Big Bang Theory Producer’s Pot Dispensary Comedy
The Big Bang Theory writer/producer Chuck Lorre is shopping a script for a multi-camera comedy set at a legal marijuana dispensary.

The script, which was co-written by Lorre and former head writer of The Daily Show David Javerbaum, has been sent to broadcast networks and possibly Netflix.

Tina Fey and Ronda Rousey Team Up for ‘Do Nothing Bitches’
Ronda Rousey and Tina Fey will co-star in an upcoming comedy.
Deadline reports that Do Nothing Bitches comes from Paula Pell, the screenwriter behind the film Sisters, which also co-starred Fey.
The idea behind the film, however, actually comes from Rousey. In an Embedded interview last summer, Rousey espoused her feelings about certain women, turning the movie's title into something of a pop culture trend. It's this phenomenon that leads to the concept behind the film. That is, according to Deadline, "a female-empowerment tale dealing with wealthy pampered wives who get a rude awakening at a camp where Rousey plays the no-nonsense instructor."
