PARTON WON'T PLAY AMERICAN IDOL JUDGE

Country queen DOLLY PARTON has turned down the chance to join the judges on AMERICAN IDOL - because she simply can't be mean to wannabes. The Jolene singer will take part in a tribute to her music in the next season of the talent show, but she'll only help singers master her hits backstage. She says, "I won't be a judge. I couldn't do that. I can't tell people they aren't doing a good job even if they ask me. "To tell someone if they're good or bad, or if they suck isn'tme."
