OPERATION BIRTHDAY CARD!

Sat March 29th 2008 @ 5:52PM - Cindy - Tom Welling - 0 Comments

Some friends of mine have wanted to do something special for Tom for his birthday, something big like him; something big like the impact he's had on the show. I think it's a fine idea so I agreed to post their message.

If you participate, please make any messages short and sweet. Tom Welling, if a lot of people participate, will get a lot of cards and notes so a simple "Happy Birthday, Tom!" will probably be perfect.

If you want to give feedback to Valerie, see her post on her livejournal HERE.

Don't forget to get these out soon since Tom's 31st birthday is on April 26th, which is just a few days before SMALLVILLE is scheduled to stop filming.

MISSION OBJECTIVE:

To wish Tom Welling a very happy 31st birthday, and at the same time show this talented actor a little fandom love.

MISSION PARAMETERS:

Well, it’s really simple. Send a birthday card. That’s it! Or maybe, a postcard with a personalized greeting. Whatever works best for you. It’s not complicated. Make it a serious card, and write him a little note. Or find a funny card, and just sign your name. Make some SV artwork on your computer, print it out, and stick it in an envelope.

Like I said, its so simple! It's up to you to find the best way to wish the big guy an awesome B-Day!

The address to the Smallville studio is provided at the bottom of this message. It appears that the show will be filming until almost the very end of April, but that is fast approaching. So, we’ll need to get this mission underway with strike force like speed.

Unfortunately, due to the time crunch, there’s no time to try and gather up the greetings in one place, and send it in one big package. So, it’s up to all of you to join in on the mission, and send something yourself, directly. It’s just the cost of a card/postcard, and the postage to get it from where you are to Vancouver, BC, Canada.

And please, for those of you located outside of the USA and Canada, please consider joining the effort. You might have to get that mailed ASAP, but just think how cool it would be for him to get a birthday card from Australia? Or Brazil? Or Japan? Or France?

One request though. It would be nice if we could show that this is an organized effort. To do so, I believe all that’s required would be for all of us to include “OPERATION BIRTHDAY CARD” somewhere on the outside of your envelope. Let him know that we’re all in this together.

Feedback is totally welcome, and the more we can spread this message, the more mail the poor SV staff has to handle. Also, it would be really great to get an idea of how many people have decided to join us. So, if you could leave a message and let us know that you dropped something in the mail, we’d appreciate it. If you want to keep your participation anonymous, consider just sending an email or private message.

I think for those of us who came up with this idea, we just really wanted to do a “BIG” thing for Tom’s birthday, just this once. I know other actors on the show have had their birthdays celebrated by their fans by doing charity fund drives. Which is great! But all we’re asking is for you to send a card. And somehow, I think we’d all agree that the simplicity of the gesture seems most fitting for our Mr. Welling.

Signed

Valerie, Carol, Iliana and Pep

New Episode Tonight!

Thu March 27th 2008 @ 6:22PM - Cindy - Tom Welling - 0 Comments

For US residents, don't forget that there is another new episode on your local CW station tonight! This is the last one until the middle of April, when they will finish out the season with five fresh episodes in a row.

Last week's was a wonderful episode for Tom, he did a marvelous job (see what I thought about it in my review on KryptonSite.com), but it didn't get very high ratings. So, I wanted to remind people to catch tonight's if possible. I don't know much about it, but what I do know this episode will be an important one for Tom's character. Clark works on a new superpower, so tune in if you can!

NOTE: Tom has pulled ahead in the TV Guide poll I posted a few days ago, but they're taking multiple votes. So vote often!

Vote for Tom!

Okay, there's another one of those silly online polls. However, if you're anything like me you want Tom to win, right?

Well, TV Guide.com has a new poll and Tom's up for the Sexiest Sci-Fi Guy on TV and he's losing to guys from Battlestar Galactica, Termintor: The Sarah Conner Chronicles, and Moonlight.

Please end this injustice! Vote for Tom right HERE!

NOTE: Tom has pulled ahead, probably with your votes, so thanks but make sure to vote if you haven't already!

Tom will direct the pivotal 150th Episode of Smallville

Sat March 22nd 2008 @ 4:24AM - Cindy - Tom Welling - 0 Comments

US Entertainment Magazine Entertainment Weekly did a Spring TV special where they updated fans on the status of their favorite shows and what will be coming up. In the Smallville blurb they disclosed that the 150th episode, entitled "Apocalypse" according to my friend Craig over on KryptonSite, will be directed by Tom.

I had enjoyed Tom's previous efforts behind the camera. However, just going from the title alone this episode is certainly to be an action-packed one. Tom's gotten to be quite the talented director in the few short years since he started, but he will likely have his work cut out for him.

The fact that he's been given such an important milestone episode to helm that is set to air during the May Sweeps Period must be gratifying to him after all his hard work. It shows how much they trust him and how strongly they believe in his growing skill as a director.

The episode Tom is directing will air in the US on May 1st.

Smallville Has Been Picked up for Season 8!

Tue March 4th 2008 @ 2:02AM - Cindy - Tom Welling - 0 Comments

In case you've missed the news, the show is going to be around one more year!

That there is going to be another season of Smallville should certainly make all of Tom Welling's fans very, very happy. I know it makes me happy.

Original episodes in the US return on March the 13th, so please show Tom your support and tune in.

If you want to read the official verbiage of the announcement, our friend over on KryptonSite, Craig Byrne, has posted the press release online.
