No, not really. Dolly Parton has said she's getting sick of constant rumours in the US media that she's died, saying the false reports are upsetting her family. She told reporters: "I was at the lake house with my husband and it came across Fox News that I had died of a heart attack. My husband comes and wakes me up saying, 'Wake up! You're dead! You need to call some people to let them know its not so!'" Just for reference, if Dolly Parton was really dead we'd not be running it as an 'and finally' story. We'd never run an obit in the 'and finally' spot. Well, perhaps if it was Ronan Keating, but he wouldn't mind - at least we wouldn't be ignoring him.
