With Kirstie Alley admitting that she regained the 75 pounds she lost and Lindsay Lohan showing off a rail-thin figure in Hawaii this week, Dolly Parton understands how hard it is to maintain a healthy weight.

See the weight ups and downs of Lindsay Lohan.

"I'm up and I'm down, but I don't have any tips for anybody," the country singer told Usmagazine at the Broadway opening of 9 to 5: The Musical in NYC Thursday. "It's a bitch any way you look at it. You either starve or you get fat."

Find out how your favorite stars get fit.

Parton, 63, admitted that she doesn't exercise much -- aside from "a tiny little bit of squats and sit-ups" -- but is still conscious of the scale.

"I'm very short, so I just have to watch my weight because I have a big appetite," she told Us.

She added that instead of dieting, it's all in how you dress.

"You need a good push-up bra -- and wear clothes that make you look good," she said.

Parton -- who came to Jessica Simpson 's defense when her weight was scrutinized earlier this year -- was also disappointed that the 28-year-old singer was dropped from her country label, Sony Nashville this month.

See photos of Jessica Simpson through the years.

"I think that's sad because she is a fabulous singer," Parton -- who collaborated with Simpson on the star's country debut album, Did You Know -- told Us. "They dropped me from the label too, but I just started my own label. So maybe you'll get Jessica Records next?"

    Dolly is not fat. Jessica Simpson was not fat at all.

    It's a shame that Dolly would make such a statement. Everybody that's skinny isn't starving themselves (I'm a witness) and every person that is "fat" isn't overeating. It has a lot to deal with genetics, metabolism, etc. That statement can be hurtful to many and it just continues to suggest untrue, unfounded stereotypes and assumptions.

    Anyone who agrees with Dolly's statement, "You starve or you get fat" should REALLY do some rethinking. No, that is NOT the truth. I study nutrition and exercise for my degree, and am a healthy eater and exercise often - you do not have to starve, and you will not get fat if you eat the right foods in the right portions for your body and exercise regularly.

    Dolly has ALWAYS been a very classy lady. Anyone who would suggest otherwise just doesn't know her.

    Dolly is not a nasty person Samantha, she's one of the greatest females around. You are so ignorant to believe other wise. Yes, Dolly has had a boob job, but she had them removed years ago!!! She's a 100% women and a very nice lady!

    those of you who think her boobs are fake - she's had them forever. Where (and why?) would she have gotten a boob job 50 years ago?
