Dolly Parton

The singer opened the video by singing happy birthday to herself but adding that she'd rather give the gift of music on this day than receive anything herself.

“And in my dream I heard him say/Don’t make me have to come down there/My children, you had best beware/If you don’t pay attention, consequences will be dire/Don’t make me have to come down there.” “Don’t Make Me Have to Come Down There” is what she says God warned from the top of a mountain in a dream so powerful it woke her up out of her sleep. “It’s a song that came to me in a dream and I felt like it was worth putting out there,” she said.

Dolly Parton turns 77 today (Jan. 19) and the queen of country exclusively revealed to E! News how she'll be celebrating her big day.

I’ve had it up to here with you - don’t make me have to come down there.’ So, I just really kind of try to keep myself in a place where I can make people think, if nothing else, whether it be my songs or something I might say or some way that I might be.” That I’ve been blessed to still seem to be important in the world, musically and all the other things that we do. It makes me happy to bring some joy and shine some light on some of the things that where a lot of people are walking in darkness now. We’re doing that this summer, so there’s a whole lot of good things that I want to do, but I guess the network would be one of the things that I have not dabbled in of my own. As I began to conclude my conversation with Dolly, I left her with one final question - Today in 2023, what brings Dolly Parton the most joy? Dolly reveals, “Well, I’m actually hoping to start my own network and actually have movies and other programming on that, so that’s something that is coming up. “It seemed to be a match made in heaven, so then they thought ‘Well, we need to add more of that good southern stuff,’ so that’s when we came up with all the things you just talked about.” “Life has been good to me and God has been good to me, so the least I can do is try to give back in the ways that I can. So, if you’re not even a good cook - a guy like you or some young bride that doesn’t know how to cook, you can always do it on the back of all these things that you can buy off the shelves. In the spring of 2020, Dolly donated $1 million to Covid-19 research at Vanderbilt University that ultimately helped lead to the Moderna vaccine. So, I wondered what Dolly is most looking forward to sharing with fans about this different type of sound coming from her on this new album. I think everybody has to eat, so everybody has to cook something, whether you’re a good cook or not.

Duncan Hines tackles the Southern classics in two new baking mixes created in tandem with the country superstar.

I don’t know what Duncan Hines is interested in doing with me, but I will definitely be doing more things to bring good Southern food to the people who love it. But I always try to incorporate the things that I grew up with, and make it special. People are more health-conscious now than they used to be, back when everything was made with all that butter and grease and lard — all the stuff you need to make things good. I’ve always wanted to have a line of frozen foods, to cook up Southern dishes that people love, like chicken and dumplings. I write so many songs about my past, and many of them do refer to mom’s cooking or what I’m craving. I grew up eating the other, but we’re really trying to be true to the South and do the things that the majority of people want. When we started talking about doing the biscuits, we thought that it would be nice to have recipes that you can mix and match and flavor them up a little bit, depending on your taste for that day. We’ve all relied on Duncan Hines in the past: When you don’t have time to start from scratch or [you] don’t really know how to cook, you get mixes like these, and you can’t make mistakes if you follow the directions. At Dollywood, we have restaurants all over the park and we serve things that my family used to eat, like ham and beans. Can you talk about what it’s like to make this very old-school style of cooking still feel relevant in 2023? Dolly Parton: Because we did so well with the cake mixes, we started thinking about what our next lap was going to be, and the public started saying that they really wanted some cornbread. She’s a country music legend, to put it mildly, a successful actress, a business mogul, and prolific philanthropist who’s donated millions of dollars to causes including childhood literacy and the development of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine.
