On a recent episode of "Live with Kelly and Michael," popular country songstress Dolly Parton appeared on a mock segment entitled "Dishing with Dolly," where former NFL star Michael Strahan asked if it would be appropriate for him to either refer to the 66-year-old starlet as "Double D" or "Dr. Dolly." Parton immediately shot down both nicknames, but found the humor in Strahan's entertaining suggestions and managed to laugh along with Kelly Ripa and the live audience.

In a letter written to close friend Brig. Gen. James Shelton, ex-CIA Director David Petraeus admits that his highly-publicized and controversial affair with biographer Paula Broadwell was indeed a huge mistake - the 60-year-old former military official exclaims that he "screwed up royally." Even so, "Team Petraeus" will survive, and as of now Petraeus' wife of 37 years Holly staunchly remains by her husband's side despite all of his rather scandalous behavior.

She was bedridden for over 50 hours following the gig, and finally reemerged from her luxurious U.K. accommodations around 2:30 a.m., looking pale and fragile and chomping down on an orange. Rihanna definitely seems to need a relaxing, stress-free getaway - and it looks like she's planning on taking one to Barbados for the New Year holiday, alongside on-and-off again boyfriend Chris Brown.

During a recent interview with MTV, Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler had some rather harsh words of "advice" for "American Idol" newbie Nicki Minaj. Somehow, the rocker managed to combine "Bob Dylan," "cornfield," and "Phillip Phillips" all in one statement... and basically dissed Minaj's musical talent and taste. The "Starships" songstress didn't take the remarks lying down, and jumped into her own Twitter tirade against Tyler on Monday (Nov. 26). Now Tyler wants his fans to know that he isn't a racist and that his comments weren't meant to personally offend or disparage Minaj. Do Mstarz fans think the pop diva will accept Tyler's apology?
