KryptonSite Is Still Here...
Those of you who may have caught the news on Monday may have thought that we were actually closing KryptonSite on the next day, among other headlines. No, we're still here, and every piece of news on April 1 was just one big April Fool's joke.

We now return you to your regularly-scheduled KryptonSite.

If you missed them, here are all of our April 1st headlines!

"Descent" Official Description!
The CW has released their official description for the April 17 episode of Smallville.

Check it out!

"Descent" Promo Images!
The CW has released six images from the April 17 episode of Smallville!

The episode is called "Descent"... and something very major happens in that one. The promo images seem to offer some major hints.

Major spoiler warning!

Also, don't forget to check out the gallery of screen captures that we posted last night!

Revealed: The Last Two Season 7 Titles!
On the KryptonSite Spoilers Page, we have now posted the titles for the final two episodes of Smallville's seventh season.

What are you waiting for? Take a look and see what they are!

Justin Hartley & Michael Cassidy Land CW Pilots
Both Justin Hartley (Green Arrow) and Michael Cassidy (Grant Gabriel) will be doing pilots for potential series for next season on The CW.

Today it was announced that Justin is going to be part of a medical series called Austin Golden Hour. Yes, this means no Green Arrow. While we wish the best for Justin, it's really sad that the network didn't sign him for the series he really should be doing.

Meanwhile, Michael Cassidy is signed to play the role of a nanny's boyfriend on a show called How To Teach Filthy Rich Girls. How many shows about rich girls does the CW need? Anyway... congrats to both Michael and Justin on their new gigs.

"Descent" Preview Caps!
Following the March 27 airing of "Veritas," The CW premiered a promotional trailer for the next episode of Smallville!

Airing on April 17, the episode is called "Descent"... and this trailer might contain some major spoilers so if spoilers are not your thing, you might want to stay away. Thanks to Rosey, we already have screen captures!

Inside you'll find an in-depth look at last season's "Justice," many photos from the show, and even some tidbits never before revealed - such as one of the unused endings for the sixth season!

Kristin Kreuk Addresses Her Smallville Future
Kristin Kreuk (Lana) addressed her fans via her online Facebook profile regarding her future on the show, from the rest of Season 7 to beyond. Here's what she had to say:

Hey Team...

So, I thought I would give those of you curious about Smallville a brief debrief. I am in Bangkok for a few more months. So, no shooting of the Ville for me. I will return for a undetermined, although small, number of episodes in season 8.

I am not really opening up the floor for lots of discussion, because it is not really the place for it. Obviously I have loved my time on the show, but I am equally as thrilled to move on to new endeavors. One of which is very dear to me, and that is GBD [Girls By Design]. So thank you all for your really fabulous support and passion!!! I hope this clears up most of the questions...

xoxo
Kristin

Thanks to Arelis for the tip. Kristin is currently in Thailand filming the Street Fighter movie.

The writers have voted, and now it can be announced that the writers will be back to work as early as Wednesday.

Smallville Nominated For Three Visual Effects Society (VES) Awards
Smallville has been nominated for three VES Awards from the Visual Effects Society for the work done in 2007.

The city of Metropolis itself has been nominated for Outstanding Created Environment in a Live Action Broadcast Program or Commercial. After that, the show received two nominations for Outstanding Compositing in a Broadcast Program or Commercial, for the episode "Justice" a well as the flood in the episode "Bizarro."

Congratulations to Smallville's VFX experts on your nominations! Thanks to Brian for the tip.

It Appears We Have Our Patricia Swann...
The official website of actress Gina Holden has revealed that she has recently booked a role on Smallville which began filming this week. As the episode "Traveler" is now shooting, that makes it VERY likely that Holden is playing the role of Patricia Swann, daughter of Dr. Virgil Swann from the show's early seasons.

Holden already has a Smallville connection, too, as she plays the love interest of one time "Whitney" Eric Johnson on the SciFi Channel's Flash Gordon series.

We don't know yet how many episodes will feature Patricia, but "Traveler" will be the character's first appearance.
