In August last year, Lambert took to Instagram to defend Gliese against a wave of homophobic comments, after paparazzi photos of the couple out in West Hollywood surfaced online. âLifts my spirits to see support in the comments. Also appalled to see the obnoxious homophobia and ignorance plaguing people right now. Oli identifies as a he. He has wicked style and refuses to conform to the societal norms regarding his fashion choices,â wrote Lambert on Instagram:
He continued complimenting his boyfriend, calling him beautiful, brave, daring and a leader, not a follower. âOne of the many things I love about him! We are very happy together and if the haters donât like it, we donât really give a f***,â he added.

Chatting with ET Canada, Lambert revealed that Gliese never sugarcoats his feedback on his music. Having different tastes, Gliese isnât shy when saying he thinks a Lambert song isnât great. âThatâs fine. I just like to hear an opinion about it,â the singer said.
Singer Adam Lambert has been performing with Queen since 2011, but even today, fans express opinions about his supposed attempt to replace the irreplaceable: the band’s legendary vocalist, Freddie Mercury .
In an interview with The Times ,the artist opens up about the pressure and his true intentions as the lead singer of Queen + Adam Lambert , âI knew I didnât want to do an impersonation. Freddie and I are different. We have different physiques, weâve had different experiences. Those are parallels â but Iâm known for having a very outspoken personality, and letâs say there are similarities between our personal lives â but Iâm aware that the audience isnât seeing Freddie. Thatâs why I have to give the best performance I possibly can to make sure nobody leaves disappointed.â
In the same interview, guitarist Brian May stated that when he met Lambert on American Idol , he and Roger Taylor weren’t looking for a vocalist, but he was so charismatic that it seemed like the right choice. Furthermore, May emphasized that Adam should remind the audience every night that he was there to pay tribute to Queen and Freddie, as he was a fan just like everyone else in the audience.
Dolly Parton has always shared her life with the world, but when it came to her relationship with Carl Dean, her husband of 59 years, the two were a private pair. Their bond, built on love, faith, and quiet companionship, was their own sacred space away from the spotlight. Now, following Carlâs death on March 3, 2025, the world is learning of Dollyâs last promise to the man she called her rock.
In 2022, Dolly made the decision to retire from touring, choosing instead to spend more time at home with Carl as he faced the challenges of Alzheimerâs disease. It was a decision fueled by love and devotion, with Dolly admitting, âThey were in love until the very end,â according to a close friend of the couple. âThey gave each other exactly what the other needed.â
Carl, 82, passed peacefully, surrounded by the woman he had cherished since their meeting in 1964. Dolly, now 79, was a constant presence in Carlâs life as his health declined. âShe spent a lot of time with Carl, especially near the end,â the friend shares. âHis eyes would still light up when Dolly entered the room.â In those final moments, Dolly found strength she never knew she had, holding Carlâs hand and reminiscing about their years together. Her commitment to him was unwavering, even in the face of such deep sorrow. âIt was very difficult for her, but she didnât want him to be afraid or feel alone,â the friend adds.
Faith, too, was a source of comfort for Dolly during Carlâs final days. âShe promised Carl sheâd see him again,â the friend says. Dolly, always open about her beliefs, found solace in knowing that her love for Carl would transcend this world, and her promise to reunite with him in the next life gave both of them peace in his final moments.
The coupleâs story began with a chance encounter in 1964, outside a laundromat in Nashville. Carl, 21, was immediately taken with Dolly, who had just graduated high school. âThis guy hollered at me, and I waved,â Dolly recalls. They struck up a conversation, and after a week of visits, Dolly agreed to go on a date. By the end of that evening, Carl knew she was the one. âHe said he knew right the minute he saw me that thatâs the one he wanted,â Dolly says, remembering that first spark of love. They married in 1966, and Carl supported Dolly through the early years of her career, even when he wasnât her biggest fan. âHe loves me good and all, but Iâm really not his favorite singer,â Dolly confessed.
Though Carl was not a part of Dollyâs public life, he was her steadfast partner, especially in the face of the hardships they endured. Dolly suffered from infertility due to endometriosis and later underwent a hysterectomy, a difficult time that led to deep depression. âIt was an awful time for me,â she said. But Carlâs love, alongside her faith, helped Dolly through those dark days. Their bond only grew stronger with time, as they weathered lifeâs storms together.
While Dollyâs career took her on grand stages and red carpets, Carl remained by her side, away from the spotlight. Early in their marriage, Carl made it clear he wasnât interested in the celebrity life. âHe came out of there taking off his tuxedo ⊠[and] said, âDonât ever ask me to go to another one of these damn things,ââ Dolly shared with a laugh. Their private moments, whether on the road in an RV or at home with her famous chicken and dumplings, were what truly mattered.
The coupleâs love story was one of simplicity and joy, a contrast to the grandiosity of Dollyâs public persona. In 2021, Dolly shared a playful photograph of herself at 75 in the iconic Playboy hot pants, celebrating Carlâs birthday. Despite the years passing, Carl still adored her. âHe still thinks Iâm a hot chick after 57 years, and Iâm not gonna try to talk him out of that,â Dolly said with affection.
In the wake of Carlâs passing, Dolly is taking time to grieve quietly. She has no plans to leave the Nashville home they shared, filled with the memories of a life well-lived together. âGod has been good to me,â she reflects. âHe gave me Carl Dean. And thatâs a gift I will always cherish.â
Dolly Partonâs farewell to Carl Dean is a testament to a love that endured, that grew through the years and that, even in the face of grief, continues to shine as a beacon of faith and devotion. While Carl may no longer be by her side, Dollyâs promise to him, and the life they built together, will forever remain in her heart.
The song that Dolly just released is deeply moving, dedicated to honoring the memory of her late husband.
On New Yearâs Eve 2025, the M*A*S*H Boys Came Home One Last Time â Their Midnight Toast Says It AllÂ
It was 6 p.m. on New Yearâs Eve, 2025, when the doorbell rang at Alan Aldaâs house in New York.
Alanâ89 years old, moving a little slower, leaning on his caneâwent to the door.
On the other side stood Jamie Farr. Ninety-one. Scarf around his neck. Eyes still shining like Klinger just pulled off one more crazy scheme.
âALAN!â Jamie yelled, arms open wide. â HAPPY NEW YEAR!â
Alan burst out laughing and pulled him into a long, shaking hug.
âJamie,â he said, voice thick. âYouâre on time. Like always.â
Jamie stepped inside, careful with his balance, but his SPIRIT still walked in like it owned the room.
âHey, when youâre 91,â he joked, âevery minute counts. Iâm not wasting one on anyone but you.â
Alan smiled and lifted his trembling hand.
âMy hands shake,â he said softly, âbut my heart doesnât. Not tonight.â
At 6:15, two cars pulled up at the same time.
Out stepped Mike Farrell and Gary Burghoff.
âGARY!â Mike called.
âMIKE!â Gary shouted back.
They met halfway up the walk and just hugged in the cold New York airâtwo old soldiers from a war that was never real, but a friendship that absolutely was.
Inside the doorway, Alan and Jamie waited.
And then, for the first time in a very long time, the four of them stood together in one place:
Alan Alda â 89
Mike Farrell â 86
Jamie Farr â 91
Gary Burghoff â 81
Gary did a little math in his head and shook it off with a grin.
âThree hundred forty-seven years,â he said. âTotal mileage.â
Jamie threw his hands up.
âAnd weâre STILL here!â
âStill standing,â Mike added.
âStill loving,â Alan finished.
They wrapped each other in a four-way hug in the doorwayâ Laughing. Crying. Hanging on just a little longer than they used to.
Neighbors walked by, seeing nothing but four old men in each otherâs arms⊠Not knowing they were watching the 4077th checking in one more time.
âCome in,â Alan finally said, wiping his eyes. âItâs freezing. Family belongs inside.â
Dinner wasnât fancy. But it felt like a feast.
Jamie brought Lebanese kibbeh, the way his mother used to make in Toledo.
Arlene had made salad and warm bread.
