Laura Bell Bundy to Replace Selma Blair in FX's ANGER MANAGEMENT

Broadway's former Elle Woods will soon be shacking up with Charlie Sheen.

Laura Bell Bundy is officially set to replace Selma Blair in FX's Anger Management as a series regular, it was announced today.

Bundy will take on the role Dr. Jordan Denby, Charlie's new sex study partner. The character is described as "a brilliant psychologist whose recent divorce, fondness for alcohol and wild mood swings turns Charlie's life into an emotional roller coaster."

In June, TMZ reported that Blair had a serious 'disagreement' with Sheen, accusing him of being unprofessional and a 'menace' to work with. The report also stated that when Sheen got wind of Blair's complaints to show executives, he fired the actress himself and informed the show's crew that he would not show up for production that morning if Blair was on set. The firing reportedly came via text message.

On Broadway, Bundy originated the lead role of Elle Woods in the Broadway musical LEGALLY BLONDES for which she received a Tony Award nomination. She also originated the role of Amber Von Tussle in the Tony-Award winning Broadway musical HAIRSPRAY and played Glinda in the SMASH hit WICKED.

Offstage, Bundy has appeared in films including THE ADVENTURES OF HUCK FUNN, LIFE WITH MIKEY, and JUMANJI. She appeared in the 2006 film adaptation of DREAMGIRLS, as well as in television with a recurring guest stint on the hit CBS comedy HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. Her first album, Longing for a Place Already Gone, was released in 2007 and her sophomore album, Achin' and Shakin', was released in 2010.
