The CW has found its Beauty in Smallville‘s Kristin Kreuk.
Kreuk will play the lead role in the network’s pilot Beauty and the Beast, TVGuide.com has confirmed. The adaptation, loosely based on the 1980s CBS series of the same name, will feature a love story with a procedural twist.
This role will mark Kreuk’s first starring role since she left Smallville at the end of Season 7.
The Vampire Diaries, Cassidy Freeman and Ian Somerhalder
Proving that you can’t keep a good bad girl down, Smallville alum Cassidy Freeman returns to The CW to bedevil another crazy-hot cast. “I guess they’re trying to tell me something,” says the former Tess Mercer with a laugh. “When I was cast on Smallville, I was like, ‘Really? Evil angry girl?’ Because I can’t stop laughing in real life.”
In the March 15 Vampire Diaries episode — a flashback to 1912 — Freeman plays Sage, a bloodsucker with ties to the Originals, as well as Ian Somerhalder’s Damon. “She [is] really aware of what being a vampire is and owns it,” says Freeman, who says it “has been a dream to play a vampire” and that she was “jumping for joy” when she got the part. Sage will also resurface in modern-day Mystic Falls with a murky agenda. “She comes back for good reasons, but she is [out] for herself.” – TV Guide
The Vampire Diaries stars are Smallville alums too. Paul Wesley (Lucas Luthor) was in Season 2′s Prodigal and Ian Somerhalder (Adam Knight) was in Season 3′s Crisis, Resurrection, Obsession, Velocity, Hereafter, Delete and Asylum.
Smallville Fans Rejoice! New Comic Book Series, SMALLVILLE SEASON 11, to Pick Up Where Show Left Off
Fans of the smash-hit TV series Smallville haven’t had much to cheer about since the show ended its critically acclaimed 10-year run on The CW last May. That’s all going to change with the upcoming new comic book series from DC Entertainment: SMALLVILLE SEASON 11. Written by former Smallville show scribe Bryan Q. Miller, the new digital first series will be published digitally on April 13, 2012, with new digital chapters released weekly thereafter. Additionally, the online chapters will be offered in a print periodical, along with an episode guide to the hit television series, with the first print issue released on May 16.
The new comic book series picks-up where the show left off (with Clark officially now as Superman!) and features other fan-favorite characters including Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, Chloe Sullivan-Queen, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and General Lane. The book features an all-star creative team – in addition to Miller, SMALLVILLE SEASON 11 creators include print cover artist Gary Frank (SUPERMAN SECRET ORIGIN), digital cover artist Cat Staggs and interiors by Pere Perez (BATGIRL).
“Six months after Clark Kent donned the cape and took to the skies to save Earth from Apokolips… enter Season 11!” enthuses Miller. “New allies abound! New enemies afoot! And old friends return where they’re least expected! Pere and colorist Chris Beckett have done a fantastic job of capturing the look of the show and the players, and Gary and Cat are knocking it out of the park on covers. I couldn’t be more excited to help give seasoned viewers and new readers an all-access pass to Clark’s first year in the cape.” – DC Comics Blog

Smallville‘s Justin Hartley (Oliver Queen/Green Arrow) is headed back to The CW fold with a plum gig on Hart of Dixie, sources confirm to TVLine exclusively.
The once (and future?) Green Arrow has targeted the role of Jesse, a charming Southerner and war hero who becomes a potential love interest for Rachel Bilson’s Zoe.
Hartley will turn up on Dixie this spring.
In the meantime, you can catch the actor in the Jan. 23 episode of Castle playing the boyfriend of a Kim Kardashian-like reality-TV starlet who is famous just for being famous.
I just uploaded the screencaps from the series finale of Smallville.

