Smallville stud Tom Welling, aka Superman, drops into Samy’s Camera Store in Los Angeles on Saturday to pick up some photographic equipment.
Orlando Bloom picked up camera equipment at Samy’s back in October also. Seems like Samy’s is the one-stop camera shop in L.A.!

Mo’ pix from the WB Main Lot from last night’s Launch Party for The CW in Burbank, California. Behold, the cast of Smallville! Tom Welling, 29, Kristin Kreuk, 23, Erica Durance, 28, Justin Hartley, 29, and Aaron Ashmore, 26. The season premiere, episode “Zod,” is scheduled to air on September 28th @ 8PM ET/PT. Many more pictures in the gallery! (Be sure to check out the cute pics of Kristin and Kristen Bell!)
BREAKING :: Tori Spelling will make a guest appearance on a future episode of Smallville as a gossip columnist for The Daily Planet. Her powers will allow her to turn herself into silicone water. SPLASH.
Clark Kent may be more powerful than a locomotive, but even a Supeman can’t handle every crisis by himself. Enter Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow, the latest DC Comics character to visit Smallville.
Famous for his peerless skill with bow and arrow, Oliver will appear in at least seven episodes this season, which premieres September 28 on the new CW network. "He will start to form the nascent Justice League," says executive producer Al Gough. "He’s trying to find like-minded people with special powers and put a more formal structure in place."
As with previous superhero guest stars like the Flash, Clark (Tom Welling) will be initially wary of Green Arrow. "Ultimately Clark will see the value of what he is trying to do," Gough says. "But as he’s gotten older, Clark has become more caurious. He will always be there to help out, but he doesn’t want to be part of a fonnalized organization."
Justin Hartley, best known for playing hunky rich boy Fox Crane on NBC’s soap Passions, has been cast in the role. Hartley starred in the pilot for an Aquaman series that Gough and his producing partner, Miles Millar, had developed for CW; and when that show wasn’t picked up, they quickly offered Hartley the Smallville gig. What really appealed to us is that he has a great combination of sexiness and hunor," Gough says. That’ll also appeal to Lois Lane (Erica Durance), who Gough says will take a romantic interest in the emerald archer.
Cupid’s arrows will also hit Clark’s best friend, Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack), and a young Daily Planet coworker by the name of Jimmy Olsen. That’s right, Superman’s future pal joins the Smallville universe as a recurring guest star. Chloe and Jimmy met off screen a few years ago when they were summer interns at the Planet. "In our first episode back, they reconnect," Gough says. "And so Chloe Sullivan finally gets a boyfriend."
That’s one team-up even Clark should approve of. [TV Guide]
(Aaron Ashmore — aka Veronica Mars‘ former beau, Troy Vandegraff — has since been cast as Jimmy Olsen on Smallville.)
A heavily bearded Tom Welling — with all his Superman strength — threw out the first pitch at Fenway Park last night in Boston, Mass. (Admittedly, not one of his best looks.) The 29-year-old actor got married on Martha’s Vineyard four summers ago and was in town with his best friend Derek Evans, who apparently is a big Red Sox fan. Derek is the Executive Vice President of Production for Spyglass Entertainment (The Sixth Sense, Shanghai Noon, Mission to Mars, Unbreakable). Tom Welling returns with the sixth season of Smallville this coming fall.
Vancouver, Canada :: Tom Welling films a scene for Smallville late last month, flying through the air as Clark Kent (with the gracious help of two steel cables latched onto his back). It’s for the Smallville episode "Fade" airing next Thursday, April 27. Inset :: Tom and Allison Mack (reporter and best friend Chloe Sullivan) smile on before the cameras roll. More pictures in the gallery!
"Mercy" Synopsis :: A masked tormentor (guest star Ian Tracey) takes Lionel (John Glover) hostage and orchestrates a series of elaborate games that Lionel must win in order to stay alive. After Clark (Tom Welling) tells Martha (Annette O’Toole) that Lionel knows his secret, she sets out to confront him, but inadvertently becomes a pawn in the tormentor’s game and ends up fighting for her life. The role of "Oni Demon/Lincoln Cole" is being cast, as is a "Limo Driver."
Smallville gods, please have mercy. Why has your show been sucking donkeys so much lately? I seriously don’t know why I watch anymore! Smallville episode "Mercy" airs on Thursday, April 20 @ 8/7c on The WB. More episode stills in the gallery!
Tom Welling (wearing his wedding ring) really is Superman — at least for the April 13 episode, when he makes his directorial debut on his show. "Going into it I was apprenhensive about what I didn’t know, but I knew I had a good team around me, says Welling (with costars Michael Rosenbaum and Kristin Kruek). "Everyone was really fantastic and supportive." Smallville episode "Fragile" airs on Thursday, April 13 @ 8/7c on WB.
