The latest scoop from EW’s Ausiello – check it out:

Question: Any juicy tidbits for the rest of the season on Smallville? —David
Ausiello: Clark and Zod will have an inevitable (and rather spectacular) showdown before the end of the season. And look for Lois and Perry to team up on the Kandorians story.

Matt Mitovich with Fancast has some scoopage on my favorite Martian:

How psyched are you that ‘Smallville‘ got a Season 10?! – Floruru via Twitter
Very. I mean, that’s a whole extra year of sifting through “When will Clark fly?” questions. Yay, me!

Can you give us a hint about Martian Manhunter’s role in the ‘Smallville’ episode “Checkmate”? – Tombstone25
I do love talking about he who shares my monogram. I’ve learned that MM is more enmeshed in the Checkmate mystery than any of us may have suspected, and that makes Clark suspicious as heck. I’m also hearing – and this part gives me gooseflesh – that Martian Manhunter and Amanda Waller have a face-off that potentially won’t end well for the spaceman. Hopefully, the big guy’s got a trick or two up his purple sleeve…?

The latest Smallville scoopage from Kristin with E! Online:

James from Atlanta: Have you heard if we finally get Lois for all 22 episodes of Smallville season 10?
Details of Erica Durance’s contact for next season are still up in the air, but I have it on good authority that we will “probably” see Lois “more than usual” on Smallville next year.

Hamilton in Brentwood, Tenn.: Is this Chloe’s last season on Smallville?
All I can tell you is that there is no deal yet for Allison Mack to return to Smallville next year. That could change at any time, but nothing so far…

Ruth in Boise, Idaho: Is it true Gil Bellows is coming to Smallville? I loved him on Ally McBeal!
Yes, he is, and he is still evil (though not because of a brain tumor this time–sigh, remember those days?!). He’s playing Maxwell Lord for two episodes this season, per my sources. Hey, maybe he can go replace Rob Lowe on Brothers & Sisters and be Calista’s new squeeze?

Also, “The Definitive Smallville Soundtrack” posted the song that played during tonight’s “Persuasion” episode. Check it out here.

A new episode of Smallville airs tonight beginning with 9.14 “Persuasion” at 8/7c, and repeat episode 9.08 “Idol” immediately following.

In addition, Smallville is listed on TV Guide’s “Tonight’s TV Hot List”, with a brief synopsis for “Persuasion” included:

Smallville
8/7c CW
Lois and Chloe turn on each other over Clark when the man of steel finally gets his every wish fulfilled. His desires are simple: a traditional relationship with his girlfriend and a best friend who will come to his rescue every now and again. Unfortunately, Clark is unaware that he has been infected with dream-come-true Kryptonite on Valentine’s Day. So when Lois quits her job and moves in with her man and when Chloe takes her role as defender seriously…things fall apart. — Rhoda Charles

Thanks to “Monita” for the heads up!

EW’s Ausiello has an interesting tid-bit…I wonder which two characters he’s referring to:

Question: In the light of Smallville not being renewed for the next season yet, I am feeling down! I need some juicy scoop to feel better! —Anibal
Ausiello: Two characters will soon discover each others’ secret identities.

Smallville scoopage from TV Guide regarding Chloe (Allison Mack):

What’s coming up for Chloe on Smallville ? — Robin
ADAM: Allison Mack tells us that even though she’ll be back at the Daily Planet later this season, don’t expect to see her behind a desk. “I think the journalist in Chloe is something that she finds in her work at Watch Tower now,” Mack says. “Chloe just wants to know the truth. Now that she recognizes how corrupt the Daily Planet and the media is, she’s doing things on her own and you really see her desire to change the world… come out in her experience at Watch Tower and working with the Justice League.”
