Dolly has plenty of things going on and we couldn't be more excited.

At 70, country icon Dolly Parton seems to have the energy of someone half her age. With all of her achievements, which include selling 100 million records, winning seven Grammys, bedazzling Hollywood producers, and establishing herself as a keen businesswoman and entrepreneur, she wouldn’t be blamed for slowing down a bit. But, Dolly isn’t skipping a beat. We checked in to find out what she’s been up to lately and what’s on the horizon for the beloved crooner and mogul.

Q: You just renewed your wedding vows with your husband, Carl Dean, in late May. Why did you want to do that?
A: Well, we’ve been married fifty years, and we just thought, “Fifty years is a long time.” We’re real proud of that, especially in this business, and we thought it would be a sweet thing to do. I’d always wanted to have a beautiful wedding gown and a veil, but I never got to do it the first time. My mom made me a little white dress and put it together with a white Bible and a little bouquet, and she went with us when we went down to Ringgold, Georgia [to get married] in ’66. So anyhow, I thought, “Well, we’ll just dress up this time, and I can have my beautiful dress and a beautiful wedding album.” We did the whole bit at our little chapel on our place. Then we went to Ringgold and had our honeymoon there, and came back to the lake and had a few days off.

Q: Right after that, you released your love album, Pure & Simple,which debuted at number one on your own Dolly Records.
A: Well, I’m very excited about Pure & Simple. I wrote all the songs, and arranged and produced the album, with my guys, Richard Dennison, and Tom Rutledge, and Kent Wells pitching in to help whatever they needed to. And it’s a love of many colors album (chuckle), with all the different emotions. I’m really proud of that. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a number one album in the charts. [Eagle When She Flies, 1991.] It always feels good to be number one, and to still be in the game, especially at this age. (Laugh)

Q: You’re also touring into December. Do you have a pre-performance ritual?
A: (Chuckle) Yeah, I actually do. I always pray that God will let me touch people, to uplift them and glorify Him, and to really have a good time myself. Somebody asked me not too long ago what my ritual was, and I said, “Well, I pray and pee and go to work.” (Laugh) And that’s what I do.

Q: So much has happened for you this year. For example, The Complete Trio Collection, all the recordings you made with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, was released in September. Those recordings are especially precious now that Linda has lost her voice to Parkinson’s disease.
A: The work I did with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris is one of the things I’m proudest of. We had two big hit records, Trio, and then Trio II. And they remastered and reworked those two albums, and we had something like 20 songs left in the can, meaning that didn’t come out. And so now we’ve put that all together, and I’m really proud that people who love that music will have everything.

Q: You have accomplished so much. What are some other of your favorite projects?
A: I’m proud of everything I’ve ever accomplished. I’m especially proud to be in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. That’s probably one of my favorite things. I’m very proud that I’ve left some songs in this world that have touched people, like the “Coat of Many Colors.” That little franchise will probably go on and on. We just did a book on “Coat…,” coming out October 18. All the money from that is going to go to [her childhood literacy program] the Imagination Library. Years ago, we had a little “Coat of Many Colors” book, and it did really well, so we reworked it with new illustrations. It’s just the gift that keeps on giving, that little “Coat of Many Colors.” We may even do a series of it, “Life of Many Colors.”

Q: In your DreamMore Resort, there is a chestnut box, a time capsule to be opened on your 100th birthday. [January 19, 2046.] It contains a song titled “My Place in History.” What do you think your place in history is?
A: Well, we’ll see. I’m still working on that. I’m still living it! But yes, I really did write that song to be played then. I put it on a CD, and put a CD player in there, with instructions on how to use it. Because Lord knows what they’ll have to play music on in thirty years. But I hope that I’m remembered by a lot of good things that I might have done. I’m very proud of the Imagination Library, for example. I’ve done plenty bad, I’m sure, but I hope they’ll just shove out the chaff and keep the wheat. I just hope that I’ll be remembered well.

Elizabeth Warren Isn't Happy With the Department of Education

Over how it’s handling loan debts of former Corinthian Colleges students.

After telling Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf that he’d exhibited “gutless leadership” and noting that the business models of gig economy companies like Uber and Lyft are “dependent on extremely low wages,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has turned her critical gaze on new quarry: debt collectors working for the U.S. Department of Education.

In a letter published Thursday, Warren says that an investigation conducted by her staff has shown that loan servicers and debt collectors working for the Education Department’s student loan bank were continuing to actively collect debt from students who had attended Corinthian Colleges even though the Department knew that debt might be eligible for forgiveness because the students had been defrauded.

