Just when we thought we couldn't love Dolly Parton any more, a new nugget of information comes along and our hearts nearly explode.

Rumors have swirled for a while that country icon and possible real-life angel Parton was a secret producer on the hit '90s and early 2000s series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

According to the vampire slayer herself the rumor is true.

Buffy star Sarah Michelle Gellar recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. When asked by Fallon, Gellar confirmed the Jolene singer quietly led the show to be the massive success it was.

The Wolf Pack star revealed to Fallon:

"Little known fact, the legend Dolly Parton was a producer."
"And you know, we never saw her. We'd get Christmas gifts in the beginning that would have our name and I would think, 'She doesn't know who I am'."

But then came the gift of a lifetime for Gellar:

"And then one day somebody asked her about it and she complimented the show and my performance. And I was like, 'Oh, I can die now. Dolly Parton knows who I am and thinks I'm good'."
"Her partner was Sandy Gallin and they produced Buffy."

You can watch the full interview below.

Fans learning of the Steel Magnolias star's part in the Buffy series expressed their surprise as well as their whole-hearted delight.







We can just add Parton's uncredited producing to the long list of reasons to adore her.

Reasons like donating $1 million to vaccine research at the height of the pandemic, giving free books to children through her Imagination Library, paying for college tuition for Dollywood employees through Grow U and even paying for choir and band uniforms and instruments for students at predominately Black schools.

This doesn't even scratch the surface, but we'll stop because we could go on and on about our national treasure for days.

CNN Just Used A Hilarious Poll To Show Just How Unpopular Trump's Ballroom Is—And We're Cackling

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

Woman In Labor Times How Long Her Husband Takes To Poop To See If She Can Push Their Baby Out Faster In Hilarious Viral Video

It's well-known across the internet that it takes forever for men to use the restroom. For dads especially, in the time it takes them to poop, when they return to the house, their kids will have aged seven years, and their baby will have learned to walk.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
