Third Angel Confirmed?

Given the hype that's surrounding the making of Charlie's Angels, it's surprising that an announcement made last week by a contender for Angel Number Three went relatively unnoticed. Lucy Liu - best known for her role as the evil Ling in TV's Ally McBeal - announced on an American chat show that she had landed the role. Seems like no-one was watching that particular show as few newsgatherers have pounced on the story and the film's Official Site still has to update its cast list. The third angel role fell free when Thandie Newton's commitments to Mission Impossible 2 meant that she couldn't make the Charlie shoot.
