In less than two months, Supernatural star Jared Padalecki is going to be a first-time father! Us Weekly caught up with the 29-year-old actor at Thursday’s Bad Ass Boys of The CW panel, where Padalecki explained how he’s helping wife Genevieve Cortese prepare for their baby boy’s arrival. “I’ve been trying to do everything I can to be the classic father: when she needs ice cream, I go get ice cream. If she needs a foot massage, I do the foot massage. I’ve doing everything I possibly can,” Padalecki said.
“Obviously I’ve been working, so I can’t be there all the time when she needs me, but I make sure she has what she needs when she needs it, and when I get home at night.”
Due “sometime in March,” Cortese plans to have a natural childbirth with a midwife. “I’m taking the epidural shots!” Padalecki joked.
“We’re gonna try to have the baby a little while before we name it,” the actor told Us. “We don’t want to put it out there, like try and turn him into something before we meet the kid. We want to get a feel for who this kid is before we name him.”

2012 is shaping up to be Padalecki’s year: earlier this week, Supernatural won Best Sci/Fi TV Series and Best Drama TV Series at the People’s Choice Awards.

On Thursday, Jan 12th, The CW and Showtime will have their turn at the Huntington Hotel in Pasadena, CA where the network’s big shots (and big stars) will address journalists as part of the 2012 Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour.

This year, The CW is mixing it up and instead of just presenting its individual series, it will have one panel for the new reality show Remodeled, followed by a panel entitled The Bad-Ass Boys of The CW, and finally, they will close their event with a farewell cocktail reception with the cast of One Tree Hill.

The Bad-Ass Boys of The CW panel will reportedly bring together some of the hottest guys from the network’s most popular shows like Joseph Morgan (The Vampire Diaries) Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl), Wilson Bethel (Hart of Dixie), Jared Padalecki (Supernatural), Shane West (Nikita) and Kristoffer Polaha (Ringer). Sounds like an event I’d like to be a part of!

#1. Jared Padalecki
Born: July 19, 1982
Jared, Jared, Jared. What can we say about Jared? As a constant presence in Top 30 for YEARS we’re not really sure what we can say about it that you guys don’t already know about considering you did vote like crazy (and boy do we mean CRAZY) to get him to number one. Seven seasons in on Supernatural and we’ve watched this guy’s acting knock it out of the park – he started off as the goody two shoes brother and now seven years later he’s been to hell and back and a trip to the dark side along the way. We also love that Jared is a lot of fun in RL, especially now that he’s got a Twitter! Jared joining Twitter is a definite 2011 highlight – the things he posts are so damn hilarious! Please don’t ever change Jared!

What’s Next: More Supernatural goodness as the show’s 7th season continues, but more excitingly is the news that Jared’s going to be a daddy in 2012! What a lucky kid they’ll grow up to be!

The actor guests included Supernatural stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, Jennifer Morrison from House (here filming Once Upon A Time), Ginnifer Goodwin (Once Upon A Time, He’s Just Not That Into You), Robert Carlyle (The Full Monty), and Amanda Tapping (X-Files, Sanctuary, Stargate: Atlantis), to name a few.

Following the news that Charisma Carpenter and James Marsters will both guest star in an upcoming episode of Supernatural, Jared Padalecki has spoken about working with ex-Whedonverse actors – specifically Jewel Staite, who plays his childhood sweetheart in an early season 7 episode. Jared says of working with ex-Buffy, Angel and Firefly stars, of which there have been many:

It’s always nice to have somebody from the genre because they get the acting style, it’s a pretty specific acting style in my opinion when you’re doing a genre like this. It can’t be overdramatic. It has to be kind of subtle, it has to be real.

He also talks about working with Jewel Staite, who of course played Kaylee on Joss Whedon’s Firefly, and he has nothing but good things to say:

She’s a tremendous actress and a sweetheart. I met her a few years ago at a sci-fi convention funnily enough and I kind of see her here and there and it was nice to get to work with her.

We can’t wait to see them all come to Supernatural, where past guest stars of the Whedon pedigree include Amy Acker, Amber Benson, Julie Benz and Mercedes McNab!

This year, Chuck star Zachary Levi created a Nerd HQ at Comic-Con. The Nerd Machine took over a restaurant in San Diego’s Gaslamp District and gave fans a place to play games and watch panels featuring gaming, television and movie celebrities. I had the lucky privilege to attend a small panel featuring Zach’s friend Jared Padalecki, who took questions from the audience members for over an hour. Proceeds from the Padalecki panel – as well as the other panels and events at Nerd HQ – went to benefit Operation Smile. The Nerd Machine managed to raise over $40,000 for the charity during Comic-Con.

Having never been to a Supernatural convention before, I wasn’t too familiar with seeing Jared in a small panel setting, but he was charming and funny, regaling the audience with on-set antics, his fishing trip over the summer, the story of how he and Zach became friends, and why Sam Winchester’s hair has gone through so many transformations over the past 6 seasons.

Supernatural made the move to Comic-Con’s big room, Hall H, this year, and had no trouble filling it with excited fans. In fact, the extra space was needed for the shrieks that met Jensen Ackles when he introduce a clip from the third episode of the show’s upcoming seventh season, which he directed. “This is a little slice of life back into Sam’s past,” described Ackles before a clip reel set to Foreigner’s “Long, Long Way From Home.”
This article does contain spoiler for season 7, you can read more under the cut.
