Dolly Parton “heartbroken” over East Tennessee Fires

It’s a bittersweet day for DOLLY PARTON.  Her TV special “Christmas of Many Colors” is debuting tonight on NBC . . . but it’s overshadowed by the terrible wildfires near her Dollywood theme park. The park had to close down for safety reasons . . . and it’ll reopen on Friday.  In the meantime, employees have been pitching in on the cleanup and doing whatever they can to support the community. Dolly issued a statement, saying, “I’ve been watching the terrible fires in the Great Smoky Mountains and I’m heartbroken.  I’m praying for the families and the firefighters.  It’s a blessing that my theme park, and so many businesses in Pigeon Forge have been spared.”
