As we get ready for the season finale of Smallville this Thursday, May 14, on The CW, IGN got a chance to chat with Cassidy Freeman. Her character, Tess Mercer, has come a long way since the beginning of the season, going from a search for Lex Luthor to gathering forces to help Clark (Tom Welling) find (and maybe kill) Doomsday (Sam Witwer).
Freeman gave us a sneak peak at the finale, her throwdown with Lois Lane (Erica Durance) and a preview of her upcoming horror film YellowBrickRoad which also stars her brother Clark.

ANTM crowns a winner!
So, it's Kris Allen versus Adam Lambert for the title of American Idol. Crazy! Like I've been saying, I adore Kris but I thought Danny Gokey had more star power. Do I think Kris can beat Adam in the American Idol finale? No. But the way things have been going on the show, who knows! Not that it really matters as all three of them are sure to have fine careers going forward after American Idol.
Reality TV Magazine's Britteny Elrick tells us all about Adam Lambert's Entertainment Weekly cover here!
America's Next Top Model crowned a winner last night - the sweet Teyona took home the prize over Allison. I didn't feel invested in either girl, so it was an anticlimactic ending.
Check out Reality TV's Elrick's full run-down here!
Last night's America's Next Top Model was also the last we'll be seeing of Paulina Porizkova, too. She told Craig Ferguson on The Late, Late Show that she was fired -- over the phone and on her birthday. I'm good with that. Porizkova adds nothing to the show and I'd rather see Jay Manuel sitting in the last chair. He'd make a fine judge!
Tonight there are seven season finales! Tonight’s must-watch leads with the Grey’s Anatomy season finale:
Grey's Anatomy
As if last week's episode wasn't heart breaking enough, we have tonight's stunning finale. Izzie must decide whether or not to undergo the cancer surgery while several of the gang have big announcements to make. Are they really going to kill off Izzie? Does it matter?
Like Supernatural, dead doesn't always mean dead on Grey's. It would simply mean that she and Denny can now haunt the place, together.

Deconstructing Lost's season finale: Does Jesus Christ run the island?
Besides being a little freaked to find the guy who played an abusive ex-husband on Dexter now playing the mysterious figure who runs Lost's island, Jacob, I had a few thoughts about Wednesday's appropriately mind-bending, two-hour Season Five finale, "The Incident."
(SPOILERS AHEAD)
--Somehow, dark-shirted Titus Welliver -- who popped up in the episode's opening moments as a politely murderous foil to Jacob -- morphed into John Locke to manipulate Ben into killing Jacob.
--Vowing to find a "loophole" allowing him to kill Jacob, Welliver's character must somehow be prevented from killing Jacob himself. Thus the manipulation of Ben, until now the show's best manipulator. Ironies abound.

'Supernatural': Is Bobby kicking the bucket?
Tonight, “Supernatural” wraps its fourth season and the finale promises to bring the mayhem that's been brewing to a boiling point. The race is on to prevent the final seals from being broken and there will be causalities.
One person whose future isn’t looking so bright? Bobby.
Yes, I know. It breaks my heart, too. But when I caught up with Jim Beaver (Bobby) at a signing to promote his new book this week, I questioned him on the rumors that his character isn't long for the "Supernatural" world, and his words weren’t promising. “I wish I had something encouraging to say about Bobby,” he told me. “There are some big surprises coming up.”
And if this is Bobby’s swan song, fans will be disappointed to hear that he’s not even a major part of the episode. “Bobby’s appearance in the season finale is relatively brief,” Jim shared. “He comes in and then kind of disappears.”
But whatever the outcome for Bobby is, Jim believes it’s all good. “[Creator] Eric [Kripke]’s going to do what’s best for the show,” he said. “He’s very attentive to the fans [and their wishes], but the fans don’t ever have to worry about him bending the show just to accommodate what they would like [to see]. At the same time, he cares what they would like, and I think the very fact that Bobby is still around this long is very much in part because he picked up that the fans liked him.”
If Bobby does end up meeting his maker, Jim isn't sure how that would impact his role on the show. “People do worry an awful lot about characters dying on "Supernatural" even though we’ve pretty much proven [death] doesn’t mean all that much,” he mused. He pointed out that characters that have died often pop back up on the show, long after they were killed off.
So, would you be okay if they axed Bobby?
Don't you think the boys need a father figure around? Someone that doesn't put up with their crap? Especially given their recent problems?

'Grey's,' 'Supernatural' sign off for the season
Before last week's episode of "Grey's Anatomy," yours truly was once again making empty threats.
If Derek (Patrick Dempsey) and Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) didn't walk down the aisle — if the writers found some way to delay the big day once again — that would be it for me. I'd give up altogether on the show, which was remarkably annoying for much of this season.
And yet I have to give credit where credit is due. Creator/executive producer Shonda Rhimes, who also wrote the episode, managed to put the wedding off for at least a while. And I'm not even considering going through with my threat to remove "Grey's Anatomy" from by DVR recording list.
If you haven't been watching, neither Meredith nor Derek really wanted a big wedding. But they allowed Izzie (Katherine Heigl) to plan one for them because it kept her occupied while she fought a potentially fatal form of cancer.
When Izzie's condition took a turn for the worse, Meredith and Derek turned the big wedding Izzie had planned over to her — and Izzie married Alex (Justin Chambers).
I didn't shed any tears (really), but my two daughters were both openly crying as the scenes played out.

Bryan Q. Miller Talks Teen Titans, Batgirl
Bryan Q. Miller pulled a rabbit out his hat earlier this year when he introduced Zatanna to the “Smallville” mythos by writing the Season 8 episode, “Hex.” DC Comics obviously thought Miller had a handle on scripting young heroes, because after penning three episodes of the CW hit series, the publisher gave him a multi-issue arc on “Teen Titans” for his first assignment in comics.
For Miller’s debut effort, he serves as co-writer on “Teen Titans” #72 with Sean McKeever (who also scripts Ravager back-up stories), and finishes the next two issues on his own. The writer says the fill-in story serves as a “pivotal narrative bridge” for the title moving forward.
But that’s not all for the relative newcomer.
DC revealed via its blog The Source that Miller will launch “Batgirl” in August – the final piece to the puzzle that is the Batverse post-“Battle for the Cowl.”
CBR sat down with Bryan Q. Miller to talk about these projects and more.

New Smallville season finale clip blames Chloe for everything
I'm not even gonna try to guess who will die in Thursday's season finale of Smallville. If the show wants to line up with Superman lore, then Clark will definitely bite it and be resurrected next season. If not, then almost anyone could be dead by episode's end (except Lois, Erica Durance has already signed on for season nine).
Of course, I wouldn't mind seeing Chloe go. I don't hate the character, but it seems like she's caused nothing but problems for Clark this season. It looks like the latest preview clip for this week's season ender, "Doomsday" agrees with me.
"And now because of Chloe, you cannot defeat him." Oh, that's hilarious. I love how Cosmic Boy blames the rise of Doomsday and the future death of Clark all on poor little Chloe. His list of Chloe's mistakes seems to go on and on and it basically ends with, "Everything's gonna go to hell because Chloe, you know, exists!"
Of course, this probably means Chloe will not die in the finale. It's more likely that somebody like Tess Mercer, The Dark Arrow or another Justice Leaguer will meet his or her end. Check out this spoiler page for more clues.
