The world premiere of Warner Brothers' Pictures "Joyful Noise" was held last night, Monday January 9, 2012 at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA.

All of the leads in the film including Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton were present at the event ...and as you may have guessed, this film is a musical with comedic overtones. Although the "Queen" was present, it was Dolly who stole the show, and the headlines, as this is her first non-cameo screen acting role in 20 years.

Parton looked gorgeous in a cleavage-baring tight frock that she paired with a cross necklace and bejeweled sandal heels. The 65-year-old songstress finished off her look with hot pink polish on her nails. Latifah, meanwhile, looked simple-but-chic in a green dress and a pair of brown shoes.

Other names present at the premiere included Viveca A. Fox and Paula Patton as well as the Cyrus clan including Billy Ray Cyrus, Brandi Cyrus, Leticia and Noah. No Miley though, (Dolly's Goddaughter) as she must have had prior commitments. (photos by © 2012 Joe Martinez / PictureLux)

About The Film:

Oscar® nominees Queen Latifah ("Chicago," "Hairspray") and Dolly Parton ("Transamerica," "Steel Magnolias," "Nine to Five") star in Alcon Entertainment's and Warner Bros. Pictures' "Joyful Noise," a funny and inspirational story of music, hope, love and renewal.

The small town of Pacashau, Georgia, has fallen on hard times, but the people are counting on the Divinity Church Choir to lift their spirits by winning the National Joyful Noise Competition. The choir has always known how to sing in harmony, but the discord between its two leading ladies now threatens to tear them apart. Their newly appointed director, Vi Rose Hill (Latifah), stubbornly wants to stick with their tried-and-true traditional style, while the fiery G.G. Sparrow (Parton) thinks tried-and-true translates to tired-and-old.

The film is set to be released in U.S. theaters on January 13, 2012.
