Given her busy workload both in front of the camera and behind it as a writer and producer, we're not sure Tina Fey really qualifies as a "do nothing bitch". But she's on to produce and take the lead in a comedy with just that title, and Ronda Rousey on board to co-star.

Do Nothing Bitches, which Universal is backing, represents a reunion for Fey and her friend/Sisters screenwriter Paul Pell, with the latter writing the concept of a camp for spoiled, lazy wives who get something of a rude (and probably physical) awakening from Rousey's no-nonsense instructor.

It's the latest project for Fey, who starred in Sisters this festive season and has war comedy Whiskey Tango Foxtrot due here on April 22. She's also part of the creative team for Netflix comedy Unbreakable Kimmmy Schmidt, which is due to return to the streaming service on April 15 for a second season.

As for Rousey, her UFC career took something of a hit after she lost her most recent bout, but she's been busy developing a fledgling film career after appearances in Fast & Furious 7 and Entourage. She starts shooting a Road House remake in April and is attached to both a biopic based on her life an action thriller Mile 22, which has Peter Berg on board to direct.