Corinthian is the huge for-profit college chain that shut down in April 2015 in the midst of a $1.1 billion fine and multiple lawsuits over its lending practices and inflated job placement rates. In March, the Department of Education announced that it had made findings of fraud at more than 100 Corinthian campuses and that it had set up an online system whereby students at 91 of them could apply for debt relief.

In her letter, Warren wrote:

For over a year now, while the Department’s student loan bank has talked extensively about helping former Corinthian students and has encouraged many of them to apply for loan discharges, only a tiny fraction of former Corinthian students—around 4,000—have actually received relief under the “borrower defense” discharge program.

According to Warren, her investigation found that “nearly 80,000 former Corinthian students are currently in some form of debt collection as the direct result of actions by the Department’s student loan bank.”

This did not sit well with Warren, who has built her reputation on standing up to corporations and government agencies in the name of fairness to consumers, first as a special advisor for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and then as a senator. In the spirit of her “gutless leadership” comment aimed at Wells Fargo’s CEO Stumpf, she wrote:

It is unconscionable that instead of helping these borrowers, vast numbers of Corinthian victims are currently being hounded by the Department’s debt collectors—many having their credit slammed, their tax refunds seized, their Social Security and Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) payments reduced, or their wages garnished—all to pay fraudulent debts that, under federal law and the Department’s own policies, are likely eligible for discharge and thus, invalid.

According to Warren, the problem is that the Department makes students apply individually to have their debt cancelled—or, in her words, to go through a “complex, resource intensive, unnecessary and baffling scheme”—instead of creating a system that automatically discharged the debt of all students the Department knew had been victims of Corinthian’s fraud.

Warren says her staff’s investigation turned up 79,717 former Corinthian students who are eligible to apply for debt relief but are in some form of debt collection with the Department of Education. Of those, over 30,000 are having tax refunds and other government payments seized, and more than 4,000 are having their wages garnished.

On the other side, the Department has received 22,185 debt cancellation applications from former Corinthian students, and approved debt cancellations for 3,787.

In response to Warren’s letter, Department of Education Undersecretary Ted Mitchell said that the agency would make more efforts to inform indebted former Corinthian students about their options, Bloomberg reports, while Education Secretary John King Jr.said, “We believe part of what is required is for students to attest they actually were defrauded by their institution.”

That will undoubtedly not be enough for Warren. In her letter, she asks for a written response and briefing no later than Oct. 14.

In an earlier interview, Trump’s campaign manager said he had spent money in Cuba.

Donald Trump’s campaign manager on Thursday denied that the Republican nominee’s company had invested in Cuba during the U.S. embargo against the country, while Hillary Clinton and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio both voiced concerns about the allegations, which were raised in aNewsweek story published Thursday.

Newsweek, citing documents and anonymous sources, reported that Trump’s company spent $68,000 in Cuba with his knowledge in 1998, making the payment indirectly through a consulting firm that linked the travel to charity. At the time, an embargo prohibited Americans and American companies from spending money in Cuba.

“I think they paid money, as I understand from the story, they paid money in 1998. And we’re not supposed to talk about years ago when it comes to the Clintons, but with Trump, there is no statute of limitations?” Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said Thursday in an interview on The View, while still insisting that Trump made no investments.

“So the question is: Did he spend money? He’s very critical of Cuba, he’s very critical of Castro, and he’s been critical—he gave a speech the very next year to the Cuban American National Foundation in Miami critical of those who want to do business with Castro,” Conway said. “And he’s talked about the Cuban embargo even on this trail, but again, we’re talking about did his hotel invest money in 1998 in Cuba: No.”

In a tweet

on Thursday night, Conway more firmly denied the allegations, saying Trump respected the embargo and did no business in Cuba.

“The article makes some very serious and troubling allegations,” Rubio, a Cuban-American, said in a statement,according to the Miami Herald. “I will reserve judgment until we know all the facts and Donald has been given the opportunity to respond.”

The accusations could prove problematic for Trump in the swing state of Florida, where there is a large Cuban-American population.

“Trump’s business with Cuba appears to have broken the law, flouted U.S. foreign policy, and is in complete contradiction to Trump’s own repeated, public statements that he had been offered opportunities to invest in Cuba but passed them up,” Jake Sullivan, a senior adviser for Clinton, said in a statement Thursday. “This latest report shows once again that Trump will always put his own business interest ahead of the national interest – and has no trouble lying about it.”

A deadly commuter train crash in Hoboken station in New Jersey renews focus on a mandatory anti-collision system that has been plagued with lengthy, contentious delays.

NJ Transit is supposed to have system in place by end of 2018.

A deadly commuter train crash in Hoboken station in New Jersey renews focus on a mandatory anti-collision system that has been plagued with lengthy, contentious delays.

