Dolly Parton Returns To No. 1 As She Prepares For A Busy End Of 2025
Even at the age of 79, Dolly Parton is still working as hard as ever. The country legend is set to spend the latter part of 2025 performing at her Las Vegas residency and accepting an honorary Academy Award. She released several new tunes this year, including one just a few months back, "If You Hadn't Been There," as a tribute to her husband Carl Dean after he passed away. The singer-songwriter is once again climbing charts in the United Kingdom, where she remains not just a country genre favorite, but a superstar musician beloved by millions. Every single one of Parton's albums is on the rise this frame, and she even manages to dominate one tally she's come to know very well throughout the years. Dolly Parton Returns to No. 1 Parton returns to No. 1 on the Official Country Compilations chart. Her The Very Best Of full-length jumps from No. 2 to first place. Last week's ruler, Greatest Hits by Josh Turner, dips to the runner-up spot, trading places with Parton. 80 Weeks at No. 1 The Very Best Of has now spent 372 weeks on the list of the biggest country compilations in the U.K. As it returns to No. 1, it snags its milestone eightieth turn in the spotlight. The set launched at No. 1 in the spring of 2007 and ruled for months at a time before finally stepping aside, though it has also spent much of this year sitting at either No. 1 or No. 2. Dolly Parton's Three Rising Bestsellers Parton fills three spaces on the Official Country Compilations ranking this frame. As The Very Best Of brings her back to the throne, Diamonds & Rhinestones – Greatest Hits improves from No. 8 to No. 7, while Smoky Mountain DNA: Family, Faith and Fables — which is credited to Dolly Parton and Family, as many of her family members performed on the effort — improves its standing by three spaces and settles at No. 11.

Bunnie Xo Has Painful Reaction to Jelly Roll's 200-Pound Weight Loss
Originally appeared on E! Online Jelly Roll almost had his filling squeezed out. Thanks to some playful fun from his wife Bunnie Xo, the 'Son of a Sinner' singer was the recipient of two body slams that caught him off guard. Referencing Jelly's 200-pound weight loss over the past two years, Bunnie (real name Alyssa DeFord) wrote atop an Aug. 15 TikTok video, 'When you have to check and make sure he's still your squish after all the weight loss.' The clip showed Jelly Roll (real name Bradley DeFord) leaning against a rock wall as the Dumb Blonde podcast host—with whom he tied the knot in 2016—stood in front of him. Seemingly out of nowhere, she leaned lunged forward and slammed her chest against his, prompting a look of surprise and a 'Whoa' from Jelly Roll before he playfully taunted her to do it again. After the second slam, Jelly Roll feigned a look of pain before pulling Bunnie—who is stepmom to his kids Bailee Ann, 17, and Noah Buddy, 8, from previous relationships—into a kiss and hug while placing his hands on her behind and giving it a squeeze.

Earlier this month, he gave an update on his weight loss progress while giving a motivational speech to the Tennessee Titans football team. 'I can't get on the field but goddamn it I'm close. I lost 200 pounds,' he told the NFL players in an Aug. 6 video. 'I told coach I'm getting a contract if I lose another 50." In fact, Jelly Roll—who started at 540 pounds—has been adamant about reaching his goal weight for other reasons, too. "To do all the fun stuff in life, you've gotta be under 250," he said during an April appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, explaining that he hopes to go skydiving, ride rollercoasters, go bullriding and wrestle an alligator. "I've got a list of things I want to do." Read on for a look through Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo's cutest moments as a couple.

Finesse2Tymes Reacts to 50 Cent's Unsolicited Advice to Call His Estranged Mom
Finesse2Tymes shut down 50 Cent's recommendation that the Memphis rapper call his mom amid their public fallout. Last week, Finesse's mother, Pluria Alexander, launched a GoFundMe campaign for moving expenses after claiming to be threatened with eviction. Alexander alleges that the Memphis rapper, real name Ricky Hampton, has financially cut her off, and she now faces homelessness. As Alexander has continued to demand financial help from Finesse on social media, on Tuesday (August 12), Fifty weighed in on Instagram. "Hey Finesse you look like yo momma man just call her," the G-Unit frontman wrote, per The Shade Room. "I said what the f**ksdo you do when that happens, nothing look at her and say you want some of this money or not." COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess. The "Back End" rapper responded on his Instagram Story by telling Fif to patch things up with his eldest son, Marquise Jackson. Finesse also changed his Instagram profile picture to an image of Eminem as B-Rabbit in his 2002 film 8 Mile. In a freestyle video posted on Instagram over the weekend, Finesse rapped about "family problems" making him feel similar to the 15-time Grammy winner. As depicted in Em's older songs like "Cleanin' Out My Closet" and "Mockingbird," and fictionalized in 8 Mile, the Detroit native and his now-deceased mother had a volatile relationship. Fifty's relationship with his eldest son is just as rocky, as the two have publicly feuded over financial entitlement and the rapper allegedly being an absentee parent. On Father's Day, Jackson joked on Instagram about the likelihood of his father acknowledging him by posting a mock sports betting chart. "Oh it's Father's Day 😳. Happy Father's Day to all the real ones! I'm watching my bet and it ain't looking too good 🤦🏾♂️ I got the over… We all know this the day for photo ops, the 28-year-old captioned the post.
