After years of gaining and losing weight at a wilder rate than Jared from Subway, Dolly Parton has agreed to cease and desist and simply let the pounds pile on.

Dolly is afraid that people are not going to take her seriously because she weighs less than Jared, too: 

The 62-year-old says, "People are telling me I'm too skinny now, so I'm going to gain 10 or 12 pounds. They worry about me - but I'm healthy."

The "Nine To Five" singer, famous for her surgically enhanced bust and small waist, insists she is perfectly healthy and blames her overly-concerned pals for sparking fears about her slender figure.

If anybody out there cares about how much she actually weighs, you can, um, weigh in on the discussion on her website.
