Dolly Partonis opening up about the “hard times with my health” she’s been forced to face in a new update.

“I am dealing with some health issues that I just didn’t pay attention to when I was watching over Carl [Thomas Dean],” Parton, 80, told Peoplein an interview published Friday, August 21, referring to her late husband who died at 82 in March 2025.

Parton announced in May that she needed to postpone her Las Vegas residency over undisclosed health concerns. At the time, the country icon revealed that she was “responding really well to meds and treatment.”

While discussing her health issues with People, Parton acknowledged that she’s previously overcome other conditions related to her health.

Dolly Parton Abruptly Skips Dollywood Event Due to Health Issues: ‘Sometimes I Get a Little Dizzy’

“It’s not like I haven’t been through hard times with my health,” she said. “But I think because we live in a 24/7 world with social media, everything gets magnified in ways it wasn’t years ago. I used to joke that I was the Queen of the Tabloids, but now I guess I can say I’m the Queen of Social Media AI! Seriously, though, even though I’m still healin’, I’m still workin’.”

Earlier this month, Parton missed a scheduled appearance at the opening of a new roller coaster at her Dollywood theme park.

“I’m supposed to be there in person, like we planned,” she said in a video message shared with attendees. “Now I’ve told you before, all my fans, that I have had a few little health issues. And sometimes I get a little dizzy, and I get dehydrated.”

Parton continued at the time, “I’m dehydrated, so my Nashville doctor clipped my wings, saying you ain’t traveling this week. I guess if your doctor tells you you ain’t traveling this week, you ain’t traveling this week.”

Dolly Parton Postpones Vegas Shows Due to ‘Health Challenges’: ‘I Need a Little Time’

Despite her health woes, Parton has continually insisted that she was improving slowly but surely.

“It’s gonna take me a little while before I’m up to stage performance level because some of the meds and treatments make me a little bit swimmy-headed, as my grandma used to say,” she said in her May health update. “And of course, I can’t be dizzy carrying around banjos, guitars and such on five-inch heels.”

Comparing herself to a “classic car” merely in need of restoration, Parton promised to return to the stage “better than ever.”

“When they raised the hood on this old antique, they realized that I need to rebuild my engine and that my transmission is slipping, my oil pan is leaking, my muffler is busted and my shocks and pistons need to be replaced, and for sure, my spark plugs need to be changed,” Parton quipped. “My immune system and my digestive system got all out of whack over the past couple three years, and they’re working real hard on rebuilding and strengthening those and hopefully I’ll be up to snuff again soon.”

The fallout from Joe’s (Zoe Saldaña) kidnapping continued in the latest episode of Lioness — with deadly consequences. Warning: Spoilers forLionessSeason 3 Episode 4, “Murder Hornets,” ahead!

The episode begins with Joe in captivity, being tortured by her Russian captor before she’s dragged kicking and screaming onto a plane.

Kaitlyn (Nicole Kidman) and Byron (Michael Kelly) then huddle with Edwin Mullen (Morgan Freeman) to discuss both strategy and the worst-case scenario. If Joe is kidnapped by Russians, they can extract intel from her about the Lioness program, which would cause feather-ruffling with allies based on their past activities; but what would really be a problem is if they turn her over to Iran, which will make a spectacle of her inevitable trial and execution.

Two Cups (James Jordan) and Bobby (Jill Wagner) track down Joe’s location at the hangar, and Kyle (Thad Luckinbill) devises a circuitous route to access it without alerting those inside. Unfortunately, what they find is not Joe but two lackeys left behind after the plane’s departure.

This is when things get ugly. Though Bobby wants to bring them in for official questioning, Kyle has his own unconventional methods. After the first new hostage proves unhelpful, he shoots him point-blank and moves on to the other, who provides the tail number of the jet and is rewarded with his life as a result.

From there, it’s a race to find the jet for the others, while Bobby immediately informs Kaitlyn of Kyle’s illegal act. Kyle defends himself by insisting no police are going to be called on this and the consequences of Joe’s capture are too consequential for Israel (if she’s nabbed by Iran) to let any stone go unturned. Ostensibly, Kate reprimands Kyle, but after the others are dismissed, she entrusts him with the job of bringing back Oleksandra (Elizaveta Neretin) for potential intel.

Kyle’s actions are just the latest example of the character going rogue throughout Lioness, and it’s also another indication that the once-fringe member of the team is becoming a central component. To unpack his deadly decision and more, TV Insider caught up with Thad Luckinbill.

Did you know before this season that Kyle would become such a big centerpiece?

Thad Luckinbill: No. All of us are always guessing, “What’s going to happen this season?”… No, I had no idea. I’m always grateful that, first of all, the fans like it because I mean, I think if they didn’t, obviously, it wouldn’t be happening. But also that Taylor [Sheridan] likes it and he keeps writing it and believes in me enough to just keep expanding the role a bit. But it’s such a great ensemble. Let’s be honest. You can’t go wrong. You could push any of these guys out to the front, and they’d shine, too. It’s a really fun show that way.

