Country superstar Dolly Parton is on a mission to pile on the pounds - because she's determined to prove she isn't suffering from any eating disorders.

The Nine To Five singer, famous for her surgically enhanced bust and small waist, insists she is perfectly healthy and blames her overly-concerned pals for sparking fears about her slender figure.

The 62-year-old says, "People are telling me I'm too skinny now, so I'm going to gain 10 or 12 pounds. They worry about me - but I'm healthy."
