This week's entertainment news is packed with compelling stories, from the stage to the wrestling ring. We've got everything from a new Dolly Parton loss, Amanda Seyfried directing opera, a biopic about a groundbreaking wrestler, and even some humorous advice on how to break up with your hairstylist. Let's dive in!
A Musical Tale of Bigotry and Loss
The musical "Parade" continues to resonate with audiences. The show tells the true story of Frank, a Jewish New Yorker living in Atlanta in 1913. He is falsely accused of murdering a 13-year-old girl who worked at the factory he managed. 
"Parade" is a powerful exploration of prejudice and injustice.
Amanda Seyfried's Directorial Debut
Amanda Seyfried is taking on a new challenge with "Seven Veils." In the film, Seyfried plays Jeanine, who directs a Toronto revival of Richard Strauss’s classic opera "Salome." As she directs, she confronts repressed trauma from the original operatic production’s director. This promises to be a complex and compelling performance from Seyfried.
"This role is a departure for Amanda, and we're excited to see her take on such a challenging character," said a source close to the production.
Remembering Carl Dean
Carl Dean, Dolly Parton’s husband of nearly 60 years, has passed away at the age of 82. Dean, famously private, inspired Parton's timeless hit "Jolene." He famously avoided the spotlight. He preferred to support his wife from behind the scenes. He will be deeply missed.
Queen of the Ring
Get ready to rumble! Emily Bett Rickards stars in "Queen of the Ring." The film tells the story of Mildred Burke. Burke put women’s wrestling on the map and became the first woman athlete to make a million dollars. Yet she’s virtually unknown. Rickards hopes to change that with this warts-and-all biopic.
Dear Abby: The Haircut Dilemma
Finally, a lighter note: Dear Abby tackles a common problem – how to break up with your hairstylist. One reader wrote in about a stylist who gave pushback when asked for a different hairstyle. Apparently, the stylist thought the reader "wouldn't take care of it." 
Abby's advice? Honesty is the best policy, but a little tact goes a long way.
That's all for this week's entertainment roundup. Stay tuned for more!
