New 'Charlie's Angel' Minka Kelly Walks Her Dog In Sexy, Off-The-Shoulder Blouse
We spotted Minka Kelly wearing an off-the-shoulder top and shorts enjoying an outdoor meal by herself while walking her dog in New York City this week.
The actress was recently named the celebrity with the "Sexiest Beach Body" by the Victoria's Secret hot list.
She stars in the upcoming "Charlie's Angels" reboot. Set in Miami, this action-packed take on the 1970s hit series introduces three new angels. There's Abby (Rachael Taylor), a Park Avenue princess who became a world-class thief. There's Kate (Annie Ilonzeh), a Miami cop who fell from grace, losing both her career and her fiance. Finally there's Gloria, a disgraced army lieutenant who has a way with explosives. When one of the angels' missions ends in Gloria's tragic death, Charlie persuades them to partner with Gloria's childhood friend, Eve (Minka), a street racer with a mysterious past.
Robert Wagner Drops Out Of 'Charlie's Angels' Remake
The "Hart to Hart" star had taken over from John Forsythe as the voice of Charlie in the ABC remake, which will air later this year.
A statement from a production spokesman reads, "Due to his scheduling conflicts, Robert Wagner will need to step away from his duties as Charlie on Charlie's Angels."
Producers are now looking for another well-known TV personality to play crime agency boss Charles Townsend.
Minka Kelly, Derek Jeter Split
Minka Kelly and Derek Jeter have struck out after three years of dating.
The 37-year-old Yankees shortstop and the 31-year-old "Charlie's Angels" star, whose relationship began in 2008, confirmed to Just Jared on Friday (August 26) that they've split. Representatives for the notoriously private couple were open to the gossip site about the breakup.
"The split was amicable," sources told Just Jared. "But they remain friends. They still really care for each other."
The couple dodged engagement rumors over the course of their relationship and rarely spoke about each other to the press. When they did, it would often be on the defensive, like when Kelly was interviewed by GQ. The couple was frequently spotted in public together. Kelly was in Yankee Stadium in July for Jeter's 3,000th career hit, and she appeared in the documentary "Deter Jeter 3K," which premiered on HBO last month.
Jeter has become known almost as much for his celebrity relationships as he is for his baseball prowess. After debuting as a rookie for the New York Yankees back in 1996, he has become a tabloid regular. First, there was his well-publicized relationship with Mariah Carey from 1997 to 1998. After dating former Miss Universe Lara Dutta, singer Joy Enriquez and actress Jordana Brewster, Jeter had an on-again, off-again relationship with "TRL" host Vanessa Minnillo from 2003 to 2006. He and Jessica Biel briefly dated for three months back in 2006, and then Jeter became involved with Kelly. He's also been attached to celebrities like Scarlett Johansson, Tyra Banks and Jessica Alba.
By contrast, Kelly has had a far more subdued dating history. When she jumped into public awareness after the 2006 premiere of "Friday Night Lights," Kelly was linked with actors Chris Evans and Donald Faison. She briefly became one of the many actresses to date John Mayer, though they only stayed together from September 2007 to January 2008. Kelly's relationship with Jeter was her longest celebrity hookup to date.
Minka Kelly Career
When she was 19, after graduating from Valley High School in Albuquerque, NM, Kelly returned to Los Angeles.[4] While on a test shoot for a modeling agency, she was approached by a former Playboy Playmate interested in managing her, and who placed Kelly as a receptionist at a surgeon's office who would provide Kelly breast augmentation in exchange for hours worked. She ultimately decided against the procedure, leading to her being fired.[4] However, the exposure to the medical field prompted her to attend school for a year to become a surgeon's assistant; afterward, she worked as a scrub tech.[4] She spent four years in that vocation while also auditioning as an actress before landing the new NBC television drama Friday Night Lights, based on the high school football movie of that name.[4] In the interim, she had small roles in movies and shows, including the film State's Evidence, and a recurring guest role on the TV sitcom What I Like About You.[3]
In preparation for her role as cheerleader Lyla Garrity on Friday Night Lights, she trained with the Pflugerville High School cheerleading squad.[2] Kelly received praise for her acting on the series, with The New York Times calling her performance "heartbreaking."[6]
She shot a cameo for The Kingdom, alongside Jamie Foxx. Peter Berg, the creator and pilot director of Friday Night Lights, directed the film.[7] Kelly was the lead actor on The CW's 2009 pilot Body Politic, which did not go to series. Kelly was a member of the ensemble quartet that starred in the CBS comedy pilot Mad Love, playing Kate, a Midwestern girl who falls in love with Henry at the top of the Empire State Building, but was replaced by Sarah Chalke.[8]
Kelly appeared with Alyson Hannigan, Jaime King, Emily Deschanel, and Katharine McPhee in a video slumber party featured on FunnyorDie.com to promote regular breast cancer screenings for the organization Stand Up 2 Cancer.[9]
In 2010, ABC announced that Kelly would join the cast of the upcoming remake of the television series Charlie's Angels.[10] That same year, Kelly also was named "Sexiest Woman Alive" in the annual Esquire magazine feature.[4] She accepted a role in the Off Broadway play Love, Loss, and What I Wore for an April 27 through May 29, 2011 run with Conchata Ferrell, AnnaLynne McCord, Anne Meara, and B. Smith.