Emerson Miller / Paramount+

Yeah, that’s true. But Kyle is a little bit singular in the fact that we, as an audience, still don’t fully know whether to trust him or his decision-making. So, what’s it like for you to kind of play that line where he can be a little bit sneaky?

Yeah, I mean, it’s probably the most fun character I’ve ever played, I’ll be honest with you, and because there are so many levels to it… I remember when I got the scripts, and I read it, I thought, “God.”… I remember thinking I’m going to take a little bit of this actor and a little bit of this actor, and I know Taylor, and I know his writing, obviously, and I know some of the characters he’s written. I’m like, “Oh, I remember a little bit from that, from that one,” and so I took an amalgamation of things that felt right to me. But what I don’t think I anticipated was his cavalier approach that kept me not really caring that much about [things] — I mean, caring but not caring, right? Doing things at all costs, getting the objective done at all costs. I think that’s the piece of it that evolved a little bit more from the beginning.

Yeah, it’s absolutely true, and actually, that dovetails into another question I have. There’s a scene where he’s trying to convince Kaitlyn that nothing’s going to happen, that the consequences of not killing the guy at the airport are worse than if he did. What was his motivation in that moment? Do you think he cared about Joe, or was it what he was saying, that this international crisis with Israel and Iran can spiral?

New 'Lioness' Star Elizaveta Neretin Reveals a Personal Connection to Her Character

No, I think he believes that. I think part of the way this character was developed was he and Joe worked together in the past. They’ve been with the CIA a long time, and they probably worked with each other, had to call in favors, etc. etc., and then some of that was discussed in previous seasons. But he’s been doing this a long time, and I think some of the stuff they’re even discussing now paints a little bit more of a picture of what his background really is and how much experience he really has. So, I think he has a very clear understanding… of the geopolitics and the repercussions.

So, obviously, in that situation, Kyle and Joe have a very strong relationship, and he’s going to do anything and everything to get her back. But he also knows that… just like what Joe had to do in the first season, where she had to kill her own Lioness — she had to call the bombs back on her own Lioness, she knows what happens if they get her — same thing with Kyle. Kyle knows what happens if Joe falls, and they get the information because she has a wealth of knowledge that they’re going to try to extract, and it puts everybody at risk.

I like what that did to the Kaitlyn dynamic, too… His ability to spout all that out in that moment to such a big person — this is the deputy director’s direct report — and it seemed like she was saying something to the effect of, “You’re on your own if this doesn’t work out, but come with me because we’ve got to talk.” Like she was endeared to him in a way, impressed.

Yeah, well, I mean, he has a lot more clearance, as does Joe, than the QRF team does, right? So, she has to pull him aside to say, essentially, “Look, you’re right, but you did this in a way that gives us a lot of problems. Don’t do it in front of them. Don’t do it again. There are people you do this with, and you know the people you can’t do this with.” I think it was a little bit of a chastise and, “Yeah, you’re right in doing it, but you’re wrong in the way you did it and who you did it with.” … And yeah, I love working with Nicole, by the way… She’s really, really such a good actress, but it’s fun working with her in this dynamic because there’s a little bit of, she needs him, and he obviously needs her and Byron.

Bret Michaels is off the road for the rest of the year as he recovers from kidney stone surgery.

A day after returning to his Live and Amplified tour with a performance in Sugar Hill, Georgia, the rock star, 63, announced that he’s calling off his remaining 2026 dates.

“Doctors and paramedics determined immediately after the show that he still needs additional rest and recovery from his recent surgeries,” according to a statement shared on Michaels’ verified social accounts on Saturday, Aug. 22. “Bret will be taking the next several months off to heal and get back to 100%.”

The post also quotes his physicians, Dr. Abby Borhan and Dr. Patel: “We will be pulling Bret off the road for the time being. He wanted to attempt this show, but we feel there is a much-needed period of rest and slow recovery ahead, especially considering the heat and humidity during the summer months and the effect it can have on his blood sugar levels.”

Bret Michaels forced to postpone shows: The Poison star gives surgery recovery update

Hours later, in a pinned comment on his Instagram account, the Poison frontman wrote: “In my nonstop spirit to go out & do what I love − which is to play music and to see all of you, all my family, friends and fans & meet everybody … it’s what I truly love − I may have just chosen to go sooner than I should have. We will come back better than ever.”

USA TODAY has reached out to Michaels’ representatives for an update.

Last month, Michaels underwent surgery to remove a kidney stone and place a ureteral stent, which took him off the stage for several weeks.

