A Dolly Parton avatar is in the future.

She says she and her team are working with companies who create avatar performances, and it’s in the early stages.

Dolly also gave a health update since canceling a recent Dollywood appearance.

She says she’s been dealing with health issues that she didn’t pay attention to when she was watching over her late husband Carl.

“Even though I’m still healin’, I’m still workin’.”

She’s opening a new hotel next month in downtown Nashville called the SongTeller Hotel.

Dolly is also opening a museum there called the Life of Many Colors. It’ll be the largest exhibit celebrating her life anywhere in the world.

And if Dolly’s not doing enough already, she’s also working on a line of dog treats with Purina.

And there’s also her Cup of Ambition Coffee line, which she expects to be available online in September.
