Another Big Guest Appearance For Michael McKean
Sadly no news of a Smallville return, but Michael McKean (Perry White) will be appearing on another popular television series by month's end.

Because this show has a following that may not appreciate being spoiled, click here for more details.

John Glover To Emcee Alzheimer's Fundraiser
John Glover may play a magnificently evil you-know-what as Lionel on Smallville (no, we don't buy the "reformed" act), but in his personal life Glover has done a lot of charitable work to help others, particularly in benefits for the Alzheimer's Association. Every year Glover participates in the annual Memory Walk, which last year raised $25,000 thanks to "Lionel" and his legions of fans who donated to the cause.

Next up for Mr. Glover will be the Alzheimer's Association Greater Maryland Chapter's Memory Ball on April 9. It will be held at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel.

The ball committee homes to raise $125,000. "Whenever a celebrity lends his name to an event, it is always advantageous," chairwoman Patricia Mitchell told the Towson Times' Loni Ingraham. "John Glover has been so wonderfully generous with his time."

For information about the ball or to make a donation, call the association at 410-245-4270. You can also read more information by clicking here.

Smallville Season 4 In The Fall; L&C To Include New Teri Hatcher Interviews
A recent Home Theater Forum chat that was covered by TVShowsOnDVD.com revealed some of Warner Home Video's plans for the future.

First off, Smallville Season Four is currently planned for a Fall 2005 release. No further information is available there, so no need to ask, but that's the latest. We will let you know as soon as we find out anything more.

The first season DVD set for Lois & Clark (due out June 7 - click to pre-order and support this site!) will include new interviews with Teri Hatcher. Teri played Lois Lane on the series, which ran from 1993-1997, and she's now quite popular playing Susan on Desperate Housewives.

The chat also brought out new information about other DC Comics-based series. The Flash and "lots of great DC Comics-related product coming in your future!" were listed in the "potential titles for release" category. The 1988-1992 Superboy series "will be considered," but considering the rights are owned by the Salkinds, we kind of doubt that will happen as Warner Bros. has effectively blocked it from even appearing in syndication.

There are no plans yet for Shazam! boxed sets, and there was no answer given regarding a Birds of Prey DVD release, or regarding releases for Justice League or Batman Beyond season sets.

You can read the entire article here, and Warner Home Video, if you're reading - you put Enos on DVD and you'll be my hero. Seriously!

Michael McKean, Maggie Lawson Join Pilots
Smallville's "Perry White" and a guest from "Redux" have joined two pilots for potential television series.

Michael McKean has joined the cast of a series called Blue Skies. Blue Skies is about a 27-year-old (played by Scary Movie's Anna Faris) who is the "reluctant enabler" for her eccentric family. Maggie Lawson, the Freak of the Week from "Redux," is in an ABC sitcom called Crumbs.

The Fall 2005 schedules will be announced in May, so we'll know then if these shows will hit the air. If Michael McKean's sitcom gets picked up, it could limit the chances of a Perry White return on Smallville.

Another "Ageless" Guest!
Playing "Evan at 7" in the upcoming Smallville episode titled "Ageless" will be Colin Ford.

Interesting trivia: Colin played the younger brother of Eric Johnson (Smallville's Whitney) in the film "The Work and the Glory."

Smallville To Be Honored At Jules Verne Festival
Smallville will be honored as one of the greatest science fiction series at the 2005 Jules Verne Film Festival. The Festival is named after legendary science fiction author Jules Verne.

In attendance at the Festival will be Smallville creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, and actors from the show to be named later. April 7 will be their "Smallville Night Special" for the event which will be held from April 6-11 in Paris, France. Hopefully they won't run into any evil reincarnated witches while they're in Paris. Click here for more information, and congratulations to Smallville for the recognition!

Margot Kidder Interviewed For Lois Retrospective
Add another name to the Lois Lane retrospective scheduled for the Smallville Season Four DVD.

Margot Kidder, who played Lois Lane in four Superman movies and appeared in the Smallville episodes "Crusade" and "Transference," has also been interviewed for the Smallville Season 4 DVD set. She joins former Loises Noel Neill and Dana Delany, and current Lois Erica Durance.

A release date for the Season 4 DVD has not yet been announced. We'll let you know as soon as you do, but in the meantime, please don't e-mail us to ask because we don't know anything here.

Credit goes to the Superman Homepage for originally breaking the story of a Lois feature. The Margot information, however, is new.

New Kristin Kreuk Interview Online!
Special thanks to: Mark @ HNR

The Hollywood North Report website has posted a new interview with Kristin Kreuk by Robert Falconer. It is an extended version of an interview recently in Dreamwatch magazine.

In the interview, Kristin talked about her favorite episodes, her other series Edgemont, her hobbies, practical jokes, and more. Here's a sample of what she had to say:

"I think really through season one in general—and this is going to perhaps seem like a vague answer—I was struggling a lot with the character of Lana because I couldn’t relate to her fully, and I would think back to my acting classes that I took all through high school where we had free reign over characters. We took those characters and created them by ourselves, and we made them into full people by writing up epic studies of their traits and giving them histories and so forth. With Lana I felt a little stuck because I was following what was on the page, and I remember discussing this with Allison [Mack] who has helped me a lot. And she said to me, 'Well it’s up to you to shape these characters. You can’t wait for someone else to do that for you. Then, the writers will follow your lead.' Which I didn’t understand at all [laughs]. So that’s a big lesson that I learned…and continue to learn in a lot of ways."

