Just prior to joining Desperate Housewives in the role of slippery (and scary!) Dave Williams, Neal McDonough channeled a videogame villain for the big-screen action flick Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (now in theaters).
"That was a blast," Neal raves in this video Q&A. "We went to Thailand for three months, my family came with me, and I got to play Bison, who is just a mess of a character."
McDonough goes on to detail some tweaking they did to the Bison character, as well as talk about he and Smallville alumna Kristin Kreuk (as Street Fighter's titular heroine) "kicked the snot" out of each other in fight scenes. Check it all out after the jump.read more
Kristin Kreuk with Tom Welling, Smallville
"A lot of tears" is what Kristin Kreuk promises when Lana Lang bids the CW's Smallville (if not Smallville, Kansas) a final farewell. As the original cast member's final three episodes unspool, TVGuide.com welcomed the chance to chat with Kreuk about Lana's super secrets, her big-screen butt-kicking, and the change that she hopes to bring to the world — one small step at a time. (Smallville airs Thursdays at 8 pm/ET.)
TVGuide.com: Word has it that Lana might have left town last spring under rather different circumstances than she led us to believe. True?
Kristin Kreuk: Very true. There's a lot of stuff going on with Lana that nobody knows except for her. The audience will slowly begin ...

This week on the CW's Smallville (Thursdays at 8 pm/ET), Lana Lang (played by Kristen Kreuk) walks back into Clark's life, and at a most inopportune time — at least as far as Lois is concerned. "[Lois and Clark] are both discovering how and what they feel," Erica Durance previews in this video. "There is a moment when you think that they may actually admit that to each other... and then Lana comes back."
What happens then? Watch Durance's new video after the jump for a preview.

24, CSI and Without a Trace
Senior editors Matt Webb Mitovich and Mickey O'Connor answer your burning questions. Be sure to direct any new seekage of spoilers to mega_scoop@tvguide.com.
The new 24 trailer is totally awesome! I seriously can't wait for Season 7. I'm in urgent need of some scoop to satisfy this 24 craving of mine! — Jack
MATT: First off, how much do I doubt your name is actually Jack? Too coincidental. But yeah, the new trailer is very much awesome — especially when Bauer tells you-know-who, "I will kill you, and you'll stay dead this time." Speaking of resurrections, the trailer also suggests to me that someone who I thought I saw die in the prequel movie (coming to you Nov. 23) has somehow been granted a second life. Interesting.
Can we expect anything of substance regarding the rest of the Without a Trace cast beyond the Jack and Samantha storyline? — Jennifer
MICKEY: Boy, do I have good news for you, Jen. An upcoming episode will ...

Kristin Kreuk, Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum by Timothy White/The CW
In Part 2 of TVGuide.com's Smallville preview, exec producers Brian Peterson and Todd Slavkin give their take on Season 8 (which arrives Sept. 18) by talking about the return of Green Arrow and offering an update on important people in Clark's life (Lex, Lana and Martha included). Plus: Which DC Universe players you will — and won't — be seeing this year. — Michael MaloneyTVGuide.com: How did the WGA strike affect your storytelling last season?Brian Peterson: We were only short two episodes; we did 20 out of the 22 [originally planned]. We actually got to complete most of our storylines that we set, especially the dynamics with Clark and Lex and also Lex and Lionel, including the final turn of Lex killing his father.TVGuide.com: It was tough seeing John Glover leave, because he made such a great Lionel.Todd Slavkin: John's a great actor and a great man — we miss him dearly — but it was always in the cards that Lex murdering his father would aid in his descen...

Eva Longoria by Ron Tom/ABC; Hugh Laurie by Isabella Vosmikova/Fox; Kristin Kreuk by David Gray/The CW
Senior editors Matt Webb Mitovich and Mickey O'Connor field your burning questions!I'm desperate to know, is James Denton (Mike) coming back to Desperate Housewives? And are they leaving Gaby frumpy? — Barbara Matt Mitovich: As teased by this Mega Minute and confirmed here, Denton is coming back – in some sort of capacity. As for Gabrielle staying "frumpy," 1) Eva undoubtedly takes great offense to that characterization, and 2), let's just say that Gabs "won't be herself" this season. Can you please tell me when during Season 8 Kristin Kreuk will be back on Smallville? And how many episodes will Lana be in? — IanMatt: At this early point, all I can say is that KK will not be back for the season opener, since that eppy is already chock full of Justice Leaguing goodness. Kristin will be back, though, for multiple episodes (or specifically five, if this Canadian version of ET is to be believed).Is Amber really dead on House? I hope it was just a dream that House had. ...

Allison Mack in Smallville by Michael Courtney/The CW
It looks like Smallville's about to take another, potentially lethal, hit.Just a week after it was announced that Michael Rosenbaum would not be returning full time as Lex next season, sources confirm to me exclusively that Allison Mack, arguably Smallville's most popular heroine, may be the next to go. This marks quite a turnaround from a few months ago, when I deemed Mack a lock to come back next season. And I wasn't the only one. Although a deal wasn't signed at the time, Smallville insiders tell me that all indications were that the actress was on board for Season 8. But then Rosenbaum terndered his resignation and everything fell apart. "Allison's camp used Michael leaving as leverage in the negotiations with [Warner Bros.]," says one Smallville source, who adds that Kristin Kreuk's decision to only return for a handful of episodes as Lana only strengthened Mack's bargaining position. "They need Chloe now more than ever — and Allison's people know it." (Mack's reps decline...

Smallville
It's taken all season, but Clark Kent is just about done rounding up all the prisoners he accidentally let escape from the Phantom Zone last fall. In tonight's Smallville season finale (8 pm/ET on the CW) he goes after the final fugitive. "The last Zoner is definitely trickier than the others, and will lead us into Season 7," previews executive producer Al Gough. "This won't be the last we hear from the Phantom Zone." It's not all bleak for Clarkie, though, as Lana (Kristin Kreuk) will be back on the market soon. Mrs. Luthor is going after Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) now that she knows he faked her pregnancy to manipulate her into marrying him. "She and Lex are way beyond marriage counseling," Gough says. "Now Lex is gonna find out what Lana's been up to
