Also, check out this awesome photogallery from McKey's visit to the station -- including pics of her hoisting Sheena in a fireman's carry!

It's hard to believe last night was the finale for America's Next Top Model Cycle 11! Time flies when you're having fun. We were down to the final three: Analeigh, Samantha and McKey and we've got to be honest - at the beginning of Cycle 11, these were not the three we had picked to make it to the finale. That being said, watching their skills mature throughout the season was inspiring.

Cycle 10 winner Whitney joined the girls to introduce a new lip gloss from Cover Girl that's supposed to brighten your smile. Unfortunately for the girls, the commercial they shot not only had them memorizing lines - but lines in a foreign language. Oh, and they had to kiss another hot male model. What was with all of the kissing going on this cycle? Sam didn't have much energy during her attempt at a Cover Girl commercial. McKey's performance got progressively better in terms of line delivery but her head twitches didn't impress Mr. Jay. Poor Analeigh had a meltdown during her commercial taping.

Jim de Yonker, who has been the photographer for the Cover Girl shoot for many seasons, directed the three finalists and it seemed clear that McKey was his favorite even though he called her "a bit cuckoo in the head".

There could only be two models walking the final runway show and unfortunately for Analeigh, her time as a Top Model contestant was up. She was now free to drink wine with her bestie, Marjorie. We were sad to see her go since she has always had such a great attitude and seemed to stay out of any of the drama.

Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen Magazine, Ann Shocket, greeted McKey and Sam for their Seventeen Magazine photo shoot. Both of the girls "astounded" her with the photos being taken. It seemed like anybody's game going into the runway show.

Mr. Jay came up with an amazing Candyland meets Dr. Seuss runway filled with hills and turns. Both Samantha and McKey nailed their runway walks but Samantha had some problems getting her second outfit on which seemed to peeve Mr. Jay.

At panel, the judges loved McKey's walk and the attitude she gave in her face. Samantha's critique was similarly great but Tyra noted the "worry" in her mouth which was a bit too pronounced. The judges went through the entire cycle of photos for both of the girls and (as is to be expected for two finalists) most of the commentary was glowing. The judges agreed, both of the girls had come a long way but it was McKey who ended up taking the prize as the Cycle 11 winner of America's Next Top Model.

What did you think of this cycle? Was there anyone else you thought should have been the winner? Let us know in the comments!

And who can blame her? She lives in a house with a bunch of size two and fours and she works in an office populated by people one bout of the flu away from their ideal weight. Even the most confident person would fall under the pressure. And for the record, crying and locking yourself in the bathroom is a sure sign of cracking up. We’re just confused as to why Danielle didn’t take full advantage of the well-stocked closet. If this journey has taught our little fashion plates anything, it’s that accessories can make or break an outfit. D -- score some righteous shoes and uncover a dazzling piece of jewelry. Nicole Kidman wore a basic black dress to last year’s Academy Awards, but that multi-layered diamond necklace taking up her entire upper torso made the ensemble red-carpet worthy.

In a scene straight outta “The Devil Wears Prada,” the contestants flank Anne at her soiree to identify all of the incoming guests. Our remaining six prepared the night before for the challenge by studying the names and faces of everyone on the guest list. Well, some studied. Johanna made flash cards and quizzed herself until the wee hours, while her teammate Kate decided to stuff her face with popcorn and snuggle up in bed. When the moment of truth came, Kate was too busy checking out her lip gloss in the ceiling mirror to notice guests even attended the function and all of Johanna’s preparation failed her, while Team Megan quickly picked up the slack. It was a depressing sight.

Kate squeaked by, which just irks us more and more each week. Johanna breathed a sigh of relief when Danielle got the boot. We’re disappointed to say goodbye to D, but it would have just broken our hearts to lose Johanna after watching her work so hard and worry so much.

They’re dropping like flies over at Elle. What did you think of this week? At least Megan kept her snotty quips to a minimum.

