Don't Mess With Dolly

Filed under: Howard Stern > Dolly Parton

dollly.jpg

Last week, Howard Stern and his crew manipulated recordings from some Dolly Parton audio books into stuff that was seemingly racist and sexually graphic.

Well, Dolly's pissed!

Miz Parton just released the following statement through her reps:

I have never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated in all my life. I cannot believe what Howard Stern has done to me. In a blue million years, I would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth. They have done editing or some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing. Please accept my apology for them and certainly know I had nothing to do with this. If there was ever going to be a lawsuit, it’s going to be over this. Just wanted you to know that I am completely devastated by this.

And there you have it.

We love Howard, but….

We love Dolly more!

    aww shes so sweet. i kinda feel bad for her! we all know how howard is on his show and how he makes fun of everybody but this must have really hurt poor dolly. :(

    Oh be quiet. Howard has done this to a ton of other stars. Now she's just drawing attention to it to get some attention.

    104

    the list of audio books that richard and sal have hit is long and funny

    william shatner
    bill clinton
    bill cosby
    Oprah

    all 4 of those people are way BIGGER than Dolly and would have done something if they could have. Dolly is going to eat this one……along with all her fans. You can bitch all you want, but you can't stop the King.

    and to the person who said this wasn't funny, you need to get a clue. Howard isn't advocating racism or child molestation. If you make that connection then I am not sure what you hear. It's clearly a JOKE. Get a sense of humor. Words can't hurt you and your going through life in a real shitty way with that stick up your ass.

    screw that old bag…..Howard Stern rules she is just looking for publicity before she goes 6 feet under…tell her to go back to American Idol…Perez you should be ashamed you were on Howard's show to chose her over him

  6. artie lange says – reply to this


    106

    What's NOT funny about using the N word.

    Editing someone's voice in this case is PARODY. It is covered by free speech. Look up the case sited earlier in the comments. She won't ever file, because it will be a waste of time and money for HER.

    For real…Dolly Parton…she is like a D list celebrity at best.

    Perez, you're an idiot. It's a JOKE!!! It's a bit that they do with everyones audio-books and they are usually hilarious. They've done everyone including Pres. Clinton and it's hilarious. It's not about liking or disliking anyone it's just a funny bit. Relax people there are way bigger problems to worry about than this. Silly-Dolly! ;-)

    114

    Howard is so irrelevant since he went on Sirius and desperate for attention that he and his dumb-dumbs would do anything to stir it up to try and let people know he is still around! I used to love Howard back in the day, but….Team Dolly!

    116

    Re: Howard Sucks

    Howard has been doing this book on tape thing for much longer than he has been at Sirius, so get your facts straight. If you were a fan back in the day then surely you have heard all of this before.

    He is far from irrelevent, but if that makes you feel better then so be it. Keep listening to the morning zoo. You just sound like an idiot when you make claims with no basis in reality. You CANNOT dispute his success. Sirius would not exist WITHOUT him. He is the most successful radio performer of ALL TIME.

    This is the most pub Dolly has had in 20 years.

  17. Scot says – reply to this


    117

    Of course you love her more. she is in the top ten gay icons and we know true Queens can never desert their favs! Dolly, get a sense of humor and stop taking yourself so seriously. William Shatner was on Howard today and he was able to laugh at himself. So sick of our "offended society"

  18. Stan says – reply to this

    I find it hilarious that a man as ugly as Howard Stern has the balls to make fun of anyone.

    Re: Neb – hey dummy if you're going to quote net worths why don't you make sure you get the money right…..what a dummy you are

    Dolly's net worth has been estimated by experts to be between $200 million and $400 million, making her the wealthiest country music entertainer and one of the wealthiest female entertainers in the U.S., surpassed only by Oprah, Mary Tyler Moore and Barbara Streisand.)
    that's right from her site dummy hahahaha
    When you put into account Howard's sirius deal, the money from his book, movie, prior radio deals, and Howard TV he's going to come in well over 600 million…..you do the math

    #11 - free speech with your own voice. Big difference. Howard should stick to being a smut head in his own voice. She has every right to be disgusted and sue his perverted ass.

  35. eddy says – reply to this


    135

    Well, if anyone can take on Howard Stern, it would be Dolly. I hope she does sue….because that type of shit is embarrasing and what's more, it can ruin a brand, in this case herself which she has built up to a certain standard all these years. Yeah, it may be funny, but Howard better be ready to pay!

    her audio book was spliced together - poorly - on purpose. if she filed a lawsuit, she wouldn't get anywhere. splicing a public figure's audio together is not "illegal" or "slander," as some of you moronic internet lawyers are claiming. dolly obviously only released this statement to clear things up for the 812 confused rednecks out there who hear the clips from howard's show and think they're legit. the rest of us have some intelligence.

