Gossip Girl

• Chuck Bass, always and forever.
  
• Jenny Humphrey finally washed off the Heavy Eye Liner of Rebellion. We like our fresh-faced Little J!
  
• Nate is starting to get interesting! We can't say we agree with his method of choosing a girlfriend (like Jackie says, he apparently dates anyone who's standing in front of him at that moment), but we're liking the Nate/Jenny/Vanessa dynamic.

One Tree Hill

• The Scott Family -- Nathan, Haley and Jamie. It's great to see such a loving young family on TV!
  
• The folks on One Tree Hill are still able to surprise us, either by going for a completely cheeserific theme episode, or by turning up the dial on the drama, like in the most recent episode.
  
• Nanny Carrie is seriously, honestly, not-coming-back dead. We don't mind Ghost Q, but we better never see Nanny Carry haunting anyone!

Last week, we left off with the boys and Ruby facing off against Castiel and Uriel in a bid to protect Anna. This week, we see the fight. Uriel immediately goes for Ruby, and it's Dean who saves her. We know! Who woulda thunk it? Castiel does the finger-tip knockout trick on Sam (nice skill to have), and he's just about to enter the room where Anna's hiding when the angels are dragged away by some force. It turns out Anna knew some sort of blood spell that can boot angels into the next celestial zip code. How did THAT happen?

The boy aim to find out -- they bring Anna back to Bobby's demon-thwarting safe house and call in Pamela, the psychic who got her eyes melted when they first tried to find Castiel. See, when Anna was a toddler, she went through a phase when she was claiming her father wasn't her REAL father, and that her actual dad was so mad at her that he wanted to kill her. That's a lot for a two-and-a-half-year-old kid to bear! Pamela puts her under and asks Anna to think back -- which causes Anna to panic and throw Dean across the room when he tries to calm her. But when Pamela brings Anna out of the trance, she remembers everything -- she's a fallen angel who disobeyed God's orders and fell to earth.

Probably the highlight of the Supernatural convention this weekend was seeing Jensen and Jared on stage together. As always, these boys just play off each other so beautifully, and the crowd was loving it. On to the highlights!

• Jensen wandered on stage just when Jared was trying to answer a question about Sam and Ruby. "Saved by the Dean!" Jared quipped.
• Jared had made a great show about sticking the microphone up his nose and rubbing it under his armpits when he was alone on stage. When Jensen joined him, Jared tried to give him that mic. Jensen refused. "He knows!" Jared crowed. "I don't, I just trust me instincts," Jensen replied. They've been doing this for a while!
• A fan asked what they'd like their action figures to look like, and what sort of special features they'd want to have. "I'd want to be taller," Jensen said. "I'd want to be taller than he was tall," Jared replied. Plus, "I want to be able to ipecac," Jared said. "And I want arms to bend at the elbow so I cold still eat -- and I'd have some disgusting friend food in my hand," Jensen added.
• Jared turned to Jensen and marveled that there were so many people. "All here to see me," Jensen quipped. "All here to see you introduce me," Jared shot back. "Yeah, but you went on first," Jensen rejoined. Point to Jensen!
• Fans kept identifying themselves as Dean Girls or Sam Girls, Jared Lovers of Jensen Lovers. The boys had a great time competing to say that the women in their camp were the funniest, the prettiest, the smartest and the most awesome.
• A fan asked why one thing they'd ask their characters. Jared: "Why do you always drop your gun?" Jensen: "Why must you eat all the time?"
• Someone told Jared there had been a lot of speculation about a Gilmore Girls movie. "Oh, please!" Jensen squealed (in a manly fashion.)
• What sort of monster would they like to get written into the script? Jensen: "Nessie. Done." Jared: "Any sort of demon or ghost who haunts Hawaii." The boy s both agreed they'd love to take on a spectral surfer -- especially because they'd need to film on location!
• A fan asked the guys if they spoke any other languages, and if they could say "Happy birthday" to her in that language. Jared wished her "Feliz cumpelaños," while Jensen broke into Canadian -- "Happy birthday, eh?"
• A fan asked if they'll remain friends after the series ends. Both boys started shaking their heads. "No, I'm going to block his calls.”I'm not going to read his fan mail to me anymore. "I'm going to change the locks." "I'll take that as a yes," the fan said. Hee!
• Neither actor has any tattoos -- and there's a reason for that. Jensen talked about Jamie King, his co-star in My Bloody Valentine 3-D, having to spend two and a half extra hours in the make-up chair to cover up her nine tattoos. "I'd rather sleep."
• Speaking of sleeping -- who takes the longest to get ready in the morning? Jensen started shaking his head and pointing at Jared. "I'm going to write a book and call it 'Waiting on Jared'," he said. Jared protested: "I have my dogs that I have to let out, it's my house that I have to lock up, I work out in the morning..." "And I'm waiting in the car," Jensen finished. So yes, Jensen said, in response to a fan suggestion: "Jared is the girl."

