The Jolene star admits she's more than aware of new reports questioning her friendship with longtime pal Judy Ogle but she tells U.S. news show Nightline she's not a lesbian.

Parton states, "Judy and I have been best friends since we were, like, in the third and fourth grade ... We still just have a great friendship and relationship and I love her as much as I love anybody in the whole world, but we're not romantically involved."