    Oh poor Howard… Trying to spark up controversy to get attention to a show that no one listens to anymore… Guess that whole move to Sirius didn't pan out as expected… I know no one who switched over just for him and those that did don't even listen to him. I'm sure he still has an audience but it is nothing to what it used to be…. It's sad, I listened in all the time, but felt that move to Sirius was a slap in the face for the fanbase… What a hasbeen…

    Re: laura – Well, Dolly doesn't know what SHE'S messing with-THE FIRST AMENDMENT! The Supreme Court has already tried this case-it's called PARODY AND it's the same reason why Paris Hilton lost her bid to take down Hallmark. GET EDUCATED, DOLTS! THIS IS ALL FOR PUBLICITY ON DOLLY'S PART. HOLLYWOOD BULLSHIT!

    Hustler Magazine, Inc. v. Falwell, 485 U.S. 46 (1988), the United States Supreme Court held, voting 8-0, that the First Amendment's free-speech guarantee prohibits awarding damages to public figures to compensate for emotional distress intentionally inflicted upon them unless they can show that the statements that gave rise to the distress were false and that the person that made those statements knew they were false or acted with reckless disregard for the truth in making the statements.

    Ummm hello Dolly!? Howard's show is a COMEDY. No one takes the rehashed tapes seriously. Howard's guys have done this with countless celebrities.

    Dolly is one of the greatest hotties of the world. At age 62 she still looks better than a lot of those so-called supermodels. I'd say it's way overdue that she showed "The Best Boobs in the Bizz" to the world, so c'mon Dolly pose nude in the near future and don't wait until y'er 100-th birthday or at least have the pictures that have been taken in the past published!!

This is just another example of some dumbass idiot trying to take the spotlight from someone who actually has the light on them by using that person's original material - because Howard can't make good original material. Howard ass sucking stern is the biggest slime ball on earth and his show sucks even bigger wind. I hope Dolly sues him straight into bankruptcy! LOVE YOU DOLLY, GIVE HIM HELL!

    Perez,

    You are a back stabbing asshole! Howard gave you a ton of new fans. When you were on his show promoting he treated you with nothing but respect and praised your honesty. Howard is the reason I found your site. You should know that Howard and his team make fun of everyone including that cunt Dolly. When was the last time Dolly plugged you to millions of listeners. Think about it bitch! Your loyalty should be to Howard I hope you rethink your post and take the right side.

    Howard stern is TRASH. Dolly Parton has more grace and class in her pinky finger than all you hate mongers put together. And if she DOES decide to go up against that bag of assholes in a court of law, Stern doesn't have a leg to stand on. Her manager ALONE will eat that bastard for breakfast! It's libel … it's slander and CRUDE defamation of character. Character of a woman who handles herself and her dealings with others, ALWAYS, with heart and great dignity. Wish I was half as classy and kind-hearted as she is.. then maybe I wouldn't feel the urge to scream FUCK YOU! on her behalf and behalf of all who love and respect her. ….Hope she DOES sue his common ass. …and takes the money and goes and has as much plastic surgery as she wants JUST TO PISS Y'ALL OFF. (sings) "Dontcha wish ya girlfriend was HOT LIKE ME…" *Love* SarahKaine

    188

    Dolly can't touch Howard in innovation. You are on a site that was spawned because of Howard Stern. The first to make fun of celebrities. Perez is a format thief. Howard is a COMEDY GOD! Try to be funny for 5 hours a day and stay relevant for thirty years. If Dolly has any guts she would face Howard on his show and I guarantee his fans would respect her more.

    Well, #1 it's free speech. #2, and probably more important, parodies etc have always been found legal. Remember when Jerry Falwell was accused of having sex with his mother (or something like that?) - all the way to the Supreme Court that said Hustler was within its rights to parody a known figure. So, sorry Dolly. Gees, just take the joke. It's Stern, for God's sake!

    You have been on his show at least 2 times ! And you kissed his ass while you were on it. Quit talking shit about Howard "The King of ALL Media". You wouldn't be able to do and be who you are without him and his influences. Dolly is an old diva with no sense of humor. I'd love to see her try to sue Howard. Bababooey to you all!!! 143

    I love the whole fucking show every single day. William Shatner today was amazing. And the mincing of "books on tapes" and remixing is hysterical. Love it. Always. And Perez you better bow down at the feet of your lord. Queen of all Media — THIEF. And ingrate.

    well, she has to issue a clarification to let people know that its not her speaking on the tape because most of the people who listen to that yokel shit she sings are retarded idiots from deep deep south who are clearly too stupid to realize that its a spliced recording.

  100. jman says – reply to this


    200

    And Perez, you fat tub of cum, better call into the show tomorrow and apologize to Howard for saying such stupid shit like you're liking Dolly more than him. You certainly don't wanna incur his wrath or the wrath of his fans like myself, who were introduced to you by him. Get those cocksucking lips ready and start sucking up some wicked apology penii, prontissimo.
