Carrie Underwood’s Hubby Sings Her Praises

It’s no secret that Carrie Underwood has thousands of devoted fans, and it’s pretty apparent her husband Mike Fisher is one of them. In case you missed it, Mike took to Instagram to gush about his wife, and all that she does on stage, and off.

“If I had a dollar every time someone on tour said ‘I don’t know how she does it’ I’d be rich:),” he writes next to a video of her performing on her “Cry Pretty” tour. “I wish everyone could see how she does it.”

He then goes on to detail Carrie’s busy day, which includes getting up with baby Jacob during the night, making sure everyone’s fed, working out, soundcheck, getting ready for the show, meeting with fans, taking the stage and more.

“It really is amazing how she does it all,” he adds. “Hard work is more important then talent in everything and she has loads of both but the short answer of how she does it is that God’s given her a crazy voice and determination (and energy) to be able to do what He’s called her to do!”

Mike adds, “I love watching her do her thing and showing people the gift that God’s given her. He’s the only explanation to the question “I don’t know how she does it.””

Documentary Being Made About Dolly Parton’s Movie “9 To 5”

The classic Dolly Parton/Jane Fonda/Lily Tomlin movie “9 to 5” is going to be the subject of a new documentary. “Still Working 9 to 5” will look back at the legacy of the 1980s comedy and will feature new interviews from the three stars of the film, as well as stars of the stage musical and 80s TV series it inspired.

The film will also look at the sexual politics and workplace issues highlighted in the film that are still prevalent today. As Dolly notes, “It’s 40 years now and it’s still important.”

And while everyone knows Dolly’s classic theme song, the documentary will feature new music and original score written by GRAMMY winning songwriter Shane McAnally.

The hope is to have the film out in time for the film’s 40-year anniversary next year. A Kickstarter campaign is currently underway to raise money for the documentary.

 

 

Dolly Parton On The #MetToo Movement, And Harassment She’s Experienced

Dolly Parton admits she has experienced forms of harassment in all her years in the business but says she’s “more fortunate than most women have” been.

“I’ve certainly been harassed in my life. I’ve certainly had to put up with a lot of BS. I was always strong enough to walk away from it and not to have to fall under it,” she tells “Elle” magazine. ‘I was lucky that I was in a good country town, where the men in the business have wives, and sisters, and cousins, and children.”

She adds, “It’s not like out there in the big world, like in California, where they chew you up and spit you out, or in New York, where they don’t have time, or in other big cities.” She also says that she was always strong enough, “to stand on my own or to say, ‘Go to hell,’ if that’s where you needed to go.”

As for the #MeToo movement, Dolly notes, “I think that brought so much stuff to the forefront that people had not been willing to look at, even though they knew it was happening.” Although she believes women “are in a better place now than they’ve ever been before,” she insists, “We still have a lot of the same problems. I think that we just have to keep working at it.”

Dolly was also asked which actress she’s love to see play her in a biopic of her life and she joked, “That depends on when I get it done,” although she does mention Scarlett Johansson and Reese Witherspoon.

Dolly is celebrating her 50th Anniversary as a member of the Grand Ole Opry this weekend, and the milestone will also be marked with an NBC special this fall. “Dolly Parton: 50 Years at the Grand Ole Opry” is set to air November 26th from 9-11 p.m. ET. The special will feature fellow musicians Dierks Bentley, Emmylou Harris, Chris Janson, Toby Keith, Lady Antebellum, Margo Price, Hank Williams Jr. and more.