The rock star, a Type 1 diabetic since childhood, has been candid with fans about his health issues. He suffered a brain hemorrhage in 2010, had a hole in his heart repaired in 2011 and underwent kidney surgery in 2014.

"I adapt and change with what my body can do," he told USA TODAY in 2023. "There is no magic pill. I am like a true muscle car – still fast, still fun to ride, but I just need a little more maintenance."

His last planned dates for 2026 were Nov. 13 and 14 in Harris, Michigan, at Island Resort and Casino.

The Bard goes bawdy in this giddy romp of a production

Gracie Oddie-James as Celia in As You Like It at Shakespeare’s Globe - Marc Brenner

Next month, the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) will make history by staging its first-ever all-male production of As You Like It. It stars Broadway stalwart Jonathan Groff and is already creating a buzz. But before that, the Globe rounds off its summer season of comedies with a crowd-pleasing spin on Shakespeare’s pastoral romp about four pairs of lovers running around in the woods – with disguises adding confusion to the mix. Even if it doesn’t always convince emotionally, this pacy production, which leans into the play’s bawdy humour, is still rambunctious fun.

Co-directors Sean Holmes and Charlie Josephine (who also plays Orlando) have created two visually distinct worlds. Before the characters flee to the idyllic Forest of Arden, the action begins in Duke Frederick’s stifling, corrupt court. We first meet Rosalind – whose father, Duke Senior, was usurped – with her cousin Celia, barely able to move in their tall wigs and pastel Georgian gowns. The rest of the decadently dressed court pose in tableaux against the blank canvases which fill the back of the stage; their continuous presence adds to the claustrophobia.

When we shift to Arden – with characters lounging around carefree munching on apples – trees (and blossom when the lovers unite) are painted onto the lifeless canvases. The effect is oddly distancing, and never for one second did I feel immersed in a forest setting.

Paul Wills’s striking costumes are more successful. Amid the dingier rustic clothes worn in Arden, new arrivals Rosalind, Celia – whose sheltered view of how a shepherdess might dress is a cross between Marie Antoinette and Bo Peep – and the court jester Touchstone look hilariously out of place in their disguises.

In terms of the performances, the highlight is the gossipy rapport between two female friends, with Gracie Oddie-James’s spirited, breezy Celia teasing an uptight Rosalind (Lola Shalam) about her crush on Orlando. The pair share some of the show’s funniest moments. With comically exaggerated expressions, Oddie-James is a scene-stealer, which is refreshing given that Celia often feels so sidelined.

Lola Shalam performs as uptight Rosalind - Marc Brenner

It’s a shame, then, that the central romantic pairing never ignites. Left uneducated by his brother, Josephine’s laddish Orlando – with an Estuary accent – sticks out like a sore thumb in the aristocratic court. That characterisation could work, but it’s hard to understand why Shakespeare’s most intelligent female character would fall for this rather gormless and ultimately passive figure. Barely able to contain her sexual desire, Shalam’s forceful Rosalind – in disguise as “Ganymede” – takes the reins in this essentially one-sided relationship, badgering a clueless Orlando into proving his love.

There are some noteworthy performances elsewhere. Peter Bourke as Orlando’s frail servant is a particular highlight; his clarion delivery outshines those whose lines are drowned out by aeroplanes flying above the theatre. Touchstone can be a grating, tedious character, but Jonnie Broadbent – who for some reason spends almost the entire play half-naked – wins a good chunk of the laughs, especially in his lusty displays with Phoebe Naughton’s goatherd Audrey.

Holmes and Josephine’s staging doesn’t concern itself with As You Like It’s emotional depths. (Katherine Pearce’s Jaques is less melancholy and becomes a rather understated figure.) Instead, peppered with audience sing-alongs and folk music, this evening of “rustic revelry” will send audiences out on a giddy high.

Until Oct 25 at Shakespeare’s Globe.

Taylor Sheridan has been accused of stealing the idea for Yellowstone from a writer’s 2016 pitch, according to a new copyright infringement lawsuit.

In the complaint, obtained by The Independent, Lauren J. Salkin alleges that her rejected pitch bore a number of striking similarities to Sheridan’s hit neo-Western drama.

101 Studios, Paramount Global and NBCUniversal are also named as defendants in the suit.

The Independent has contacted representatives for Sheridan and those companies for comment.

In the complaint, Salkin’s lawyers claim she spent more than a decade developing a television series named Sovereign Nation, which centered on “tribal governance, casino-driven economic power, and a modern war over land and development.”

Kevin Costner starred as John Dutton in Sheridan’s wildly successful Western drama (Paramount)

Salkin claims she submitted Sovereign Nation to Taylor Sheridan’s representatives in late 2016 and received a rejection in February 2017. “Taylor thanks you very much for your interest. Unfortunately, he’s unavailable for TV projects,” read the response from his representatives, according to the suit.