Thanks to Rick Marshall for this opportunity. And sorry I couldn’t do it myself but I am really happy Dan was able represent Smallville PH for me. Cheers!
Oh God, no. Clark had been through a lot in the last few years, but he simply couldn't abide being cast into an alternate universe where everyone was a complete slob. Surely Jor-El would sort this out.
It’s hard to believe that this will be the last standard episode review that I will ever write for Smallville. Even harder to believe is that this is the last normal-length episode any of us will ever see of this series. I don’t think that this is necessary a bad thing, as I enjoyed “Prophecy” far more than “Dominion”, and I didn’t exactly dislike that episode. On the other hand, I’m a little surprised that so much has been left up in the air to tie together in our last 90 minutes. There’s the now-in-jeopardy Lois and Clark relationship, Lex’s return, Lionel’s fate, Chloe’s send-off, Oliver’s journey back toward the good side, Martha’s appearance, Jonathan’s resurrection, Darkseid, Apokolips, all the evil minions that have been teased all year long, and oh yeah…that whole Clark becoming Superman thing. How in the world all of this is going to be explained satisfactorily in one show – even a two-hour show – is just beyond me. I guess all will be revealed in a few days. But for now, I’ll try my best to stay focused on the episode at hand and not let the sadness of this series actually being over in three days get me down in the process. As I said, I quite enjoyed “Prophecy” for what it was. I didn’t think it was a home run, but there were some things in it that I think had to be dealt with before we head into the finale, and I can see why this episode was placed where it was in the chronology.
TV Guide has posted a scoop on Smallville‘s two-hour series finale.
Can you tell us anything about the Smallville finale? — Brad
Here’s what we can tell you: As Darkseid’s Apokolips speeds toward Earth, Clark and Lois will attempt to walk down the aisle — with a little help from Chloe and a little what’s-the-opposite-of-help from Oliver. But it won’t be that easy! Lois will find herself in peril yet again, in a scene that fantastically recalls one of the Superman movies. Meanwhile, back at the barn, you’ll see another scene that will make your spirit positively… float.
TV Line talks to Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders about the series finale of Smallville.
How did your plans for the Lex storyline change once you knew Rosenbaum would return?
Souders: In some ways it was pretty similar. He just would have been a puppeteer behind the scenes.
Peterson: It would have been a reveal at the end of the show, rather than seeing a good scene with him and Clark.Talk a little about Jonathan Kent’s return.
Souders: It will become really clear what role Jonathan plays and why he shows up the way he does in this episode. Every time I see certain moments with Jonathan, I get a tear in my eye.
Peterson: We purposely platformed Jonathan’s role in the finale with what we did in “Lazarus,” the premiere of this season. The whole point was to bookend the season, and he’s introduced in that same type of way.What can you tease about Chloe’s Smallville sendoff?
Peterson: There are a lot of different ways people want Chloe’s story to end, so we service her character in a way that is right for who she was and who she’s becoming. And she has one big moment with Clark where we get to see her shine.
Souders: Also, how she interacts with the mythology. And I will say that Chloe fans should definitely stay tuned through the whole show. There’s a jewel.
Peterson: There’s a certain thing we gave her that nobody else got.So much has been said and written about the finale…. Is there any particular reveal that you’re surprised hasn’t leaked out yet? And if so, any hints?
Souders: I’m kind of surprised everything hasn’t leaked!
Peterson: There’s one shot that leaked, in the Fortress, that I wasn’t surprised about because it’s a great shot. But we didn’t like that it leaked.
Souders: There’s a lot of moments throughout that we wanted to be sure people were watching for the first time. You know, once you see something, you start speculating, and when you get to that moment, it may not be anything like what was represented in that shot. It’s the last two hours, and we just want people to enjoy it.
TV Line has posted a scoop about a surprise cameo in the series finale of Smallville. Who could it be?
This is it Mike. Your last chance ever to give out Smallville scoop. Make it a good one worthy of the Man of Steel. —Joel
OMG, the pressure! OK, I’ve got two words for you Joel: Surprise. Cameo.

elisabeth_brj: Anything about Smallville‘s series finale would be good.
Just have your Superman patterned hankies ready. If Cassidy Freeman is going to cry, then you know you will be bawling, too. “I will cry! And I hope [the fans] cry tears of happiness,” she says to us. “It’s emotional. Anything ending after 10 years…It’s a long time. But that is why we have DVD box sets!” And that’s also why we have box sets marathons.
TV Guide talks to Michael Rosenbaum about his return to Smallville as Lex Luthor.
What does Lex do?
Hmmm…his plan of cloning spare parts worked, only there’s a big twist. And there is a first-time ever scene with my sister Tess [Cassidy Freeman]. I also have a great scene with Clark [Tom Welling] that will launch them each into their destinies as adversaries.
This was your first time meeting Cassidy? We love her.
Yeah. And she is great! I was like, attracted to her! We were working on a scene and firing back-and-forth, and people were saying how it was like we’d been working together for years! I remember three years ago, her agent, who was my old agent, called and said, “Hey would you talk to Cassidy? She’s replacing you.” And I said, “First of all, nobody replaces me.” [Laughs] I said, “She’s not a replacement, she’s a new character…and yes, I will talk to her.” And when she asked for advice, I just told her to go up there, they’re all amazing and that she was gonna love it. Three years later, we’re finally meeting face-to-face.
This scene with Tom…is this the roots of President Lex Luthor?
You know, I’m not gonna answer that. [Laughs] You’re just gonna have to wait.
