As the world continues to mourn Dolly Parton and her contributions to music, songwriting, literacy, and philanthropy, there’s another area of her life where she was undoubtedly a trailblazer: beauty.

Parton wielded acrylic nails, wigs, and her penchant for rhinestones like a weapon, always knowing precisely how to strike for the biggest impact. Hyperfemininity became her signature, her brand, part of what made her so iconic and unforgettable. Like with everything Parton did, her beauty look was curated with great intention. “Hopefully people can see beneath the hair to know there’s a brain, beneath the boobs to know there’s a heart, and behind all the other stuff to know there’s some talent,” she once said. To Barbara Walters, she added: “I’m very real as far as my outlook on life and the way I care about people and the way I care about myself and the things I care about. I just chose to do this, and show business is a money-making joke, and I’ve just always liked telling jokes.”

Bazaar spoke with Parton in 2021 as she launched her first fragrance, Dolly Scent From Above, to learn about her beauty philosophy and favorite products.

“I always wanted to do perfume. I love beautiful scents. People follow me down the hall to ask me what scent I’m wearing. Also, Cher has her own fragrance, and so did Elizabeth Taylor!

One of my childhood memories is going to visit my aunt Estelle, who lived in Knoxville. She had all the nice clothes and perfumes. She was intriguing to a poor little girl—I grew up in the hills of Tennessee. She had sachets in her dresser drawers; I would open them and inhale.

Butterflies are part of who I am. I used to get lost chasing them when I was a child. I wrote a song called ‘Love Is Like a Butterfly,’ and a butterfly is on my new perfume, Dolly Scent From Above.

My favorite wig is the one I’m wearing on the cover of my book Songteller. It’s probably the most famous. My aunt Colleen Owens, who was my hairdresser at the time, came up with that look. Eventually I’d like to have my own line of wigs, hairpieces, and hair products.

I send people out to the drugstore to get beauty products for me. I love Maybelline New York’s eyelash curler, and I’ve always used Pond’s Cold Cream. I still find to this day, even though I have all kinds of expensive products, that the simpler ones are just as good. A lot of the time they work even better.

Lipstick gets on my teeth. Instead, I line and fill in my lips with a Lise Watier pencil, and put M.A.C Lipglass on top.

My home smells so good. I burn candles and incense, and I use sprays. When it comes to candles, I use the most expensive or any that smell good, like those from Yankee Candle. My little nieces and nephews come over and say, ‘It smells like Gigi!’ That’s what they call me.

Of course, I don’t always go out in rhinestones and earrings. But I like putting on a little makeup every day. At home, I don’t want to look like a slouch for my husband, Carl Dean, who doesn’t get to see me that much. I wear the wigs, but I also like pulling my hair up in a scrunchie. And I put on makeup because I never know who’s going to show up at the door.”

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle touched down in the UK, their travel arrangements gave the internet something to rage about.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex privately flew from California and landed in Birmingham, England, on Wednesday, August 26.

“Mr and Mrs Leach?” one person commented online after learning about the eye-watering cost of flying their family and their pets to the other side of the Atlantic.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were branded “hypocrites” for their travel arrangements

Prior to their dramatic departure in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were living in Frogmore Cottage, a wedding gift they received from his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.

They kept the property and renovated it themselves but were asked to “vacate” in 2023, not long after Prince Harry released his memoir Spare.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage,” a spokesperson for the couple said at the time.

Ahead of their planned return this month, the Sussexes reportedly had to scan the English countryside for a new home that’s as close as possible to King Charles III’s nearby country home, Highgrove House.

Several reports claimed they picked the serene Cotswolds region for their new home.

The children are set to start school in September.

The couple paid a hefty sum to transport their kids and their pets to Birmingham, England

The Sussexes reportedly paid a six-figure sum to fly themselves and their kids Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, to the UK.

Also aboard the private jet were their dogs Pula, a black Labrador retriever, and Mia, a beagle. They reportedly left their chickens behind at their Montecito home, which the couple will be keeping.

Their flight was booked through a global private aviation company, Planet 9, which charged $12,000 per hour for the 10-hour flight, according to Page Six.

The Bombardier Global Express XRS has two bathrooms and can comfortably seat 13 passengers.

The private jet also has five beds, two bathrooms, and enough storage space for about 12 to 15 medium suitcases.

