PARTON OF THE WAYS!

Dolly's family jockeying for slices of her $650M fortune

COUNTRY icon Dolly Parton fears her massive $650 million estate will trigger a ferocious family feud with dozens of kinfolk battling for a piece of the pie after she meets her maker, according to sources who say she's crafting a peace-making will.

While Dolly, 78, and hubby Carl Dean, 81, never had kids, eight of Dolly's 11 siblings are still living, and they have given the Jolene singer dozens of nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews who lovingly call her "Aunt Granny!" That's why the singer says she's been carefully plotting out her legacy and drawing up a will to prevent greed from ripping her family apart, says a mole.

"I would not want to leave that mess to somebody else," Dolly says. "You don't want to leave that mess to your family for people to fight over.

"You need to take care of that yourself, even if it's a pain in the ass, and it is!" Still, the 9 to 5 singer finds herself in an uneasy position of being pestered by relatives wanting to know how much, if anything, they will inherit and making sure they stay on good terms with the superstar, an insider tattles.