That's it for the session reports. But stay tuned -- we've got exclusive interviews with all the guests, including Jared and Jensen! We'll have video of them, Gabriel Tigerman, Samantha Smith, Richard Speight Jr., Chad Lindberg and Charles Malik Whitfield over the upcoming weeks. Plus, look for a photo gallery, footage of fans, and lots more!

We want to say thanks to the Creation Entertainment folks, who helped us out and kept everything moving along -- they do a great job getting the actors fans love to hear from, and at keeping everyone happy. Without their help, we never would have been able to talk to all the stars and get you the exclusive scoop. Thanks!

OK, folks, get ready for the Jensen report! You know how we gushed about Jared? It’s just the same for Jensen. What a sweetheart! Here are some highlights:

• A fan asked about Jensen’s least favorite episode, and some of the fans in the audience suggested Bugs (it wasn’t me, I swear!). Jensen says he can’t really hate any episode – there’s always something he appreciates about each one. However, he does admit to being less than pleased with In the Beginning. Not because it was a bad episode, but because he worked the whole week while Jared took the time off and went to Hawaii!
• Another fan who’d been waiting to ask a question of Jared, asked just what happened to Sam’s hair. “That’s awesome!” Jensen laughed. It’s the nature of the beast that episode hair gets weird. “I think he just wants to cut it off,” he said – which provoked howls from the fans.
• Jensen was amazed at the fan reaction to Eye of the Tiger – it was just a goof! He did oblige the fans by playing a little air guitar on his leg. Then he grimaced – “I think I pulled a hammy!”
• He said all the bits we see on the gag reel are spontaneous – and that he modeled his cat-in-the-locker scream after a gag-reel scream Jared did on Jus in Bello.
• He thinks he would have gotten along with Dean in high school – but that he would have been the one who pulled Dean out of scrapes and got him out of trouble. And yes, he did know some guys in high school that he taps into for Deanisms.
• The Disco Room from Provenance is the one that made the most impression on him. And all those rooms with the Magic Fingers? They were great, but they involved “some big, sweaty grip” lying under the bed and shaking it!
• Will season five be the end of the show? Jensen said actually, Kripke had envisioned season four being the end. Then the ratings went through the roof this season, and “[Kripke] was like, ‘Aw, crap. I don’t know, I guess I’m going to have to write about robots or something.’”
• A network exec was highly disturbed about the suicidal teddy bear scene, and wanted it cut. Jensen’s reaction – “Have you WATCHED the show? We have people’s eyes bleeding and guts ripped out, and you’re worried about teddy bear stuffing on the wall?”
• A fan from Beijing taught Jensen to say “I love you” in Mandarin. He put it to use through the rest of the session.
• What would he do if he weren’t an actor? He’s thought fisherman (“Maybe not The Deadliest Catch-type fisherman…”), a pro athlete (“although I’m not really pro-sports material”) or… “Stripper!” some fans shouted. “Or a male stripper was my third choice. There’s a career somewhere in there.”
• Favorite flavor of cake? “Chocolate on chocolate. With chocolate in it, and then chocolate sprinkles on top. With a big dish of chocolate on the side.” The fan asking the question thanked him and walked off. “Dark chocolate!” he called after her. SOMEone’s angling for a cake…
• His favorite weapon is a Colt. All the guns are loaded with blanks – which can still be dangerous. That doesn’t stop Jensen and Jared from occasionally shooting each other in the back at random intervals, which Jensen acted out. “That’s what Texas guys do when they’re bored…”

All right, folks, we’re here with part one of the main event. Jared was funny, gracious, adorable, snarky and everything else you’d expect. He seemed shocked by the size of the crowd – and by how much fun he was having! Here are some highlights:

• One of the first fans started off by saying she had a question, then said she know there had been a lot of stories about his dog. “That’s not a question, that’s a statement! I told you, my mom’s an English teacher…”
• He did share one dog story – the guys and some friends were watching a football game that went late, and Jared got a picture of Jensen snoring away with his dogs shoving their noses into his face – “their big dog lips pressed against him. My three dogs!” he said, then specified – “That’s D-A-W-Gs, ok? Don’t tell Jensen!”
• Jared rejected flight as a superpower – “We can already do that in planes!” Instead, he’d be Aquaman – “without the orange scales and green tights.”
• He jumped off stage to hug someone, then stumbled getting back on stage. “Isn’t it obvious I have a stunt double – I’m winded and injured.”
• Someone asked about what it was like working with the Olsen Twins. He initially tried to deny it, but then said they were some of the most businesslike people he’d ever met. Thanks for coming, the fan said. “Yeah, and thanks for bringing THAT up,” he replied.
• Jared got asked about his “hand of ipecac” (the ability to make possessed people spew up demons, after a syrup that induces vomiting). He was incredulous. The next fan started her question “Now that we know Sam is a necrophiliac…” “A feisty crowd shows up here in Chicago!” he said, somewhat incredulous.
• Someone asked if Sam really had a thing for the bearded lady back in Everyone Loves a Clown. “No, that was Jensen, in real life. Sam just likes dead chicks.”
• Not laughing can be a real problem during shooting, especially in episodes like Yellow Fever. As funny as Dean’s cat scream was, he said, there were other shots where he did it better – “but they couldn’t use it because I’m just losing it.”
• A fan asked if he cringed when he saw Sera Gamble’s name on a script. “Yes,” he replied, “because it usually means I’m getting naked, crying, or getting naked AND crying.”
• He was inspired to get into acting when a girl he had a crush on in school was all about Jonathan Taylor Thomas on Home Improvement. :I had a vendetta against him,” he said. Then he showed up at an audition where JTT was also reading, and celebrated that he was taller. Come on, Jared – you’re taller than EVERYONE!
• What’s one of the things on his life list – things he wants to do before he dies? “Turn 100,” he deadpanned.
• He’s really glad Sam isn’t getting strangled as much on the show this season, if only because gasping for air and wheezing when he’s recording additional dialog makes him light-headed.

We're checking up on Supernatural convention news – and yes, we’re still having a blast. Yesterday, we got to see Chad Lindberg work the crowd like nobody’s business. This is a man who’s just as bent on having a good time as his character, Ash!

Chad thrilled the crowd by bringing in a very special guest – his itty-bitty nephew, Ivan. Chad tried to inaugurate Ivan into the Cult of the Mullet by putting a mullet-bearing John Deere hat on the toddler’s head, but Ivan rejected it – violently. Apparently not everyone likes the “business in the front, party in the back” way of life.

Other crowd-pleasing maneuvers: Chad jumped off the stage to hug fans, did a supermodel-style catwalk strut down the center aisle so everyone could get a good picture, and wore that child-size John Deere cap with attached mullet to truly channel Ash.

Other highlights:

• Does Chad think Ash is dead? “No! I think Ash is way to intelligent to get burned up in the Roadhouse.” He imagines that Ash is “on the open road in his jeep, letting the wind blow through his hair, with his arms around some lovely ladies.” There were some volunteers for “lovely ladies” duty in the audience!
• Would this version of Ash-in-hiding get rid of the mullet to disguise his identity? No way, said Chad. “The mullet is who he is. He might put it up in a bun, though.”
• Chad shot down the notion that he had a mullet himself when he was growing up. – He was pretty clean-cut, he said.
• Because most of Ash’s scenes were filming in the studio, he didn’t have to worry about walking around town with the mullet. It took about an hour to put on every day. Did he ever forget his was wearing it? No way – “It got itchy.”
• His favorite on-set moment was filing the scene where the boys were confronted by a pantsless Ash, just because Jensen and Jared has such a hard time keeping a straight face.
• Chad says he shares his “spunk” with Ash, but that’s about it – “I’m not really MIT smart.”
• One of the coolest moments was when Chad showed off some of his tattoos. The most important to me was a version of the breast cancer ribbon. His mom is a survivor and the whole family got their own breast-cancer-ribbon tattoo when she got through treatment.
• Chad seems to have been one of the few people to have escaped an encounter with Jared’s dogs. (Yes, someone asked!)

