"Spirit" Guest Revealed
Playing "Dawn Stiles" in Smallville's Prom episode "Spirit" is an actress named Beatrice Rosen.

Ms. Rosen was set to star in the WB's Commando Nanny sitcom which was cancelled before it ever even aired. She was one of the stars of the movie "Chasing Liberty."

Jensen Ackles As The Flash?
A rumor report on Dark Horizons has stated that Jensen Ackles (Jason) may have more than just a series pilot on the way.

The article claims that Ackles is "in discussions" to play the role of the Flash in a movie to be directed and written by David S. Goyer (Blade: Trinity). The movie will have no connection to the "Run" episode of Smallville, where Kyle Gallner played the role of future Flash Bart Allen.

We stress that this article has not been confirmed by official sources, nor does it mean Ackles would definitely be taking the role. It hasn't even been announced whether or not Ackles is staying with Smallville! But, if you want to read the complete article, click here.

Rosenbaum Is "Cursed" This Weekend
Michael Rosenbaum (Lex) is featured in the new Wes Craven film "Cursed" which hits theaters this weekend. Michael plays a character named Kyle. Also in the movie are Christina Ricci and Joshua Jackson.

Michael filmed this movie last year. When Michael received a letter from Craven inviting him to be in the movie, he ended up framing it, as Craven is one of his idols and Craven's "Nightmare on Elm Street" is one of his favorites. "I did my Freddy Krueger impression, thinking, 'Wes is a freak who's cool and loves slasher flicks'," Michael told Teen Hollywood. "I was wrong. He just looked at me and said, 'Yeah. Okay. It's very nice to have you here.'"

O'Toole & McKean Spotted At AFI Independent Spirit Awards

Krypto - Recruit

Real-Life "Krypto!"
Special thanks to: Pete Pappas & Max

Some fans of the Superman comic book series might have been disappointed that the dog seen in "Krypto" was not the breed of dog they were used to. Unfortunately, the original "Krypto" wasn't a very good actor and thus had to be replaced.

We (well, at least KryptonSite webmaster Craig) think "Shelby" did a fine job... but if any of you are curious what a real-life Krypto may look like, check out the dog of Pete Pappas. His name is "Max." And upon receiving his picture in our e-mail box, we had to share it!

The New York Times Looks At Smallville
The New York Times today posted an article (registration required) talking about Dr. Swann (Christopher Reeve)'s place in the Smallville mythology. The article then went on to talk about the origins of Smallville, and featured quotes from folks like Paul Levitz and Smallville's executive producer Alfred Gough. You can click here to read it.

Some highlights:

DC Comics President/Publisher Paul Levitz talked about what makes Smallville special. "The novelty of what Miles and Al did was that wonderful, harmonic relationship between Clark's growing up and Lex's growing up. You know where they're supposed to end up, but you keep wondering whether Lex doesn't end up good," he said.

About Lois in Season Five: "We think there's a good chance," Mr. Gough said carefully, "but we don't know yet."

And in response to Margot Kidder's interview at the Superman Homepage where she talked about her refusal to return in this week's episode "Sacred," Gough had this to say: "We're sorry she chose not to come back," he said. "We certainly don't think what we were asking her to do was exploitative. Christopher Reeve was a big part of the mythology of Smallville."

Gough also mentioned another Lois Lane he'd like to see on the show. "We'd love to have Teri Hatcher, but I don't think that will ever happen," Gough said, referring to the actress who is again a hot commodity thanks to Desperate Housewives. Al, if you're reading - Dean Cain's not busy (hint! hint!) - catch that boat before it sails away!

The Hollywood Reporter tonight posted that Jensen Ackles (Jason) will star alongside Jared Padalecki (Gilmore Girls) in a new TV pilot titled Supernatural. The pilot is being prepared for the WB with hopes to use it as a companion piece to Smallville.

If Jensen takes this role and this show goes to series, could his Smallville days be numbered? Stay tuned and we'll try and find out. At this point no announcement has been made about Jensen Ackles' future on Smallville, so we can only speculate at this time.

Margot Kidder Talks About Not Returning As Dr. Crosby
The Superman Homepage's Barry Freiman caught up with Margot Kidder (Dr. Bridgette Crosby) at the 2005 Cult TV Superhero Celebration Superhero Expo. He asked her some questions about her Smallville role and why Dr. Crosby was written out of the upcoming episode "Sacred." Keep in mind there may be some spoilers within this article, but then again, since the storyline has been altered they might not be spoilers after all...

"We had a contract problem and so I will not be returning," she said. "They offered me a part and then, for various reasons, I ended up saying 'no'."

She then goes into further detail and says "I thought it was quite exploitive and I said so, but they (the Producers) didn't see it that way. I mean, Christopher was my friend so to go on and do a scene where I announce his death on Smallville so that they can get publicity, it just seemed to me to be exploitive, personally. Probably didn't to other people and so it just didn't work. If you're going to get me to be exploitive, you're going to have to pay me an awful lot of money."

Click here to read the full interview with Kidder's thoughts on the new Superman movie, recollections of her role as Lois Lane, and more!

Keep in mind that this interview is from Kidder's perspective and that the producers may have decided not to go forward with Dr. Crosby for reasons of their own. The interviewer also makes several biased comments about Smallville that are a bit unprofessional in this otherwise interesting piece.

"Pariah" Makes The TV Guide Watercooler
TV Guide's Damian Holbrook included Wednesday night's Smallville in his "Watercooler" rundown of the good TV he saw on the previous night. Here's what he had to say about "Pariah":

"Aside from the fact that Lois reminds me way too much of Julie Cooper on The O.C., I am right there with this show. It's so clever without being smart-alecky. Chloe blames Lana's attack on Alicia's "meteor-induced powers" and nobody bats an eye! And Jane Seymour as the baddie is terrific with a capital English Breakfast T. Even if her Mommy Dearest act with Jason gives me the bad-touch willies, I dig that there's someone else stirring up Metropolis other than Lionel, you know? It's just too bad about the time slot. This one deserves a bigger audience. And we deserve to have better dramas on the other nights of the week."

You can click here to see what else Holbrook was buzzing about. Thanks to Rob for the tip.

Battle of the Lexes!
Michael Rosenbaum (Lex) appeared on Last Call With Carson Daly earlier this week, and in the appearance he told the host about an encounter he recently had with actor Kevin Spacey, who is playing Lex Luthor in the 2006 Superman movie.

"All of a sudden, I feel a tap on my shoulder, and he was like, 'Well, if it isn't the former Lex Luthor'," Michael said. "And I turn around, and I go, 'Yeah, I'm playing him before he's fat and ugly.' And he just looked at me - he's like, 'Real cute, Rosenbaum, real cute'."

Not sure we like the "former" Lex Luthor comment, but Michael does deserve kudos for the witty comeback.
