If you Google Dolly Parton quotes, there are a million that are awesome. She and yogi berra had the best natural quotes. Yeah. All right. Weve had the best day. Not only has dolly been here since early morning, we had charlie, our little puppy, and his brothers. His sisters. And we had 9yearold zion did you see him, dolly . This story is unbelievable. This little 9yearold boy developed an infection in his hands when he was 2. And his feet. They had to amputate both his hands and legs. Well, surgeons did something miraculous. They attached hands, working, functioning hands to little zion. Well, hes 9 years old now. He came to see us today. Weeping, joyful weeping in the makeup room. Take a look at the moment he threw the first pitch at the Baltimore Orioles game this month and what he told savannah about his new hands. Okay, zion. Whenever youre ready. It was like, okay. When i let this ball go its your pitch. I have to see how far it will go. And i was surprised it went that hand this morning. Whats your favorite things about these new hands you have . Just being able to wrap them around my mom. Aw. Give her a good hug. Unbelievable. We just lost dolly. The first time she saw my lord. That got me thats a song, isnt it . Yes. I didnt see that part. I dont want to mess up my heaven forbid. Mess up eyeliner. Lets get serious. Oh, thank you. Ill run it over to dolly. Here you go, my love. Thank you. There you go. Thats so touching. Then Something Interesting with courteney cox. Courteney cox from friends. You dont see her opening up about a lot of personal stuff. You just dont. She office that show with bear grylls, running wild with bear she was out there. She started talking about her own looks and, you know, the pressure to stay youthful and stuff like that because she is such an icon on friends. Take a look. I think theres a pressure to maintain that not just because of fame but just, you know, being a woman in this business and getting olders not been i dont think thats the easiest thing. But i have learned lessons. To keep up with getting older, trying to chase that something you cant keep up with. So the more you relax into it and the less i try because sometimes you find yourself trying and you look at a picture of yourself and go, oh, god. Yeah. Like, i look horrible. You know, i have done things that i regret. And luckily, theyre things that dissolve and go away. So thats good because its so now, i just have a new motto. Just let it be. Wow. Good for her. What do you think . Amazing. Thats touching, too. Yeah. I need some more snot rags. Well, will you ever just let it be, dolly . I dont think so. No way will i let it be. I dont mind getting older. Im just going to try the best i can. Im going to get a nip, tuck, something plucked im not going to just let it go. Her attitude and my attitude. Do whatever you got to do. A little at a time as often as possible . Told you that time you had no makeup on. I said, kathie lee, put that makeup on. Dont go out like that.

Its called beautiful things. Take a look, and then the judges reactions. . Beautiful things gather even when the weather is low . . Ah high above . . Up in the sky dont you cry its all gonna be all right . Some of the stuff you were playing, maybe the notes are wrong, your voice is a little croaky at times. But that is what makes you perfect.

I didnt know what it was to love it or not love it because i hadnt experienced the job before. With every rejection, you got stronger. Did you go back to your hotel i did the sobbing, but i kept going because im stubborn. If i were to have a backup plan for this job, mine would have been to be a teacher. I would have loved that. Youve always said that. What would your backup plan have been . I dont think i ever had one.
