As some of you may have heard Clarks Kryptonian cousin, Kara Zor-El, will be joining the cast of Smallville this year. Well now we know who will be filling those shoes, and the rest of that sexy little outfit. It’s a relatively unknown 22 year old Canadian actress named Laura Vandervoort, and from the photos of her I think she pull of the part.

One of my favorite Sci-Fi Channel shows from last season, Eureka, returns tonight for its second season. If you didn’t get to see it last season you need to check it out.
