Country music star Dolly Parton says she is eager to collaborate on an ‘Old Town Road’ remix with Lil Nas X.
Dolly Parton is the public's bearer of sad news.
During the red carpet premiere of her new Netflix series, "Dolly Parton's Heartstrings," the country music star, 73, spoke to Entertainment Tonight about the anticipated sequel to her popular and beloved 1980 comedy, "9 to 5."
"I don't think we're going to do the sequel," Parton said. "We never could get the script where it was enough different than the first one, and that one turned out so good."

Parton and her former co-stars Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda have "dropped that whole idea."
Although the sequel seems unlikely to happen, Parton consoled fans by stating that the trio is still open to collaborating together in the future.
"We're thinking we might do a completely different thing together, Jane, Lily and I," Parton shared. "We may do something different altogether, but I don't think we'll continue with [the sequel]."

"All these years we've talked about doing a sequel to 9 to 5, but it never made any real sense," Parton said. "Until just recently [with] all the equal work for equal pay and all the harassment in the workplace [backlash] -- we decided that we are going to try to do another one."
Parton's schedule has been packed with her working on "Dolly Parton's Heartstrings" and celebrating 50 years as Grand Ole Opry member.
