What a birthday present!

Yesterday, Dolly Parton turned 66 and she unveiled a present that everyone can share.

The music legend is launching plans to build a $50 million water-snow theme park! Dolly opened up her first theme park, Dollywood, in 1986 and added a water park next to it in 2001.

The new water and snow wonderland will be near the Smokies in Tennessee and Dolly will partner with Grand Ole Opry owner, Gaylord Entertainment.

The new park is expected to open in 2014.

And we have to say, she makes a pretty fair point!

Dolly Parton recently spoke out on behalf of Miley Cyrus, claiming that the pop star has often been criticized by the media unfairly!

Dolly is on a roll lately!

Last week, we saw the trailer for Dolly Parton's upcoming movie Joyful Noise, which hits theaters this January!

Now, Dolly has announced that she's writing her life story, in hopes of sharing it with the world as a BROADWAY MUSICAL!

Here's what she had to say about it:

"I'm writing my life story as a musical for Broadway. I probably won’t be in it but I’ll find a way to introduce it somehow, maybe the older me."

"9 to 5 didn’t make it on Broadway but it didn’t sour me. I learned all this stuff from it."

Not only that, but Dolly has ALSO spoken about the possibility of bringing Joyful Noise to Broadway:

"Joyful Noise would make a great Broadway show so maybe I’ll write music for that!"

We love the ambition, Dolly, and we'll DEFINITELY check out UR autobiographical musical when it hits the stage!

Good Luck!!!!!

Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton are going to church together.

For Joyful Noise, the two musicians are part a church choir that wants to win a national competition.

Of course, But they will have some differing opinions along the way.

Others set to appear in the film include Keke Palmer, Jeremy Jordan and Kris Kristofferson.

Check out the trailer for the film after the jump!

The film is set for a January 12th release.

The soundtrack will also be available as well.

There's no denying that gurl's still got it!

P.S. We CANNOT wait for Ms. Parton's return to the big screen! Have U seen the Joyful Noise trailer yet???

This is an interesting twist.

Lifetime will be remaking Steel Magnolias (the 1989 movie starring Sally Field, Dolly Parton and Julia Roberts) and will be giving the movie an all-black cast.

Kenny Leon, the director of the 2008 ABC movie A Raisin in the Sun, will be directing this version in which the movie will be set in Louisiana and will be set among a group of women in present day.

The 1989 version is pretty flawless so it will be hard to remake such a classic.

We wish them all the luck though!

Our dreams are coming true! This is going to be AMAZING!

Dolly Parton is returning to the big screen, and will be featured alongside Queen Latifah in the upcoming flick Joyful Noise, which focuses on an "unlikely partnership between two strong-minded women who are forced to work together to save a small town gospel choir after budget cuts threaten to shut them down."

Ch-ch-check out the just-released theatrical trailer (above)!

Man, oh man!

We couldn't be mored excited to see these two together!

And the MUSIC! SO GOOD!

Welcome back, Dolly! And don't you EVER leave us again!
