Comedians Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence are teaming up for a new gender-bending movie - the pair will play drag queens in upcoming comedy Sheneneh And Wanda.

The funnymen will slip on stockings and stilettos to play cross-dressing bank robbers.

Foxx will write the script and will produce the film with Lawrence through their Foxxhole and Runteldat production companies.

It seems that sooner or later every major film actor has to don a skirt for a part.  It must be some rite of passage for them.  While I'm not particularly fond of any of them, "To Wong Foo..." was sweet.

Thank Goddess that they haven't done a remake of "Some Like It Hot". (OMG! What have I done?!?!)

It will surely happen. I really don't mind that, I just wish that whoever is cast is "passable". the problem I had with the original is that it strained my suspension of disbelief that anyone would ever have bought those two as GG's
