The entertainment world is still processing Dolly Parton's death, with tributes and remembrances pouring in from all corners. Today's stories are less about new developments and more about the collective mourning and reflection on her legacy.
The day's most resonant stories are the personal tributes and memories shared by those who knew and admired her.
Beyoncé's tribute to Dolly Parton as 'bold and brilliant' carries weight given their duet on 'Jolene' and Parton's influence on country music.
Orville Peck's emotional London tribute, complete with a cover of 'I Will Always Love You,' shows how Parton's impact spanned genres and generations.
The cast of '9 to 5: The Musical' honoring Parton during a performance is a fitting tribute, given the show is based on her hit film and she wrote the score.
A look at Parton's dog Billy the Kid, who inspired her children's book series, offers a softer, more personal side of her legacy beyond the music.
Elsewhere, critics are weighing in on new releases, and a few other stories are generating buzz.
Reviews of Ridley Scott's 'The Dog Stars' are mixed, with IndieWire calling it unnecessary despite Jacob Elordi's performance, suggesting the film may not be a contender this season.
Another review echoes the sentiment, calling the film disjointed and tonally inconsistent, which doesn't bode well for its critical reception.
Jane Fonda's defense of Mark Ruffalo in the Paramount feud adds a notable voice to the debate over antisemitism accusations in Hollywood.
