That Dolly, she's a giver and we love her for it...you'd better, I didn't stutter when I said that. Dolly Parton today announced Dollywood’s 30 Days of Thanks, a month-long celebration designed to recognize the award-winning park’s loyal guests for helping create cherished family memories for 30 years. During every park operating day in May, Dollywood will thank guests for their support with daily giveaways and prizes, including 2016 Dollywood season passes. Guests may register for the prizes at in-park kiosks located throughout Dollywood. Each day, 30 lucky contest entrants will win a 2016 Dollywood season pass. Additionally, each vehicle will receive a free car magnet upon entry to the park. The magnets include a link for guests to visit for free computer downloads. The contest ends with an extraordinary grand prize with the ultimate Dollywood vacation package. Every person who enters at an in-park kiosk during the month of May is entered for the grand prize, A Dollywood Summer Vacation. This incredible prize includes four tickets to Dolly Parton’s Pure and Simple concert on Saturday, Aug. 8 at 7 p.m. and a meet and greet with Parton prior to the concert. The grand prize also includes a two-night stay at Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort (check-in date on Aug. 7 or 8), four tickets to both Dollywood theme park and Dollywood’s Splash Country water park, and four Dollywood 30th anniversary t-shirts. Entrants in the 30 Days of Thanks contest must be 18 years of age. Each guest may enter only once per day. Grand prize winner will be contacted on June 1. Transportation to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee for the grand prize winner is not included. Dollywood celebrates its 30th anniversary season in 2015 with a schedule packed full of fabulous festivals, tremendous concerts and the same family fun guests have come to expect since 1986.

'Tis The Season For Queen Latifah

Queen Latifah Rulz! 

I have always loved Queen Latifah! When I first saw her in Set It Off I was a fan!

She has always brought something unique and interesting to every film she has graced. Not to mention she is one bad ass singer!

The news that her talk show has been cancelled is sad indeed. This being stated Ms. Latifah proves why she has the title of Queen.

Although the cancelled talk show will still run through March, since it has been given the boot the crew is no longer necessary. The Queen is using her own money to pay the show's crew through the Holidays.

"Your Family, Partners, Staff and Crew showed up with you every step of the way. Be very proud of that! Not everyone can say the same," the message continued. "You can also say you have been a blessing to and been blessed by amazing guests and incredible audiences for this show. We truly changed people's lives for the better. So…stay positive, stay strong, and most important, stay open...There is so much more God has in store!"

The Queen concluded with: "This letter is for me, my staff, my crew, and everyone who was by my side for this incredible journey," she wrote. "The most important thing in life is that you wake up every single day and take chances. No matter what the outcome…believe in yourself and continue to fly."

What's up next? Queen Latifah is getting great buzz for her portrayal of legendary blues singer Bessie Smith in HBO's upcoming Bessie. I can't wait! 

Long live the Queen!
