The daily gossip: Neil Patrick Harris apologizes for ‘corpse of Amy Winehouse’ meat platter, Star Wars boss suggests recasting Han Solo was a mistake, and more
If you want to be pen pals with Dolly Parton, you may have to jump through a few technical hoops. Speaking with Seth Meyers, Miley Cyrus described the hilarious process of communicating with Parton, her godmother, who still uses a fax machine in the year of our Lord 2022. But it’s actually even more complicated than that. “She does a fax, and then someone scans the fax, and then they put it into a text message, and then that gets sent to me,” Cyrus explained. The singer recalled an instance when Parton made her “a demo” where she talks about how “super high-tech” she is — but it wasn’t super convincing seeing as “it was all through a cassette, which then she voice memoed onto a flip phone, which someone then put onto the iPhone, which then got sent to me.” Hey, at least she’s managed to eliminate the carrier pigeon from that process.