The table was set for ten.
Only four chairs were filled.
Six plates were left empty â on purpose.
Mike stood first, glass in hand.
âNew Yearâs Eve, 2025,â he began. âFour of us still here.â
âFifty-three years ago, we met on a show we didnât really understand yet. We were just kids. We didnât know what M*A*S*H would become⊠or what we would become to each other.â
He looked at Alan. At Jamie. At Gary.
âNow weâre old,â he said, smiling gently. âAnd somehow⊠weâre still together.â
He pointed to the empty plates.
âSix of us have gone ahead,â he said quietly. âLoretta. Harry. Wayne. McLean. Bill. David.
But theyâre still with us. On this table. In this room. In here.â
He touched his chest.
Mike raised his glass.
âTo the ones still here,â he said. âAnd to the ones waiting for us.â
âTo M*A*S*H. To family. To love.â
Four glasses clinked.
Tears fell.
Smiles stayed.
At 11:30 p.m., they moved to the living room.
Blankets over their knees. Old hands a little shaky. Hearts very, very full.
âLetâs do it,â Gary said. âOne more time.â
Alan picked up the remote.
On the screen, the opening credits rolled:
âGoodbye, Farewell and Amen.â February 28, 1983.
There they were againâ Young. Fast. Sharp.
Hawkeye and B.J. at the 4077th. Klinger in something ridiculous. Radarâs soft eyes. Margaret fierce and broken-hearted. Potter steady. Mulcahy kind.
âLook at us,â Gary whispered. âWe were just kids playing dress-up. And somehow⊠it turned into peopleâs lives.â
They watched their younger selves say goodbye 42 years earlierâ While they sat shoulder to shoulder in Alanâs living room, waiting now for a new year instead of a final episode.
Back then, they cried because the show was ending.
Tonight, they cried because something never did.
At 11:59 p.m., New Yorkâs countdown began on TV.
10⊠9⊠8âŠ
Alan reached for their hands.
âWeâre still here,â he said, voice breaking. âForty-two years later. Weâre still together. Still loving each other.â
7⊠6⊠5âŠ
Jamie squeezed his hand.
âKlinger made it, boys,â he said. âAll the way to 91.â
4⊠3⊠2âŠ
Mike laughed through his tears.
âB.J. kept the promise,â he said. âHe came back.â
1âŠ
Gary took a deep breath.
âRadarâs still on duty,â he whispered. âFor as long as they need him.â
HAPPY NEW YEAR!Â
The city exploded in fireworks.
Four old men leaned in and hugged again, right there on the couch.
No cameras. No scripts. No laugh track.
Just four hearts that had been through fame, illness, grief, and time⊠and somehow still found their way back to each other.
Because as long as even a few of them can still make that last trip, still ring that doorbell, still shout:
âIâM STILL ALIVE!â
âŠthe 4077th isnât just a show you once watched.
An ecstatic Susan Boyle is joined by fellow Britainâs Got Talent star Jai McDowall in the first photos from inside the rehearsals for her upcoming UK tour.

In images taken during their practice sessions, the pair smile at each other. Boyle wears a pink suit jacket and white blouse while McDowall opts for a blue collarless shirt.
She said: âI was looking forward to my tour, but getting into the studio and rehearsing and coming up with exciting new material and suggestions, I canât wait to get back on that stage.âIâm also looking forward to Jai joining as well. This will be an all-new show, like nothing youâve seen me do before.â

McDowall said: âAfter a very successful first rehearsal with Susan I am beyond excited to start the tour itâs going to be incredible and the fans are in for a real treat, canât wait to hit the road in March 2020.â
Boyleâs first tour in four years will start in Dundee on March 3.
Other stops include Nottingham, Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester, before the show wraps up in Boyleâs home city of Edinburgh on March 25.
Boyle released her latest album, entitled Ten, in May.
