The other nominees will be announced as soon as they are added up.

Rumor Control: Tom Welling Is Not Dead
In the flood of news to come after the deaths of celebrities Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett last week, the 'net has also become ripe for pranksters to create fake news and in some cases, profit from the fake articles.

The latest trend is a website that auto-generates an article and puts the name of whichever famous actor you want into it, and apparently it has tricked some people into believing that Tom Welling died in an altercation following a traffic accident in California.

Fortunately, we can tell you: Tom Welling is fine. In fact, someone on Twitter sold him lights today in Massachusetts. Tom will need to get some rest on this long weekend though, as Smallville reports back to work on Monday, and another year of 15-hour days begins anew.

Sadly, This Person HAS Passed Away...
Unfortunately, we have learned that one member of the extended Superman family HAS passed on.

Harve Presnell, who was the second actor to play Lois's father Sam Lane on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, has passed away at the age of 75. He had been fighting pancreatic cancer.

Our condolences go out to Mr. Presnell's friends and family.

Update Regarding The Revised Art For Smallville Season 8 Blu-ray DVD
Warner Home Video recently released artwork for the Blu-ray version of Smallville: The Complete Eighth Season which featured different artwork from the art used for the standard edition DVD.

While the artwork does not feature any of the series cast, it must definitely be pointed out that this is a very nice-looking, classy image.

TVShowsOnDVD.com has uncovered the truth of the variation - the "Metropolis cityscape" version of the DVD will indeed be released, but as a "store exclusive" limited to a certain retail outlet. (Which one? They - and we - don't know).The regular retail release for both standard DVD and Blu-ray will feature Tom Welling and Erica Durance, as originally shown.

We'll update you when and if we hear more.

Take a larger look at the "Metropolis Cityscape" variant cover!

Allison Mack Provides A Voice In Direct-To-DVD Superman & Batman Feature
On September 29, Warner Home Video will be releasing a special Superman/Batman animated feature based on the "Public Enemies" storyline which was written by Smallville vet Jeph Loeb.

The feature will include several notable voices from past DC Comics animated programs, including Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series) as Batman and Tim Daly (Superman: The Animated Series) as Superman.

The most exciting part of this for Smallville fans, however, is that Warner Bros. press material lists Allison Mack as part of the voice cast.

No word yet on who she will be voicing, but if it's true, this will be a return for Allison to the DC animated universe, having portrayed the voice of "Clea" in an episode of The Batman alongside Brandon Routh. Some online fan speculation is that Allison will be voicing Power Girl, though, again, this has not been confirmed.

KryptonSite Interview: Bryan Q. Miller Talks Teen Titans, Batgirl, Smallville & More
Popular Smallville writer Bryan Q. Miller ("Committed," "Hex") wrote the recent issue (#72) of DC Comics' Teen Titans which can now be found in comic book specialty shops, and he has a new Batgirl comic series in addition to Season 9 of Smallville in his future.

Mr. Miller was kind enough to grant us an e-mail interview where he talks about his comics work... and he may tease his first Season 9 Smallville story a little bit in the process!

Read the interview!

One Tree Hill's Joe Manganiello Will Not Be "Mason"
Joe Manganiello (One Tree Hill's Owen) tried out for the Smallville role of "Mason" - but it seems he did not get the role, making us wonder even more if "Mason" was just a code name for the Zod role which will be played by Callum Blue.

On an interview with the internet radio station Stardish, Manganiello said he wouldn't be doing Smallville, adding that they were "looking for something a little different than me."

Thanks to "Muse Fanclub" for the tip.

We now have some information about who is scheduled to represent Smallville at the panel at the 2009 Comic-Con International in San Diego.

Here is more information from Warner Bros.' release:

Bryan Q. Miller Writes This Week's Teen Titans #72
Popular Smallville writer Bryan Q. Miller ("Committed," "Hex") wrote this week's issue of DC Comics' Teen Titans, now available in comic book specialty shops.

The issue is a perfect jumping-on point for new fans and is a great introduction to the book's current cast.

You can find it at all good comic shops now. Titans #72 is also the first issue to have a "Second Feature" spotlighting the Ravager character, sadly not written by BQM. [I'd still prefer to read about her father Deathstroke, but that's just me! - Craig]

BIG RUMOR: From Smallville To... Metropolis?
Ain't It Cool News today posted a big rumor that - if true - could be something huge for Smallville fans.

Here's something a tipster sent that site:

On black, with crimson/red text in the same font lettering that Smallville uses, and a transparent grey Superman "S" watermark behind the text:

METROPOLIS

CHRISTMAS 2010

Then at the bottom is a banner advertising the Smallville presentation.

AICN is suggesting the possibility that Smallville will conclude its 9-year run in May 2010, with whatever this is serving as a sequel to the show.