Months later, Yellowstone was greenlit by Paramount and its first episode aired on June 20, 2018.

Yellowstone starred Kevin Costner as ranch patriarch John Dutton and followed his family’s fight to protect their sprawling Montana ranch from developers, Native American tribes and rival interests seeking to seize control of their land.

Yellowstone ran for five wildly successful seasons from 2018 to 2024, shattering cable viewing records and spawning an expansive television franchise.

Salkin’s lawyers claim the show “included specific expressive choices already embodied” in Sovereign Nation.

They allegedly included: “A tribal casino functioning as the institutional center of political and development power; a signature confrontation staged in the tribal chairman’s casino office over expansion beyond reservation boundaries; the use of trust land, the absence of zoning restrictions, and a 99-year lease structure as the concrete mechanism for that expansion; and recurring master-plan imagery deployed to dramatize the struggle for territorial control.”

Furthermore, Salkin’s lawyers also claim that she suggested actors Danny Huston and Gil Birmingham in her pitch deck. Both were later cast in Yellowstone and played “materially parallel structural roles,” they allege: “Birmingham as the tribal political leader whose authority and development strategy run through the casino, and Huston as the outside development power broker who supplies the political or commercial path for that expansion.”

The claimant’s lawyers claim Gil Birmingham (right) was cast in ‘Yellowstone’ months after she suggested the actor for the project she pitched to Sheridan (Getty)

Sheridan had previously cast Birmingham in his 2017 film Wind River, however.

The suit goes on to claim that a senior, unnamed HBO TV executive who had reviewed materials for Sovereign Nation later told her he recognized similarities in Yellowstone and rejected Sheridan’s show for that reason.

“When the works are objectively compared, the same coordinated design repeatedly appears: casino-centered institutions organize political power; the same unusual land-development mechanisms propel the conflict; parallel scenes perform the same dramatic functions; and the same actors appear in materially parallel roles,” the complaint says.

“These are not merely convergences of a shared genre. Taken together with access and timing, they support a strong inference of copying.”

Salkin is seeking damages and profits tied to alleged copyright infringement and injunctive relief preventing future infringement.

“This is a classic David-versus-Goliath situation,” Salkin’s attorney Paul B. Lackey told The Hollywood Reporter.

“She spent years putting together the specific and multi-layered framework for a story that has become the biggest streaming success of all time. She has watched the vast commercial success of this story that was stolen from her and decided that enough was enough. We will do everything in our power to get her justice.”

Meghan Markle Reportedly Eyes Acting Comeback Amid Controversial Plans to Return to the U.K.

Meghan Markle is reportedly eyeing Hollywood comeback amid U.K. return | image source: MEGA

As Prince Harry reportedly plans to return to the U.K. with his family, Meghan Markle seems to be eyeing a life-changing opportunity. It’s been a decade since her engagement to the prince; the Suits actress paused her acting career to take on her royal role.

However, now that she and her husband are planning to move to the U.K., reports suggest that Markle has received an acting offer. Although nothing has been confirmed yet, the 45-year-old could make her big-screen comeback when she moves back to Britain.

Meghan Markle’s Acting Offer Might Explain Their U.K. Move

According to entertainment sources who have spoken with the Australian outlet News.com.au,Meghan Markle has been offered a role in an upcoming untitled project based in the U.K.

Although the Duchess and people close to her have refrained from addressing the rumor, it has gained momentum as a potential reason for Markle and Prince Harry’s sudden decision to move to the U.K.

When the couple visited King Charles III at Highgrove House with their children in July 2026, they did not disclose their plans to move to Britain. The King was reportedly informed of the decision on Sunday.

Although Markle has remained a prominent on-screen figure, appearing in documentaries, interviews, and even on MasterChef Australia, she has yet to appear in leading roles in films, after quitting her acting career in 2017.

She told the Daily Mail at that time, “What’s been really exciting, as we talk about this as the transition out of my career is that the causes that have been very important to me, I can focus even more energy on.”

“You realise that as you have access, or a voice that people are willing to listen to, [it comes with] a lot of responsibility, which I take seriously. I don’t see it as giving anything up. I just see it as a change. It’s a new chapter,” Markle said.

The Duke and Duchess’ Security Funding Remains a ‘Private Matter’

Meanwhile, as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex plan to return to the U.K. and live in a non-royal residence outside London, it has raised concerns surrounding their security arrangements.

However, when the U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham was asked about the couple’s security and how it might be funded, he said that it’s a “private matter.”

“This is a private matter. It’s a matter for Harry and Meghan, and we wish them well in the moves that they’re making,” Burnham said, raising people’s curiosity.

Netizens thus reacted to the situation, saying, “How can it be a private matter if PUBLIC money is used?” While others wrote, “I am not standing for Prince Harry and his wife Black Meghan.”
