First Look of Wonder Twins on 'Smallville'

The young and reckless Wonder Twins have no pointy ears like in the comic books but they sure are purple.

"Smallville" version of The Wonder Twins stick to the comic version by presenting them in purple although they don't exactly wear tights. The first photos of the eighth episode this season titled "Idols" where they are slated to make the first appearance have been released.

Superhero twins Zan and Jayna show up in Metropolis to help The Blur fight crime but end up botching several rescues, landing Clark in hot water with the District Attorney's office. In the episode, Clark decides to come forward as the Blur to clear his name.

David Gallagher from "7th Heaven" plays Zan and Allison Scagliotti from "Warehouse 13" plays Jayna. There is no word yet whether their blue monkey Gleek will also be featured on the show.

The Wonder Twins are the latest DC Comic characters coming to "Smallville" this season. Previously, Speedy, Roulette and Metallo have had their share of screen time. Meanwhile, Justice Society of America which includes Hawkman and Star Girl will show up in a January 2010 episode.

Lady GaGa Talks How She Earned 'Gossip Girl' Cameo

She also tries to shed a little light on what fans can expect from her November 16 cameo, saying 'I am trying to say something that is not mainstream in a mainstream capacity'.

Lady GaGa revealed that she had the liberation to perform they way she wanted on "Gossip Girl". The singer said in an interview with MTV News that the writers let her do "whatever the hell". She called the cameo a "crazy performance-art piece."

Her teen sister was actually the one who encouraged her to play a part on the show. She explained, "First of all, my sister's a huge fan, and she's 17 years old. So when I called her and said 'Gossip Girl' wants to put my whole new album on the show and have me perform, she was like 'Oh my God, you have to do it. It's an amazing show'. And I'd seen it. It's a great show."

The one thing that she wouldn't do was to suddenly perform with no story entangled. "I hate TV series performances, because they kind of come in out of nowhere, and everyone's, like, really into the story, and then all of a sudden somebody breaks into song," she said.

GaGa thus literally sat down with the writers and expressed what she wanted to do with the show. On how it turned out, GaGa spilled, "I am the narrator behind what is going on with the characters and make the song part of the moment. We used these ladders, and I'm falling off ladders. Ladders are kind of a monster symbol about bad luck. And I have this 35-foot-long dress on and these X's, very gothic-inspired. It was great."

From another perspective, producer Stephanie Savage told Rolling Stone, "She was willing to stay on set and perform silently in the background of all of our shots so that she could stay a part of the scene and integrated into the action." GaGa was performing her latest single "Bad Romance" on the cameo.

The synopsis for the episode called "The Last Days of Disco Stick" is "Hoping to impress the elitist theater kids at NYU, Blair calls in a favor to land a private concert with the hottest musical performer of the year, Lady Gaga."

Four 'Kick-Ass' Character Posters Stand Out

Kick-Ass, Hit-Girl, Big Daddy and Red Mist are each put under the spotlight in the newly-released one-sheets for Matthew Vaughn's feature adaptation of Mark Millar's comic book series.

Four of "Kick-Ass" major characters have become the center of attention in a set of newly-released character posters. Debuted by IGN, each of the one-sheets focuses individually on Kick-Ass, Hit-Girl, Big Daddy and Red Mist, the alter egos of Dave Lizewski, Mindy Macready, Damon Macready and Chris D'Amico respectively.

All four posters capture the characters portrayed by Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, Nicolas Cage and Christopher Mintz-Plasse from their behind. If combined together in the right order, starting with Red Mist, Kick-Ass, Hit-Girl and Big Daddy, the one-sheets form the title of the movie.

Adapted from a comic book series by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., "Kick-Ass" promises to offer a twisted, funny, high-octane adventure from director Matthew Vaughn. Set for U.S. release on April 16, 2010, it follows the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski who decides to take his comic-book obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero.

Choosing the name of Kick-Ass as his alias, he assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. But, one problem stands in his way. He has absolutely no superpowers. Still, his life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes.

"The Apparition" will have Silver producing with Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman.
