Introducing: The new Charlie’s Angels!

A remake of the iconic 1970s series about three crime-fighting hotties and their mysterious boss Charlie is being filmed in Miami Beach and Miami.

It stars (above, from left to right) General Hospital’s Annie Ilonzeh, 27; former Friday Night Lights star Minka Kelly, 30; and Aussie Rachael Taylor, 26.

Taylor (left), who had small roles in flicks like Transformers, plays the daughter of a Wall Street crook who’s an expert thief herself.

Kelly, also known as New York Yankees star Derek Jeter’s main squeeze, plays a former Marine who’s the crew’s hand-to-hand combat guru.

And Ilonzeh, who was on the soap General Hospital for the past year, is the series’ martial arts hot shot.

The three were cast in January. ABC is scheduled to premiere the show in the fall.

Rumor is that Hollywood legend Robert Wagner will be Charlie, although that has yet to be confirmed.

Incidentally, the project is bankrolled by Drew Barrymore, one of the angels with Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu on the two Charlie’s Angels movies.

It remains to be seen whether these newbies can hold a candle to the originals: Farrah Fawcett (below, left), Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson.

Aretha Franklin shocked concertgoers Tuesday night at Hard Rock Live, on the grounds of Hollywood’s Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The Queen of Soul, who turns 68 next week, has been struggling with her weight for years. Two years ago, she slimmed down substantially, telling People magazine that weight issues had vanished during a treadmill workout regimen. But one observer at Tuesday’s performance who has seen Franklin in several concerts over the past decade said she’d never appeared this plus before.