Fifteen years have passed since Susan Boyle first stunned the world, and in that time, she has lived moments that feel almost too extraordinary to be real. Among her most cherished highlights are performances for figures of immense global stature. In 2019, she sang for Pope Francis at the Vatican. In 2014, she moved an entire stadium with her voice while performing for Queen Elizabeth II at the Commonwealth Games. But what many may not know is that her journey into the world of royalty began even earlier. Portable speakers Discover more guitar Portable speakers MUSIC Gospel songs Gospel music
Online movie streaming services Music music Guitar Back in 2010, Susan Boyle was selected to perform at the Royal Variety Performance, an annual event known for featuring top-tier talent before the British royal family. That year, Boyle chose Lou Reedâs âPerfect Dayââa song she had mastered previously. However, this version held a different kind of magic. Accompanied by a childrenâs choir, Boyle delivered a performance that was both serene and powerful, each note rising with clarity and grace. It was a moment of pure artistry, and the audience, including then-Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, responded with overwhelming applause. That performance wasnât just another stage momentâit was a statement.
Long before memes and viral videos dominated pop culture, The Carol Burnett Show delivered one of the most unforgettable comedic moments in American television. In 1976, the show aired its now-legendary parody of Gone with the Wind, titled âWent with the Wind!â â a sketch that would go on to become a comedy classic.
In the spoof, Carol Burnett portrayed âStarlet OâHara,â a determined Southern belle willing to try anything to save her beloved home. Her solution? Tear down the velvet curtains and turn them into a dress.>
But nothing could prepare audiences for what came next.
As Carol descended the grand staircase, the studio audience gasped â then erupted into uncontrollable laughter. Instead of a dress inspired by curtains, she wore the actual drapes, complete with tassels and the curtain rod still strung across her shoulders. Her perfectly calm delivery made the moment even funnier:

âI saw it in the window, and I just couldnât resist it.â
Designed by the iconic costume designer Bob Mackie, the curtain-rod gown instantly carved its place in television history. Carol later shared that Mackie unveiled the design only two days before filming:
âI fell on the floor. I said, âThis is the most brilliant sight gag ever.ââ
The full sketch lasted nearly twenty minutes and featured an all-star comedic cast: Harvey Korman as Rat Butler, Vicki Lawrence as Sissy, and Tim Conway as Brashley Wilkes. Together, they spoofed the most dramatic scenes of the original film â from Scarlettâs emotional pleas to Rhettâs iconic goodbye â without missing a beat.

Decades later, the outrageous curtain gown remains one of the most beloved symbols of television comedy. Today, the original costume is preserved in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, proudly displayed with the curtain rod still in place. It stands as a reminder that sometimes, all it takes to make history is a brilliant joke, a fearless performer, and a very heavy pair of drapes.
The clock struck 10 PM, and right after The Love Boat, millions of Americans tuned in to CBS for their weekly tradition: The Carol Burnett Show. Gas was 63 cents a gallon, disco lights glittered across the country, and the Bee Geesâ âNight Feverâ dominated the airwaves. In living rooms everywhere â including mine â families gathered around the TV, ready for an evening of pure laughter.
This episode was something special. It showcased the unbeatable comedic duo Tim Conway and Harvey Korman, two men whose chemistry could crack up even the most stoic viewer. Timâs genius for physical comedy and Harveyâs unforgettable inability to keep a straight face created a magic that defined an era of television.>

Tim Conway at His Best â A Master of Physical Comedy
One of the standout sketches featured Tim and Harvey as window washers perched high above a skyscraper. Timâs exaggerated fear of heights had the audience in stitches as he clutched the scaffolding, legs wobbling, eyes wide, and movements unpredictable. Harvey did his best to stay composed â but as usual, Timâs antics broke him, sending both the characters and the viewers into uncontrollable laughter.
When you think of comedy duos, Tim Conway and Harvey Korman are often at the top of the list. Their partnership on The Carol Burnett Show in the 1970s laid the foundation for some of the most iconic, laugh-out-loud moments in television history. But what was it that made this duo so special? It wasnât just their impeccable timing or their perfectly crafted jokesâit was their chemistry. The ease with which they played off one another, their ability to read each otherâs cues without saying a word, is what truly set them apart.
