Dolly Parton On Celebrity Couples: “It’s Never Going To Work!”

It’s safe to say, Dolly is not a Brangelina fan. Check out what The Queen of Country Music had to say about celebrity couples this week: “Aren’t Angelina and Brad meant to be having problems? And Madonna and her husband Guy (Ritchie) didn’t last long. There are so many break-ups that the names pass me by but it makes me think, if you want to escape the spotlight why marry another famous person? It’s never going to work. You’re either in competition or your priorities are different. Your schedules will always clash so you never see each other.”

The “Islands In The Stream” singer has been married to her husband Carl Dean for 44 years. The couple met in a laundromat, and Dolly believes the secret to their marital success is the fact that Carl isn’t in the industry.

“My husband is a homebody and has nothing to do with this celebrity world. We’ve been married 44 years and have worked so well together because we’re not in the same business. I met my husband before I became a star and he doesn’t care about any of it. If I’d married someone in the same business, it would never have lasted.”
