While she awaits her trial early next year, the actress who played “Chloe Sullivan” on Smallville has been given permission to attend school and church, according to a report by RADAR Online.

Allison Mack had been under house detention with an ankle monitor while awaiting trial; now, Mack will be allowed to leave the house for these activities, though the rest of her bail requirements will remain in full force.

“Allison has been given permission by the prosecution to take classes – philosophy, literature – at a local junior college,” RADAR’s source told them. It sounds like Allison’s college courses could start within a week.

Some are worried that Allison’s release to do these things could have a negative effect.

“It’s going to spook her former slaves who are just starting to get comfortable being out of the cult,” one of RADAR’s sources told them about the notion of her being out in the world. “It’s more than ridiculous, it is dangerous. You’re innocent until proven guilty, but these are charges that could bring a life sentence. Allison should really be sitting in prison,” they said.

With all that said, Allison’s family is sticking by her. “Allison’s parents don’t believe in the charges brought against her and neither do her attorneys,” a RADAR source said.

Allison is accused of being part of a “sex cult” called NXIVM that recruited, branded and abused women.

Makes you wonder how many American Teens she can rope and brand! (I hope that’s the right phrase, from England so apologies). Amazed the Judge allowed Allison Mack to go out. She is not that dangerous to others but she is a horrible person. Who on their right mind is going to be polite to her when at college? It could be your daughter who fell into the trap and now she gets to roam free amongst young women. Perhaps Keith knows he’s off to jail (that word I know is correct!) so Allison is rounding up some cattle to visit him whilst he grows old and grey inside.

Makes you wonder if his lawyers are Masters! So glad England has bo weirdos like this. Well there was Jimmy Saville!

She will get what’s coming to her I trust and believe Karma will find her wherever she is and that will be that. You can’t go around doing what she did to innocent women and young ladies and not suffer a big dose of karma so if I was her I would be looking over my shoulder because she ruined an awful lot of lives…

We’re starting to think someone at the Warner Bros. social media team may be a Smallville fan as they have recently posted a new video spotlighting the references to Superman on Smallville. Of course, it’s not every reference ever, but it’s nice to see the show being spotlighted by WB and DC in this day and age, especially now that we are in the year that will mark 25 years since the premiere of Smallville on October 16, 2001. With ten seasons and 218 episodes, there’s a lot to choose from! (Yes, 218. “Absolute Justice” counts as two!)

What was your favorite Superman reference? Leave some comments below and unless there’s some kind of disaster, we promise the KryptonSite Forums will return sooner rather than later! Happy Anniversary Year, everybody!

Michael Rosenbaum recently spoke with the Bleeding Cool website about a number of topics, including the much-asked-about Smallville animated project. Unfortunately, the latest seems to be no update on what we’ve heard before.

“I would say the Smallville animated series that I created, and we have Al and Miles, creators of Smallville, who are in, and Tom Welling. We want to do it, and it’s just got to be the right timing. Right now, I’m not sure it is, but we’ll see. I think it will happen at some point, but I don’t know when. I wish I had an oracle, but I hope it comes to fruition,” Michael told them.

Rosenbaum also discussed the things that really made his Lex Luthor work.

“Ultimately, if you don’t know anything about the character’s past or don’t know why he became evil, then to me, you’re missing the special sauce and the ingredients. That’s what is most important to me. I knew I was playing a character, we were going to delve into his past, his childhood, his relationship with his father, and with other people. We saw him evolve, and I thought that’s what was interesting,” he said. “I thought the creators (behind Smallville, Al (Gough) and Miles (Millar) did a terrific job, and that’s why people liked what I did, because I had the opportunity to be likable, lovable, and be understood, and then I turned. You know why I did, and to me, that’s the best villain. When you see different layers, that’s all I’ll say about that. There have been some great actors to play Lex, but I think that’s the most important thing to me, and I had the luxury of having years to develop and become the ultimate villain,” he continued.

As for his favorite Lex Luthor actors?

Michael’s favorite is Gene Hackman “because of the nostalgia,” and he loves Nicholas Hoult’s take on the character from James Gunn’s 2025 Superman film. He also had fond things to say about Michael Cudlitz and Jon Cryer.

The 2026 Salute to Smallville convention celebrating the 25th anniversary of Smallville is happening in Nashville on November 6 & 7, and while that time is a little less than a year away, Creation Entertainment is already adding more guests!

Previously, the convention announced Tom Welling (Clark Kent), Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor), Eric Johnson (Whitney Fordman), and Adrianne Palicki (Lindsay Harrison/”Kara” from “Covenant”) – today, they are announcing two of Smallville’s most popular actors to the roster. Who, you ask?

The first of the two guests joined Smallville in Season 4. Originally set for only four episodes, she was so well liked and did such a great job in the role that she kept coming back… and coming back… and ultimately, the show was able to give us the actual Lois Lane that we all deserved, finally allowing Clark and Lois to be romantic on the show. We are talking, of course, about Erica Durance!

Next up is our favorite Supergirl, with no offense to others who have played the role. Yes, actor and award-winning director Laura Vandervoort is coming too! Laura was busy getting married at the time of the second Salute, and it’ll be great to see her again.
