Gold records, money and public acclaim are nice but Dolly Parton says getting her weight under control ranks right up there with the greatest accomplishments of her life. The 5-foot-2 Parton has dropped 40 pounds in the past four years and now weighs in at 100 pounds. "The battle I had was within myself," the singer told The Nashville Tennessean. "Anybody with a weight problem will know exactly what I mean. When you don't feel good about yourself, nothing else seems to work right." On another weighty matter, Parton says she doesn't mind admitting that she's in show business to make a buck.
