Alicia’s been tangling the web, but you may not be ready for the trashy affair, marriage, affairs, and divorce of Frank Sinatra and his second wife, movie legend Ava Gardner. It’s our third installment of Ocean’s 11: Twelve Degrees of Frank Sinatra, and this one’s got all the #trashcandy.

Then, it’s Dolly Parton’s birthday today, and to honor the queen of our hearts, we get into the start of her career, when country superstar Porter Wagoner plucked her from obscurity to be his “Girl Singer.” Seven years later, her split from him drove him off the stage and into a courtroom, but Dolly would always love him anyway.

Can’t get enough #trashcandy? Join us at Patreon.com/TrashyDivorces for early ad-free releases, bonus divorce stories, weekly Trashy Tidbits, limited series like Trashy Tudors, Funne with Dunne, Side Pieces, and a whole lot more.
