People who already think "The Crown" shamelessly exploits the Royal Family aren't going to like this: Netflix is filming Princess Diana's final car ride . . . in the place where it actually happened But at least there's this:  Sources say Netflix will NOT recreate the actual crash.

If seeing Dolly Parton in concert is on your bucket list, you better get on it.  In an interview with "Pollstar", she said she won't be doing full tours anymore.  She's NOT retiring, but she is slowing down.  She'll still do shows here and there, but now that she and her husband are "getting older" she wants to stay close to home. She's still recording that rock album, so they asked if she has any "dream duet partners".  She's planning to ask Ed Sheeran, Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, her goddaughter Miley Cyrus, and Chris Stapleton.

"He [got] the microphone where my ear monitor guy is, where he talks to us in our ears.  Tim got ahold of that.  "I'm trying to sing and all the sudden, I hear somebody talking or singing a different song, and I'm trying to hear my band and all I can hear is McGraw . . like right in the middle of my show.  [And] he's singing like 'Indian Outlaw'.", "I look over and he's laughing on the side stage."