Last night's episode of 90210 was filled with lessons about family and friendship which, as with anything 90210-related, are more complicated than usual.

When we left off last week, Annie and Naomi's brawl was interrupted by a surprise appearance from their half-brother, Sean. The two girls stop arguing long enough to bring him into the house to introduce their new brother to Harry, who looks like a deer caught in headlights.

Annie and Ethan are taking their relationship to the next level and making out in the hallways. Ethan goes as far as saying, "We're so together we're like Siamese twins...except not related. And sexually attracted to each other." When Ozzie comes over to taunt Naomi, he sees the new couple making out and tries to offer comfort but Naomi basically tells him to get lost.

Harry has told Kelly about the events that took place at Annie's birthday party and wants Naomi and Annie to talk about their new brother. When the discussion turns to how Annie and Ethan went behind Naomi's back, Kelly tries to tell the girls not to let a guy come between them. She is, after all, an expert on the matter. "Girlfriends are like plants and guys are like cut flowers. They're pretty and smell nice...but they don't last," which is a moot point with these girls. They weren't friends for all that long to start with and let's face it, Naomi is a bitch.

As part of the hazing, Naomi must also ask Ozzie for help getting reservations for the girls at his family's restaurant. He says ok but when they show up, he plays hard to get. Finally giving in, he tells Naomi she owes him big time. We're not sure why she cares so much about impressing these girls anyway - the mathletes seemed like more fun.

Kelly goes to see Brenda (yay Brenda is back!) in her play but Brenda seems distant and hasn't been answering any of Kelly's phone calls. They make plans for lunch the next day anyway. Lunch doesn't go very far because Brenda basically breaks off their friendship. She says the two have grown apart and she's tired of fighting over guys. Kelly should've given her the same plant speech she gave to Annie and Naomi but instead tells Brenda to go live her life and Brenda obliges by picking up and leaving.

After Grandma Wilson convinces Debbie to be there to support Harry, she joins him, Tracy and Sean out for dinner. Tracy monopolizes the conversation and has been housing Sean during his stay but Debbie decides to ask Sean if he wants to stay at the Wilson home for a while. He jumped at the chance, most likely because Tracy seems like a bit of a nutcase.

While hanging out with Silver, Annie wonders aloud if she has changed for the worse - which she has. Silver is the voice of wisdom and tells Annie that no one is stopping her from getting back to the person she wants to be. Apparently she wants to be a school mascot.

The lacrosse championships are here and everyone makes it to the game. Silver and Adrianna make a rare appearance but we're not sure Adrianna made it for the whole game. The smell of a hot dog makes her throw up - is it possible she's preggers? Harry brings Sean to watch the game so they can spend more time together. Dixon has been getting progressively more jealous of Harry's new father/son relationship and feels like an outsider in his own family. He lets it affect his game and after getting pulled out he lashes out at Harry, telling him to screw himself.

Ozzie comes to collect on the favor Naomi owes him. He says he wants a kiss - and they share a nice one - but he says he wants Naomi to kiss Walter the Wildcat - who happens to be Annie. It doesn't go over very well for either of the girls but the Blendids are impressed by Naomi's willingness to do what it takes to be in their clique.

Kelly had to leave the game early after receiving a phone call saying Brenda had an accident and was in the hospital. What she didn't bargain for was Brenda telling her that she had slept with Ryan. This upsets Kelly to the point where she leaves in tears. Seriously though - she can't call dibs on every guy she dates and dumps. Also, Ryan really gets around!

Harry finds Dixon in the locker room and tries to reprimand him. Dixon is the one who ends up teaching Harry a lesson, though. While Harry has been doing what he can to make Sean feel comfortable, he hasn't done anything to make Dixon feel loved or wanted. Harry vows to try harder and make things work for everyone. They both go back to the game and the Wildcats win! Everyone is happy - Dixon even tells Sean to stay and celebrate. There's just one problem, the episode ends with Sean making a phone call that leads us to believe his intentions aren't all that great with the Wilson family. Is he just using them? Who was on the other end of the call? Do you have any predictions? Let us know in the comments!

