Dolly Parton is no doubt a dream come true for many country fans, and political comedian Stephen Colbert is no exception!   Dolly appeared on his Comedy Central show, "The Colbert Report" Tuesday night to promote her new book, Dream More:  Celebrating the Dreamer in You as Colbert admitted his admiration.

"As a little boy growing up in South Carolina, I watched the 'Porter Wagoner Show.' Huge country music show, Saturday afternoons, right after the cartoons were over. I always had to see whether Dolly was gonna be on the show. I had a little crush on you."   Not only did the two engage in a battle of who could name all their siblings first--Dolly has 12, Stephen has 11, the two attempted a duet of Dolly's  "Love Is Like a Butterfly!" See the entire episode here. Dolly noted all the proceeds from her book will be donated to her Imagination Library, to which Stephen quipped,  "Is that a library full of imaginary books?"   She then explained that the organization, which she started in her hometown of Sevierville, Tenn., gives a child a book a month from the time they're born until the time they start school, so that they can learn to read. Read more here. Check out the video of Stephen singing with another Dolly duet partner, KennyRogers!
