When Dolly Parton took the stage at the Academy Awards Sunday night, we couldn't help but gape once again at her two most-talked-about wonders. We were also awed by her impossibly small waist, impossibly large lips, and impossibly blonde tresses. And then, as she belted out her Oscar-nominated tune, we ventured the impossible-not-to-ask question: How old is Dolly, anyway?

We weren't the only ones. From the moment Dollywood met Hollywood on the red carpet last weekend, curious fans pushed searches on the singer's birthday and age up the Buzz charts, while more straightforward searchers blatantly wondered "how old is dolly parton"? It's so rude to ask, but here's the answer: She's an astounding 60 years old, more than some of it neatly tucked, lifted, and enhanced inside that sparkly white cowgirl outfit.

Moving past the (alleged) 40DD proportions and 365 platinum wigs, it's impossible not to love Dolly. Reese loves her. Naomi loves her. Gay men love her. And the Buzz loves her, too. General searches on the country queen, her biography, and her photos also spiked Sunday, pushing her into our top 200 movers and scoring as big with women as with men. Even "dolly parton hot" winked an eye. Not bad for a 60-year-old lady.

As for you cynical New Yorkers who wouldn't be caught dead humming along, prepare yourselves for a little bit of "Hello, Dolly." A stage version of 9 to 5 will reportedly hit Broadway next fall. What a way to make a living.
