Minka Kelly In 'Charlie's Angels': 'Friday Night Lights' Star Cast

Derek Jeter is going to have to share: Minka Kelly is now one of 'Charlie's Angels.'

The former 'Friday Night Lights' star has been cast in an as yet unnamed role as one of three lady spies in the ABC reboot of the 70's TV series and early 2000's movie franchise, according to TVLine.com.

She'll play a character that was once intended to be a neat freak, hand-to-hand combat fighting weapons expert named Marisa. Now, they're reworking the role to fit the actress.

It's a potentially good choice for ABC and producer Drew Barrymore (who starred in the film series), as Kelly is gaining renown, both for her acting (including a recent role in 'Parenthood') and looks -- she was named Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive in 2010.

She's also Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter's longtime girlfriend.

REmake of Hawaii Five-O (terrible), remake of V (terrible), remake of this, remake of that.

Is this really the best we can expect?

Good grief.

I am skeptical with Barrymore involved.

She's going place. Derek is hitting .270. Will she stick around?

Minka Kelly is no actress, but all she really needs to do is stand there and wear skimpy clothes. Same with all the Angels in history. If she can jiggle, so much the better. Don't know why anyone bothers studying acting anymore.

They have to rework a role on Charlie's Angels to fit an actress?

There's so much crud on T.V. now, how much worse can this be?

Now for the question we are all dying to ask: who will play Bosley?

I think they are trying to target younger viewers. Previous show partrons are probably in their 50's or 60's now, moms and grandmas.

There is just no chance this show can be any good.

This article was posted right under the one about Charlie Sheen starting a "porn family", so I thought this lady was Charlie Sheen's new angel - and porn star. HP might want to reconsider the positioning or headlines.

She can't can't act. So, yeah, great choice! Worked out for Farrah and Cameron Diaz.

Why does that even matter? This is Charlies' Angels, not Sophie's Choice.

Just because something isn't Sophie's Choice doesn't mean you fill it with garbage actors. There's plenty of women that can act that would do well in these goofy roles.

She doesn't need to act. She just needs to bounce.

It's "The Fugitive" script all over again:

Successful TV show. Years later, successful movie. Reboot of TV show crashes and burns.
