Dolly Parton hints Cowboy Carter tour appearance
Dolly Parton says she could show up to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour.
The 79-year-old country music legend was "very honoured" when the Single Ladies hitmaker, 43, remade her 1973 classic - but with a "twist" where she warns Jolene to stay clear of her man.
Asked if she can be expected at one of the shows on the mammoth stadium tour, Dolly told the HuffPost: "You never know ― anything is possible! Because she really is doing great with that (tour)."
On being "very amused" by Beyoncé's take on Jolene, she added: "I was very honoured that she wanted to do her version of Jolene.
"That's all a great compliment to me, when somebody wants to do my songs in any version.
"I was very amused by her take on that, and I got a big kick out of that.
"She's not gonna sit back and say, 'Oh please don't take my man.' She's gonna kick some ass!"
Beyoncé kicked off her Cowboy Carter Tour by raking in a record-setting $55.7 million gross.
The Crazy In Love hitmaker finished a run of five gigs at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on May 9, and pulled in well over $50 million with 217,000 tickets sold.
As reported by Rolling Stone magazine, the Los Angeles run was the "biggest reported single-venue engagement" of the year so far.
It was also the fifth-highest grossing tour stop in Boxscore history, beaten only by U2 at the Sphere in Las Vegas across 2023 and 2024, Harry Styles at New York's Madison Square Garden in 2022, and Take That's Wembley Stadium run in 2011.
What's more, it also marked the highest-grossing single-venue engagement in history by a female artist.
Beyoncé started her tour on April 28 and returned to the venue on May 1, 4, 7 and 9, pulling in an average of $11.1 million per night with over 43,000 fans in attendance for each show.
With three performances as SoFi in 2023, her eight gigs in total was more than any other artist in the venue's five-year history.
On the opening night of the SoFi run, the Grammy Award-winner was joined onstage by her daughters Blue Ivy Carter and Rumi Carter.
Blue Ivy, 13, danced with her famous mother during her performance of America Has A Problem.
Later on, it was time for Beyoncé and Jay-Z's seven-year-old, Rumi Carter, to make her onstage debut.
As Beyoncé belted out the moving ballad Protector, Rumi and her big sister stood with her under the spotlight.
Following the performance, pictures of Beyoncé and her three children - also including Rumi's twin brother Sir - appeared on a big screen behind her.

Dolly Parton returning to Las Vegas Strip for first residency in 32 years
Dolly Parton is returning to Las Vegas for her first residency in more than three decades. The country music legend will bring Dolly: Live in Las Vegas to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for a limited six-night run between December 4 to 13, during National Finals Rodeo. Dolly will deliver a 'a hit-driven concert event bringing global superstar Dolly Parton back to Vegas for her first extended run in 32 years. Weaving together seven decades of classic hits and fan favorites including 9 to 5, Jolene, I Will Always Love You, Coat of Many Colors' and many more, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see one of the world's most beloved entertainers at the peak of her success.' The 79-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer said: 'To say I'm excited would be an understatement. "I haven't worked Vegas in years, and I've always loved singing there. I'm looking so forward to the shows in The Colosseum at Caesars and I hope you are as well. See you there!' Tickets go on sale at 10am PT on Wednesday (25.06.26). Meanwhile, Dolly - who released the rock record Rockstar in 2024 - has just teamed up with Mötley Crüe on a re-imagined version of their hit Home Sweet Home. The power ballad was originally released on the 1985 album Theatre of Pain, and again in 1991 for the Decade of Decadence 81-91 compilation album, and the new cut marks the 40th anniversary of its release. The duet features on the upcoming From The Beginning singles collection, which is set for release on September 12, 2025, the same day the Crüe will kick off their 10-show residency at Las Vegas' Dolby Live at Park MGM. Dolly said: "It was an honour and a joy working in the studio on Mötley Crüe's 40th Anniversary re-release of 'Home Sweet Home'. I was so pleased that they would ask me to sing on such a classic.' A portion of the proceeds from the single will benefit Covenant House, a non-profit providing safe shelter, meals, hope and more to help youth experiencing homelessness.

