Loud and Queer

Dolly!

Legendary country singer Dolly Parton is returning to the big screen in a new movie musical with lesbian icon Queen Latifah.

In the upcoming “Joyful Noise,” the duo play two women hoping to stop a small-town gospel choir from shutting down. I am imagining it as “Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit” but with a little more sass and bigger breasts! Bravo!

Forty-year-old Latifah, who earned an Oscar nom for “Chicago,” will play a mama of two who heads up a choir following the choir director’s death, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Parton, 64, plays the choir director’s widow, who also wants her late husband’s job.

The Queen!

Parton, who appeared in hit ’80s films like “9 to 5” and “Steel Magnolias,” hasn’t made a major motion picture since the 1992 comedy “Straight Talk.”  Unlike the first two movies mentioned, “Straight Talk” was a straight stinker.  I mean, just bad…

In July, she hinted to Entertainment Weekly that she had an upcoming project, “I might even possibly do a movie soon… I don’t want to say what it is yet, but I’ve got a real good offer, and if it comes through, I’ll probably start a movie in October to have a movie out next year.”

The questions about rapper/actress Queen Latifah’s sexuality have always circulated around.Often when asked in interviews about her sexuality, Queen Latifah did the job of keeping her personal life private without going into detail nor confirming or denying if she was gay.

Most recently Queen Latifah was asked the question on whether she was gay in an issue of Upscale Magazine and she simply responded by saying, “I don’t have to explain anything. I don’t have to confirm anything. Look, I need my time. I need my life.”
