Is Dolly Parton<\/strong> refusing to eat? Around this time last year, one tabloid reported Parton was in dire health due to her bare-bones diet. Let\u2019s check back in on the beloved country icon.<\/p>\n

Dolly Parton \u2018Scary Skinny\u2019 From Diet?<\/h2>\n

Last April, the Globe <\/em>reported Dolly Parton was waif-thin at a dangerous 98 pounds. \u201cThere are genuine fears she\u2019s taken dieting too far again,\u201d a source warned. Apparently, the \u201cJolene\u201d songstress had cut her calorie intake to a measly 500 calories a day. The magazine consulted a doctor who had never treated Parton for their professional opinion. \u201cLow weight in older people is a serious risk factor,\u201d the expert noted. \u201cSkeletal muscle size determines heart muscle strength.\u201d <\/p>\n

And since Parton had become little more than skin and bones, her loved ones were supposedly growing concerned. But apparently, the stubborn musician was hard to convince. \u201cDolly likes herself that way, but no one else in her circle thinks it\u2019s a very attractive sight,\u201d the tipster concluded.<\/p>\n

Is Dolly Parton Okay?<\/h2>\n

This story didn\u2019t have a shred of truth to it last year, and it certainly isn\u2019t any more accurate now. First of all, Dolly Parton shared her concerns about women\u2019s beauty standards in 2018. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to look like a supermodel,\u201d Parton mused<\/a>. \u201cI really worry a lot about young girls today because they think they have to look like the models or the people on television. We need to be accepting of ourselves in how we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

And if anything, Parton\u2019s career has ramped up over the last twelve months. The singer has released new music and even ventured out into some unexpected projects. Earlier this year, Parton released a line of baking kits inspired by her favorite desserts.<\/p>\n

She hosted the American Country Music Awards and looked as radiant as ever.<\/p>\n

And she even co-wrote a novel with James Patterson called Run, Rose, Run<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear that even after so many years in the spotlight, there\u2019s no stopping Dolly Parton.<\/p>\n

The Tabloid On Dolly Parton<\/h2>\n

But the Globe <\/em>hasn\u2019t been any kinder to Parton since we first debunked this story. Last fall, the outlet reported Parton was forced to retire after suffering a \u201chorrifying meltdown.\u201d Then the magazine claimed Parton was keeping a \u201cdesperate vigil\u201d over her husband. And more recently, the publication alleged Parton\u2019s face was partially paralyzed after receiving too much plastic surgery. Obviously, the Globe <\/em>isn\u2019t a fan of Dolly Parton.<\/p>\n
