Charlie Sheen's 'Anger Management': Denise Richards To Guest Star In New Show

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards will soon reunite -- onscreen.

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Wednesday that Richards has secured a guest spot in the soon-to-air "Anger Management," Sheen's first major TV project since he was ousted from "Two and a Half Men" in March 2011.

In the series, debuting June 28, Sheen portrays a professional baseball player-turned unlikely anger management therapist. Richards will play Lori, a business partner of Sheen's on-screen ex, TV Line reported Wednesday.

The soon-to-be costars have come a long way since Richards filed to divorce Sheen in April 2006 after three years of marriage. In the divorce docs, Richards accused the actor of drug abuse and threatening to kill her, People reported at the time. Fast forward nearly six years, and in January 2012 -- shortly after the pair were photographed vacationing in Mexico with daughters, Sam, 8, and Lola, 6 -- Richards told "Access Hollywood" that she and Sheen had "actually become like brother and sister."

The pair, who've previously appeared together in "Two and a Half Men" and "Spin City," aren't the first famous ex-couple to bury the hatchet and work together onscreen. Click through the slideshow below to see other exes who've done the same.

Is Denise Richards a hanger-on? She seems to desperately want someone/anyone to pay the bills.

Winning by letting your drug habit lose you a 2million a week salary? What do we call losing then?

In the photo, they look like the most charming couple ever. Hoping Charlie can get it together and keep it together.

Just hope Charlie can keep up the integrity of the friends relationship with his ex and kids and keep it in is pants when with them. Maybe all his troubles has grown him.

To be admired and applauded. Everybody deserves a few new chances,
and hope springs eternal. Good luck to them and their children.

I admire them for swallowing their pride and making an effort to get along. It is much better for the children. After a particularly nasty divorce, my ex and I have made a pact to be friends and life is SO much easier not being a hater.

Likewise (I admire them). Have never gone through a nasty divorce but I imagine coming out on the other side not hating each other must be one heck of an accomplishment.

She has to take whatever roles she can get. She's no Meryl Streep.

Denise knows a paycheck when she sees one.

And probably a hell of a lot bigger than yours.

Why so negative?
As regards to the paycheque, don't we all?

Thinkin' this probably won't end well.

Funny. I was thinking the opposite. They've both been on quite a journey and seemed rather seasoned and wiser for it. I don't know if after what I've heard they ought to get married again - but brother and sister - seems like the best of both worlds.

I guess we'll see.
