Y’all know I love me some Dolly Parton. She’s a f-cking goddess, and nothing makes me tear up faster than “Coat of Many Colors”. Anything she says I will take as the gospel, as if God is whispering His divine messages of hope in Dolly’s ear. So you know what that means – I have to stop making fun of Miley Cyrus. That’s what Dolly told me to do! She was on The Late Show last night, and Letterman started asking her about Miley Cyrus. It turns out, Dolly has known the Cyruses for forever, and Dolly refers to herself as Miley’s “fairy godmother”. And what does Dolly think about Miley wandering around in lingerie and trying to be provocative and sexy? Dolly says: “I’m there for her if she needs me, and I get upset lately, they’ve been hammering her to death, and she’s been trying hard to make the transition from Hannah Montana — she’s 17, and at that age … I know how I was at 17, so let’s leave Miley alone!” F-ck. I have to do what Dolly says. The video is here.
Country music legend Dolly Parton — appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman Tuesday night – said it’s time to leave Miley Cyrus alone, as the Hannah Montana star continues to take jabs in the media for her sexed-up image while promoting her new album, Can’t Be Tamed.
Parton, who said she’s Miley’s unofficial “fairy Godmother” told Letterman: “I’m there for her if she needs me, and I get upset lately, they’ve been hammering her to death, and she’s been trying hard to make the transition from Hannah Montana — she’s 17, and at that age … I know how I was at 17, so let’s leave Miley alone!”
Letterman said in response, “I think she’ll be alright because she’s very smart … I didn’t realize how smart that kid is.”
Cyrus appeared on Letterman earlier this month and addressed the controversy, saying, “I’m still a kid and I still do kid things. Anyone who says, ‘She’s growing too quickly,’ doesn’t know me personally.”

Apparently Miley came to Dollywood to film a special for the 25th anniversary of the theme park, and they did a duet of Dolly’s hit “Jolene”. I found this video from E! News, and can I just say? Miley doesn’t sound horrible when she’s covering one of Dolly’s beautiful songs. Too bad she wants to be a trashy pop artist rather than a bluesy country singer.