Conway, the master of subtlety, would often deliver his lines with a mischievous grin or a pause that sent audiences into fits of laughter. Meanwhile, Korman, ever the professional, would tryâsometimes desperatelyâto keep a straight face, his attempts at composure only heightening the humor. Their dynamic wasnât just about making each other laugh; it was about making the audience feel like they were part of an inside joke.
A Comedy Lesson in Timing: The âDog Sketchâ and Beyond
There are some moments in television that stay with you long after theyâve ended. One of the most memorable sketches from Tim and Harveyâs time on The Carol Burnett Show was the âDog Sketch,â a brilliant example of comedic timing. In this sketch, Conway played the bumbling, incompetent dog owner, and Korman played his ever-patient friend, who couldnât believe the chaos unfolding before him. The moment Conway flubs a line, or Kormanâs eye twitches in disbelief, the audience was lost in laughter. It wasnât the jokes themselves that made it funnyâit was how they delivered them.
This sketch, along with countless others, serves as a masterclass in timing. Conwayâs unexpected pauses and Kormanâs wide-eyed expressions were the magic ingredients that made their comedy unforgettable. Watching them, itâs clear that great comedy isnât just about the scriptâitâs about knowing exactly when to land the punchline.
Comedy That Still Resonates: The Lasting Impact of Tim and Harveyâs Humor
More than 50 years have passed since Tim Conway and Harvey Korman first appeared on our screens, but their comedic influence remains as strong as ever. Their humor transcends generations, with newer audiences discovering their brilliance through the power of the internet. From viral clips to social media tributes, the duoâs legendary sketches continue to find new fans, who marvel at the timeless quality of their humor.
What makes their comedy so enduring? Perhaps itâs the fact that their sketches were never too polished. They were raw, spontaneous, and above all, human. In a world where perfection often dominates, Conway and Kormanâs ability to embrace the chaotic, imperfect nature of live comedy set them apart. Itâs that authenticityâthose unguarded, genuine momentsâthat make their comedy feel as fresh today as it did in the â70s.
Tim Conway: The Subtle Genius of a Master of Improv
Tim Conwayâs genius was often in his subtleties. While many comedians rely on loud gags and extravagant gestures, Conwayâs style was rooted in the quiet, almost imperceptible moments. His facial expressions, the small glances to the side, and his half-hearted attempts to stifle laughter were all part of the carefully crafted chaos that made his humor so impactful.
He had the ability to keep the audience on edge with every move, never knowing when heâd drop a surprise punchline or deliver a line in a way that no one saw coming. Conwayâs mastery of timing wasnât just a skillâit was an art form. His genius lay in his ability to turn the simplest moments into comedic gold, creating a delicate balance between control and chaos that made every sketch feel like an exciting, unpredictable ride.
Harvey Kormanâs Epic Struggles: Why His Failed Attempts Made Him a Star
While Tim Conwayâs subtle humor took the spotlight, Harvey Kormanâs reactions were just as essential to their comedy. Korman was known for his impeccable straight man delivery, but it was his failed attempts to maintain composure that often made the scenes even funnier. Thereâs a reason why so many fans still remember Kormanâs struggles to keep a straight face when Conway was on one of his chaotic rants.
Kormanâs reactions were pure goldâhis dramatic eye rolls, exaggerated sighs, and over-the-top expressions of disbelief only served to amplify the absurdity of Conwayâs antics. The audience loved watching Korman struggle, knowing that each failed attempt at composure would only lead to more laughter. Kormanâs ability to break under Conwayâs comedic pressure made their partnership all the more delightful.
The âUnrehearsedâ Magic: How Their Humor Thrived in Live Performances
What made Conway and Kormanâs comedy so special was its unpredictability. Although their sketches were scripted, much of their humor relied on improv, and that was where the magic happened. In the pressure of live television, the two comedians thrived. They werenât afraid to go off script, creating moments that felt spontaneous and alive.
This element of surprise was part of what made The Carol Burnett Show such a hit. The audience knew that anything could happen at any moment. Conway and Kormanâs willingness to embrace the unpredictable kept viewers on their toes, eagerly anticipating the next laugh. Whether it was a surprise line or an unexpected facial expression, they made each performance feel like an intimate, one-of-a-kind experience.
