## Resource

The latest on LIONEL RICHIE after his second hospitalization in two months.  Plus, the tributes are only getting bigger for DOLLY PARTON, from a star-filled Grand Ole Opry send-off to plans for a “DollyFest” celebration she helped create, and a growing push to rename Nashville’s airport in her honor. Then, REBECCA GAYHEART DANE opens up exclusively about life after ERIC DANE and her return to acting, while TOM CRUISE reveals ANNE HATHAWAY is joining DAYS OF THUNDER 2. Plus, ET goes backstage at AMERICA’S GOT TALENT with SOFIA VERGARA and MEL B, SANDRA BULLOCK returns to the big screen after four years and reveals why slipping back into her PRACTICAL MAGIC 2 sisterhood with NICOLE KIDMAN required zero rehearsal, GLEN POWELL gets pranked by his own CHAD POWERS co-star, and KELLY CLARKSON closes out THE KELLY CLARKSON SHOW after seven seasons with help from her kids.
