Another generous donation from Dolly Parton. It was recently announced that the country superstar donated $1 million to the Salvation Army this year, which is the second time she's donated $1 million to the organization. The gift will immediately serve local communities across the country to meet vital needs with food and grocery programs, and of course, comes after Parton headlined The Salvation Army's 27th annual Red Kettle Campaign Kickoff halftime show last year at AT&T stadium when the Dallas Cowboys played the Washington Commanders. This money actually comes from the Courage and Civility award fund she was honored with by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his partner Lauren Sanchez, which Dolly previous used to fund a donation to Hurricane Helene relief efforts in October. The Salvation Army's National Commander Kenneth G. Hodder says that they're "honored" to receive such a generous gift from Dolly, and it will go towards serving millions of individuals and families who are in need this holiday season: "Ms. Parton is once again ringing in hope and holiday spirit through another incredibly generous donation. Ahead of this Christmas season, when hope is needed more than ever, we are honored and grateful to receive this gift which will help The Salvation Army serve millions of individuals and families during a time of vital need." The organization adds: "With the help of generous contributions like Parton's during the holidays, The Salvation Army can meet the immediate and long-term needs of millions of individuals and families.' And while we're on the topic of Dolly and The Salvation Army, let's not forget her aforementioned, iconic halftime performance in 2023. Dolly shocked the world when she came out wearing the iconic Dallas Cowboys cheerleading uniform that barely anyone can really pull off, much less a woman who is pushing 80 (she’s 78)… but most people aren’t Dolly Parton, obviously. Running through hits like “Jolene” and “9 to 5,” in addition to a cover of the Queen hit “We Are The Champions,” Dolly was still promoting her massive Rockstar album, and it was quite a moment. Of course, most us were stuck on her dazzling outfit, which her manager, Danny Nozell, later told Billboard was all Dolly’s idea, and no one else knew anything about it… and yes, they all “fainted” when she walked out of the dressing room and they saw her for the first time: “Dolly didn’t tell or show anyone that she was going to dress as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader until it was time to go to the stage. It was completely her idea. She waited until right before she went to stage and came out of the dressing room to show us all. When she came out, myself, the security and my staff fainted. I couldn’t tell the difference between Dolly and the cheerleaders. That is the genius of Dolly, and people are still talking about it.” She's a national treasure, who must be protected at all costs.... long live the queen: Dolly Parton FULL Thanksgiving Halftime Show#NFL #AmericanFootball pic.twitter.com/hC6v38fa2v — Crypto.Man (@hoangcrab_) November 24, 2023

Shutting it down. Riley Green and Ella Langley have had some major success as a duo over the last several with their wildly popular song “You Look Like You Love Me,” which just went #1 at country radio, becoming Ella's very first radio chart-topper. It's put up crazy streaming numbers, and they even won a CMA for Musical Event of the Year with the smash hit. And of course, ever since these two have been performing the flirty song onstage many times since it was released, it's naturally led to fans wondering if there's something more going on with them, aside from being friends and duet partners. In addition to addressing the rumors, Riley explained on The Viall Files: Going Deeper podcast with Nick Viall today how it came to be a duet in the first place, because it was not originally written that way: "I first heard it from a promoter that kind of helps manage her, a buddy of mine. I was touring in Alabama, and he would put her on some shows of mine. I liked her voice, she's obviously from Alabama, very country which I liked. And he played the song for me, and it wasn't really pitched to me like it needed to be a duet, he was just like, 'What do you think about this?' And I was like, 'It's cool, like there's something cool about the girl picking up the guy or whatever.' The second verse was like more of the first verse, and I thought, well, Ella's going on tour with me next year, maybe if the second verse was the guy's perspective or something , we might have a song to play on tour. I had no idea it would be a hit at all. One day, I opened my phone and you couldn't not hear it." And he's said before that they're just friends, adding that he understands why people love to speculate, because country fans love a good power couple, along the lines of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, as well as George Jones and Tammy Wynette (which didn't exactly end well, but you get the point). He assured them that he and Ella are just friends, joking that Ella's "too smart" to date him anyways: "Yeah, I mean, Ella's probably too smart to date me anyway. But I think that's kind of the country music fan, like, they love the Tim McGraw and Faith, and the George and Tammy. And when we fist started having the success we did with that song, I kinda told Ella, I was like, 'There's gonna be a lot of things said, but I mean, you don't really have to play into it or not play into it, its gonna be something people enjoy the same way we do when we go listen to those songs.' It's cool to have that one and have that moment onstage with her every night. The title track to my album is called 'Don't Mind If I Do,' and that's a really big song, so it's cool to have that one with her and that's a completely different type of song."
