Drew Barrymore – ABC's Charlie's Angels reboot

Entertainment Weekly confirms that Siega has completed the deal to direct the pilot, but has not included information on whether he will direct subsequent episodes of the show. Charlie's Angels will bring back Drew Barrymore and Nancy Juvonen as executive producers, as they were on both the 2000 and 2003 movie versions.

From Sony Pictures TV and Drew Barrymore's Flower Films, the new ABC pilot reboot of the classic 1976 'Jiggle TV' series "Charlie's Angels", created by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts, has now cast their 3 'sxy sleuth' leads : Annie Ilonzeh ("General Hospital"); Minka Kelly ("Friday Night Lights"); Rachael Taylor ("Transformers").

ABC's Charlie's Angels reboot: Unlike the original 1970s series, where the team of private investigators were disgruntled graduates of the police academy, the update currently has the crime-fighters as a trio of not-so-angelic criminals. in the pilot, Charlie brings them together and offers an opportunity to redeem themselves — by working for him, of course.'

Script is written by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar ("Smallville"), who also executive produce along with Nancy Juvonen and original "Charlie's Angels" TV producer Leonard Goldberg. the pilot will be directed by Marcos Siega ("The Vampire Diaries").

The premise of the show will remain the same as the original series, with three women who work as private investigators for a mysterious, unseen man named 'Charlie Townsend' (Robert Wagner), who only communicates with them through a speaker box.

Justin Long upset at nude scene being deleted

Actor Justin Long was devastated when his nude scene in the Going the Distance movie were deleted.

"I worked out for months getting ready for that one nude scene. I wanted to make sure I didn't embarrass Drew! I put a massive effort into getting buff - and now the scene ends up on the cutting room floor," femalefirst.co.uk quoted him as saying.

Despite being upset about the scene getting chopped, Justin claims he adored working with co-star Drew Barrymore.

"She's everything. She's beautiful and insanely funny and working with her I got to see a side of her that I hadn't seen before," he said.

"I hadn't known her in a professional capacity before and the way she treats people on set just made her so much more beautiful."

I want a calming romance

Drew Barrymore has confessed that she now craves "easy" and "calming" relationships.

The 35-year-old actress, who is rumoured to be dating Going The Distance co-star Justin Long, told Bang Showbiz that she no longer desires romances that require a lot of effort.

"When you're young you just want to be in love," she explained. "I call it crazy love, because you just want to have fun and you're not thinking about the future or kids. You just want to have a good time with that person.

"Then, as you get older, even children aside, you just think, 'God, I actually like when it's easy, and I want these attributes from this person. I need these kinds of systems in place to feel calm'."

The Whip It director also revealed that she can't stand partners that don't live up to their promises.

"[I go for] someone who, when they say they are going to do something, does it. I really, really am attracted to any person, personally or professionally, who keeps their word."

Last month, Barrymore claimed to have lost count of the number of times she has been hurt by men.

My life is a disaster

Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore says that despite her good organisational skills behind the camera, her real life is a disaster.

"My real life is a disaster, it's absolutely nuts. I'm just a mess. I'm never organised, I lose everything," contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.

Barrymore directed the 2009 film Whip It, starring Ellen Page, but admits she's on a look out for another script.

"As a director, I'm really trying hard to find something I fall in love with again because it's a really long, intense job that you work on every day for the next three years.

Barrymore became more beautiful

Justin Long has admitted that he got to know a different side of his girlfriend Drew Barrymore on the set of Going The Distance.

The actor, who has been dating the actress off-and-on for several years, insisted that Barrymore appeared "more beautfiul" to him when he saw her professionalism and kindness at work.

Speaking to Us Weekly, the 32-year-old said: "She's so funny, insanely funny. But I also got to see a side of her during this movie, which I hadn't seen, because I'd never known her in a professional capacity.

"I got to see how she treated the people that she's working with and it made her so much more beautiful. She's lovely to everyone - to PAs, studio people, no matter where you are in the hierarchy. It's rare."

Long recently revealed that he and Barrymore have battled many obstacles to keep their romance alive.
Going The Distance debuts in US cinemas on September 3.
