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!

What do U think?? Are U gonna check out Joyful Noise??

The response to our new book has been overwhelming!

We were very nervous about how The Boy With Pink Hair would be received, but it's been so heartwarming to see that it embraced with welcoming hands (buying the book)!

And, we've gotten some amazing quotes from a very eclectic group of celebrities, who read the book and love it too!

Here's what they have to say:

"I wish, when I was young, I had a book as touching and beautiful as this to teach me about the journey of self-acceptance." - Lady GaGa

"When I was little my mother said to me, 'Cher, different is just another word for special.' My mother was right and so is Perez. This is an adorable tale full of whimsy and meaning!" - Cher

"A story that will resonate with any child who has ever felt weird or different. (It's a) wonderful way to tell our children it's important to celebrate each other's differences and the things that make each child unique and special." - Gloria Estefan

"…A beautiful story about dignity, self-esteem, and the importance of parents' unconditional love. The social healing process begins when we focus on these values when raising our children." - Ricky Martin

"… A precious little story about being special, being accepting, understanding, tolerant and above all saying it's okay to be different." - Dolly Parton

"Whether it's pink hair or a little individuality, everybody has the right to be who they are, no matter what others say. " - Selena Gomez
