 Dolly Parton returns to public eye to celebrate opening day at Dollywood     Dolly Parton made her first public appearance in months to celebrate the opening day of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Friday. The country music icon reflected on the past year, a year after the death of her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, saying she is “doing good” and has been working to rebuild herself spiritually, emotionally, and physically after grieving and dealing with health issues that kept her from touring. Joined on stage by Dollywood president Eugene Naughton, Parton brought her trademark humor to the crowd, joking about rumors of a new husband while reaffirming her devotion to Dean. She also shared updates on her ongoing projects, including a new Broadway musical and her Dolly’s Life of Many Colors Museum in Nashville.

GIANNI INFANTINO: FIFA WILL ASK EVERY COUNTRY TO NAME A STADIUM AFTER PELE.(PHOTO).#WHAT DO YOU THINK?


Fifa president made the suggestion while speaking to reporters at Pele's wake in Santos, Brazil.

Gianni Infantino, the Fifa president, has bizarrely called on every nation in the world to name a football stadium after Pele in tribute to the Brazilian legend.

“We are here to pay homage to him, and we are talking with all the federations to observe a moment of silence for Pele,” said Infantino, on a visit to Santos to attend the three-time World Cup winner’s memorial at his former club. “But we are also talking to every country in the world about having a football stadium named after Pele. In 50 or 100 years, when a child asks, ‘Who was Pele?’ then we will be able to remember him. In the place where he used to score his goals, we see the emotions of football. We have to make sure this happens.”
It would be an unprecedented commemoration of any player, even one of Pele’s exalted standing, giving the impression that Infantino had – not for the first time in recent weeks – over-exaggerated for public effect. 
“Pele has a unique legacy,” Infantino argued. “He received a gift from God, a gift that very few people on Earth have, which is to touch people’s hearts and emotions. The fact is, there are many people around the world, millions, billions, who like me have never seen him play, but who are thinking about and honouring him.

“Of course, I was lucky enough to meet him in person, but I didn’t see him play. It was my father who spoke so many times to me about him. The legacy that he leaves behind is singular. 

“He was the first in the world to do many things that 99 per cent of players can only dream about, and maybe the other one per cent can only do some of the things he did. We will hold him in our hearts, and we will ensure that the world of football remembers him forever.”