Netizens were appalled by the six-figure cost of flying the family to the UK, accusing them of environmental hypocrisy and using their privilege.

“H gets paid to talk about the environment,” one said, while another wrote, “I’m sure the UK Bank of Dad paid for the plane.”

“Then they can afford their own security!” snarked a third.

“And prey tell who f***ing told the media?? Absolute hypocrites!” a fourth exclaimed. “Whelp England, do your thing. Show them just how welcome they really are.”

“So let me get this straight. You can’t turn up to King’s Coronation etc, because of security issues, yet can drop everything and fly in the face of danger to star in a TV show. Hypocrite,” said another.

When the couple landed in the UK this week, reports claimed that there was no police presence or security entourage to greet them.

They were on their own with their own personal security and then driven to the Cotswolds to a “pretty fabulous new home,” according to royal expert Katie Nicholl.

Royal expert Katie Nicholl spoke about why the Sussexes may have taken a private jet despite advocating for sustainability

Nicholl addressed how fans might be wondering why a prince who advocates for the environment and promotes sustainability would take a private jet.

“I wonder if that was to avoid coming into a busy International airport like Heathrow,” because he is footing the bill for his travel and security at the moment, Nicholl told Entertainment Tonight.

Nicholl also described their new home as a “very beautiful place” that is “incredibly private,” with a swimming pool.

It is “set in 83 acres of private farmland” and has no public footpaths within the boundaries, which means nobody from the outside has access to their estate.

meghan

The Cotswolds has long been a magnet for celebrities.

Stars like Hugh Grant, the Beckhams, and model Kate Moss have homes there.

“It’s one of the most beautiful parts of the countryside. I’m never happier than when I’m here,” David Beckham previously told Country Life magazine about the charming location.

Beyoncé and Jay‑Z reportedly bought a home there last year, while Taylor Swift and her newly-minted husband Travis Kelce were rumoured to have holidayed there.

“I’m still hung up on the chickens. Is someone watching them?” one commented online

Allie Colleen Brooks, daughter of country music star Garth Brooks, has faced major pushback for her tribute to Dolly Parton.

The 30-year-old is a country artist and a singer-songwriter who released her debut album, Stones in April 2021. It featured 11 tracks, including the lead single, Playin' House. She is the youngest child of Brooks with his ex-wife, Sandy Mahl.

Brooks posted a tribute on Instagram for the I Will Always Love You singer, where she related the public’s mourning of Parton’s death to how it will be for her when one day she will lose her father, Garth, who is 64.

Dolly Parton died on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at age 80 after a brief battle with cancer. Colleen posted the tribute that same day. She wrote:

“My greatest fear in life is the day my Dad loses his life and I have to see the world mourn a man they never knew the way I knew him.”

All you about Allie Colleen Brooks

Allie Colleen Brooks’ tribute to the late singer, Dolly Parton, has left her fans confused given how she framed her message.

Brooks took to her Instagram, relating the loss of the Jolene singer to her “greatest fear in life” of losing her dad. Her message read:

“To the personal family and friends of Mrs. Dolly you have all my love and condolences today and forever going forward. What a huge, beautiful, special life to have loved and to grieve. Thank you for sharing her will us all.”

Fans saw that Allie Colleen Brooks’ tribute mainly centred around her rather than focusing on Dolly Parton. A user wrote on Instagram:

“This is the weirdest condolence post I have ever seen. It’s giving how can I make something not about myself, about me. This is nepo baby at its worst.”

Another added:

“Allie, just a note. Next time, let someone read your work before you publish it. I know what you meant, however now was not the time to say it.”

But some agreed with her and thanked her for explaining it.

A person wrote:

“I’m more of an avoidant when it comes to fears like this. But that is very very scary and real for my sisters and I. Thank you for explaining it better than I could.”

Born on July 28, 1996, Allie Colleen Brooks is the youngest daughter of Garth Brooks and his ex-wife Sandy Mahl. They share three daughters, including Taylor, August and Allie. Garth and Sandy were college sweethearts who met at a bar near Oklahoma State University. They married in 1986 and separated in 1999, before finalizing their divorce in December 2001 after 15 years of marriage.

Following their divorce, the couple maintain an amicable relationship as they continue to co-parent their daughters. Later, in 2005, Garth married Trisha Yearwood, a fellow country star.

