Question: I need some Supernatural scoop. —D. Stephens
Ausiello: The show’s 100th episode (slated to air in March or April) will be a big one for Jensen Ackles. To find out why, pick up the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, on sale Friday.

That Jensen and Jared currently are spending some time in Sydney, Australia?

Hollywood Treatment Exclusive caught up with “Supernatural” hotties Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles earlier today in Sydney. Both Jared & Jensen jetted into Sydney early this morning and they made sure not a second was wasted on their only day off in Sydney.

Jared spent the morning jogging around the C.B.D. (George Street to be exact) while Jensen and his girlfriend Danneel Harris enjoyed hunting for a pair of new shades at “Sunglass Hut”.

Jared, Jensen & Danneel were then spotted having lunch at Museum of Contemporary Art Cafe opposite the very romantic Sydney Opera House.

that Comic Book Movie Fansites would rather see Jensen as the team leader (which was recently established) Ronin/Clint Barton in the rumored film adaption of “Avengers“? Actually, Jensen was rumored to be the best choice for Captain American but according to this site “…Ackles is the type of actor who would be better suited for Barton’s attitude.”

Demons, deities, and delirious fans. The CW’s rapidly growing cult fave has them all. So why do its stars and creator want to vanish after one more spooky season?

In the intense universe of fandom surrounding Supernatural — the CW series that follows the chisel-jawed Winchester brothers as they drive around the country snuffing out demons — there are ”Sam girls” and ”Dean girls.” Websites chronicle every scrap of minutiae (including the fellas’ sweet ride, a ’67 Chevy Impala), and bloggers dig around casting directors’ sites looking for snippets of scenes to post online (they’ve even managed to spoil entire scripts). There’s also a unique and very creepy subset of romantic fan fiction dedicated to siblings Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) called ”Wincest” — the less said about it the better. One creative fan actually showed up on set in an orange vest, pretending to be a production assistant. ”They gave her a walkie-talkie!” recalls Ackles. ”She worked the entire day there until somebody finally figured it out. Obviously now they’ve stepped up the protocol.” Meaning, the stars have a bodyguard when they’re working. Says Padalecki, ”I guess the network or the studio said, ‘We [only] have two guys on this show. We’d better protect them.”’

It might be time to beef up the security detail even more, because the Supernatural cult is swelling. Sure, the show may not crack the top 10, or even the top 80 — ”You go to a dinner party and someone asks you what show you work on and you say ‘Supernatural,’ and they’ve never heard of it,” says creator/exec producer Eric Kripke. ”Then they say, ‘What network is it on?’ and you say ‘The CW,’ and they’ve never heard of it” — but lately it’s been making almost otherworldly gains in viewership. Season 4, which has centered on the brothers battling angels as well as their usual demon enemies, is up an impressive 13 percent over last year, with new episodes averaging 3.3 million viewers a week — and that’s against Thursday-night stalwarts Grey’s Anatomy and CSI. All those new Supernatural acolytes, however, may find themselves wishing they’d showed up sooner: The cast and crew’s ”godfather,” executive producer and director Kim Manners (The X-Files), passed away in January; Padalecki, 26, and Ackles, 31, are exhausted; and Kripke has long maintained that he wants the series to last only five seasons — that’s one more, then they’re done. As Kripke told his writers at the beginning of this season, ”Let’s be bold. Let’s delve into the stories headlong. Let’s not tap-dance around them because we’re scared, or because we have to save something for tomorrow. Because we don’t know if there will be a tomorrow.”
