BURBANK, CA – April 6, 2011 – With the help of The CW’s “America’s Next Top Model,” Ford Motor Company is kicking off its 17th year of working with Susan G. Komen for the Cure to help awareness and support the fight against breast cancer.
The Ford Warriors in Pink campaign recognizes the strength and courage it takes to face the challenges of fighting breast cancer 365 days a year, and The CW’s “America’s Next Top Model” will be joining the campaign to help raise awareness in an episode airing Wednesday, April 6 (8:00-9:00p.m. ET/PT). The Ford Warriors and Pink and “America’s Next Top Model” relationship will be integrated throughout the entire episode and will feature the 12 symbols of the Warrior, each of which is designed to represent the powerful and courageous fighters and supporters in the battle against breast cancer.
“Ford Warriors in Pink and ‘America’s Next Top Model’ share a common goal to empower women and encourage others to join us in the fight against breast cancer,” said Crystal Worthem, Brand Content and Alliance Manager for Ford Motor Company. “Through this partnership, we can spread the early detection message and help raise breast cancer awareness.”
One “America’s Next Top Model” contestant will be chosen to appear in Ford’s national print campaign featuring the 2011 line of Ford Warriors in Pink apparel and accessories. Ford Warriors in Pink will also feature the women and men who inspired the program – breast cancer survivors and supporters – modeling the new apparel and accessories on www.fordcares.com.
The print campaigns encourage fans to support the cause and rally together in true Warriors fashion by logging on to www.fordcares.com and donning Ford Warriors in Pink gear. One hundred percent of net proceeds form the gear benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure all year long.
“The CW and everyone involved with ‘America’s Next Top Model’ are proud to join forces with Ford Warriors in Pink and help do our part to raise breast cancer awareness among our core young female audience,” said Alison Tarrant, Executive Vice President, Integrated Sales & Marketing, The CW. “Not only does our partnership with Warriors in Pink allow us to spread a positive message about such an important cause, but it also gives us one of this cycle’s most exciting and dramatic episodes of ‘Top Model.’”
Ford limited edition Warriors in Pink apparel and accessories are created for women, men and children and feature important symbols signifying the message of hope, strength and unity in the commitment to the fight against breast cancer.

MICHAEL ROSENBAUM RETURNS AS LEX LUTHOR FOR THE SMALLVILLE SERIES FINALE
February 17, 2011 by J!-ENT · Leave a Comment
February 16, 2011 (Burbank, California) – Michael Rosenbaum will reprise his role as Lex Luthor in the series finale of SMALLVILLE on Friday, May 13 (8:00-10:00 p.m. ET.)
“I’m delighted to return for the series finale,” says Rosenbaum. “I’m simply doing it for all of the fans out there who made SMALLVILLE the great success it is. I appreciate all of their passion, their relentlessness and even their threats. Ha ha. I can’t wait to hug the old crew back in Vancouver one last time and see all of my old friends once again. Oh, and for Lex to become the badass he’s destined to be.”
Executive producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders added, “It feels like the stars are aligning, literally. We couldn’t be more excited about having Michael back. And as far as the way he returns, there’ll be no doubt about how Lex becomes the great rival in Clark Kent’s life. He is the villain of the story.”
Rosenbaum exited at the end of season seven after Lex confronted Clark (Tom Welling) in the Fortress of Solitude. Years of secrets came to a head as Clark’s former friend finally discovered the truth about Clark’s alien heritage. The rivalry between the two culminated into a final showdown and crumbled, literally, under an icy avalanche as the Fortress fell. Lex’s body was never found. Now, Lex has risen from the ashes to fulfill his place in destiny as Clark Kent’s greatest nemesis.
SMALLVILLE was developed for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar (“Shanghai Noon,” “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor”), based on the DC Comics characters. Kelly Souders & Brian Peterson serve as executive producers, along with James Marshall, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins, Joe Davola and Tom Welling. The series is produced by Tollin/Robbins Productions, Millar/Gough Ink and Warner Bros. Television. SUPERMAN was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

February 15, 2011 by J!-ENT · Leave a Comment
The CW will present the series finale of SMALLVILLE as an epic two-hour television event on Friday, May 13 (8:00-10:00 p.m. ET.)
The story of a young Clark Kent (Tom Welling) and his journey to become the Man of Steel has captivated audiences for a decade. This final season, Clark attempts to find a balance between saving the world, which becomes even more difficult as the Vigilante Registration Act separates a nation, and spending time with his new fiancée Lois Lane (Erica Durance). Whether it’s donning glasses as a disguise, changing in a phone booth or learning how to fly, this season has put Clark closer to his destiny than ever before. Taking on Darkseid and battling the darkest of his demons, this two-hour event will send Clark soaring towards his birthright to secure his place in history as the world’s greatest protector.
“Paying homage to 10 seasons is no small task, and wrapping up each character and story arc has been extremely important to everyone involved in the show,” said executive producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders. “We’re excited to be able to make the final moments of SMALLVILLE a television event, as the character we’ve grown up with makes his legendary transformation.”
Please note SUPERNATURAL will be pre-empted on May 13 but will return with a two-hour season finale on Friday, May 20 (8:00-10:00 p.m. ET.)
