(May 19) - Howard Stern returned to the air for the first time since Dolly Parton expressed outrage over a vulgar bit that aired on his radio show last week. If he'd lost any sleep over her threats of a lawsuit, he wasn't showing it.
"It's an absurd bit," said Stern about an audiobook spoof in which Stern staffers took soundbytes of Parton reading her biography and reassembled them to make her sound like she was making racist and sexual statements. "It's obviously parody and it's funny as hell."
Parton didn't appear to think it was that funny when she issued an apology to her fans for the Stern bit last week.
"I have never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated in all my life," Parton said in a statement. "I cannot believe what Howard Stern has done to me. In a blue million years, I would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth. They have done editing or some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing. Please accept my apology for them and certainly know I had nothing to do with this."
