Mike McCartney's Liverpool Life, which opens to the public on June 26, features incredible black-and-white photographs documenting the origins of the British Invasion.

"Mike McCartney is a terrific photographer," said Jim Henke, Vice President of Exhibitions and Curatorial Affairs at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. "On top of that, he was in the right place at the right time. He was in Liverpool, when so many U.S. artists were playing there, and when so many Liverpool bands -- including his brother's band, the Beatles -- were on the verge of greatness." Wow! What an amazing life he must have had during that era!

It was announced today that Michael Rosenbaum will be leaving the hit television series Smallville to pursue other endeavors. Lex Luther will take a backseat to a few other comic baddies (Doomsday and a yet-to-be-identified female vixen) coming to the scene next season, but he may not be gone completely.

"It has been an honor and pleasure to work with Michael for the past seven seasons. He is one of the best actors on television and has never failed to bring a new layer to the character of Lex Luthor in every episode. While Michael won’t be a series regular and we won’t have the pleasure of working with him on a weekly basis this fall, we like to think that we haven’t seen the last of Lex Luthor. Stay tuned," said Executive Producers Darren Swimmer, Todd Slavkin, Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson in a joint statement.

Michael wrote a letter to his fans about his departure. You can read it in its entirety below...
