Reba seeks Dolly

Reba McEntire is actively trying to recruit Dolly Parton for her hit series “Reba.”

“We’re working on a script for Dolly,” McEntire said. “It can be nothing less than perfect for Dolly. I would love it if it could happen this season.”

McEntire has been trying for years to get the country diva on her comedy show. But Parton has been particular about what she does on television, McEntire said.

“She says yes she will do it but only if the story is right. I said, ‘Dolly, it wouldn’t be given to you until it is perfect. Your standards are so high.’ I am such a huge fan of hers.”

McEntire was to begin work on “Reba” early this month. It usually ranks as The WB’s top Friday-night show and sometimes the network’s most-watched series of the week.
