Mötley Crüe recruit Dolly Parton for new version of Home Sweet Home
Mötley Crüe have released a new version of Home Sweet Home with Dolly Parton.
The rock legends have joined forces with none other than country music icon Dolly on a 40th anniversary version of the power ballad originally released on the 1985 album Theatre of Pain, and again in 1991 for the Decade of Decadence 81-91 compilation album.
Another country star, Carrie Underwood, released a cover of Home Sweet Home in 2009.
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.
A new music video will also drop at 5pm BST.
The song is part of the From The Beginning singles collection 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.
Mötley Crüe - comprising Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx and John 5 - commented: "Home Sweet Home was first released in 1985 as a single from our Theatre Of Pain album. For an icon like Dolly Parton to sing on a song that has not only meant so much to us but to all the fans through the years, is a career high that means a lot to us. We couldn't be happier to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Home Sweet Home in this special way, and we're excited to share this version of the song with all the Dolly and Mötley fans around the world.'
On the special cause, they added: 'That we were able to unite with Dolly to raise awareness for homeless youth and the amazing work of Covenant House, which provides them safe housing and care, makes it even more special. We hope you'll enjoy Home Sweet Home featuring Dolly Parton as much as Dolly and we enjoyed creating it.'
Dolly added: '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.'
From The Beginning spans four decades of Crüe anthems, from the global single and MTV video Live Wire, all the way through to 2024's Top 5 Rock smash Dogs Of War. Plus, fan-favourites Kickstart My Heart, Dr. Feelgood, Girls, Girls, Girls, Shout at the Devil, Smokin' In The Boys Room, Wild Side and many more.

'Going back to my roots': Aussie supermodel Jess Hart says she wants to raise her children, Baby-Rae and Glorious, in Ballarat after decades overseas
Australian supermodel Jess Hart has revealed she plans to return home and raise her children in Australia, after spending more than two decades living abroad. The 39-year-old, who was born in Sydney and raised in Melbourne, has lived overseas since she was a teenager, first moving to Paris at age 15 to pursue her modelling career after winning Dolly magazine's Model Search in 2000. Hart's career took off quickly, with high-profile campaigns for brands including Victoria's Secret, Guess, L'Oréal, Louis Vuitton and Max Mara. She's graced the pages of Vogue and Sports Illustrated, and called cities like London, New York and Los Angeles home. But now, with four-year-old daughter Baby-Rae, three-year-old son Glorious, and 11-year-old stepdaughter Wren in tow, Hart says she's preparing to lay down roots back in Victoria. "I want my children to be half-Australian and half-American- not just Americans with Australian passports," she told Harper's Bazaar. "I want them to be immersed in Australian culture and grow up the way we did." The supermodel, known for her cheeky gap-toothed grin, is reportedly eyeing a permanent base near Ballarat in regional Victoria- the same area where her late mother Rae's family once lived. Rae tragically died in January 2023 after a battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disorder formerly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. "It would make my mum so happy," Hart said. "[The region is] where her family had homes. I'm going back to my roots, my heritage." She also revealed she's currently exploring schooling options that would allow the family to split their time between both countries. While it's unclear whether Hart and her longtime partner, American NASCAR driver James Kirkham, are still together, she's made no secret of her desire to reconnect with Australia. In September, Hart starred in a Qantas campaign alongside First Nations model Charlee Fraser, with creative direction from Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin. When asked what she misses most about home, Hart quickly responded: "My friends and family." More recently, the supermodel shared a string of sweet snaps from her trip back to Australia on Instagram, including time spent at Sydney's Crown with her children. "Three little monkeys…. Just busy creating winter memories in Australia," she captioned the post. She also made an appearance at Australian Fashion Week in May, opening the Bianca Spender show to the delight of fashion insiders.

Tom Cruise and Dolly Parton to receive honorary Oscars
Tom Cruise is to receive an honorary Oscar. The 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' actor - who has never won an Academy Award but was nominated for his performances in Born on the Fourth of July, Magnolia and Rain Man, and for producing Top Gun: Maverick -is one of four people who will be honoured at the Governors Awards in November. Singer Dolly Parton, choreographer, actor and director Debbie Allen and production designer Wynn Thomas, will also receive the special Oscars, which are given 'to honour extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of motion picture arts and sciences in any discipline, or for outstanding service to the Academy'. Academy president Janet Yang hailed the quartet as "legendary individuals" who have made a "lasting impact". She said in a statement: 'This year's Governors Awards will celebrate four legendary individuals whose extraordinary careers and commitment to our filmmaking community continue to leave a lasting impact. 'The Academy's Board of Governors is honoured to recognise these brilliant artists. "Debbie Allen is a trailblazing choreographer and actor, whose work has captivated generations and crossed genres. Tom Cruise's incredible commitment to our filmmaking community, to the theatrical experience, and to the stunts community has inspired us all. Beloved performer Dolly Parton exemplifies the spirit of the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award through her unwavering dedication to charitable efforts. And production designer Wynn Thomas has brought some of the most enduring films to life through a visionary eye and mastery of his craft.' Dolly - who was previously nominated for the Best Original Song Oscar for both 9 to 5 and Transamerica - will following in the footsteps of the likes of Angelina Jolie, Tyler Perry and Michael J. Fox in receiving the Jean Hersholt humanitarian award to recognise how she has brought 'credit to the industry by promoting human welfare and contributing to rectifying inequities'. Last year, Governors Awards were given to casting director Juliet Taylor and posthumously to Quincy Jones, with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award given to writer-and-director Richard Curtis. In addition, the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award was given to James Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. Both the Jean Hersholt and Irving G. Thalberg awards are not always given out and are dependent on the vote of the Board of Governors.
