The country music legend Dolly Parton is preparing to turn 75 next Tuesday, and she has a very unusual way of celebrating the occasion in mind!

“I plan to be on the cover of Playboy magazine again,” Dolly told Closer Weekly. “I did Playboy magazine years ago and I thought it’d be such a hoot if they’ll go for it, if I could be on the cover again when I’m 75!”

Dolly first appeared on the cover of the magazine in 1978, and she joked, “Boobs are still the same!”

Age is just a number in Dolly’s mind, and she has no plans to retire anytime soon.

“As long as I’m living, I’m working,” she said

“She has the energy of a 30-year-old,” an insider added. “What many people don’t know about Dolly is that she literally can’t sit still. When you’re around her, there’s never a dull moment.”

In typical Dolly Parton-fashion, the singer has no intention of just kicking back and relaxing on her birthday.

“If Dolly had it her way, she’d throw a lavish, over-the-top party and invite her celebrity friends, like Jane Fonda and Reba McEntire,” the insider said, adding that because of the pandemic, “She’s planning a video recording around her January 19 birthday so fans can celebrate with her.”

This will be far from her only celebration, as last month, her manager Danny Nozell confirmed an upcoming Dolly Fest tour to commemorate her 75th year.

“Expect Dolly Fest to go global in 15 stadiums,” revealed.

On top of all that, Dolly plans to release new music in 2021.

“She wakes up at 3 in the morning and she does a lot of her songwriting at that hour,” said Jad Abumrad, host of the podcast Dolly Parton’s America. “The Dolly I see is just relentless.”

In the end, Dolly is still loving life, and she plans to keep enjoying it by doing what she loves for many years to come.

“There’s no way I could retire,” she said. “I truly believed I had a gift that God had given me and it was my responsibility to take care of that. I always made it a point, no matter how hard I had to work or what I had to sacrifice, as long as it wasn’t my morals, my principles and my values, that I would be willing to work till I fell over to get the job done. And I still do that.”
