Jan. 6 2012, Published 12:04 p.m. ET
Dolly Parton is always on her goddaughter Miley Cyrus' side. But the country music icon is worried about the 19-year-old and what she's doing behind closed doors.
The former Hannah Montana star was caught on camera smoking cigarettes and salvia, then she admitted she's a "stoner" and recently she cursed out a fan who just wanted a picture with her. But is Miley spiraling out of control?

"I remember myself at her age. We've all been a bit too hard on her," Dolly tells Parade of Miley. "I hope she holds it together because there's a world of things she can do. She should keep an eye on things and make wise decisions."
In fact, Dolly says Miley reminds her of "a little Elvis" and thinks she has all the potential in the world. But, what does Miley think?

"My job isn't to tell your kids how to act or how not to act, because I'm still figuring that out for myself," Miley said in a 2010 interview with Harper's Bazaar. "To take that away from me is a bit selfish. Your kids are going to make mistakes whether I do or not. That's just life."