So far, no one officially connected with the series has confirmed or denied anything. To go into a ninth season with an end point in mind would be very smart for the series, both creatively and in terms of promotion, especially if a "Metropolis" movie could wrap it up. Bonus points could be had if former series stars like Michael Rosenbaum, Kristin Kreuk, Annette O'Toole, and even John Glover and John Schneider could return for the series' final hurrah.

Stay tuned for more information. Of course if this is true, we'll be hearing more at the Comic-Con panel on July 26!

Kneel Before Blue: Callum Blue Is Zod
British actor Callum Blue of Dead Like Me and Related fame has been cast in the role of Zod in Season 9, the Hollywood Reporter has revealed.

Blue's other credits include Secret Diary of a Call Girl and The Tudors.

TV Guide is reporting that Callum Blue will make his first appearance in the season premiere, and he will be a series regular.

Whether or not Zod happens to also be "Mason" remains to be seen. Unfortunately, this seems to confirm that Sam Witwer will not be returning to Smallville.

Greg Beeman Joins Melrose Place
Popular director-producer Greg Beeman, who departed Smallville in Season 5 and later worked on the Aquaman pilot episode as well as having a VERY successful run on NBC's Heroes, has announced on his blog that he will be joining former Smallville executive producers/writers Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer as part of the writing staff of The CW's new Melrose Place, which premieres on September 8.

We wish Mr. Beeman the best of luck in this new endeavor... while, as he points out in his blog it's not the same action and effects heavy material we are used to seeing from him, we know that his presence at Melrose Place will give the show a unique look, feel, and palette of the highest quality - very much like he had with Smallville and Heroes before.

Read Mr. Beeman's blog for the full report!

Metallo Comes To Smallville In Season 9
TV Guide has revealed that Beverly Hills 90210 and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles alum Brian Austin Green has been cast in "at least the first two episodes of Season 9" as Superman comics villain "Metallo."

Smallville Nominated For Some Teen Choice Awards!
Smallville has been nominated in several categories in the 2009 Teen Choice Awards.

Smallville was nominated in the following categories. Apparently they haven't seen a cast list from the past season. ;)

Choice TV Show - Action/Adventure: Smallville
Choice TV Actor - Action/Adventure: Tom Welling
Choice TV Actress - Action/Adventure: Kristin Kreuk
Choice TV: Villain: Michael Rosenbaum
Choice TV: Sidekick: Allison Mack

See the full list of nominees and to cast your votes!

Follow Michael Rosenbaum On Twitter!
Even though there are a few Smallville phonies using the Twitter service (including a few fake Tom Wellings and a misspelled "Kristen" Kreuk), we can tell you that Michael Rosenbaum is the latest to catch on to the Twitter phenomenon.

You can find his Twitter with the latest updates from Rosenbaum himself at https://twitter.com/mrosenbaum711. Tell him KryptonSite sent you! (He's not the only Smallville actor to genuinely be on Twitter, by the way... Allison Mack has had an account for a few months now, where she links to her blog and corresponds with fans! "Black Canary" Alaina Huffman also uses Twitter.)

And hopefully you all know the KryptonSite Network has our own Twitter feed too, where you can get immediate updates when something big has happened in the world of Smallville, Heroes, ABC's new V, Human Target, Merlin, Reaper and the other shows we cover. For that, you can visit https://twitter.com/kryptonsite to sign up!

No Sam Witwer For Season 9?
Davis Bloome may be dead, but a lot of folks hoped we might see Sam Witwer continuing on Smallville for Season 9 as Zod.

But could those plans be scuttled?

Unfortunately, tickets to the event are already sold out, but you can expect several of the panels to be covered here with the KryptonSite Network of sites.

Smallville Season 8 DVD: The Official Press Release

Repost: A Reminder To PLEASE Check Out Smallville Season 7: The Official Companion!
In addition to working on KryptonSite, site webmaster Craig Byrne has written the four most recent Smallville companion books for Titan Publishing.

The Season 7 companion book, which featured a Foreword by Laura Vandervoort (Kara), was released in October.

Unfortunately, a decision to make a Season 8 book has not yet been made, and chances are if sales on the previous books do not pick up, we might not get companions for Season 8 (or beyond)

So, if you've been "thinking about it" but just never got around to it, now is the time to PLEASE order a copy of the book from Amazon.com or go to your local bookstore to find or request a copy.

Personally speaking, and breaking from the editorial voice for a moment, I'd really like the opportunity to do another book and I KNOW there are a lot of unanswered questions about Season 8 that fans would like to see answers to. If sales go up, and the Amazon.com ranking goes up, they might have no choice but to go forward with more!

Order your copy of the Season 7 book from Amazon.com!
(If you're in the United Kingdom, try Amazon.co.uk)

One Tree Hill's Manganiello Tries Out For "Mason?"
Joe Manganiello (One Tree Hill's Owen) has apparently tried out for the Smallville role of "Mason" - as he has revealed on his Twitter feed.

Here's what he recently posted online:

"just put myself on tape for a series regular role on "Smallville"... anyone watch that show?"