The latest episode of Privileged has Will and Megan trying to figure out where their relationship lies. And, for a girl who seems to have her stuff together, we can’t figure out why she reacted the way she did when Will shares that he is, and has been, seeing other women since him and Lily broke up.

Is it us, or did she seem jealous? So not Megan. And, what was with her trying to break it off before the relationship even got started. “Not cut from the same cloth” -- please. They are totally from the same cloth – opposite ends maybe – but, definitely the same cloth. Point being, they totally complement each other.

Will seemed to think so too. So much, he is willing to change his playboy lifestyle and be exclusive with her. Can he do it? Who knows? What we are more worried about is how this new relationship will last the six-month separation as Will heads to Brazil for his new job.

We understand these girls are rich and can pretty much buy whatever they want, but the test? Who else would have a copy? She obviously didn’t bribe the teacher and the whole situation feels a little stretched. Don’t get us wrong, we are sad to say that we’ve cheated once or twice in our high school career, but mostly off that hot, smart guy sitting next to us.

Either way though, we are totally bummed at Rose this week: Failing finals, cheating. What’s up, girl? Of course, it doesn’t help that Sage got involved and totally helped her cheat by commissioning a custom purse with the answers sown onto it. But why provide a solution to cheating and then try to convince her she doesn’t have to do it? She even goes as far as to turn to Megan for help.

Doesn’t matter though, Megan was totally too late in figuring out what was happening and the episode ends with the what looks like Rose going forward with the cheating purse plan.

Next week, we are totally looking forward to seeing what happens to Laurel when she reconnects with the girls’ real grandfather. Yep, that’s right. Some former boss man of hers, whose name is Miles, will enter the picture. And, how do we know this? Seems like Laurel, totally out of nowhere, has a complete change of heart and gives Megan the green light to do more research and find out where and what he is up to. No sooner does she find out that she is jetting off to see him. We totally wonder: What he’s like? Will they get back together? Stay together?

And, speaking of relationships, what does everyone think of Charlie asking his girlfriend to move in with him?

Lucas falls asleep after a quick check-in conversation with Peyton, and since he's watching Casablanca, he drifts off to a '40's-style version of Karen's Cafe, complete with Nathan the bartender, Haley the singer, Mouth the gossip columnist, Skills the piano player, Peyton the tragic heroine, and Brooke the damsel in distress. And then there's Dan, who's the embodiment of evil, complete with a mustache!

We find out that Haley used to work for Dan's bar down the street, but she's much happier working at Karen's (which Lucas now owns). In the dressing room, Dan threatens Haley and tells her to come back and work for him... and then he kisses her while she's yelling at him! She slaps him. Of course, he enjoys it.

Meanwhile, Nathan's lusting after Haley, but he thinks a big deal singer like her wouldn't want anything to do with him. After she performs the fun ditty "Karen's Cafe," she and Nathan flirt at the bar and he works up the nerve to ask her to "step out" with him tonight. Just as things are heating up between them, Lucas interrupts with a letter -- Nathan's being called to serve in the war, and he only has 24 hours left in Tree Hill City! Determined to make the most of his final hours in town, Nathan takes Haley onto the dance floor.

Outside the bar, Brooke runs into Dan and his posse again, and this time Dan's not budging. He gives her until the next evening to get him his money -- or else.

Mouth the gossip columnist is a total drunk, and a hilarious one at that! He stumbles out of the bar, bragging to Lucas about how he's going to be big one day... and collapses onto a garbage heap.

Dan takes Peyton home, and we find out that he used to date her mom, and after her mom passed away, he promised he'd always watch over Peyton. He calls her out on the flirting with Lucas, and she denies it, which means (you guessed it) he threatens her and grabs her arm. She'd better not go near Lucas Scott! Peyton agrees and goes home...

