Actress Annette Benning and her husband, Hollywood legend Warren Beatty, will be on opposing sides in a celebrity version of WWF smackdown featuring famous couples.

The keen wrestlers have signed up to take part in Smack My Hollywood Bitch Up, to be shown on Fox TV this upcoming Thanksgiving.

Beatty's tag team will also feature Nick Lachey and John Goodman, whilst Benning is joined by Jessica Simpson and Roseanne Barr.

The idea was dreamed up by TV presenter Oprah Winfrey who will executive produce the show.

Oprah has promised a 'fantastic festive family event' and said it 'will be fun for all the family'.

The teams will compete for a $1 million jackpot which will go to their charity of choice. TV Executives predict that the show will attract a large holiday audience enticed by the promise of 'glamour and gore'.

The show will be presented by American Idol host Ryan Seacrest and the former Quantum Leap star Scott Bakula.

Seacrest told Mr Damian 'There will be plenty of talent in the ring, and competition is likely to be fierce, make no mistake, both sides are playing to win. It's going to be awesome.'

The Newlyweds will be going at it hammer and tongs
