Whoopsie! Dolly Parton's sister Freida says she didn't mean to start a panic Tuesday over Dolly's health ... because the music legend is expected to be just fine.

After freaking out some fans on Facebook Tuesday, Freida later posted ... "I want to clear something up. I didn't mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly. She's been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference."

Freida, 68, put fans on edge about Dolly, 79, after hopping on Facebook earlier Tuesday, writing ... "Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn't been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me."

David Ortiz clearly isn't over what Yankees rookie pitcher Cam Schlittler did to his Red Sox last week ... 'cause the Boston legend says the sensation's name sounds more like "Hitler" to him.

Big Papi dropped the eye-popping zinger after the Pinstripes kept their season alive with a comeback against the Blue Jays in the ALDS on Tuesday ... which set up a Game 4 on Wednesday.

With the 24-year-old slated to take the mound in the pivotal matchup, Ortiz asked Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and Kevin Burkhardt how Schlittler's name is pronounced.

Nicole Kidman just served divorce drama on a silver platter ... striking the American Vogue cover like a woman who needs no man, and wants everyone to know it!

The statuesque actress flexed her frame in Saint Laurent on the cover -- with a spread packed with other big-name fashion -- showing her fully in her element ... though the interviewer admits, they kinda saw the divorce tea brewing mid-chat, even before anyone else did!

Journalist Wendell Steavenson said she held back when she sensed trouble in Nicole’s marriage ... a huge clue came when she asked Kidman about life in her 50s. She said Nicole  wondered aloud, "How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn’t going in that direction?"

Francia Raisa just slammed the brakes on years of feud rumors with one heartfelt gush ... saying how happy she is for Selena Gomez amid all her marital bliss.

Just days before Selena said "I do" to Benny, Francia spilled in an interview with Univision's Magaly Ortiz ... gushing in Spanish that Selena’s living her best life, already a billionaire ... and Francia’s just grateful she helped make it all happen for her with a life-saving kidney donation during Selena’s lupus battle back in 2017.

Francia also squashed the feud chatter ... despite reports, she was never angry with Selena about allegedly smoking cigarettes after the surgery, and says maybe one day Selena will set the record straight herself ... but honestly, no biggie!

Bad Bunny has ruffled lotsa feathers on the conservative right ... and the list now includes House Speaker Mike Johnson, who thinks the singing sensation is bad for the Super Bowl -- and for kids!

Johnson gave his take on Bunny to reporters outside the House chambers in D.C. Tuesday ... and it might shock some of you to hear what the speaker had to say.

The Republican Congressman from Louisiana kicked things off telling journalists he didn't even know who Bunny was before the whole Super Bowl kerfuffle.

Everyone's talkin' about Bad Bunny performing at next year's Super Bowl ... but the artist made a cameo at Tuesday night's New York Yankees game -- and got a little souvenir.

Bunny and his buddies took a trip to The Bronx for Game 3 of the American League Divisional Round matchup between the Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays -- and the popular Puerto Rican singer snagged a foul ball!

Here's the wind-up ... Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander was at the plate during the third inning when he hit a ball thrown by Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon into the stands.

Kristi Noem is now taking direct aim at Zach Bryan over his new song criticizing ICE raids ... calling the track "disrespectful" to the United States.

The Homeland Security Secretary told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson she's listened to the snippet of Bryan's song -- where he sings ICE has plans to "bust down your door" -- saying ... "I hope he understands how completely disrespectful that song is, not just to law enforcement but to this country."

She goes on to say ... "To every single individual that has stood up and fought for our freedoms. He just compromised it all by putting out a product such as that, that attacks individuals who are just trying to make our streets safe.”

Zak Bagans is cranking the scare meter wide open this spooky season ... the "Ghost Adventures" host just pulled the protective glass off one of his creepiest keeps ... Ed Gein’s real-life cauldron.

With Ryan Murphy’s "Monster: The Ed Gein Story" stirring buzz, Zak’s tossing in his own nightmare fuel ... unveiling the cauldron that once held human blood and entrails in Gein’s barn. For October only, fans can eyeball it sans glass ... but there’s one hell of a catch.

Zak’s making it crystal clear -- this cauldron’s cursed AF and that's why he's kept it locked behind glass for 8 years -- and now that it’s out, touch it at your own risk. His crew’s even on standby to clock any freaky paranormal activity. He says he is not removing the glass to put people in danger, but as a way to let guests get a closer look at it.

Channing was asked straight up about Jax's repeated claims they bunked together in a model house back in the day when he was a guest on Andy Cohen's radio show Monday ... and Channing didn't recall ever living with Jax.

Channing told Andy ... "Absolutely not. I don't think I ever roommated with him." He said he lived with other models when his career was taking off, but he doesn't remember Jax.

Yungblud was quick to offer that he "f****** loves" Taylor's music ... explaining how some of her throwback songs bring him back to a happy time with his family ... namely, his sisters.
