Ronda Rousey Tina Fey

The comedy will be written by Paula Pell, who worked with Fey on ‘Sisters’.

It’s an unlikely pairing, but comedian Tina Fey and former UFC champ Ronda Rousey are set to team up together on the big screen for a new comedy. Titled Do Nothing Bitches, the script will be written by Paula Pell, who also penned Sisters, and is based on an interview Rousey gave last year about female self-worth.

Ronda Rousey is set to star opposite Tina Fey in Do Nothing Bitches.

According to Deadline, the film is ‘a female-empowerment tale dealing with wealthy pampered wives who get a rude awakening at a camp where Rousey plays the no-nonsense instructor.’ The idea came from an interview Rousey gave in the summer that has so far generated more than 3 million hits on YouTube.

It was probably one of the most devastating defeats in UFC history, but Ronda Rousey is putting on a brave face following her unexpected knock-out at the hands of the new UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm.

Ronda Rousey will always be a winner

Undefeated, having finished some spectacular fights in both her Strikeforce and UFC career with her quickest defeat standing at just 14 seconds in the first round via her trademark armbar, fans reacted with shock when Holly Holm delivered an outstanding knock-out kick in the second round.

'Entourage' Movie Finally Sees The Light Of Day [Trailer And Pictures]

With such a great cast of cameos during its time on HBO, 'Entourage' had better have something impressive lined up for its feature film. Luckily, it certainly does.

Cameo appearances can make for some of the greatest moments in movies. Remember seeing Alice Cooper in 'Wayne's World'? Stan Lee in 'Mall Rats'? Mike Tyson in 'The Hangover'? Or, possibly the greatest cameo of all time, Bill Murray in 'Zombieland'? Well, for a show set in and around Hollywood, based on the exploits of rapper/actor/executive producer Mark Wahlberg, it was understandable why HBO's 'Entourage' has more than its fair share of A-list cameos.

'Entourage' is set to hit US theatres on 5th June, 2015.

Over the course of its seven-year runtime, 'Entourage' racked up a very impressive list of cameo performances, including Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Hefner, Peter Dinklage, James Cameron, Seth Green, Snoop Dogg, Peter Jackson - you get the idea. There were an awful lot of people getting involved in 'Entourage', so it stands to reason that when the trailer for the feature adaptation launched, people were eagerly looking to see who would be making an appearance outside of the main cast.

Entourage - Teaser Trailer

After making a name for themselves in Hollywood, Vincent Chase and his entourage of friends from Queens have finally made a movie. The only problem is, that after securing the chance to direct the film for 100 million USD, the film has gone over-budget by 15 million. The money is being put up by a wealthy Texas billionaire, yet the catch is that he really wants a return on his investment. Chase and the gang have to ensure that the movie is a hit - otherwise, they'll have one angry producer and one murderous billionaire on their backs. That probably won't go away, even if they just move back to Queens.

Danger and disaster might be what these guys live their lives by, but have the team finally met their match?

'Expendables 3' Star Ronda Rousey Talks Female Comic-Book Characters

By Nick Hill in Movies / TV / Theatre on 17 August 2014

Ronda Rousey

The UFC bantamweight champion expresses her annoyance towards female comic-book superheroes usually being the weakest character.

UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is one of the many stars in Sylvester Stallone's 'The Expendables 3,' which is her first role in a major motion picture, and she portrays one of the toughest female characters ever seen on the big-screen.

Rousey amongst the rest of 'The Expendables 3' cast

It is no surprise that the 2008 Olympic bronze medallist in judo suits her character very well, but this undoubtedly doesn't follow the usual stereotypical female characters cinemagoers have seen in the past. Rousey is getting tired of this, especially in comic-book movies.

The Expendables 3 Review

By Rich Cline

Good

Striking a tone somewhere between the po-faced original and the silly Part 2, this rampaging action nonsense is badly overcrowded and chaotic, but there's plenty of comedy and whizzy stuntwork to keep the audience entertained. It of course helps a lot that the film is packed to the rafters with iconic actors and lively newcomers. And their sassy dialogue helps make up for the idiotic plot.

It opens with a prison break, as Barney (Sylvester Stallone) and his team (Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture and Terry Crews) rescue their old cohort Doc (Wesley Snipes) then head off on a mysterious mission that turns out to involve their presumed-dead nemesis Stonebanks (Mel Gibson), who is targeting Barney's team. So Barney and his pal Bonaparte (Kelsey Grammer) set about finding four new commandoes (Kellan Lutz, Ronda Rousey, Glen Powell and Victor Ortiz) to take on Stonebanks, but of course nothing goes as plan. For the final face-off they're joined by the old team, CIA boss Drummer (Harrison Ford), former colleagues Trench and Yin (Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jet Li), and chatty newcomer Galgo (Antonio Banderas).

The ever-increasing cast means that some characters can't help but be pushed into the shadows (Crews and Li are barely in this film), while others hover around the edges of scenes injecting moments of sarcastic wit. Each of the characters gets his or her moment of eye-popping action, as the film lurches from set-piece to set-piece in a whirl of bombs, bullets and blades. All of this is fun because the actors are gleefully refusing to take any of this seriously. The scene-stealers this time are Gibson, terrific as the swaggering villain, and Banderas, who's hilarious as the only person who can string a sentence together.

Rousey plans on juggling her UFC career alongside her new movie career

Rousey told FOX 8 recently that she plans on juggling her new acting career hand-in-hand with her fighting career, admitting that she doesn't think that holding the two jobs will be particularly difficult. The MMA star, who already has a part in the Expendables 3 lined up, told FOX 8; "If I was going to have three jobs and train at the same time, then I can have one other job and train at the same time. Kind of like a different location, it's going to be kind of difficult. I can multi-task, I do it all the time."
