Has Charlie Found His New Angels?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Prime Time, ABC,

Casting for ABC's upcoming Charlie's Angels reboot is reportedly close to being finished.

Last week, Annie Ilonzeh (middle picture) was the first woman chosen for the action series. Now, it's being widely reported that Minka Kelly (far left) and Rachael Taylor (far right) will soon be kicking butt alongside her.

Although Ilonzeh has appeared on Entourage as one of Turtle's assistants, she is best known to soap opera viewers as Maya Ward on General Hospital. Annie will shift from ABC daytime to primetime as Kate -- a smart and athletic ex-cop with martial arts skills.

ABC Moving Forward with Charlie’s Angels Reboot

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, ABC, Video,

What was rumored about over a year ago is now coming to fruition (as if there was any doubt).

A Miami-set version of Charlie's Angels has now reached pilot stage for ABC. The reboot of the classic series will be handled by two of the producers from the movie installments (Drew Barrymore, Nancy Juvonen) and Leonard Goldberg.

Smallville creators/executive producers Al Gough and Miles Millar will also share producing duties.

No actresses have yet been tapped for the update, but Gossip Girl's Mark Piznarski is being considered as a possible director.

Network TV Goes Green: Old Shows Recycled

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Action, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, CBS, NBC, Gossip, News,

This doesn’t bode well for upcoming TV seasons. NBC, ABC and CBS are all following the same environmental trend: they’re recycling. However, these network TV additions won’t reduce emissions or help us in an energy crisis - if anything, it’s just going to bring down the value of network TV.

All three networks will be re-hashing the 1970s by bringing back The Rockford Files (NBC), Charlie’s Angels (ABC) and Hawaii Five-O (CBS). They’re following a current trend in Hollywood, where everything old is new again. Even Betty White is experiencing a somewhat renewed popularity.

This opens the door for all sorts of other 1970s shows. Someone, somewhere, is getting ready to re-pitch Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo and Feather and the Father Gang.

Farrah Fawcett Loses Battle with Cancer

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: News, Video,

Farrah Fawcett, the iconic blonde star with the never-to-be-forgotten poster, died today in a California hospital. She was 62.

The actress’ death comes after a nearly three-year long health battle. Despite being declared free of anal cancer in early 2007, the disease quickly returned. A recent NBC special documented the star’s quest for alternative treatments.

Although she will most likely be remembered as Jill Munroe, one of the original Charlie’s Angels, Fawcett actually chose to move on from that series after only 22 episodes. (A few more guest appearances followed.) After a few disappointing stabs at a film career, Farrah earned critical praise when she returned to the small screen. Memorable turns in several television projects - including The Burning Bed and Small Sacrifices - eventually earned Farrah a number of Golden Globe and Emmy nominations.
