January 10, 2002: Tom Welling in E! Online's "Sizzlin' 16"

E! Online has named Tom Welling (Clark Kent in "Smallville") amongst their "Sizzlin' 16" male celebrities to keep an eye on in 2002.

The E! cable network will showcase the "Sizzlin' 16" selections during a special presentation due to air on Saturday, February 2nd at 6pm in the U.S. The special will re-air on February 3rd at 2am and 10am and then again on February 4th at 3pm.

The "Sizzlin' 16" can also be seen online at the E! website. Here's a small excerpt from the Tom Welling page:
