Smiles Everyone, Smiles! Dolly Parton & Pentatonix
Dolly Parton scores her eighth Grammy with some help from the Pentatonix gang!
World-renowned singer/songwriter/entertainer Dolly Parton continues racking up the honors! In 2014, The Recording Academy inducted Parton's self-penned hit JOLENE into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Now, in 2017, that same song, released as a collaboration with Pentatonix, was awarded a Grammy in the Country Duo/Group Performance category. Watch the collaborative performance here:
Arranged by PTX
Filmed at NOVE Entertainment Produced by Dolly Parton, Pentatonix and Flyte Vu
"Oh my Lord I am so excited to have won the Grammy with Pentatonix on my old song Jolene," says Dolly Parton. "I am so happy and am so very proud of Pentatonix. The song is one of my favorites. Thanks to the Grammys, but most importantly thanks to all the fans. I love you all."
The award-winning collaboration between Pentatonix and Parton happened through a partnership with Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, which has enjoyed success with both acts in the past with exclusive editions of albums from each. In Parton’s case, the partnership stretches back to her 2009 Backwoods Barbie Collector's Edition project, which was followed by the release of An Evening With…Dolly and became the first Gold album-ever certified by the RIAA for Cracker Barrel Music. That relationship has continued with her latest Dolly Records / RCA Records release Pure & Simple. Released in the summer of 2016, the album – which netted Dolly her first chart-topping album since 1991 – was released in a deluxe Cracker Barrel-exclusive edition that featured live performances of her classic hits “9 To 5” and “Jolene” from the Glastonbury Festival, along with a 48-page ZinePak magazine filled with photos and interviews highlighting memorable stories from Parton. The collaboration is not part of any of the packages, however, is available for digital download here:
“Cracker Barrel is thrilled to have brought these two extraordinary talents together, Dolly Parton and Pentatonix, as part of our Spotlight Music Program for the exclusive collaboration of “Jolene." We share in the celebration of their GRAMMY Award win as they are both a special part of the Cracker Barrel family,” said Don Hoffman, VP of Marketing at Cracker Barrel.
CTK Management CEO Danny Nozell said, "The collaborative video produced by Cracker Barrel between Pentatonix and Dolly has been viewed over 22 million times and has now won a Grammy. Dolly proves, once again, that she is making music that the fans will respond to."
Parton's 2016's Pure & Simple North American Tour was the highest grossing tour of her career, performing over 60 shows.
It's time for some Saturday Cool...and nothing visually nails the word like this image of Kerry Washington marching down the street in Hollywood after an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Kerry back on Kimmel means only one thing, Scandal is back on the air after a much too long hiatus (they were working around Kerry's pregnancy) - the show is only three episodes deep and makes me realize how much I missed it while it was away. So expect to see Kerry and the rest of the Scandal gang filling up Kimmel's Couch (say that three times fast) for a spell. Her truth keeps marching on...

This One's For You Donald Trump! l-r Gay, Jew, Muslim
Walked into Nordstrom and then hit the White House to give the finger to Donald Trump. Well, they actually did. In the wake of Nordstrom dropping Ivanka Trump's line and incurring the wrath of Orange Cosby Chelsea Handler and friends (a Gay and a Muslim) hit the department store with glee and then got photographic evidence of it outside the White House. Many other celebrities have followed suit tweeting about hitting Nordstrom too, but you know Chelsea she had to outdo them all, and did. She also tweeted out this gem in retaliation to the Bitch Baby of the United States regarding his Ivanka & Nordstrom tantrum: "Trump says his daughter has been treated ‘so unfairly’ by Nordstrom. Oh, was she detained for 19 hours when she tried to enter the store?" Brilliant! Keep them coming Handler! Tweet with Chelsea at: https://twitter.com/chelseahandler

This past week has been really boring if you ask me. Hey, my life is pretty stimulating it's the "important" events happening in the world that need to rise to a competent level of intelligence. OK, there were some bright spots, and many lows. I will try to put some restraints on myself, even though that is usually not my style (I usually do the restraining) and try to limit the negative. Are you ready boots? Let's start walkin'... Nordstrom stock went up when they dumped Ivanka Trump's clothing line, made in China. Keeping America great. I've been such a dick on a broomstick of late aka I've been speaking my mind and taking no shit While typing a text auto-correct kept changing the word "dildo" into "soldier" - AC has one fucking hell of an imagination! Lady Gaga totally blew me away at the Superbowl, her performance was brilliant. The most impressive part to me was when she caught the football and jumped with precision timing. Hell, I know I couldn't do that. Betsy DeVos secured her seat as Secretary of Education. Two things. The first is I am so grateful I did not bring a child into this world, the second? Pink Floyd called it on their song Another Brick in the Wall apparently "We Don't Need No Education"
Wednesday On Thursday - I hated everyone before it was mainstream... Did you know you can find my chat with Traci Lords about her clothing line for Pin-Up Girl on her website? Here is the link: http://www.tracilords.com/press/ our exchange is under the byline "Traci Lords Pin-Up Girl" I read an article about how crystal dildos can heal your vagina and make it a magical place. Yeah, I know I don't have one, but who could resist that read??? Faye Dunaway & Warren Beatty are presenting the Oscar for Best Picture this year. Now that's gangsta! Counting down the days until April 18th when the final season of Pretty Little Liars airs and we find out everything. It's the only show I am obsessed with, don't judge me. For my money Moonlight is the Best Picture of the year. That's a wrap peeps! Here's where you can find me on the WWW: https://www.instagram.com/michaelshinafelt/?hl=en https://twitter.com/mshinafelt?lang=en
