Charlie Sheen has been trying to get his life back on track after his erratic behavior ended his stint on "Two And A Half Men." The actor was able to land a contract with Lionsgate for his own FX show "Anger Management," and for the surprise of many, it was actually good.

However, drama seems to be a constant in anything Sheen does. This time around, Selma Blair, who was cast as a series regular after some reports claimed Charlie had pushed for her getting the part although she didn't go trough the first round of auditions, was fired after allegedly badmouthing the "Anger Management" star's work ethics to the producers.

"We are confirming that Selma Blair will not be returning to Anger Management and we wish her the very best," said the statement issued by Lionsgate back in June.

But not to worry, the show will go on with the help of Laura Bell Bundy, an actress and singer who's gotten more fame after starring in successful Broadway shows. She will play the role of Dr. Jordan Denby.

The character is described as a "brilliant psychologist whose recent divorce, fondness for alcohol and wild mood swings turn Charlie's life into an emotional roller coaster."

Dr. Denby, will eventually fall for Sheen's character and her love for the guy will come with plenty of self-loathing. Denby was reportedly conceived as recurring role, though it's believed that she will be a series regular.

Bundy will begin shooting Anger Management this week. The new season of the FX series should hit the small screen at some point later this year.

Although she might not be a household name yet, she's far from being a newbie in this business, and we've gathered some cool facts about Bundy that will make you want to tune in and indulge in some "Anger Management."

1) The actress is probably best known for playing Shelby on The CW's "Hart of Dixie." She also played a recurring role on CBS' "How I Met Your Mother" and appeared on the day-time soap "Guiding Light."

2) She actually originated the role of Elle Woods in Legally Blonde on Broadway, which earned her a 2007 Tony Award nomination.

3) Bundy is a talented singer who will release her first single on Aug. 19 through country label Big Machine Records in Nashville.

4) She's currently on tour with Rascall Flatts.

Besides Bundy, Brian Austin Green, who has previously appeared in a handful of episodes, has also been added as a series regular. His character is described as a "male foil" to Charlie Sheen.