Alex Garland pitched a 28 Years Later 'completely in Mandarin'
Alex Garland's original pitch for 28 Years Later had the film "completely in Mandarin". The 55-year-old writer-and-director has teamed up with Danny Boyle for the third installment of the horror franchise, and he's admitted the screenplay he started working on following the COVID-19 pandemic was "completely and utterly generic", but with a "punk" twist. Alex told Rolling Stone magazine: "Yeah, it was completely and utterly f****** generic. "There's always been something slightly punk about 28 Days Later…, which I think stems from my age, Danny's age, and where we grew up. "The idea was that a group of military commandos would break quarantine and try to get to the place where the virus had originated, in order to find a cure. When they got there, they found another group that had got there first, and who were trying to weaponise the virus. "The punk element was that the commandos would be Chinese Special Forces, and the film would be completely in Mandarin and subtitled, and just sort of be f****** with people in various ways.' The film would have seen major action sequences, including shootouts and mass attacks, which Alex could "think of a bunch of filmmakers who could have effectively picked it up and run with it.' However, his concern the plot was predictable and not quite right was confirmed when he turned the script over to Danny. Alex recalled: "Danny, in effect, said to me: 'Alex, are you kidding?' 'He didn't come out with it quite that bluntly. Or maybe he did. But he very nicely kept trying to make it work, suggesting 'what if we did this, what if we did that?' Finally, we both gave up on it." However, the early idea had one advantage because it gave the pair a sense of freedom that allowed them to have a "totally blank slate" for the third film in the franchise. Alex added: "But oddly enough, writing something so generic was the freeing element to all of our problems. It gave us permission to have a totally blank slate. "And it coincided with me not wanting to direct anything for a bit. I was very much into the idea of writing something for somebody else."

Jay-Z makes surprise appearance at Beyonce concert
Jay-Z made a surprise appearance during Beyoncé's concert in Paris on Sunday (22.06.25) night. The 43-year-old singer welcomed her husband onto the stage at Stade de France during her third Cowboy Carter Tour show in the city, and the couple sang Crazy in Love together for the first time in more than six years. Fan footage circulating online, including a clip by Cardi B, who was in the audience, showed Beyoncé stepping aside during Crazy in Love as Jay made a sudden appearance on stage to rap his verse. In addition, Jay also joined his wife for a version of 2013's Drunk in Love, remixed with Partition, and his own N***** in Paris, which was originally a collaboration with Kanye West. The last time the couple performed together was at the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 in Johannesburg, South Africa, in December 2018. The duet marked the first time Beyoncé has performed Drunk in Love on her Cowboy Carter Tour, and her Paris shows also saw another new addition to the setlist. On 19 June, Miley Cyrus was a surprise guest and she joined the former Destiny's Child singer on the live debut of their ballad 'II Most Wanted'. Before Miley shot up from under the stage, Beyoncé gushed: 'I'm so excited because I wanted to do something very special for you guys. 'I could not do it without this young lady's help, so I want you to scream as loud as you can. I wan't y'all for this icon. 'I'm your biggest fan. I'm so grateful to watch you, to sing with you, Miss Miley Cyrus.' It marked the first time the pair had performed the song together live. Miley penned the song andpreviously admitted it was a "dream come true" to record it with the Texas Hold 'Em hitmaker. She told W Magazine: 'I wrote that song, like, two and a half years ago. My mom would always go, 'I love that song so much.' So when Beyoncé reached out to me about music, I thought of it right away because it really encompasses our relationship. 'I told [Beyoncé], 'We don't have to get country; we are country. We've been country.' I said, 'You know, between you being from Texas and me being from Tennessee, so much of us is going to be in this song.' Getting to write a song, not just sing, for Beyoncé was a dream come true.''
