"In the first season of development under CW prexy Mark Pedowitz, a house cleaning would make way for highly promotable properties: the "Sex and the City" prequel "The Carrie Diaries," the DC Comics' adaptation "Arrow," the redo of the 1980s drama "Beauty and the Beast" and thriller "The Cult,""

"With so many CW shows — including this season’s entire freshman class — underperforming, will the network go for an extreme makeover with a slew of new series orders for next season? Along with early frontrunners ARROW and THE CARRIE DIARIES, I hear BEAUTY & THE BEAST came in good and is picking up momentum. CULT continues to be strong, with Hunger Games-esque THE SELECTION and medical drama FIRST CUT also in serious contention. For Cult, the CW has indicated it would use the cable model with shorter, uninterrupted seasons. Will the network pick up all six? While never done, I hear that is a possibility this year."

"The first time I remember someone discussing my appearance was in my early childhood. The discussion was centered around my ethnicity, and more specifically around “what I was.” This was not a traumatic experience, but it was confusing as I had not labeled myself in that way and had not actually seen that as a defining aspect of my self. Then I remember, in fifth grade, being teased about what I was wearing. And it escalated from there, both in a positive and negative way. I also participated in this labeling. I saw people who wore a lot of makeup and objectified them as shallow or frivolous. Why? I think it was pretty simple in a way: it made me feel better, more secure, less alone. At least for that moment.

When I think about how women are represented in the media, I feel very much like I did when I was a kid. But as an adult woman, I can think critically and I can choose how to take in these images or stories. I can reflect on why they affect me. I can choose to purchase only certain publications or watch certain shows. I can choose to create stories that I feel reflect my experience as a female more truly. Through my actions I can affect change. And if I am consuming product or media that is in contrast to what I say is important to me, I can seek to discover what compels me to do this and change it.

Women in the public eye are very important in this current system. Many young women and girls are very influenced by those in magazines, videos, movies or on TV. As one of those women, albeit on a much smaller scale than many, I see certain responsibilities. What kind of a world do I want to live in? What do I want to aspire toward? What would the world be like if girls grew up to be powerful, holistic women? How do the roles I choose, the photo shoots I participate in, and the stories I produce affect others? What kind of world am I promoting with these choices?"

Kristin's former Smallville co-star Erica Durance mentions Kristin in recent interview with Durancemagazine.org:

"M: You remain in contact with anybody from Smallville?

ED: Um, there is a person I contact the most. I’ve been in contact with Kristin. We get together a lot and actually that’s ironic because we didn’t work together very much. We hang out together a lot.

M: Yeah, I actually had wished there had been more Lois and Lana interaction.

ED: [laughs] We get together when we can, we’re both quite busy, but when we get a chance to…

M: Yeah I heard she was filming a pilot, Beauty and the Beast.

ED: Yeah, for the CW."