...but later, she sneaks out and visits Lucas at Karen's Cafe, asking him to walk her home. Lucas is skeptical; he's attracted to her, but she associates with Dan Scott! She explains their relationship, and Lucas opens up a bit. Still, Peyton just wants to be free, to be loved. When they arrive at Peyton's place, they kiss. Brooke observes the whole thing from nearby.

The next morning, Nathan and Haley have been up all night talking on a park bench over a box of Cracker Jack. Haley has a crazy idea. They get married! The couple gets all smoochy, talking about their future and a possible kid (he'd be named Jamie, of course).

Brooke goes to Dan, who's evilly slurping spaghetti, and tells him she has some information for him. She'll tell him if he forgives her debt. Dan's not so into it, but finally he relents and Brooke spills that she saw Peyton kissing Lucas Scott. Dan's furious and calls her a liar, but we can tell he knows it's true. Finally, he tells Brooke that her debt's not quite repaid yet. She has to do one more thing for him...

While Peyton visits Lucas again at the bar and Nathan and Haley spend more quality time together, Dan goes around town threatening others. He sends Julian to smash Skills's hand so he can't play piano at Karen's anymore. He beats up poor Cop Owen for breaking up the fight at Karen's. Finally, he captures Mouth, the gossip columnist who knows too much. Mouth knows that Dan killed Keith, and Dan won't have that... so Mouth gets the cement shoe treatment! As he dangles the guy from over a bridge, Dan urges him to beg for his life, but Mouth refuses and gets bold -- he spits in Dan's face! That's the last straw. Dan drops Mouth in the lake, and that's the last we see of Mouth this week, except for his hat floating on the surface.

Nathan is heading off to war, but he promises Haley he'll be back. They have a future together... always and forever. The newlyweds share a passionate kiss before Nathan boards the plane.

When Lucas finds out that Skills has been hurt and Mouth's swimming with the fishes, he wastes no time loading his gun and heading out to face Dan. He and Peyton are surrounded instantly. Lucas shoots Julian, but then Dan emerges from another car... with Brooke! Dan shocks them all by handing the gun to Brooke and telling her to finish Lucas off. So THAT'S how she's supposed to repay her debt! But Brooke turns on Dan instead -- only to find that the gun's empty. Dan produces another gun -- he came prepared! -- and he's about to do the deed when Skills shows up and lunges at him. Peyton is shot in the crossfire, and she dies in Lucas's arms. "You're free now, Peyton," he tells her....

...and then his cell phone rings. Confused, Lucas reaches for it, and now he's awake in the present. It's Peyton. They banter for a moment and he tells her never to leave him. She agrees, hangs up -- and collapses on the floor in a sudden burst of pain!

This episode had us raving (Chuck and Nate reunited! Lily and Rufus reunited!) and ranting (Serena and Aaron ANYTHING, Vanessa's devious ways). Everyone's dealing with their own holiday-induced angst: Nate's dad is back in town and wants to abruptly move the family to the Caribbean, which seems awfully suspicious.

Jenny's been crashing at the van der Woodsen/Bass residence, but Lily's found out and wants her to go back to Casa Humphrey. Jenny's vague about her actual plans, but after she wanders off, Lily finds out exactly what they are when she comes across emancipation papers in Jenny's bag.

Bart mentions to Eric that he's spotted Eric's boyfriend getting awfully close with the swim captain. But how does he know this juicy scoop? After a little investigating with Chuck's help, Eric discovers that Bart's been keeping fat files on the entire van der Woodsen family!

Meanwhile, Dorota lets slip that Eleanor and Cyrus are getting engaged, and Blair is not happy. Bad enough that the uncouth midget eats her pie, but now he's stealing her mother for good! Feeling unappreciated, Blair decides to run away, with Dorota in tow.

