Dolly graces the cover of this week’s Country Weekly magazine, talking about her new Joyful Noise film. When asked why she took the part, Dolly says, “I only take parts that I can do that are close to my personality because I don’t know if I could play anything outside of my basic personality.” Dolly also opens up on the dance scenes she was required to do for the film, saying those were the most difficult aspect of making the movie for her. “I was more nervous about that than anything,” Dolly confesses in the article. The issue is out on newsstands now and also includes a fold out poster of the movie.

In related news, the Joyful Noise soundtrack debuted at the #1 spot on the Billboard Soundtrack chart and at #21 on the Billboard 200.

After months of anticipation, Joyful Noise is finally set to hit theaters nationwide THIS FRIDAY! The film stars Dolly alongside hip-hop powerhouse Queen Latifah in an upbeat, musically-driven, comedy about the two womens’ very different ideas on running a small town gospel choir. Dolly plays the fiery G. G. Sparrow who feels the choir needs to freshen things up by putting a gospel spin on more modern, pop songs, while Latifah’s character, Vi Rose Hill, is insistant on sticking to the choir’s more traditional arrangements. Tensions mount between the two as G. G.’s grandson Randy, played by Jeremy Jordan, falls in love with Vi’s daughter Olivia, played by Keke Palmer.

Joyful Noise marks Dolly’s first major motion picture role in almost 20 YEARS! Celebrate Dolly’s return to the big screen by taking your friends and family to go see Joyful Noise THIS WEEKEND!
