Laura Bell Bundy is at it again! According to the Hollywood Reporter, the stage and screen star (and creater of the popular webseries Cooter County) has been hard at work on a new webseries, titled Skits-O-Frenic. In the first episode, she is joined by her fellow Anger Management star, Charlie Sheen. Bundy told THR: "Essentially what I wanted to do with Skits-O-Frenic is create an online variety show."

Debuting at age 9 in the Radio City Christmas Spectacular was the fuel to the fire. Since then, she has originated the roles of "Tina Denmark" in Ruthless The Musical, "Amber Von Tussle" in Hairspray, "Elle Woods" in Legally Blonde, and took a turn as "Glinda" in the smash hit Wicked. She has earned numerous nominations for her performances, including a Tony Award nomination for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical, an Outer Critics Circle nomination, and Drama Desk nominations.

In addition to dominating Broadway stages, Laura Bell has also been spotted in front of the camera, appearing on network television shows such as Cold Case, Veronica Mars, Home Improvement, Malibu Country,"Becky" on How I Met Your Mother, a recurring role as "Shelby" on Hart of Dixie, and her current lead role as Dr. Jordan Denby on Anger Management. She also played the disgruntled teen "Marah Lewis" on Guiding Light. Taking television to the big screen, Laura Bell's film work includes Dream Girls, Jumanji, Life with Mikey, The Adventures of Huck Finn, CMT's first original movie To The Mat, Watercolor Postcards and Hallmark's Dear Dumb Diary.

Throughout her time on Broadway, television, and film, Bundy remained true to her roots. With country music in her DNA, she began writing country music at the age of 14 and started her first band at 18.

Laura Bell's 2010 album on Universal Records, Achin' and Shakin' was heartbreakingly personal and joyfully rowdy. "Two records, one woman is my motto," jokes Laura Bell, who penned all but one of the songs on the album. Her breakout hit from the Shakin' set was "Giddy On Up" which reached #31 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Charts and landed her a show stopping performance on the 2010 Academy of Country Music Awards. "Giddy On Up" was also featured on the popular video game Just Dance 3. "Shakin' was the party and Achin' was the hangover."

Now as a Big Machine Recording artist, she is pushing those music boundaries even more. Her 2013 single "Two Step" featuring Colt Ford, answers the age-old question of what happens when you combine HOT, country, dance tracks and hip-hop beats. Laura Bell is also teaming up with Nashville producer, David Huff, to create a series of mix tapes entitled, 'Beats & Banjos.' These mixes include mash-ups of popular country songs with well-known country, pop and hip hop beats. Each tape features an LBB original as well and can be heard at soundcloud.com/laurabellbundy.
