Smallville episode 8.19 "Stiletto"
Airdate: April 23 2009

Lois Lane in black tight leather should be sexy, instead she manages to look awkward and funny. Oh well. In this sneak peek for Smallville’s Sweeps comeback, Lois Lane is now costumed as Stiletto, the newest superhero to save Metropolis.

It looks like Lois Lane is supposed to meet the ‘red-blue-blur’, one superhero to another. Instead she finds Clark in the same place, and he’s pretty ticked off that she’s pretending to be a super hero! But Lois is annoyed with Clark too, since it looks like he stood her up on a supposed date.

Smallville episode 8.19 "Stiletto"
Airdate: April 23 2009

It’s not everyday that Lois gets to save Clark’s skin. Next Thursday, Lois gets to be a superhero and does it all in sleek high heels!

If you recall, Lois Lane vowed that she would get the exclusive on the elusive “red-blue-blur”. In her desperation to become a star reporter, and by serendipity, Lois gets to create a new superhero she named Stiletto. Lois actually gets to save Chloe first, then a kryptonite-weakened Clark!

Way to go, girl!

Unbelievable, but the Speedster Daphne left Hiro in the dust!

Preview to this scene - Kaito Nakamura left a message for Hiro about a family secret hidden in his office vault, specifically telling his son not to open it. Well, the new boss of Nakamura Industries did exactly the opposite, and voila! The packet is swiped by Daphne, a (not-so-) petty thief hired to steal these documents.

Last week I posted a photo and a video of Milo Ventimiglia in his tour of the US troops stationed in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan. Now there are more!

Milo Ventimiglia was a special guest of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen at the 66th annual USO tour of the Persian Gulf. Milo’s birthday fell during the tour but Milo said he didn’t want anyone to know of it because wanted the focus to be on the visit of saluting the troops. Well, surprise surprise! After a long day touring bases, signing autographs and posing for pictures, the “Heroes” actor was given a surprise birthday party by the troops. It must have been a moving experience for Milo, who in the Persian Gulf for the first time, as he was quoted, “on my birthday, there’s no place else that I would rather be.”

“Smallville“ got four nominations for the Teen Choice Awards ‘08, but went home with nothing at all. In fact, none of the Smallville stars seem to have been present (sans photos), unless I missed them in the throng of celebrities that came.

• Instead of Smallville, the Choice TV show for Action Adventure went to Heroes.
• Instead of Kristin Kreuk, the Choice TV Actress for Action/Adventure was Hayden Panettiere of “Heroes”.
• Instead of Michael Rosenbaum, Choice TV Villain went to Ed Westwick of “Gossip Girls”.

Now what’s weird was there was no winner announced for Choice TV Actor for Action/Adventure in which Tom Welling was nominated.

This doesn’t bode very well for Smallville, which is on its last season this year.
