Kahn Fired From Daily Planet

"Pauline" Kahn, a.k.a. Carrie Fisher, is no longer editor of The Daily Planet. Oh, Pauline, we hardly knew ye.

She’s being replaced on the Smallville series by Hidden Palms / The O.C.‘s Michael Cassidy. According to TV Guide.com, Cassidy will appear in at least six episodes and will be the next love interest of Lois Lane, doubtlessly leaving Oliver Queen all a-quiver.

Don’t know if he’ll be playing Perry White. The character was previously on Smallville a couple seasons ago, as played by 60 year-old Michael McKean, who just happens to be married to Martha Kent herself, Annette O’Toole. Since Cassidy is a mere 24 years old, such casting will look a little bizarre.

Hmmmm. Bizarr-o?
