Dolly Parton

Country icon Dolly Parton will return to the big screen in the film "A Joyful Noise" which co-stars Queen Latifah. The movie is set to hit theaters on January 12th.

The movie centers around two women who have to work together to keep a gospel group from falling apart, after the choir director passes away. Dolly, who is the wife of the choir director, is in search for his replacement for the choir. Queen Latifah will take over directing duties and also play a mother to two teens.

Dolly told Entertainment Tonight, ""It's very uplifting. Of course there's nothing more uplifting than songs about praise, because everybody -- especially in this day and time -- needs a little uplifting."

This is Dolly's first movie role since her 1992 film "Straight Talk." stars
