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.

Lappin

Put on your hip-waders for this one.

The federal lawsuit brought against Palm Beach Pops maestro and founder Bob Lappin by former orchestra general manager Jill Kaplan is oozing some serious sleaze.

With the case headed to a July trial, the revelations of sexual shenanigans at the highbrow orchestra — including late-night nudity and sex at the institution’s West Palm Beach office — are coming fast and furious.

And so is evidence that include receipts for battery-operated sex toys that the maestro allegedly bought for ex-underling Kaplan!

There are also depositions about the usage of such toys, the number of times the maestro received oral sex and public displays of affection in front of musicians.

“We are vigorously defending the claims,” said attorney Keith Sonderling, who represents both the non-profit orchestra and the 71-year-old Lappin.

Kaplan, 49, filed a federal lawsuit a year ago alleging that Lappin, who’s also the orchestra’s CEO, dangled the non-profit’s health benefits as incentive to keep her on the job so that they could continue their affair.

Woods

Former Tiger Woods mistress Joslyn James, a stripper and porn star who said she was impregnated twice by the then-married Jupiter Island golfer, re-entered relative anonymity since the Woods scandal faded away into cultural history.

But with the Honda Classic golf tournament in Palm Beach Gardens over the weekend, James popped up an hour south, in Miami Beach, and showed beyond a reasonable doubt that, when it comes to dudes, she moved on (above and below).

James gave new boytoy Duan King, a tatted out wannabe model who moved to SoFla from Los Angeles, a tryout run — and Page2Live’s shutterbug caught it all.

James, 33, is best known for releasing hundreds of racy text messages that she said came from Woods.