Allie Colleen Brooks attended Belmont University, where she graduated in 2018 with a degree in songwriting and music business. She grew up in Owasso, Oklahoma and has been a passionate singer since a young age. In an interview with Cleveland, she spoke about following in her father's and her stepmother’s footsteps and said:

“I am doing this because quite honestly, because even though I wouldn’t choose a different career, I don’t feel like I have a choice to do anything other than music. I’m not good at anything else. I’m not athletic… There’s just something about music. As a girl who struggles with confidence, it’s the only thing I know I’m good at.”

Allie Colleen Brooks is known for personal and heartfelt songwriting and a strong voice that blends classic and modern country. She has built an independent career and has said in interviews that she doesn’t want to be seen as a “byproduct” of Garth Brooks.

Reports split over whether forced contraception of Greenlandic women and girls constituted genocide Fri, August 28, 2026 at 5:58 PM UTC 3 NUUK, Greenland (AP) — Two reports investigating the forcible contraception of thousands of Indigenous women and girls in Greenland by Danish health authorities for decades were split over whether the practice constituted genocide. The Greenlandic government, which commissioned the inquiry, released the reports Friday but, when pressed by journalists during a news conference, would not say whether its leaders concluded whether a genocide had occurred.

Reports split over whether forced contraception of Greenlandic women and girls constituted genocide

Fri, August 28, 2026 at 5:58 PM UTC

NUUK, Greenland (AP) — Two reports investigating the forcible contraception of thousands of Indigenous women and girls in Greenland by Danish health authorities for decades were split over whether the practice constituted genocide.

The Greenlandic government, which commissioned the inquiry, released the reports Friday but, when pressed by journalists during a news conference, would not say whether its leaders concluded whether a genocide had occurred. The government told the authors to use the definition under the United Nations' 1948 genocide convention, which includes “imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group.”

The reports come as U.S. President Donald Trump pushes to control the Arctic island, which is a self-governing territory of Denmark. The leaders of Greenland and Denmark say the island is not for sale and only Greenlanders can decide their fate.

Known as the “spiral case, " the revelations have rocked both Denmark and Greenland. More than 350 Greenlandic Indigenous women and girls, including some 12 years old and younger, previously came forward to investigators and reported that they were forcibly given contraception by Danish health authorities. Denmark says more than 4,000 women and girls — reportedly half the fertile women in Greenland at the time — received IUDs between the 1960s and mid-1970s.

The Inuit victims, many of them teenagers at the time, said they were either fitted with intrauterine contraceptive devices, known as IUDs or coils, or given a hormonal birth control injection. They were not told details about the procedure, or did not give their consent.

The alleged purpose was to limit population growth in Greenland by preventing pregnancies. The population on the Arctic island was rapidly increasing at the time because of better living conditions and better health care.

The cases occurred between the 1960s and the early 1990s. Greenland took over its own healthcare programs on Jan. 1, 1992.

The Danish government on Thursday approved payouts of 300,000 Danish kroner (about $46,500) to each victim. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen officially apologized last year.

Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said a reconciliation commission would be set up, a move that Frederiksen endorsed in a statement Friday.

Authors split findings into two reports

On Friday, the Greenlandic government only accepted the findings of one of the reports, saying that an expert found that the second — the one that definitively said a genocide had not taken place — did not meet recognized scientific standards.

“There is no empirical evidence to assume that any Danish or Greenlandic authority, or any individual healthcare professional, at any time had any intention of destroying the Greenlandic population or a significant proportion of it,” the authors of the rejected report wrote. “There was no genocide.”

The accepted report, however, did not conclude whether there was a genocide. The authors wrote that they were not able to determine if any intent to destroy the population existed solely through the forcible contraception cases, and suggested further study that encompassed other Danish practices at the time that affected Greenlandic children and families. The authors did not, unlike the other report, conclusively say a genocide did not occur.

“It is difficult to imagine circumstances in which an attempt to substantially reduce the population of a single ethnic group could not constitute an intent to destroy, in part, that ethnicity,” the report said.

The reports were originally supposed to be a single publication but two of the four members of the group broke away several months ago and wrote their own report. Theirs was the one rejected by the island's government; one of the authors is a former director of the Danish Institute for Human Rights.