Dan and Rufus are grocery shopping when they run into Aaron. Depending on how you read the scene, you either think Dan was a stand-up guy or a little TOO honest, but regardless, Aaron isn't happy when Dan alludes to Serena's colorful past. He goes straight to Serena, who's wearing a truly hideous ketchup-and-mustard colored satin getup, and confronts her about it. Serena claims that Dan wasn't really telling the truth.

Vanessa runs into an FBI agent who's looking for Nate -- well, really, for his dad, who, as usual, is up to no good. She calls Chuck (reluctantly) and begs for his help. Together, they sit down with Nate and tell him what's up. Apparently Mr. Archibald is pressuring his in-laws for a huge sum of money so he can run off and start over.

Lily calls Rufus and tells him he'd better come over right now. He and Dan arrive at the van der Woodsens, and Lily tells Rufus about the emancipation papers. Rufus tells Jenny that he'll love her no matter what, and if sending her away is what it'll take to get her to come back, he'll do it. Left with no real argument for emancipation, Jenny still refuses to give in and stalks off.

Meanwhile, Aaron confronts Dan and accuses him of being a liar. At first, Dan wants to defend his honor, but when he sees what Serena's trying to do, he goes along with it. Aaron leaves them alone for a minute, and Dan tries to get Serena to see that she should just be honest.

Nate confronts his father, who lamely tries to deny his sneaky plot. Finally, he sputters that it was supposed to help all of them. Nate tells him that he can either try to run away and lose his son's respect forever, or turn himself in to the FBI officers who are on the way. His call. Mr. Archibald does the right thing for once and turns himself in. He's taken away while Nate and his mom sob in each other's arms.

Eric alerts Lily to the files he's found, and she's livid. She tells Bart that they're leaving -- how could he keep tabs on the children like this? She herds up Eric and Serena for a diner Thanksgiving.

At the diner, Eric reveals that he read Lily's file and saw that she was institutionalized, just like him, at age nineteen. He wishes she'd told him, but she tells him it's hard to talk about. They push fries idly around on their plates until Lily has a brainstorm -- they can go to the Humphreys'.

Blair and Dorota are stomping their way through the Upper East Side when they run into a shivering Jenny. She truly has nowhere to go. Blair and Jenny exchange sob stories about their families, when suddenly Eleanor shows up and demands for Blair to come home so she can share a big surprise. Blair's still mad about the engagement, but all is (just about) forgiven when she discovers the real surprise: her dad has flown in from France to see her and to give his approval of Cyrus for Eleanor! Now that he approves, the engagement is made official, and even Blair seems kind of happy about it.

After the FBI fiasco, Nate shares a private moment with Vanessa. They reveal that the feelings from before are still kind of there, and they agree to hang out soon. Then Vanessa takes off, looking thrilled, and Nate and Chuck are reunited at last! Rather than hug, Chuck suggests they go drink in the limo. It's a classic BFF moment for these two. They've spent way too much time apart!

Dan and Rufus return home to find Jenny sans eye makeup and looking five years younger. The Humphrey family is back together again! Just then, Lily and Eric show up, along with Vanessa, who makes up with Jenny, no doubt feeling charitable since she thinks she has Nate's heart in her back pocket. The group gets cooking, and all seems to be well...

...until Vanessa discovers the letter Nate sent to Jenny. Jenny never received it, of course, since she hasn't been living at home this whole time. Vanessa manages to sneak away with the letter, and she reads it! She's not happy when she sees that it's all about how Nate still wants to be with Jenny. Undeterred, she slips the letter into her purse. Again... that's not going to end well.

What did you think of the episode? Which parental figure is the most appalling? Which girl should Nate go for? Why is Serena's wardrobe getting progressively worse? And how adorable was it when Blair finally got all she really wanted for Thanksgiving? Tell us all in the comments!

• 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!

• 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…”

• 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. ]]> tag:blogs.trb.com,2008:/network/cwsource//23.143896 2008-11-16T18:52:55Z 2008-11-16T19:42:55Z

  Sarah 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!
