Tina Fey's followup to Mean Girls will be....

From JoBlo.com:
Hottie SNL scribe Tina Fey has struck a deal with Paramount to write CURLY OXIDE AND VIC THRILL, a comedy based on the true story of an unlikely friendship between a Hasidic Jew and a rock musician. I know exactly what you're thinking - huh? As the story goes, Chaim, feeling trapped by the notoriously traditional Hasidic life, made his way to a bar in Brooklyn where he heard the rowdy performance of indie rocker Billy Campion (whose stage name is Vic Thrill). After expressing admiration for Campion's music, Campion invited Chaim to a recording studio to lay down a few tracks. Chaim took to music instantly, took on the stage name Curly Oxide and spent the next two years on tour with Campion, in the process becoming an underground hit. Fey originally heard the story on National Public Radio, after which she effectively campaigned for the rights to their story.
