Dolly Parton Shares Bittersweet Update After Having To Cancel Vegas Residency Due To Health Issues
Now, Parton has made the tough decision to officially cancel her Las Vegas residency due to her persistent health issues and her need to address them further.
With her usual bubbly personality, Parton explained:
"I am here to give you an update on a few things going on in my life, [and] it's concerning my health."
"I have some good news and a little bad news."
“The good news is I’m responding really well to meds and treatments, and I’m improving every day."
“Now, the bad news is that it’s gonna take me a little while before I’m up to stage-performance-level because some of the meds and treatments make me a little swimmy-headed, as my grandma used to say.”
"And of course, I can't be dizzy, carrying around banjos, guitars, and such, on five-inch heels, and you know that I'm going to be wearing them!"
For the rest of the announcement, Parton referred to herself as a classic car that needed to—but could!—be fixed.
"Just think of me as, like, an old classic car that, once restored, can be better than ever."
"When they raised the hood on this old antique, they realized that I need to rebuild my engine, and that my transmission is slipping."
"My oil pan is leaking, and my muffler's busted."
"My shocks and pistons need to be replaced."
"And for sure, my spark plugs need to be changed, because you know as well as I know that I can't lose my spark!"
"But seriously, my immune system and my digestive system got all out of whack over the past couple or three years, and they're working real hard on rebuilding and strengthening those."
You can watch the video announcement here:
After Parton's husband, Carl, passed away on March 3, 2025, Parton realized that she'd been dedicating most of her time to Carl's care and comfort, in addition to promoting her business, and had let her own health slide.
When she finally took the time to see the doctor for what she thought would be a routine check-up, they discovered multiple concerns that needed to be addressed, and while everything is treatable, it's enough of a concern for her to step down from the stage for a little while.
Fellow Instagrammers encouraged Parton to take her time and prioritize her health and happiness.

Parton seems confident about her health plan and the fact that she is responding well to various medications and treatments.
The singer fully expects to continue making videos and appearances at Dollywood and on Broadway in New York for the time being, and she expects to return to the stage once her health has been returned to standard maintenance mode!

Trump Just Tried To Impress Some Kids With His Putting Skills At A White House Physical Fitness Event—And It Went Hilariously Awry
During the signing, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared the test is being made mandatory for students at 161 schools located on U.S. military installations.
Hegseth, who has been mocked for his fitness form during workout videos he posted, said:
"We need young, strong, healthy Americans, whether you serve in the military or any other aspect of your life. The idea that competition is bad is the beginning of decline of a nation."
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unironically declared:
"We need to teach people how to win and how to lose and how to process victory and defeat."
Apparently RFK Jr. wasn't listening every time Trump and his sycophants and acolytes whined and lied about his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election or every time Trump lied and said he won in a landslide in 2024.
When Trump spoke, things got a bit weirder—and creepier. People were probably grateful the POTUS didn't start talking about Arnold Palmer again.

You can see some clips from the event here:
After Trump ranted about transgender "mutilization" and asked a child if he could take him in a fight, the entire cast of characters took to the White House lawn where various sports activities were lined up.
As some of Trump's favorite songs, like the Village People's "YMCA" and Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" blared in the background, Trump took a group, which included legendary 90-year-old South African golfer Gary Player and American LIV player Bryson DeChambeau and children of varying ages, to a putting demonstration.
Trump, who has spent more time playing golf than any other President and who reportedly owns 16 golf courses, grabbed a putter to show the kids how to sink golf balls six feet from the hole.
Then he whiffed three times before giving up.
You can see the moment here:
Given that, as of early May 2026, the estimated total taxpayer cost for Trump’s golf trips across both his first presidency (2017–2021) and his second (January 2025–present) has been calculated at $250 million to $300 million, righteous mockery soon followed.

Trump has claimed to be a scratch golfer or better, sometimes bragging about a handicap of 3 or below, while his official handicap according to the Golf Handicap Information Network (GHIN) is 2.8.
But the POTUS has been caught cheating multiple times and was reportedly nicknamed "Pele" after the legendary Brazilian football (soccer) star by caddies for kicking the ball to get it into a more advantageous position.
Chuck Schumer Claps Back Hard After White House Shades Him With Racist Cinco De Mayo Meme
The White House, via its official X account, included the following caption:
"Happy Cinco de Mayo to all who celebrate!"
You can see the post and the image below.

Schumer responded with an image of Trump and his longtime friend Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.
Schumer's post referenced the fact that Trump has not released the Epstein files in full despite campaigning on that promise and has done everything he can to distance himself from the scandal despite the fact his own name appears in the files more than 38,000 times.
The image, doctored to depict the two men wearing sombreros, was accompanied by the following caption:
"Happy Cinco de Mayo, @WhiteHouse!"

Others joined Schumer in calling out the White House.
The racist post comes months after the White House shared an image of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance wearing crowns, juxtaposed against an image of Schumer and Jeffries in sombreros.
That post itself was a reference to an AI-generated video Trump shared after a September 2025 meeting with Jeffries and Schumer in a failed attempt to prevent a government shutdown. That video features Jeffries in a sombrero and Schumer calling Democrats "woke pieces of sh*t."
The video, presented to the tune of the “Mexican Hat Dance,” was Trump's response to failed negotiations regarding Democrats' rejection of the Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open without considering an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.
The impasse culminated in a 43-day government shutdown, the longest in government history. Since January, there have been two partial shutdowns, one impacting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that ended after 76 days.
