...would ever describe Dolly Parton as demure. With her sky-high hairdos, long red nails, memorable curves and naughty sense of humor, Parton is a textbook case of bodaciousness.

When people say something about 'double D,' they will be talking of something entirely different!" But behind the scenes, Parton has quietly, without fanfare, been giving back big-time through her charitable activities. Her Imagination Library gives free books to children in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. - to the tune...

In 2008 he was indicted and charged with inciting religious hatred after putting on an exhibition a year earlier at the Andrey Sakharov Museum in Moscow called "Forbidden Art 2006."