The Unspoken Language: How Their Physical Comedy Elevated the Sketches
Tim Conway and Harvey Korman didnât just rely on verbal humorâthey were masters of physical comedy. The way they used their bodies to tell jokes was an essential part of their act. Whether it was Conwayâs exaggerated gestures or Kormanâs wild eye movements, their physical comedy added another layer of humor to their sketches.
In particular, Conwayâs ability to communicate without saying a word was unmatched. He could deliver a punchline with nothing more than a subtle movement or a well-timed facial expression. Korman, on the other hand, would often match Conwayâs antics with his own physical reactions, which made the scenes even more engaging. Their use of body language wasnât just funnyâit was an integral part of their storytelling.
The Legacy of âThe Carol Burnett Showâ: How It Shaped the Comedy Landscape
While Tim Conway and Harvey Korman were already seasoned performers by the time they joined The Carol Burnett Show, the program gave them a platform to showcase their full range of comedic abilities. The showâs success helped redefine the sketch comedy genre, and Conway and Kormanâs contributions were integral to that.
Their work on The Carol Burnett Show set a new standard for what comedy could beâunpredictable, irreverent, and deeply human. The showâs success also helped cement the careers of many other comedic legends, including Carol Burnett herself, but it was Conway and Korman who turned each sketch into a masterclass in timing, chemistry, and pure hilarity. Without their contributions, the world of comedy would be a very different place.
The Internetâs Revival of a Classic Duo: How Tim and Harveyâs Comedy Still Connects
Thanks to the internet, Conway and Kormanâs sketches have experienced a resurgence in popularity. Old clips of The Carol Burnett Show continue to circulate on social media platforms, and the duoâs iconic moments are regularly shared in viral videos. The internet has allowed a new generation to experience their brilliance, and it has also given long-time fans a chance to relive the magic.

The timeless nature of Conway and Kormanâs humorâwhether itâs a quiet look or a well-timed lineâkeeps drawing people in. Their comedy doesnât feel dated or out of place. It still lands, still feels fresh, and still captures the essence of what made them so special in the first place.
The Human Element: Why Their Comedy Continues to Touch Hearts
Perhaps the most enduring quality of Conway and Kormanâs humor is the human element they brought to every sketch. Their comedy was never just about getting laughsâit was about connecting with the audience on a deeper level. There was a vulnerability in their performances, a sense that they were letting us in on a secret, that made them so relatable.
Fans continue to love Tim and Harvey not just because of their wit, but because they reminded us of the joy of shared laughter. Their comedy wasnât just about the punchlineâit was about the moments of connection, the ways their personalities shone through the chaos, and the bond they formed with their audience. Even as they played characters, they never stopped being themselvesâtwo men who loved to make each other laugh, and in doing so, made the world laugh along with them.
The Enduring Spirit of Comedy: Why Tim and Harvey Will Always Be âThe Bestâ
As the years pass, itâs easy to forget the giants who shaped the world of comedy. But Tim Conway and Harvey Kormanâs legacy remains unshakeable. Their humor, their chemistry, their authenticityâall of these elements have ensured that their sketches remain as beloved today as they were when they first aired.

The rap icon, 54, headlined the NFLâs second-ever Christmas Halftime show on Thursday, Dec. 25, and brought on some impressive talent for the event â from Lainey Wilson and a trio of K-pop stars to a cameo from Snoopâs longtime friend Martha Stewart.
Following Stewartâs introductory reading of ââTwas the Night Before Christmasâ (with a twist), Snoop â donning a red suit and jacket â opened with the familiar beat of âThe Next Episodeâ and ran through some of his hits on stage, such as âDrop it Like itâs Hot,â with a live orchestra.
Soon following were Huntrix performers Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Amiâs rendition of âThe 12 Days of Christmas.â Yes, they are indeed the KPop Demon Hunters singers, whose song âGoldenâ is up for a Grammy and may very well become Oscar-nominated as well.
