Ever think Denise Richards and Selma Blair were spitting images of each other?

Yeah, us neither!

Selma has officially joined the cast of FX's new Charlie Sheen comedy Anger Management, and FX tells us two roles have just been cast: Charlie's therapist and his ex-wife.

So who's playing what?

Selma will play the role of Charlie's slightly neurotic therapist, and Charlie's ex-wife will be played by Shawnee Smith, from the Saw franchise.

Charlie's ex-wife is called Jennifer on the series, and she is a beautiful woman who doesn't quite have it together, and also the mother of their teenage daughter.

The provocative and risky (have you seen what Charlie Sheen has been up to the past year?) comedy series, which was pitched to a wide array of networks, is set to begin production in March and will air in June on FX.

So...Do Shawnee and Denise bear any resemblence? Will "Jennifer" be anything like Charlie's real-life ex-wife? And most importantly, will this show continue to give Charlie the self-proclaimed right to dump on the new Two and a Half Men?

We'll find out when Anger Management premieres this summer on FX.