“The reason given was professional disagreements amongst the members and, to some extent, concerns about the geopolitical situation,” the Greenlandic government said Friday in a news release.

The news release did not elaborate on what the two authors considered to be the geopolitical situation.

President Donald Trump is reportedly skipping the New York City ceremony commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks

The president will instead mark the anniversary at the Pentagon after officials at the New York memorial denied his request to make a speech, according to The New York Times

Vice President JD Vance is expected to attend this year’s N.Y.C. ceremony in Trump’s place

President Donald Trump is reportedly skipping the New York City ceremony commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks after officials denied his request to make a speech, according to The New York Times.

Organizers at the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum have barred politicians from speaking since 2012, according to the Times and an report from that time.

The White House did not acknowledge the Times’ reporting on the request to make a speech when reached for comment by PEOPLE on Friday, Aug. 28.

“As a proud New Yorker, President Trump has spoken about his own experiences watching the horrific events of September 11, 2001,” White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said in a statement. “On the 25th anniversary of this tragic day, the President will remember those who were killed at the hands of evil terrorists, honor their loved ones, and pay tribute to the brave first responders who put their lives on the line to rescue their fellow Americans.”

Instead of the Ground Zero ceremony, the longtime New Yorker will attend the annual commemoration at the Pentagon, as he did last year. During the 2024 election, Trump attended the New York ceremony alongside then-President Joe Biden and his campaign rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.

Vice President JD Vance is expected to attend this year’s ceremony in Manhattan, and administration officials will also be present at the Flight 93 Memorial outside Shanksville, Pa.

Former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama are expected to attend the New York event at the site of the Twin Towers, as are former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former first lady Laura Bush, and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, according to the Times.

Prior to the 25th anniversary of the deadliest attack on the United States since Pearl Harbor, Trump will be in Texas for a Republican convention ahead of November’s midterms. Then, on Sept. 12, he leaves for Ireland to attend the Irish Open at one of his golf courses.

Trump opened his remarks at the Pentagon in 2025 by memorializing Charlie Kirk, a longtime ally and political operative who was assassinated the day before during an event at a Utah college. He announced he planned to give Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously.

“This morning, we recall the light of America’s best and bravest and the love that they showed in their final moments,” Trump said of the emergency workers and everyday Americans who saved lives during the 2001 attacks. “We will honor always our great heroes, and you are our heroes. There’s a group of people that don’t want to talk about our heroes, but we will always talk about our heroes.”

Later that evening, he attended the New York Yankees game in the Bronx.

In 2012, Joe Daniels — the then-president of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum — told the AP that their decision to limit politicians’ remarks was intended to honor “the victims and their families in a way free of politics.”

Trump, who made his name and grew his businesses for decades in New York, was in the city when the Twin Towers were attacked on Sept. 11, 2001. He called into a New Jersey television station that day and claimed that one of his buildings would now be the tallest in lower Manhattan.

— sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.

Trump’s building “actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually — before the World Trade Center — was the tallest,” the future president said at the time. “And then, when they built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second-tallest. And now it’s the tallest.”

“It’s just gone and it’s just hard to believe,” he added of the World Trade Center. “The big thing that you really will have to do is never forget. You just can’t forget that something like this happened.”

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- From Saturday, Aug. 29 through Sunday, Aug. 30, Regal will celebrate the extraordinary life and lasting legacy of Tennessee native Dolly Parton with special screenings of Steel Magnolias and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas at theatres across Tennessee, supporting the literacy program she founded in her home state more than 30 years ago. The tribute will expand to Regal theatres nationwide next weekend, with 100% of proceeds from both the Tennessee and nationwide screenings benefiting Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.

The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas will screen Saturday, Aug. 29, followed by Steel Magnolias on Sunday, Aug. 30. Tickets to the Tennessee screenings will be $9.25 at 12 Regal theatres across the state. Proceeds from the Tennessee screenings will benefit Dolly Parton's Imagination Library through the Governor's Early Literacy Foundation, the program's statewide partner.

"Dolly has always had such a special connection to Tennessee, and Regal is proud to offer our guests a way to come together and celebrate the impact she's had on our state and around the world," said Vikki Neil, Head of Marketing at Regal. "As a company with our own roots in East Tennessee, bringing two of her films back to theatres while supporting the Imagination Library felt like a meaningful way to honor how she never forgot where she came from, even as her impact reached far beyond it."