  We’ll be back this afternoon with news from the Jensen and Jared session. Keep checking, and keep commenting!

We’ve got more from the convention! We just caught Charles Malik Whitfield’s session, and yes, he’s just as fantastic as we expected. Here are some of the high points:

• Malik was ready for Agent Henricksen to join the boys in his fight against evil – so he was not happy when he found out he died! “You’re killing me? But… I get it! I want to be an ally and help in the crusade!” We think that would have been awesome!
• A fan asked what kind of awesome Huntermobile Henricksen would have driven, if he HAD survived and HAD ditched his day job to become a full-time Hunter. But Malik had a different approach. “I’ve thought about it – I’d be a fugitive, and the FBI would be coming after me. I would be so much fun to be the guy who would pick up random cars. Someone would come outside and say ‘Where’s my car?” And I’d be saying ‘Yeah, I’ve got it, I’ll see you in the next scene.’”
• He wasn’t initially interested in auditioning for the role, but one of his agent’s assistants insisted he go. Thank you, assistant!
• He can’t pick a favorite line from the show, because Henricksen had so many good ones! “I’d b thinking, did they really give me that line? Because on a lot of shows, like in sitcoms, if the lines are too good on the other side, it takes away from the main character.” That was never a problem on THIS show, he said.
• If he could have a superpower, he’d go all Magneto on us.
• Malik confessed to being a problem child – he grew up in The Bronx during the crack cocaine epidemic, and he sold drugs as a kid. A mentor of his introduced him to acting, and initially he wasn’t impressed. Then he wrote a monolog about a friend who had died, and a kid who saw it came up and thanked him, saying he felt like Malik was speaking right to him. “That blew me away. For the first time I felt like my words were important.”

We’ll be back with later! Keep checking back!

Hello again from the Supernatural convention! We just saw Samantha Smith, who plays Mary Winchester. Good news: She's a fan of the show! Yes, she started watching because she was in it, but that first episode got her hooked.

This was Samantha's first convention, but she took to it naturally, bantering with fans and delving into episode issues. Here are some of the highlights:

• The boys never pranked Samantha -- "They know better because I'm their mother!"
• When asked to sum up the experience of working with Jeffrey Dean Morgan in three words of less, her response was "Sadly, no kissing." Hee!
• She had no idea that Mary had been a Hunter in her youth -- "Kripke said nothing. I've been meaning to have a word with him..." -- but she said the revelation made sense. Plus, she was happy that her character had been such a badass!
• Her most challenging assignment on Supernatural came in What Is And What Should Never Be, when all of a sudden she had to be "a normal person with a personality," instead of an ethereal and occasionally flaming) idealized mother figure.
• Samantha loves the show, but she prefers the episodes that are creepy, not gory. But she TiVos them and watches them during the day – they’re too scary for her to watch after dark!
• Her favorite supernatural adversary that the boys have encountered was the Trickster. Not the Yellow-Eyed Demon? “No. The actor was lovely, and the character was great and snarky, but he killed me, he tried to kill my kids, he killed my husband… I hold a grudge.”
• Although the audience is divided on Ruby, Samantha is willing to give her the benefit of the doubt: “Just like there can be fallen angels, there can be good demons, too.”
• Even Samantha has a dog story – she has a 3 1/2 pound Yorkshire terrier who isn’t even big enough to go down the trailer stairs by itself. One say, as she was sitting in the trailer with the door open, one of Jared’s enormous dogs came tearing up the steps into the trailer. Her tiny Yorkie bit Jared's huge hound on the nose. Jared’s dog “went flying across the field, and he never bothered my trailer again.”

Next up at the Supernatural Con – Richard Speight, Jr., the man who brought The Trickster to mischievous life. This was Richard’s very first convention, so he begged the crowd to be gentle with him. He needn’t have worried – the crowd loved him!

Richard was all set to talk about Supernatural, but first he got a few questions about other projects – Band of Brothers, Jericho, even Earnest Goes to Camp. Things we never knew about Jim Varney – he drove a DeLorean, he wore leather pants, and he had good tips for how to win a knife fight. All righty then!

