Dolly Parton is “completely devastated” by a segment on Howard Stern’s radio show aired on May 6th that features her voice making racist and sexually vulgar comments. Obviously her voice was edited. Dolly could be suing HowardHoward, that’s a no-no!

She says the show edited her voice to make it appear she was saying rude things about Kenny Rogers, Linda Ronstadt, Burt Reynolds and Johnny Carson. Parton says she’s “never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated” in all her life.

 
 

Jessica Simpson drops out of the Kennedy Center Honors which will be broadcasted on CBS on Dec. 26, 06. Oops! Apparently she pulls out of the show herself. Oh well, you have got to do what you are happy doing so nothing wrong with dropping out!

 

Jessica was unhappy with her second try to pay tribute to Dolly Parton, the  “9 to 5″ star for the Kennedy Center Honors.
