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.

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!

The episode summary appears after the cut, courtesy of CW –

LOIS LANE IS A SUPERHERO — Lois (Erica Durance) believes that she needs a big story to secure her reputation as a star reporter but the red/blue blur continues to elude her.  However, after Chloe (Allison Mack) is mugged, Lois steps in to fend off one of the attackers and uses the opportunity to pretend a new superhero, Stiletto, has come to town and is giving exclusives to Lois.  Clark (Tom Welling) is concerned Lois will hurt herself pretending to be a superhero but after he is captured by thugs with kryptonite, Lois steps in to save the day.  Kevin Fair directed the episode written by Caroline Dries

Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart, director Christopher Nolan and producer Charles Roven all went onstage to accept the awards and it took Bale several minutes before he can speak amidst the continued applause of the crowd.

Finally, the actor thanked the fans and a tribute to the late actor Heath Ledger. “Thank you very, very much. And on behalf of all of the cast from the movie, thank you very much to the fans. Here’s to Heath. Thank you.”

Like the first season, the heroes again must band together to stop a villain from destroying the world. This time, the clue lies in the past, when Kaito Nakamura gave the infant Claire Bennet the power to be a “catalyst” of the formula.

How can they beat Arthur Petrelli when the self-serving scientist Mohinder is also racing against time to make a breakthrough for the formula?

The episode summary is safely tucked after the cut, for those who don’t want to get spoiled.

HEROES BAND TOGETHER IN AN ATTEMPT TO PUT A STOP TO ARTHUR PETRELLI – GEORGE TAKEI, KRISTEN BELL, BREA GRANT, SETH GREEN, BRECKIN MEYER, JAMIE HECTOR AND BLAKE SHIELDS GUEST STAR – Hoping to find a way to stop Arthur (guest star Robert Forster), Hiro (Masi Oka) and Claire (Hayden Panettiere) band together and travel back in time 16 years to when Kaito (guest star George Takei) gave baby Claire to H.R.G. (Jack Coleman). Meanwhile, Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) and the Haitian (guest star Jimmy Jean-Louis) team up to finish off Arthur Petrelli for good but are interrupted by Sylar (Zachary Quinto). Elsewhere, in the lab, Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) has a major breakthrough with the formula that will likely change everything. Ali Larter, Cristine Rose, Greg Grunberg, Adrian Pasdar and James Kyson Lee also star. Jessalyn Gilsig, Ashley Crow, Tamlyn Tomita and Chad Faust also guest star. – NBC

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.

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.”

Flashing a big grin for the camera is 20-year old PFC Cory Obitts (C) who posed for a photo with Milo during a meet and greet.

Milo sat between Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders’ Christina Parker and Deryn Derbigny for the long flights in between USO tour stops.

The other guests of the tour included NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, quarterback Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints, defensive end Osi Umenyiora of the Super Bowl champion New York Giants, and software engineer/former head football coach of Marshall University Jack Lengyel.

• 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.

POLL:

Just Jared has the list of winners.