Officials said train operator NJ Transit has not installed the positive train control (PTC) system in Hoboken or anywhere else on its network.

PTC works by hitting the brakes on a train if the engineer misses a signal to halt—the equivalent of running a red light. How long it takes a train to stop depends on its weight. Freight trains can take up to 2 miles to stop. The system combines GPS, wireless radio, and other technologies, making it far more complex than originally envisioned and requires more investment and time to make it work, according to railroad companies.

By law, NJ Transit is required to have a system in place by the end of 2018. Amtrak has rolled out PTC on its network, while the freight railroads have mostly been rolling out the technology a section of track at a time.

Thursday morning’s rush-hour crash killed at least one person and injured 108 others.

National Transportation Safety Board vice chair T. Bella Dinh-Zarr said at a news conference in Washington that the board would “absolutely” look at whether the lack of PTC was a factor.

“PTC has been one of our priorities,” she said. “We know that it can prevent accidents.”

It is unclear how fast the train in Hoboken was traveling or whether a PTC system would have prevented an accident

5 Obvious Signs You’re With The Wrong Person

Alejandra Quiroz

As if finding the right one isn’t already hard enough, here I am telling you that after you’ve finally found someone they may not be the right person for you. I’m such an assh*le. It’s honest though. The best advice is usually like a shot of whiskey—a little hard to swallow, but always good to the soul. Here are 5 obvious signs you’re with the wrong person. Let’s get into it.

1. You compare them to your ex.

You shouldn’t even be in a new relationship if you haven’t had closure from your past relationship(s). If you are comparing the things your current partner does or doesn’t do with that of your ex, you’re definitely not with the right pex.

erson. In fact, that’s a huge sign that you’re not even over your 2. You have a long list of improvements for them.

I called off my engagement because an older man asked me one simple question- “If he never changed, would you still want to spend the rest of your life with him?” The truth of the matter was if he didn’t make the changes that I wanted him to make, he wouldn’t ever be good enough for me. Most people won’t admit this, but for a long time I only dated men I needed to ‘fix’. It never saw that as a bad thing. I liked projects, not realizing that those relationships failed effortlessly every single time.

3. You don’t feel the need to improve yourself.

As I said before, I liked projects. They made me feel good about myself. Don’t get me wrong—I’m an amazing girlfriend, but we can all do a little better in some area. I never felt like I needed to improve myself, only the man I was with at the time. When I met my current partner, he put such a driving force in me to be better in just about every area of my life. He didn’t verbally tell me I needed to improve anything either. He was just that good to me that I wanted to be better for him. That’s the way it should be.

4. Your close friends and family don’t like them.

Period, point blank. No, you don’t need to take everyone’s opinion about him to heart. Some people won’t like them because they feel like their being replaced and for other selfish reasons. However, if practically everyone who is close to you has a problem with this individual—especially a parent or sibling—you’re not with the right person.

5. You’re not excited or concerned about a future with them.

You feel like you’re going to be just fine with or without them. A lot of people like to justify this by saying that they are in charge of their own happiness, which I completely agree with. However, that doesn’t mean that your life partner (or partner for the time being) isn’t supposed to contribute in large part to that happiness. If you don’t feel like you need them (no, not financially) or desire to have a future with them then move on. You deserve to be with someone who makes you feel the way you do when you see your food coming to your table in a restaurant.

If you’re holding on to someone that you know isn’t right for you, do yourself the favor and let go of them. Don’t sell yourself short. The right one is out there somewhere.

Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon has been busying herself these days by updating her real estate portfolio. She is said to be surreptitiously looking for a new owner for her Pacific Palisades mansion, according to Variety.

Citing Hollywood real estate insiders, Variety reports that Ms. Witherspoon and her talent agent husband Jim Toth are asking just shy of $20 million.

Ms. Witherspoon’s publicist did not have an immediate response about the sale of the property.

Property records show that the couple paid $12.7 million in August 2014, when the mansion was still under construction by then-owner “starchitect” Ken Ungar. The Colonial-style residence has five bedrooms and five bathrooms, totaling around 10,000 square feet.

The finished basement includes a couple of staff bedrooms, a full gym and professional-grade screening room, according to Variety. The rear of the house opens to an outdoor living room that overlooks the lawn and an infinity-edged swimming pool. Additionally, the property is equipped with a comprehensive state-of-the-art security system.

Ms. Witherspoon previously owned a three-property compound in the guard-gated Brentwood Circle enclave in Los Angeles. She sold that for $13.61 million in 2014, through two separate transactions, according to Variety.

Her real estate portfolio includes at least four houses in her hometown of Nashville, including a 1930s white brick Colonial on six-and-a-half acres, which she bought in 2014 for $2 million, according to Variety.
