\n\tWhatever has been ailing Dolly Parton<\/a> is nothing that a bestselling book can\u2019t fix. The superstar, dressed in a black leather top and pants adorned with glittery silver and gold stars, was out and about this week touting her new book, Star of the Show: My Life on Stage<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tParton made the rounds in Nashville following the book\u2019s Tuesday release, posting on Instagram her stops at Barnes & Noble, Sam\u2019s Club, Walmart, Costco and Target, where she was making sure her newest release was front and center.\u00a0 She even tried some tasty treats at Costco, and then at Target jokingly used the book as a weight, hoisting it up in the air a few times, jokingly declaring, \u201cThis is heavy. This is how I built up my chest.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWritten with Billboard Country Update<\/em> editor Tom Roland, the book celebrates Parton\u2019s nearly 60-year career as an entertainer. It is the third in a trilogy, following Songteller,<\/em> which focused on her lyrics, and Behind the Seams,<\/em> which highlighted her fashion. Star of the Show<\/em> features more than 500 photos, stories about her decades of touring and a list of all her performances.<\/p>\n \n\tParton made news in September when she postponed her December <\/a>dates at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas to September 2026, telling fans, \u201cAs many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures. As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it\u2019s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tConcern for Parton hit overdrive in October after her sister Freida posted on social media that she had been \u201cup all night praying for my sister, Dolly,\u201d adding \u201cGodspeed, my sissy Dolly.\u201d The next day Parton posted a video <\/a>suggesting her health issues were of no great import. \u201cI know lately, everybody thinks that I am sicker than I am \u2026 do I look sick to you?! I\u2019m workin\u2019 hard here,\u201d she said, dressed to the nines in a red top and black pants. She stressed she wanted to put \u201ceveryone\u2019s mind at ease\u2026 I\u2019m OK. I\u2019ve got some problems that I mentioned,\u201d adding that she didn\u2019t take care of herself while she was tending to her sick husband, Carl, who died in March.\u00a0 She added she was having \u201ca few treatments here and there\u201d at Vanderbilt\u2019s Medical Center but stressed \u201cI am okay\u2026. I don\u2019t think God is through with me and I ain\u2019t done working.\u201d<\/p>\n
