As if Dolly Parton wasn't already fabulous, she can now add a PHD to her list of accomplishments.

Our favorite country diva received her honory degree in humane and musical letters from University of Tennessee in Knoxville. The audience of 1,069 new graduates from the College of Arts and Sciences gave Parton a rightly deserved standing ovation.

Dolly was thrilled and even made a quip or two in her acceptance speech:

"So when people say something about 'Double-D,' they will be thinking of something entirely different."

Loves her.

When you're feeling sad and blue, just turn to Dolly.

The woman is like a burst of sunshine!

Parton came out to support her former 9 to 5 co-star Jane Fonda by attending the opening night of the former aerobicising actress' new Broadway play, 33 Variations, Monday night in the NYC.

Dolly Parton performed her ambassadorial duties Tuesday night at a National Press Club luncheon in Washington, D.C., where she spoke on behalf of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

The Park is celebrating its 75th anniversary and Parton is its official "Ambassador."

Dolly, of course, looked fa-bu-lous!

She is defender of all things wonderful! Including national parks!
