Happy Birthday Dolly. Wow, what a woman! 77 years old and still as fabulous as ever.

Dolly Parton certainly deserves a place on PeopleWorld’s hot list today and this is not just because she is celebrating her birthday! She has recently teased collabs with Paul McCartney and Cher on her new album Rock Star.

Not only is she still continuing to work with big name stars, but Dolly Parton is also the godmother to Miley Cyrus and continues to be a role model and support to the star.

Next up today is US rapper Flor Rida who has been awarded $82.6 million in damages in a lawsuit against energy drink company Celsius. Although the drinks company may appeal the verdict, Flo Rida is obviously feeling more than happy this Thursday!

Last up today is Zara from Love Island. Viewers of the hit show are going mad over ‘bombshell’ Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown and one fan wrote: "Haven’t watched a bit of Love Island yet but that bombshell Zara is literally the most beautiful woman I have seen. Absolutely stunning.”

It would appear that Zara is not only commanding attention with the fans but with the Love Island contestants too. Watch this space to see how she rocks the villa and the drama unfolds…

Now, who is featured on PeopleWorld’s not so hot list today? First up is Piers Morgan who had the audacity to say that Madonna should do her shows sitting in a rocking chair and that she was a “hot mess.” Granted, Madonna has featured on PeopleWorld’s not so hot list a few times, but she is on the ascendancy right now. She is currently on the cover of Vanity Fair and has just announced the details of her 40th anniversary tour.

Piers, are you on the cover of Vanity Fair right now? No, methinks not. I rest my case…

Next up today is Liz Truss, a name you probably didn’t expect to see after her briefer than brief tenure as Prime Minister. She is featured on our not so hot list today because the lectern that she used cost taxpayers £4,175. Yes, £4,175 of taxpayers money for a Prime Minister who only lasted 45 days in No.10.

Last up is Shaq Muhammed from Love Island who is in ‘hot water’ after getting flirty with new ‘bombshell’ Zara. Before you say there is nothing wrong with that as this is the essence of Love Island, one Twitter fan wrote: “Shaq was in love with Tanya yesterday and is now trying to get with Zara.”

Come off it Shaq. Don’t pretend you are ‘in love’ and then act in the opposite fashion. Decide one way or the other who you prefer and don’t treat Tanya badly!
