Los Angeles:
Pop star Miley Cyrus is so keen to play country music legend Dolly Parton in a movie about her life that she has been bombarding Dolly with audition tapes.
Miley is doing everything she can to convince the Jolene singer, but Dolly refuses to play favourites.
Miley is concerned that the role will go to actress Scarlett Johansson, reports contactmusic.com.
"Miley is bugging Dolly for the role," said a source.
"This movie is her legacy, and she told Miley she doesn't have the acting chops to pull it off.
"Dolly is holding out, though, and isn't 100 per cent on Scarlett either. She'd consider Kristin Chenoweth or even Jessica Simpson," added the source.
