Jared Padalecki Expecting a Boy

Jared Padalecki (Dean Forester on Gilmore Girls) and wife Genevieve Cortese, whom he met on the set of his show Supernatural, announced recently that they were expecting their first baby – and it’s a boy!

Jared says they’ve read “every book” about having a baby and pregnancy, so hopefully they’re well set! As for a name, Jared was interviewed recently and said:

“We’ve thrown around countless names, probably every one in the books, and a few that we kinda made up, but we both agree that we’d like to meet our child before we decide on a name.”

This is also a cute section between Jared and Gen:

We asked the parents-to-be what traits they’d like the baby to inherit from each respectively. Doting husband Jared said, “I could probably make a list pages long, but the most important traits that I hope the baby gets from Gen are her work ethic, her love of knowledge, her patience and her ability to empathize with those around her.” Equally smitten, Gen told Tonic, “I really hope the baby gets Jared’s lexicon, although that probably means I’ll be carrying around a dictionary all the time! I really hope baby gets dad’s sense of humor, work ethic, perseverance, athleticism, compassion, and kindness and of course…. toes!” She added, “Anything the baby gets from dad, I would be so proud.”

The couple has already raised $13k for St Jude Children’s Research Hospital. You can donate here.

Cutest couple ever on Halloween:

Jared talked with EW about the upcoming season, including how Sam is dealing with his ‘wall’ in his head being smashed to pieces. And he also talks about the most important question of all – his hair. They definitely do plan it!

Jared Padalecki Would Make a Gilmore Girls Movie

Jared Padalecki (Dean Forester on Gilmore Girls) was recently interviewed by Zap2it about the current state of Supernatural and his thoughts on a potential Gilmore Girls movie.

As Jared shares in the interview, he considers himself to be a very loyal person. For that reason, we won’t see him vacating his fans on Supernatural, just like he would support Gilmore Girls fans again, if it came to it. Would Jared Padalecki make a Gilmore Girls movie?

“One hundred percent!” he says. “I would love to. I really would truly love to. It was so fun. I have nothing but fond memories of that show. I came to it straight out of high school, I grew up on the show, and I’d love to go revisit that character.”

We love you Jared, thanks for all the continued support to your fans! :)

“Supernatural” Renewed for Season 7

Supernatural, which has seen a big boost in ratings (up 66%!!) and viewers since its move to Friday nights, has been renewed for its 7th season.

The 6th season is set to wrap up at the end of May, and it’s been a great season, in my opinion. I have preferred it to the 5th season, which felt like it was dragging out the Devil / God line too much. However, despite an over-arching theme to all of Season 6, with The Mother, I haven’t felt that here. There have been enough oddball episodes and monster fighting to keep it ‘light’, you know?

All of this is good news, as it means we’ll still have our regular dose of Jared Padalecki (Dean Forester on Gilmore Girls) on tv!

BuddyTV has a list of some of the things they’d like to see in the next season(s) of Supernatural, which I agree with. I love that the series can be so creative in its wacky episodes – the Western, the ‘real’ Jared & Jensen, and all of the fan extras tucked into the series.
