~Brian Peterson brought coffee for fans (like moi) who waited in line overnight for the SV panel at Comic Con in 2010 so I think he’s a good egg, but I still don’t like the fact that he and Kelly Souders have joined the writing staff of “Beauty and the Beast” as co-showrunners.
The two will share showrunning duties with “Beauty and the Beast”s executive producers Jennifer Levin and Sherri Cooper. Coffee or no, this is the team that gave us mindwiped!Lex, Chloe as hero despite all of her major faults and a weak major villian of S10 (how can you ruin Darkseid??) so I can’t say I’m happy about it.
*Bryan Q. Miller has announced that his Smallville Season 11 comic will introduce Batman and Nightwing to the “Smallville” universe. In this ‘verse Nightwing is Stephanie Brown, former Batgirl instead of Dick Grayson, former Robin. Stephanie is a character near and dear to Bryan. He wrote her title-fantastically, I might add-until DC’s new 52 mucked things up.
In an interview with Comic Book Resources he talked about how the Batman/Superman arc will be like a buddy movie. He also talked about the mystery (to me) about why they changed Dean Cain’s character Curtis Knox from Vandal Savage. I just thought it was one of those random SV changes, but at the time Warners had a Vandal Savage project in development so they couldn’t use the name.
*The second season premiere of “Wilfred” was on Thursday night. The episode featured Allison Mack briefly (along with Rob Riggle, Steven Webber and Robin Williams) but in coming episodes you can see more of her as she becomes Ryan’s (Elijah Wood) new love interest. The show airs on FX, Thursdays at 10:30pm.
Allison was interviewed by
TVLine about her role.
One thing that Matt Mitovich pointed out in his interview was that the ladies of “Smallville” were owning Thursday nights: “Beauty and the Beast” will be on Thursday nights, “Saving Hope” airs at 9pm and then Allison in “Wilfred”.
But let’s talk about how Elijah was the only kid not getting to have fun in Paula Abdul’s “Forever Your Girl” video.

*Michael Rosenbaum went to a signing in support of the videogame he voices “Lollipop Chainsaw”. Directed by Rosey’s friend James Gunn, , the well-reviewed “Lollipop Chainsaw” follows Juliet a chainsaw wielding zombie killer as she tries to save her school and neighborhood from the zombies. Rosenbaum voices her decapitated boyfriend.

*Caught the two episodes of “The Firm” (based on the film that first featured a long ass Tom Cruise running sequence.) that Ari Cohen (Lex’s best henchman who probably figured out Clark was an alien long before Lex did, Regan Matthews) appeared in. “Chapter Four” introduced his character Detective William Quinn who turned out to be withholding information that could’ve saved a woman from going to jail. Turns out he didn’t need to confess his role in the death of the victim because he’s gangsta like that.
So smug!
So great was he that he returned in “Chapter Nine” when Mitch (Josh Lucas) calls on him to he and Ray investigate a shooting.

*Equal opportunity flirter Cassidy Freeman was interviewed by
AfterEllen. She talks “Longmire”, “The Playboy Club” and whether or not Tess swung that way.
Her answer: ”don't think that she was a lesbian but I definitely think she could be that girl who would kiss another girl at a party.
AE: Yeah.
CF: You know, to shock someone. I think she was really open and free in that way and just super-sexual. I mean, they set it up in this way where I had a lot of scenes with Erica and I'd be, like, fingering her French maid costume.
AE: Right.
CF:I'd be like "You get what this looks like, right? I mean, you're not idiots."
AE: [Laughs] Right, right.
CF: And they'd be like, "Yeah, no, no, no, it's good." I think they may have painted a few undertones but I don't think that was really meant to be a storyline. (dawnybee: No. But admit it, Tess and Plastique were wearing each other out in the Luther manse.)
On her choice for hot celebrity:
Cassidy: A hot celebrity - I've got to say i've always had it out for Maggie Gyllenhaal. I just think she's sexy as hell. I think she's different looking and I think she's f--king awesome! [Laughs]…. I actually have a picture of her that I've had for about eight years that I pulled out of a magazine because I love the picture so much and I put it in my work folder. I have this sort of clear folder that has my headshots and resumes and audition work and whatever and her picture is on the back side of it facing out because I just think she's so strong.
Strong. Sexy and want to wear her legs as ear muffs? Same Difference, right Cassidy?
*Brian Austin Green’s new series “Wedding Band” debuts this summer. The TBS will follow a group of friends who become wedding performers.