Thanks to everyone who sent in the tip, and best of luck to Mr. Manganiello on getting the role!

Spoilery Details For Smallville's New Character!
KryptonSite now has details about the scenes used to cast new character from Smallville Season 9.

Find them on the KryptonSite Spoilers Page!

The CW's Smallville Season 9 Promotional Image
The CW released an image to advertisers when promoting Season 9, and in doing so created a weirdly Photoshopped picture where Tom Welling's Season 8 head is on his Season 6 body, and Erica Durance has Kristin Kreuk's body!

The promo also lists "Sam Witwer as Davis Bloome" as part of the cast, so it may also be outdated. Although, oddly, Aaron Ashmore as Henry Jimmy is not listed, so they got something right! This same image can also be found on the CW's official site, with some equally-badly-Photoshopped images from 90210, Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, and more.

Take a look!

Smallville Moves To... Fridays at 8?!?!
The CW hasn't formally announced their Fall 2009 schedule, but many media outlets are reporting that The CW has placed their new series The Vampire Diaries in Smallville's timeslot and is moving Smallville to anchor Friday nights at 8PM.

The Vampire Diaries stars Paul Wesley (nee Wasilewski) and Ian Somerhalder, who appeared on Smallville as Lucas Dunleavy-Luthor and Adam Knight, respectively. Nina Dobrev (Degrassi: The Next Generation) also stars, and it seems the show is being created to target the Twilight vampire phenomenon, even though the original Vampire Diaries novels were published several years earlier.

The network will be officially confirming their schedules tomorrow, though several sources are confirming that this is indeed accurate. Also, with Smallville entering its ninth (and possibly final) season, the network is going to aim to build a new Thursday night.

Images Of Laura Vandervoort On V!
ABC's upcoming reimagining of the science fiction classic V featuring Laura Vandervoort (Smallville's Kara) won't premiere until January or so, but it hasn't stopped the network from releasing several images to coincide with their fall schedules.

Within their selection of images are several images of Laura Vandervoort as her new Visitor character "Lisa."

Take a look at the pictures at VisitorSite.net!

NBC Passes On Rosenbaum's New Sitcom Project
Nikki Finke's Deadline Hollywood Daily is reporting that NBC has passed on Michael Rosenbaum's sitcom project where he would play one of three adult siblings.

So if it is true that we won't get some Rosenbaum on our television sets every week, maybe any producers reading this could set aside to bring back one of our favorite bald villains sooner rather than later...? Hey, it was worth a try!

Bryan Q. Miller Takes On Batgirl & The Teen Titans
Smallville writer Bryan Q. Miller ("Committed," "Bulletproof," "Hex") will be writing more characters from the DC Comics Universe soon as he will soon be writing a few projects for the comic book publisher.Miller has a story arc for DC's Teen Titans coming up starting in June with issue #72, and then he will be writing the new ongoing Batgirl comic book series.

These comics won't spell the end for Miller's time with Smallville; he will indeed be back full-time with the series for Season 9.

Another Season Has Come And Gone...
Smallville Season 8 is now complete, and that means we're now about four months away from the series' next new episode.Thanks to everyone who has visited KryptonSite in the past year, and to the cast and crew for all of their hard work. We'd especially like to extend our "good luck" wishes tot the cast member(s) who may not be back this Fall.

While the show is resting, KryptonSite will not be. Look for the 2009 KryptonSite Awards nominations to begin soon. There should also be a lot of activity in the next week or so as the networks formally announce their Fall 2009 schedules - complete with cast lists, official descriptions, and more. And of course, new websites in the KryptonSite Network, and as early as next month, we have the NBC premiere of Merlin - which is, for all intents and purposes, the British version of Smallville, and a very fun show. And if past seasons are any indication, we'll also hear about new characters or cast coming to the show very shortly, so stay tuned!

Laura Vandervoort & Tahmoh Penikett Sign On For Riverworld
As if playing "Lisa" in ABC's upcoming V reinvention wasn't enough - Laura Vandervoort (Kara) has also signed on to star alongside Tahmoh Penikett of the Smallville episodes "Resurrection" and "Prototype" (as well as Battlestar Galactica and Dollhouse) in a four-hour Sci-Fi Channel miniseries titled Riverworld.

The Hollywood Reporter says that Penikett will play war correspondent Matt Ellman, a man who is killed along with his fiancee (Laura Vandervoort) but awakens in a mysterious world populated by everyone who has lived on Earth.

The article claims that this could serve as a pilot for a series; however, with Penikett and Vandervoort possibly having other series this Fall, that might not be happening.

The mini-series will film soon and air next year.

Sci-Fi has also picked up a four-hour miniseries based on the classic comic strip character The Phantom. Ryan Carnes (Desperate Housewives and Doctor Who) has signed on to play the lead. Let's hope that one fares better than Eric Johnson's Flash Gordon did.
