Parton still in love with husband

Country legend Dolly Parton laughed off reports her husband Carl Dean is
asking for a divorce, insisting the pair are still happy after 38 years.

Earlier this year, reports suggested the Jolene singer, 58, and construction
worker Dean, who married in May 1966, were undergoing divorce proceedings
and Dean was demanding a $100m (?78.2m) settlement.

Settling rumours, Parton jokes: "He said 'Hell, I would leave you for that
kinda money.'"

I really really like Dolly ......I think she is the most honest and down to
earth person and beneath all the "falseness" of her on stage character I
think is a very sincere person. She is one person I'd love to spend an
afternoon ( or two ) with ......

I saw her on a talk show years ago; the host asked her what she wanted
people to know about her (or something like that) and she said "I just want
people to know that there's a brain under all this hair and a heart under
these boobs." I thought it was kind of cute and pretty much follows what
you're saying.

my sister was talking to an actress a few years ago who had a small part on
one of her films and she told her that Dolly tried to hit on her..

whilst not proof in itself, the woman also alledged it was 'known' in the
industry

A few years a go, whenever she was in town, she could always be found alone
in the bar section of a restaurant where the bartender was a beautiful
lesbian. It wasn't difficult to see the mutual attraction between them.
There is a lot more but let's save that for another time.

Lily Tomlin has also been rumored to be gay. I guess Jane Fonda had a heck
of a time fending off those two in '9 to 5' or maybe she didn't fend off.

Good point and memory - I had forgotten about them there together. That must
have been a fun set!

Lily Tomlin is definitely gay. Hasn't she even come out (so to speak) and
said so? If I'm not mistaken, her girlfriend is the one who produced "Signs
of Intelligent Life in the Universe"....or whatever that show/tour was
called.

You're right, and I think recent stories about Lily have referred to Jane
Wagner as her partner or words to that effect. It might have been a big
secret at one time but I don't think it is any more.

Lily is on the cover of the Northwest Airline in flight magazine for October
and they mention that Jane Wagner has been her business and personal partner
for decades.

There also have been rumors of her affairs with men including a music
director and a co-star. I don't think her marriage is a sham but I do
think it's "open."

And what would her being bi have to do with loving her husband? Can't
she do both?

I'm not sure it's a rumor anymore. She doesn't exactly wear a sign but doesn't
Lily Tomlin very quiety out of the closet? That writer person, Jane something,
havn't they been together for a long time?

Oh, for the love of God, Lily is not rumoured to be gay, she is
completely gay. She is out. She's been living with her writer Jane
Wagner for years.

That crack about Fonda is kind of creepy.

The previous post seemed to imply that.
