Fans of Dolly Parton (and they’re from all over the globe) will have a shot at owning some very cool Dolly memorabilia. Later this month, Julien’s Live Auctions is holding a “Played, Worn & Torn” auction, where one-of-a-kind items from throughout Dolly’s career can be bought by anyone…even you. Some of the items up for bid include: various set pieces from Dolly’s “Home” music video, including her dressing mirror, rug and tri-fold dressing screen; a signed (and smashed) Epiphone guitar, original Bob Mackie fashion sketches signed by both the costumer and Dolly herself, and much more. The auction will be held October 22 at 10am CDT; check out all the items up for bid here.

Riley Green has had collabs with Ella Langley and Hannah McFarland, among others, but his new one is sort of unexpected. Out yesterday, Riley has teamed up with NFL legend and TV broadcaster Peyton Manning for a song coming from two different college football fan bases. “Alabama vs. Tennessee” features the two of them in a honky tonk, both singing the praises of their favorite college football team. Well, Riley sings…Peyton just humorously interjects from time to time.

Fans dressing up to see Ella Langley, Kameron Marlowe and Laci Kaye Booth in Tulsa Oklahoma Friday got some bad news just hours before showtime. On her Instagram Story, Langley wrote, “Due to a serious security threat involving the safety of my fans, the venue staff, and my team, the incredibly difficult decision was made to cancel tonight’s show. This decision was made under the advisement of local authorities, the venue, and my security team.” She added, “I know how much time, travel, money, and planning goes into coming to a show, and I can’t tell you how sorry I am. This is not a decision that was made lightly. I was so looking forward to spending tonight with you, but your safety will always mean more to me than anything else. I refuse to put anyone in harm’s way.

Tulsa PD’s Captain Richard G. Meulenberg IV noted in a followup statement that it was Langley’s team who made the decision to cancel the show. After doing a standard pre-sweep with BOK Center and bomb-sniffing dogs, Meulenberg explained “a call came in saying that someone’s going to do great harm to the people here at this event,” which could include gunshots or an explosion. “So, we came out again in an over abundance of caution, used our bomb dogs again, searched the entire area,” said Meulenberg. “We could not find a credible threat here at the BOK Center.”

The next night, at her show in Lubbock, Texas, Ella explained her decision to the crowd. “I was put in charge of a decision for 15-thousand people and I decided to make the decision that I could live with the rest of my life. Because a concert’s not worth a human life. It’s not,” she said. “So I would have made yesterday’s decision 10-billion times over. And I’d do it tomorrow and I’d do it the next day.”

They’ve toured together, recorded together, and were even rumored to be dating at one point. But something seems to have gone awry between Ella Langley and Riley Green, at least from her perspective. While Riley continues to follow Ella on Instagram, it appears that she has either unfollowed him, or (less likely), never followed him at all. Whether this carries over to other social media platforms remains unclear, since Langley’s “Following” list on TikTok is set to private. What is clear: Ella follows over 1000 Instagram accounts…and Riley’s isn’t one of them. 12
