This Thanksgiving, A-T-and-T Stadium will become Dollywood. The Dallas Cowboys have announced that country legend Dolly Parton will perform the halftime show for their Turkey Day game against the Washington Commanders. The halftime show also serves as the kickoff of the Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign, which helps more than four-and-a-half-million people during the holiday season.

You can pretend you are the "Band on the Run." The "Wings Over Europe" tour bus will be up for bids next month. Paul and Linda McCartney bought the 1953 double-decker bus for Wings' 1972 tour. It will be part of the 20th anniversary "Played, Worn and Torn Rock and Roll" auction, a three-day event next month at the Hard Rock Cafe in Nashville. Guitars and other instruments make up most of the items that are being auctioned but there are other vehicles.

Rod Stewart is once again making it clear he won't perform for any sum of money in a country he believes does not respect human rights. Stewart told the Daily Mirror newspaper he turned down a significant offer to perform in Saudi Arabia because of its treatment of "women, the LGBTQ community (and) the press." He didn't reveal the amount of the offer, but did say it was "much higher" than a one-million dollar offer he once turned down to play in Qatar.

Some Disney fans got a look at the inside of Walt Disney's childhood home in Chicago over the weekend. The house was open to the public for the first time ever on Saturday and Sunday. Fans were able to check out where the filmmaker was born and raised as part of the Chicago Architecture Center's free annual Open House Chicago festival. Walt Disney's father, Elias, bought the piece of land in 1981 and the two-story house was built in 1901. The architectural plans were drawn by his mother Flora.

A new documentary is telling the tale of the Provincetown, Massachusetts lobsterman who said he was nearly swallowed by a whale. Michael Packard was on a dive in the summer of 2021 when he said what felt like a truck hit him, and everything went dark. Eventually, Packard's crewmate witnessed the whale spit him out to the surface. Packard suffered injuries from the ordeal including a broken leg. The film titled "In the Whale" is screening at several New England film festivals.
