Three well-known celebrities have joined the cast of a movie based on Dolly Parton’s childhood. Two are TV actors, but singer Jennifer Nettles is the third, and she's slotted to portray Parton’s mother.

Jennifer Nettles will return to the studio on Monday (May 18). The singer says she can't wait to begin focusing on music again after a short stint on Broadway.

Reba McEntire is getting ready for the release of a new studio album, and she's sharing a very special new track with fans.

Diva alert! Jennifer Nettles -- who served as the host of the 2013 'CMA Country Christmas' on Monday (Dec. 2) -- sang many songs through the evening. But perhaps her most powerful moment was her absolutely gorgeous duet with soul singer Mary J. Blige, 'Do You Hear What I Hear?'

Jennifer Nettles introduced the Kenny Rogers tribute at the 2013 CMA Awards (Nov. 6). Rogers was honored with the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award, but before he received his trophy, he enjoyed modern acts performing a medley of his songs before joining him in song.
