CARRIE UNDERWOOD has been hitting the talk shows to push her new book. She did that Friday on “Fallon” and told a story about one of the best nights of her life, which was the time she saw Guns N’ Roses in concert. She said, quote, “Well, our tour wrapped and we were nowhere near Las Vegas. So, naturally, I said ‘Let’s go to Las Vegas with the band and go see GNR play.’ Cause it’s kind of been a lifelong dream of mine I never thought would happen and I couldn’t waste that opportunity. So I abandoned my husband, abandoned my children, went to Vegas . . . and saw Guns N’ Roses.” She went backstage and hung out with Axl Rose, but almost passed up the opportunity because she was afraid he would not be everything she wanted him to be? But she said he was great. Also, in an interview on today’s “Rachael Ray Show” she talked about spoiling her chickens. The family wanted fresh eggs, and you can’t get any fresher than if they’re living with you. And hers are living well. “They knew it, the day they got there I was like, ‘Ladies, you just hit the jackpot. You’re just gonna be our little pets and you’re gonna live here forever and live the good life.'” Rachael asked her if the eggs are good. She said, “They’re delicious. They’re starting out small but they’re delicious. “Our ladies are happy ladies. Their little house is pretty bougie. They got it going on.”
DOLLY PARTON is 74 years old, and if what she wants is to be on the cover of “Playboy” magazine again, then they BETTER ask, again. She talked about it in an interview with “60 Minutes Australia”. “I don’t plan to retire. I just turned 74 and I plan to be on the cover of ‘Playboy’ magazine again. “See I did ‘Playboy’ years ago and I thought it’d be such a hoot if they’ll go for it . . . I don’t know if they will . . . if I could be on the cover again when I’m 75. It was 1978 when she did the cover. She was 32. She even wore the famous “bunny outfit” with the ears. They asked if she’d be willing to wear it again. She said, “Maybe. I could probably use it. Boobs are still the same.”