Speaking of Father’s (nice segue, if I can say so myself) this past Sunday was Father’s Day and Brandon Routh tweeted his shout-outs to all the dads out there…including himself.
No he’s not expecting. He’s just holding his arms that way.
Salt of the Earth, Man of the People Brandon recently visited a children’s hospital
To give smiles as well as get his daddy practice on
Why are you so amazing, Brandon?
I know it’s true!
I hope his long-lost twin David Guintoli of “Grimm” resembles Brandon in the charitable realm. He seems more adventurous than Brandon. David and his “Grimm” co-star Sasha Roiz participated in Seattle’s naked bike ride. But the two played it safe and only went shirtless more than likely not to violate their contracts.
Shame, that
Justin Hartley tweeted about Father’s Day did as well, but he had a follow up tweet that shows his emotional state right now with his impending divorce.
I feel really bad for he and Lindsay. This has to be hard for them because they have a child to consider. I hope they can work something out that works for their daughter and that Justin doesn’t try to get her for $20k a month like Tom’s golfing buddy Gabriel Aubrey did Halle Berry. Damn. Tom has to make sure the next round is on that dude. 20 thousand dollars a month? I know David Justice and Eric Benet are wishing they had a baby with Halle to get that deal. That sound you’re hearing over the sound of cash registers at Neiman Marcus during Gabriel’s shopping spree is Halle calling around to see if she can get sequels to “Baps”, “Monster’s Ball” and “Losing Isaiah” greenlit.
~ I watched a documentary over the weekend titled “The Other F Word”. It was about punk rock fathers and how fatherhood and their parents affected their lives. I was specifically interested in Flea of The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Art Alexakis of Everclear since I knew more about their lives than the others. I always thought the idea of wild and crazy Flea, a human version of The Muppets’ Animal if there ever were on, as a parent was weird. But as soon as you start seeing him putting her in videos and talking so lovingly about her it was obvious that he was a devoted dad. Now I feel super old because Clara’s grown and Flea is the same loving and devoted dad.

Some of the more heartbreaking stories were from Art Alexakis, Tony Adolescent (of The Adolescents) and Duane Peters (of the US Bombs) who suffered sexual abuse (Art), physical abuse (Tony) and the loss of a child (Tony and Duane). Amidst the tales of abandonment and parents who didn’t understand them are stories of how these men have made the choice to be attentive parents even if it means giving up many aspects of their career like touring to be better parents than the ones they had.

who appeared sans kids
But here he and his boys are at The Grove
*In the interview he was asked about his kids’ fashion sense. Here’s what he says:
Our oldest has a fascination with ties," Bomer says. "We'll be going to a family dinner and he'll come downstairs in a pair of shorts, a T-shirt, and a blue blazer with a tie. We let him rock that."
Matt also says that his father fashion tends to be more down home. ” (he) "really buys into the mythos of being a Texan" and "has moments with the ten-gallon hat,"
from an interview with
Refinery29.com Matt talks more about his son’s style and fatherhood.
Do they take style cues from you, or do they have their own fashion sense?
“You know, our oldest, I think he’s seen a lot of marketing material for White Collar, so he has this fascination with ties, and he has this old Thom Browne thing going on where we’ll say we’re going out for dinner and he’ll come down in a polo shirt, a tie, blue blazer, shorts, and black skinny loafers. We just embrace it and say you look fantastic. He’s seven. It’s incredible, if that’s what you wanna wear, do it."
So you let your kids dress themselves?
"Absolutely. I wanna let them cultivate their own sense of expression in the world, and style is a great way to do that."
Do you go shopping with them?
"Well you know, they’re boys, they’re seven and four so they don’t have a whole lot of patience for shopping per se, but to be honest with you, and I’m not just saying this because I’m here tonight, I do a lot of my shopping for them on Gilt. It’s an easy way to get things especially with the hours I do, I don’t have the time to go door-to-door to do their shopping, so I just do it online and try them on, it’s awesome."
Finally, what do you want for Father’s Day?
"Oh, I have no expectations for any gift. The kids always do something really nice for us, a book of photos, a picture frame of them, which is great, but to me the most important thing is to spend time together. A BBQ out back, spending time in the pool, it’s awesome."