Founded by Parton in 1995 in her native Sevier County, Tennessee, Dolly Parton's Imagination Library began by providing free books to local children from birth to age five, regardless of family income. Regal has long supported the Imagination Library through the Regal Foundation and is grateful for the continued opportunity to contribute to Parton's legacy. The program expanded statewide in Tennessee in 2004 and has since grown internationally, reaching children around the world. As of 2026, one in six children under age five in the United States receives a free book in the mail each month through Imagination Library.

"Dolly often said that she had been blessed far beyond anything she ever dreamed possible, and she believed deeply that those blessings came with a responsibility to give something back," said Jeff Conyers, President of The Dollywood Foundation. "That belief is woven into everything we do at The Dollywood Foundation. While we are heartbroken by her loss, the mission she gave us is as clear today as it has ever been, and we will carry it forward for generations to come."

The special screenings will be available at the following Regal theatres across Tennessee before expanding nationally next weekend:

Chattanooga Regal Hamilton Place

Clarksville Regal Clarksville

Hendersonville Regal Streets of Indian Lake

Knoxville Regal Downtown West Regal Pinnacle Regal Riviera Regal Cinebarre West Town Mall

Greater Nashville Area Regal Hollywood – Nashville Regal Green Hills Regal Opry Mills Regal Providence

Jelly Roll is setting the record straight after Jesse Watters suggested the country star has been using Ozempic to lose weight.

The 41-year-old singer, whose real name is Jason DeFord, has been filling in for Jimmy Kimmel this week as the guest host of Jimmy Kimmel Live!. During his opening monologue on Wednesday, August 26, Jelly Roll played a clip from the Fox News host’s “Trump Derangement Syndrome Tuesday” segment.

Jelly Roll denied using Ozempic after Fox News host Jesse Watters suggested he had taken the medication.JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE/YOUTUBE

“Next up to bat, Jelly Roll,” Watters said. “They should put a warning label on Ozempic. Side effects can include increased risk of TDS. If you notice signs like irritability, depression, and trouble sleeping, please see a doctor.”

‘Ozempic is The Only Drug I Haven’t Tried’

Jelly Roll said he lost weight through diet and exercise rather than GLP-1 medications.FOX NEWS

The “Need a Favor” hitmaker didn't let the comment slide. Instead, he used the moment to joke about his weight-loss journey.

“Okay, first of all Jesse, I’ll have you know Ozempic is the only drug I haven’t tried. I know it sounds unbelievable, but I lost weight the old-fashioned way: cocaine,” he joked. “No seriously, I got in shape before the GLP-1 craze started. And I’m kind of proud of the fact that I did it through diet and exercise.”

The “All My Life” singer then poked fun at himself for losing weight before the popularity of GLP-1 medications exploded.

“But I also kinda feel like a dude who bought the last horse and buggy the day before they started selling cars,” he quipped.

As OK! previously reported, Jelly Roll has repeatedly said he did not use weight-loss medication during his transformation. The singer has reportedly lost more than 200 pounds through changes to his diet and exercise routine.

Still, he has admitted that the idea of taking Ozempic crossed his mind before he ultimately decided against it.

“I just was afraid of it ...” he said on Bunnie XO's "Dumb Blonde" podcast in December 2025. “As a singer, few things scare me more than acid reflux. Like, you'll watch me get up out of a bed, I'll burp and wake up panicked and go take something for it. You know? Because that stuff will just rip the vocal cords.”

Jelly Roll Has More Goals

Jelly Roll said concerns about acid reflux and its potential effect on his vocal cords made him hesitant about Ozempic.MEGA

Despite his dramatic transformation, Jelly Roll has said he still had more work he wanted to do, as he previously explained that he remained some distance from his personal goal.

“I'm afraid to see what the scale's going to say from what my actual goal is,” he explained via YouTube. “I want to get these last 40 or 50 pounds off and then I eventually want to cut my skin and I eventually want to be on the cover of something crazy like GQ or Rolling Stone.”

His progress also hit a setback after he broke his collarbone shortly before Christmas 2025.

“That set me down where I had to quit running, quit walking, quit exercising for an extended period of time,” he added. “I said all that to say that I have, to some degree, lost my way.”