Things we learned about Richard:

• Richard had no idea what he was getting into on the show – he’d worked with producer Robert Singer before so he didn’t have to audition for the part. His agent told him he was going up to Vancouver to play a janitor. He didn’t read the script until he was on the plane – and that’s when he figured out he was playing a god!
  
• The fight scene at the end of Tall Tales was “one of the easiest days work I have ever had.” He just had to sit there, laugh and applaud while Jared and Jensen got their butts kicked. The one hazard? He had to keep eating candy bars. “But you don’t get a lot of sympathy for having to eat too much chocolate!”
  
• Still, Richard wasn’t feeling too bad for Jensen – “He was getting punched by girls in bustiers. I was not weeping for him.”
  
• Will the Trickster be coming back? “I’ll know that just a few weeks before you do,” he said. He’s sure hoping, though – and so are we!
  
• Richard has a unique take on why the Trickster was trying to hard to break through to Sam in Mystery Spot – because the boys were just too perfect! “I think there’s something about the boys that rubs the Trickster raw. There are these two dudes that are so good looking and are best buddies and they fight evil…. Nobody likes those dudes! They’re so loyal to each other that it really chaps the Trickster’s hide.”
  
• The guys never pranked Richard, but he did get one heck of a surprise – he was going to meet the guys in Jensen’s trailer to watch a Cowboys game, but he accidentally went to the wrong trailer – and met Jared’s huge, slavering dogs. Oops!

Hey, everyone. I'm here at the Supernatural con, an already things are awesome! We just talked to Gabriel Tigerman, who played Andy, and he's even more of a sweetheart than we imagined. Too bad he just got married!

Gabriel had the crowd eating out of his hand as he talked about his experience playing Andy. He bounced all over the place, jumping from his love for the TV show Dexter to his shock that some of the fans thought Andy used his mind powers to force women in to bed with him. He might have used his mind mojo to impress a girl, he said, but Andy was far too good a guy to do anything beyond that.

Other highlights:

• Gabriel was sad to learn that he was no longer the only non-Winchester to drive the Metallicar. "Did Bobby trick anyone with his min to drive it?" he asked. Nope - but he id use the car to rod-haul and kill a ghost. "That's pretty good," he admitted. "But I was first!"
• Gabriel was asked about a "discussion" he ha with Kripke after he found out Andy was doomed. "It was less discussion than me pleading for Andy's life, and promising countless fan complaints, letters full of tears." Gabriel sighed. "He ignored that."
• He holds out hope that Andy can come back -- and he's not the only one! The driver who took him to set the day Andy died was quite depressed about the news. After about five minute, he perked up an asked "Did they burn your body and salt your bones?" he asked. Nope, Gabriel replied. "Oh, then you're good!" the driver replied. "You can come back as a demon or any number of things." Here's hoping!
• Gabriel didn't get pranked on set much (short of being shown horrific picture's on the guys' camera phone right before he was supposed to shoot an emotional scene), but he remembers walking across the set and hearing Jensen yell "God dammit" from his trailer -- proof that Jared had gotten him again.
• One of his favorite scenes from his first episode was when Dean was forced to tell the truth. But the high point? That would be driving the Metallicar, or course! Even that was fraught with peril -- when he got in the car, he drove off very, very slowly -- his didn't want to endanger the car!
• Gabriel had auditioned for the pat of the lovelorn grad student who raised a zombie girlfriend in Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things. We can't help but thing that Andy was a much better part!
• Going to the set and share a back seat with Jared's dogs did not go well -- the dogs got Gabriel's coffee!

There's plenty more to come. Keep checking back for more coverage from the con!

Dean is appalled to see Ruby again, and he makes his displeasure known. Ruby ignores him-- she's got news of a girl who escaped from a mental institution, and some big-gun demons are after her. There's a reason for that: Anna, the girl, can eavesdrop on angels. She knows about the war, the potential apocalypse, Lilith and the 66 seals -- the whole shebang. And from what she's been hearing ... well, things aren't good. There are more than 600 seals, she says to her shrink. Lilith only needs to break 66 of them. "That's why it's nearly impossible to stop her. That's why the angles are losing. That's why we're all going to die." Yipe!

