctors say it needs to happen in September. Russell said in the statement, “As much as I would have liked to be there this year, I’m grateful that the museum decided to delay our honor until 2022 so I could personally accept this magnificent prize.

Kurt Russell should be commended for being inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers! We wish him a speedy recovery from his procedure later this month.

Conclusion
Kurt was supposed to be inducted into Oklahoma City’s Hall of Great Western Performers even though his name is already on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Nevertheless, Kurt is unable to go owing to a “unexpected medical situation.” The 64-year-old actor was spotted in New Orleans with bruises and scrapes all over his arms and face. According to The Globe, Kurt Russell has a deadly flesh-eating sickness.

For years, my husband and I had been struggling with our son’s behavior. At eight years old, Ethan was a fireball of energy, often defiant, and seemed to have little regard for rules. He wasn’t a bad kid—just strong-willed, easily distracted, and stubborn to a fault. We tried every parenting approach in the book: positive reinforcement, time-outs, even the occasional stern punishment. Nothing worked. If anything, our constant corrections only seemed to make him dig in his heels further.

Then, one weekend changed everything.

My mother-in-law, Susan, had always been eager to spend more time with Ethan. She adored him, though she often hinted—sometimes not so subtly—that we were too lenient with him. “He just needs a firm hand,” she’d say with a knowing smile. So, when she invited Ethan to spend the weekend at her house, we thought, why not? It would give us a break, and maybe he’d enjoy a change of pace.

When Sunday evening rolled around and we picked him up, I immediately noticed something was different. Instead of running ahead and throwing his backpack onto the floor as he usually did, Ethan walked calmly to the car. He buckled his seatbelt without being asked.

At home, the changes were even more striking. He offered to set the table for dinner. He cleared his plate and washed it. Later, when I walked into the living room, he was vacuuming—without being told!

I looked at my husband, bewildered. “Did we pick up the wrong kid?” I joked. But in truth, something about his sudden transformation unsettled me. A single weekend couldn’t change a child that much. Could it?

The unease grew as the days passed. Ethan was polite, obedient, even reserved. He played on his tablet less. He never argued when we asked him to do something. It was… unnatural. I should have been thrilled, but instead, I felt a creeping sense of dread.

I decided to ask him what had happened at Grandma’s.

At first, he shrugged and muttered something about having fun. But when I gently pressed, he hesitated, looking away.

“Ethan,” I said softly, “Did something happen at Grandma’s house?”

His little hands gripped the hem of his shirt. He chewed his lip, then finally, in a small voice, he said, “I heard them talking.”

“Talking about what?”

“About you and Dad.”

A chill ran through me. “What do you mean?”

“Saturday night,” he said, eyes downcast, “Grandma and her boyfriend were in the kitchen. They lit some candles and thought I was asleep, but I heard them. Grandma was talking about you and Dad… about how you fight. She said that if I keep acting bad, you might get divorced.”

My breath caught in my throat.

He looked up at me, his big brown eyes filled with something I never wanted to see in my child—fear.

“She said you’re already stressed and that I make it worse. That if I don’t change, you’ll be too tired of each other and won’t love each other anymore.” His voice wavered. “I don’t want you and Dad to get divorced.”

I felt my heart break. I pulled him into my arms, holding him as tightly as I could.

“Oh, sweetheart,” I whispered, stroking his hair. “You don’t have to worry about that. Dad and I love each other, and we love you no matter what. Nothing you do will ever change that.”

Ethan sniffled. “But what if I make you too tired?”

“You won’t.” I pulled back so I could look him in the eyes. “It’s our job to take care of you, not the other way around. And sometimes parents argue, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to split up.”

Relief washed over his face, but it was mixed with something else—doubt.

That night, I lay awake, replaying the conversation in my head. I had no doubt Susan meant well, but she had planted a terrible fear in my son’s heart. And in her attempt to “fix” him, she had burdened him with something no child should have to carry—the belief that his parents’ marriage depended on his behavior.

The next day, I called Susan. I kept my voice calm, but firm.

“I know you care about Ethan,” I said, “but we need to talk about what you said around him.”

She sounded confused at first, but as I explained what Ethan had overheard, she let out a sigh. “Oh, honey, I didn’t mean for him to hear that.”

“But he did,” I said. “And now he’s scared that if he misbehaves, we’ll get divorced. That’s not okay.”

“Maybe it’s not such a bad thing he heard us,” she said defensively. “Sometimes kids need a wake-up call.”

“No,” I said firmly. “He needs to feel safe. He needs to know that our love for him isn’t conditional.”

There was a long silence before she finally said, “I never meant to scare him.”

“I get that,” I said. “But fear isn’t the answer. We have to teach him with love, not threats.”

After that conversation, things changed. Susan apologized to Ethan and reassured him that he wasn’t responsible for our marriage. Slowly, he relaxed. He still kept some of his newfound helpfulness, but the old spark returned—the playful, mischievous boy we loved.

It was a lesson for all of us. Parenting isn’t about breaking a child’s spirit to make them obey. It’s about guiding them with love, patience, and understanding. And most importantly, it’s about making sure they always feel safe—no matter what.

They are holding hands while taking in the breathtaking view of the ocean. Everything appears perfect, but don’t be fooled – there are not one, but TWO major errors hiding in plain sight.

Time to Unveil the Mistakes Let’s take a closer look at this picture-perfect scene. The first error becomes apparent when you notice the presence of not one, but TWO moons in the sky. That’s right, a full moon and a crescent moon – an absolute impossibility! It seems like nature has played a little trick on us.

But that’s not all. The second mistake is a bit more subtle, yet equally noticeable once you spot it. Take a closer look at the couple’s hands – you’ll see an extra hand holding a phone. That’s quite a glaring mistake, isn’t it? It seems even the most idyllic images can have their fair share of discrepancies.

We all remember having that one Best Friend Forever (BFF) when growing up in the ’90s—someone we’d have late-night phone calls with, gossip about how strict our parents were, and even coordinate outfits together. When comparing best friends in the ’90s to today, a lot has changed, but some fundamentals stay the same: we still spend late nights on the phone with our BFFs and gossip with them. We also coordinate outfits but pretend it was a total accident. Honestly, things aren’t that different; we’re just older and drink more wine.

Best friends are like the siblings we either never had or didn’t get along with. While siblings might have stolen our favorite toys and run around outside with our training bra on their head (true story for some), our best friends were the ones we made prank calls with and cried on their shoulder when we saw our crush holding hands with someone else on the playground. We wouldn’t be who we are today without our best friends, both back in the ’90s and now, even if things have changed a bit.

1. The Fights We Get Into
In the ’90s: Your BFF totally promised to take care of your digital pet while you were on vacation, and then she let it die. You couldn’t look at her the same way afterward.

Today: Adults don’t really fight anymore. Instead, we leave passive-aggressive comments on Facebook and purposely don’t like each other’s Instagram posts.

2. How We Make Up Afterward
In the ’90s: This was the pre-smartphone era, so getting through a fight with your BFF often involved passing a note in class, filled with frown faces, dotting the i’s with hearts so she knew how sad you were without her, and ending it with “LYLAS” — “love you like a sis,” for those who forgot.

Now: The peace offering usually involves a $12 Starbucks coffee and a smiling selfie of you two together to put the past behind you.

3. Friday Night Entertainment
In the ’90s: We’d go to the mall and buy fake nose rings from Claire’s, just before sneaking into an R-rated movie. We were such rebels.

Now: Who goes out anymore? Not us. Give us something on Netflix to binge-watch and a bottle (or two) of wine, and we’re good to go. Can you say FriYAY?

4. Playing Wingwoman
In the ’90s: After deciding who the love of your life was using the almighty cootie catcher, you’d stage a run-in during science class while your BFF kept other girls away.

Today: Every BFF knows the way to help you find lasting love is by spending 14 hours searching for him on Facebook with nothing but his middle name.

5. Squad Goals
In the ’90s: Life was all about finding a few more girls as cool as you so you could pretend to be the Spice Girls.

Now: The good news is you only need one more person to do the Single Ladies dance, but you’re not much of a people person these days, so your BFF is more than enough.

The reason why red dots appear on the skin can be various, and while some of them go away on their own, some require a suitable treatment.

Some of the most common reasons which lead to the red spots are allergic reactions, acne residual mark, vascular birthmarks, skin spots due to angiomas, protein overproduction, heat rash, insect bites, leaking capillaries, as well as autoimmune conditions.

1. Petechiae and Purpura
These are tiny red dots that appear on the skin due to damaged blood vessels or capillaries. They can be caused by stress, coughing, or certain medications. Although they are usually harmless, they can sometimes indicate underlying platelet disorders.

2. Cherry Angiomas
These small, raised, bright red bumps are a result from an overgrowth of blood vessels and are generally harmless. They usually appear at old age.

3. Heat Rash
Heat rash occurs when sweat becomes trapped in sweat ducts and causes itchy, red dots to appear on the skin.

4. Allergic Reactions
Redness can also occur in case of an allergic reaction to food, substances, medications, or insect stings or bites.

5. Folliculitis
Folliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicles, usually caused by bacterial or fungal infections resulting in red, pus-filled dots on the skin that can be uncomfortable.

6. Cellulitis
Cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection that causes redness and swelling of the skin. It usually requires medical attention and treatment with antibiotics.

7. Impetigo
Impetigo is a contagious bacterial infection that primarily affects children and is characterized by red sores that open, ooze fluid, and later form a crust.

8. Vasculitis
Vasculitis is a condition associated with autoimmune disorders or infections that involves inflammation of blood vessels.

9. Hemangiomas
Hemangiomas are birthmarks that result from abnormal growth of blood vessels. While they are generally harmless, occasional medical intervention may be necessary.

Home remedies which help the prevention of spreading and getting rid of the red dots include some of the most widely used herbs and plants.

Below are three remedies you can try in case you notice red dots on your skin. Of course, it is always highly recommended to consult with a professional.

The Aloe Vera treatment consists of applying extract of fresh aloe vera gel on the skin twice a day. The gel should be left for 15 to 20 minutes.
Another helpful home remedy is massaging the freshly cleaned skin with coconut oil. For it to give the best results, the oil should be left overnight. Repeat the process until you notice any results.
Dandelion is another plant that helps with the red skin dots. The usage is as follows: Boil dandelion root powder in water and then strain and sip for detoxification.

In case you notice a change in the form of the red dots or patches consult a doctor and make sure to maintain a healthy lifestyle and a healthy diet which includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, juices, and healthy fats.
