Laura Bright Moore is the daughter of Dolly’s father Robert Lee Parton. He plunged into a steamy romance with Laura’s mother Euvella Bright, while separated from his longtime wife Avie, mom of Dolly and her six brothers and five sisters. “We were involved for six or seven years,” says Euvella. “When I told him I was expecting Laura, he was delighted. He’s always called himself Laura’s daddy.” Now 35, Laura was apparently accepted as kin by Dolly and her dad — at first. “Dolly came to see us…

THE embattled Church of Scientology has unveiled a namesake network to combat the avalanche of criticism kicked off by former members who’ve sought to convict the cult in the court of public opinion, according to entertainment insiders. “After Leah Remini’s scathing series, Scientology and the Aftermath, the church’s reputation is in tatters,” notes one critic. “They can’t stand to have viewers think of the organization as an abusive cult. Creating the Scientology Network gives leaders the chance to control the narrative and put their own spin on their story.” But that won’t guarantee success, warns another media pro. “Leah’s Emmy-winning series, and Alex Gibney’s documentary Going Clear, were well received and got lots of press coverage. That kind of publicity is hard to combat,” says the source. “To succeed, the…

CONSUMING at least two servings of yogurt a week has been linked to a reduced incidence of cardiovascular disease among people with high blood pressure, according to a new study. Clinicians examined the eating habits of nearly 75,000 men and women with elevated blood pressure in 1981. People who reported eating the dairy product twice weekly were found to have nearly a 20 percent lower risk of major coronary heart disease or stroke during the following 30 years, according to the researchers, whose findings appeared in the American Journal of Hypertension. “Our results provide important new evidence that yogurt may benefit heart health alone or as a consistent part of a diet rich in fiber-rich fruits, vegetables and whole grains,” says study co-author Justin Buendia.…
