Lois Lane Helps Out The Angels

Charlie's Angels may have had pretty crappy reviews but this preview is worth it for the fact that Erica Durance (Lois Lane, Smallville) stars in this episode.  I'm not sure that even Erica's 'super' contacts can help this show but at least she's trying.

Lois Lane Is An Angel

Charlie’s Angels, starring Minka Kelly (Friday Night Lights), Rachael Taylor (Grey’s Anatomy) and Annie Ilonzeh (General Hospital), premiere's in the states  a week from today. In an October episode, the divine Erica Durance plays Samantha Masters, a tough-as-nails, Glock-toting CIA operative who shares a romantic past with Bosley (Ramon Rodriguez).  I had every intention of checking out this re-make but now I'm sold.  For those of us who are Erica fans, she will be appearing in Brisbane at the Supanova conference so get your 'fanboy' on and head up north.

She's Back...

Thank god we don't have to miss Lois for long...
It was announced by Bell Media that Canadian actress Erica Durance (Lois Lane on Smallville) has been cast to star in the pilot for Saving Hope, a Toronto-set hospital drama.

It's not quite the show we were hoping for ('Metropolis' the story of Superman) but it's a damn site better than nothing.

The pilot has been written by the co-creator of Rookie Blue which bodes well.  Hopefully it will get picked up and Erica will be back for a while.

The Trifecta

It doesn't get much better than this for me - 3 of my absolute favourite TV ladies in the one photo.  Not only that but they represent 3 of the best TV shows ever made!  If Sophia Bush had turned up life would just about be perfect.
This gem stars Alexis Bledel (Rory - Gilmore Girls), Kristen Bell (Veronica - Veronica Mars), and Erica Durance (Lois - Smallville)

Smallville - Day 3

It's all about the fabulous Lois Lane today.  Star reporter at the Daily Planet, Clark Kent/Superman's sidekick, friend and even eventually - wife!

The appearance of Lois Lane was first based on Joanne Carter, a model that creator Jerome Siegel eventually married and Lois's personality was based on Torchy Blane, a reporter featured in some 1930 films and her name was taken from Lola Lane, one of the Lane sisters who were a singing act in the '20s and '30s.

Depictions of Lois Joanne Lane have varied since her character was created in 1938, spanning the 70-year history of Superman comic books and other media adaptations. During the Silver Age, she was the star of Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane, a comic title that had a light and frivolous tone. However, the original Golden Age version of Lois, as well as versions of her from the 1970s onwards, portray Lois as a tough-as-nails journalist and intellectual equal to Superman. One thing has remained throughout the character's 70-year history, however: she has always been the most prominent love-interest in Superman's life and is seen by many fans as the archetypical comic book love interest.

Big shoes to fill for any actress taking on the task of portraying Ms Lane, and there have been many over the years.  Who is your favourite Lois?

10 Days Of Smallville - Day 1

While we are on the topic of Lois let's get to our first day of '10 Days Of Smallville'.  (dedicated to 'Superboy' who requested today's topic)

There are two characters on Smallville who seem to randomly get their gear off whenever an opportunity arises, and sometimes for no particular reason what so ever.  The most prolific of these is Oliver Queen or the Green Arrow as we know him - but you'll have to wait for him until tomorrow.  Today we are celebrating the near nakedness of the gorgeous Lois Lane played by Erica Durance.

One of the most memorable and earliest of Lois's strips was way back in 2005 in 'Exposed'. 
One of the most hilarious Smallville episodes ever and according to our male fans - also extremely hot.

We also received an eyeful of Lois whenever she went anywhere near one-time love Aquaman...

There was the episode where Clark accidentally walks in on her while naked - but as this is a PG site I'll leave that one to your imagination.

It turns out the Erica is not adverse to a little near-nakedness in real life either...

You can imagine the shedding of clothing whenever she and Oliver Queen got together - poor Clark, how on earth is he going to keep up?

Stay tuned tomorrow for the male equivalent - I promise it will be worth the wait.