When a demon possesses an orderly and tries to take Anna, something seriously weird happens -- a chest of drawers slides across the room at great speed and knows him out. Did Anna do that? However it happened, she escaped, and she scampered to her church to hide out.

That's right, we'll be talking with Gabriel Tigerman (Andy), Samantha Smith (Mary), Chad Lindberg (Ash), Charles Mailk Whitfield (Agent Henricksen) and Richard Speight Jr. (The Trickster). What do you want to know? Post in the comments, and we'll see if we can get their answers!

Plus, we're plotting and planning and making deals with demons, angels and whatever other unnatural entity will take our calls to spend a little bit of time with Jared and Jensen themselves! The boys will be swamped with admirers, of course, but we're pretty sure we've accumulated enough celestial hit points to be granted an audience with at least one of them. So -- what would you ask Jensen or Jared?

Let us know if you'll be at the show -- we'll be roaming the halls with a camera, talking to fans, checking out the sessions, and taking in all the actions. If you can't attend the show, fear not --we'll be blogging the whole thing. So keep checking back all weekend for all the scoop!

We've reached the end of season one of Supernatural and we're still recovering from the utter fabulousness -- the utter Kripkeosity of it all. There was so much to love: Meg returns! Bobby is introduced! Evil John! Blood, guts and terror! And let's not forget -- the mother of all Kripkes!

Mia and I debate which Winchester boy seems more prone to remorse, talk about the the ethics of dealing with people possessed by demons (although alas, demons don't see any ethical problems in possessing us), dissect the saddest scene of the season, and revel in that quintessential Kripke closing. Plus, find out when our DVD started to act like it was possessed -- what could it mean?

We also talk about a whole bunch of fan-made art -- a specific comic from The Dean Show Slumber Party, Big Pink's Bear Hunt comics, and the fabulous Plastic!Winchester Theater. If you haven't seen these, check them out!

The boys come to town after a woman reports an encounter with a ghost. It came to her as she was getting out of the shower, scaring the crap out of her. When she ran, she fell down the stairs. The ghost followed her downstairs and helped her up, and kept saying "Please, don't tell my mom!" Hee!

After that things get weird weirder. A local (small-h) hunter claims to have encountered Bigfoot, and when the boys check, they see really, really big footprints. They follow them to a liquor store, where they discover the monster cleaned out the foofy drinks and the porn. When they leave the store, they see a cute little girl on her bike, laden down with bottle and porn. She drops it off at the story with a note of apology.

The boys visit a bucolic town when a man who dipped into the Halloween candy stash two days before the even ends up with a mouth -- and stomach, and trachea -- full of razor blades. Gross! The guys find a hex bag in the house, so they know they're dealing with a witch. Trouble is, they can't figure out why a witch would have it in for the victim. The next day, a teenage girl at a (lame) Halloween party is boiled alive when she bobs for apples. There seems to be no connection between the victims. Maybe the witch has something else in mind?

That something else is Samhain, a particularly destructive demon who was the original reason for the season. (Wiccans, Celtic scholars, etc. -- we know this isn't accurate. We're just recapping what we were told.) In the bad old days, people put on masks to hide from him, left out food as an offering, and carved pumpkins for dramatic effect. But the candy-and-costume lobby co-opted the fearsome celebration, and out Halloween was born. Every 600 years, witches get another shot at bringing him back. Lucky us -- this is one of those years.

It's the penultimate episode of Season 1 of Supernatural and once again, we loved Salvation. Massive tension, big baddies, action and angst, and one of the most perfect "previously on" music montages ever set to film. Rock on!

The Winchester men are finally banding together to take down the evil demon who killed Mary, and it looks like they've got him cornered. John worked out a pattern that shows where the demon will appear next -- and they'll be waiting for him. Unfortunately, Meg is back, and she's slicing her way though everyone who's ever so much as talked to a Winchester. So once again, the family splits up -- Sam and Dean stay to try to take out the demon, while John goes off to Nebraska to try to fool Meg with a fake Colt. What could go wrong?

Everything, of course -- but that's what makes this episode so unutterably kick-ass. Mia and I debate John's preparation skills (and have some handy hints for other Hunters), voice our appreciation for eeeeeeevil Meg, and ponder the three most frustrating (and exciting) words on television -- "To Be Continued."
