Country legend Dolly Parton was honored into the Songwriters Hall of Fame on Thursday. She also performed her hit "9 To 5" at the ceremony held at New York's Manhattan hotel.

Dolly said: "Songwriting is my favorite thing to do. It is my private time with God. That's when I feel closest to God even when the songs I'm writing are just God-awful."

Jessica Simpson can breathe a sigh of relief - everything is still okay.

Dolly Parton has pardoned Jessica for flubbing the lyrics of "9 to 5" at the Kennedy Center Honors recently. Dolly admits she still admires the young starlet and would love to perform for her someday.

Overall, it wasn't a good night for Jessica Simpson - both onstage and off.

Jessica Simpson's mom, Tina, gave her daughter a severe talk about how her performance of "9 to 5" for Dolly Parton was "unprofessional and "embarrassing" at the Kennedy Center Honors.

Jessica Simpson sung through tears when she performed a tribute to Dolly Parton at a White House event.

The pop star sung Parton's hit "Nine to Five" but promptly left the stage in tears at the end of the song with no applause.

The singer admitted that she was "so nervous" performing in front of Parton.
