In an upcoming movie from Universal and Adam Sandler's Happy Madison production company, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry , Adam Sandler and Kevin James play two straight, single Philadelphia firefighters who devise a way to get health and other spousal benefits, they pretend to be a gay couple.  

"I'm in the middle of shooting that now, and I'm having the best time of my life. I mean, it's just fun. We're having such a good time. And Adam (Sandler) and Kevin (James) and everybody, they're just fantastic. Comedy is so fun. It's so different. It was hard to keep a straight face a lot of the time. I'm loving it. I'm really having a good time." Said rising star Jessica Biel to Rebecca Murphy at AboutMovies.com

The co-star of "The Illusionist" (out on DVD January 9) with the talented actor Edward Norton, Jessica Biel revealed her role with the two funnymen:  "I am a gay rights attorney and I am Adam and Kevin's attorney defending them against the state, because they are pretending to be gay. Then I fall in love with Adam, but he's gay, so that's complicated. And he's falling in love with me, but I'm his lawyer, so... (Laughing) It's sort of a really funny, interesting little plot line going on."

The Minnesota born Biel has been romantically linked recently to Derek Jeter, and is involved with charities such as Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and PETA. Jessica currently resides in Los Angeles.

Universal plans on releasing I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry next summer.
