(Feb. 2) -- TMZ has learned, director Lee Tamahori was scheduled to be arraigned today, on charges that he allegedly solicited an undercover cop while dressed in drag. Tamahori, whose directing credits include, 'Die Another Day,' 'XXX: State of the Union,' 'Along Came a Spider' and 'The Sopranos,' was arrested in Hollywood on January 8, 2006. According to law enforcement, Tamahori was allegedly dressed in drag, approached an undercover officer who was in his car, entered the vehicle and offered to perform a sex act for money.
Tamahori (the complaint reads "Tamahuri," but TMZ has confirmed it's the same person) was arrested, booked and charged with prostitution and unlawfully loitering with the intent to commit prostitution.
Tamahori arraignment was continued to February 24. Tamahori, who is being prosecuted by the LA City Attorney, is free on $2,000 bail.
We tried reaching Tamahori's lawyer, Mark Geragos, but he was unavailable for comment.

I bet he got busted on the corner of Santa Monica and Formosa....Transformer Central after 2AM. Same place Eddie Murphy got busted a few years ago.

Remind me not to eat at that restaurant.
What kind of a place greets people with a drag queen?

He was going to do a gay porn football movie, and call it "The Green Gay Packers."

There's a whole cottage industry in re-titling this movie with new names that sound like the inevitable hardcore gay porn version.