Season 4 DVD's To Include Lois Lane Retrospective
The Superman Homepage is reporting that a look back at the history of the Lois Lane character will be included on the Season 4 DVD set for Smallville.

The feature is said to include interviews with Erica Durance, Noel Neill (1950's Adventures of Superman), and Dana Delany (who played Lois in the 1990's animated series). Sadly, Desperate housewife Teri Hatcher isn't included on their list.

The Superman Homepage says the DVD will be out in September or October; but we think it's far too early for a release date to be announced or known, and we're sticking by our "Late 2005" prediction.

Michael Rosenbaum at Celebrity Hockey Game
Special thanks to: CookoftheHouse

Michael Rosenbaum participated in a 2005 Celebrity Hockey Challenge in Seattle over the past weekend. The Challenge raised money to benefit the Ronald McDonald House. Here's more of what Heather, a.k.a. Cook, who attended the game, had to say:

"This is THE charity for Rosenbaum; his brother Eric played with him for the first time this year; Michael was extremely gracious with his fans, extremely hilarious with Tom Arnold, and extremely comfortable on the ice; when he made his goal, they played "Save Me" over the speaker system; at one point, when Michael's team was behind, Tom Arnold said (both of the coaches had microphones with which to narrate the game) that he wondered if they could get Tom Welling to play next year; Michael's team lost 8-7, but everyone had a great time."

She also shared with us many photos from the event, so click here if you'd like to see the gallery!

Kristin Kreuk In Canadian TV Guide
Special thanks to: WTRM

Kristin Kreuk's hopes for Smallville's future are a bit rosier than her Lex Luthorian co-star.

"I think we'll be around for three or four more seasons, maybe even longer - who knows?" she says in the March 19, 2005 of the Canadian editions of TV Guide. (Interior content in Canadian TV Guide is different from what we have in the States - which means, while folks up north get nifty things like a "Jay and Silent Bob On Degrassi" cover, we won't).

Kristin also talked about her upcoming feature film, "Partition." "I'm so excited about 'Partition'," KK told TV Guide about her upcoming film, a love story set at the border of Pakistan and India.

"Ageless" Guests!
Special thanks to: Arista

The twins playing baby Evan in a sequence of "Ageless" will be Libby and Owen Stewart. Their mother posted the following account on their website:

"I had the opportunity to meet John Schneider aka Bo Duke! He's a super nice guy. We had a short chat about kids after he introduced himself. Then I met Tom Welling. Again, a super nice guy. During run through, he dropped the doll on the floor to freak me out. Yeah - very funny! Okay, it was a little funny once I realised it wasn't part of the actual scene. haha Libby seemed rather smitten by him. When we were filming as she stopped being fussy the second he picked her up. I also had a brief chat with Kristen Kreuk, who is also really nice. Annette O'Toole, yet another wonderfully friendly actress, and I had a chat about parenting and how cute the babies are."

Starlets Try To Re-Create "Visage"
Sunday night's episode of the WB's advertised-far-too-much-to-the-point-of-being-annoying The Starlet featured a some young wannabe actresses attempting to recreate a Clark and Lana scene from the episode "Visage."

Smallville Magazine #7 Cover!

Stay tuned for some details from the magazine.

"Lucy" Ratings: Oof.
Smallville just doesn't do very well in those end-of-or-right-after-sweeps episodes, as evidenced by "Scare" in December and "Lucy" here. The return of America's Next Top Model on UPN predictably flew right past "Lucy," no doubt helped by a fantastic marketing campaign and hype on several other networks. Top Model's ratings were the highest yet for a premiere for that show, which has resulted in "Lucy"'s ratings being in the dog house. If only UPN promoted Veronica Mars in the same way...

Or hey, maybe more viewers in the 8PM hour cared about Hurley than they did about Lois Lane's younger sister we'd never heard of before. It's too bad, though, as "Lucy" had some cool developments that will hopefully pay off later. Speaking of siblings, whatever happened to Lucas? Lex has made it sound like he's an only child a lot lately.

Here's the overnight-ratings breakdown:

(R) denotes repeat airing

Eric Johnson's Falcon Beach Goes To Series
Falcon Beach, the Canadian television pilot that aired on GlobalTV and starred Eric Johnson (Whitney), will become a regular series after positive reaction to the pilot movie.

If you're curious about the show, that for now is only available to see in Canada, "Falcon Beach is a one-hour drama series about a group of young adults summering in the lakeside resort town of Falcon Beach on Lake Winnipeg, an incredible setting of white sand beach, crystal clear waters, and a main drag moving 24/7 to the rhythms of summer visitors, nighttime revelers, and local hotshots looking for action." (Description courtesy of the show's official site)

Congratulations to Eric on his new role! And as always, anyone wanting the latest on Eric Johnson is invited to visit Eric Johnson Web.
