HOLLYWOOD - Actress Selma Blair is in talks to play one of the lead roles in the U.S. version of Australian TV comedy Kath & Kim.

The Hellboy star is set to appear in the NBC adaptation of the hit dysfunctional-mother-and-daughter sitcom as Kim Craig, joining actress Molly Shannon, who has already been cast as her on-screen mom, Kath, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
