In other news, remember Jared Padalecki's Christmas movie? Lionsgate has quietly removed it from its big-screen offerings and changed it to a direct-to-video title. Ouch.

We figured something was wrong with the picture when it wasn't actually released last Christmas. We can't imagine there was any problem with the acting -- Jared starred alongside movie luminaries Peter O'Toole and Marcia Gay Harden -- so we're guessing something went terribly awry with the story, which is inspired by the life of Thomas Kinkade (the "Painter of Light") or the production, which Kinkade was heavily involved in. And while we weren't exactly salivating for the Thomas Kinkade Story, we are bummed for Jared -- this sounded like his chance for mainstream movie success. Maybe next time, Jared!

Jason Voorhees can run. That was one of the big revelations from the final day of the San Diego Comic-Con, as Supernatural star Jared Padalecki appeared alongside cast members and producers from the new Friday the 13th reboot. A teaser trailer was unveiled during the panel, which highlighted the producers' attempts to ground the horror flick in reality. Gone is the slow, zombie-like killer from the older films, and in his place is a hulking maniac who isn't afraid to sprint after a frightened teenager. It's a big change for the series, but the Comic-Con audience responded enthusiastically to the footage.

After the trailer was shown, an audience member asked the question that many Supernatural fans are probably wondering: Will Jared Padalecki's character survive his face-off with Jason?

If the sole reason you’re planning on attending this summer’s San Diego Comic Con is to get up close and personal [no, not that up close and personal] with SUPERNATURAL stars Jared Padaleck and Jensen Ackles. Get ready to take note of some very important news.

Though the SUPERNATURAL panel is still scheduled for Sunday July 27 from 11:15AM?12:15PM in Room 6CDEF, the autograph session that Jared and Jensen will be doing is actually on Saturday July 26 from 5:00?6:00PM in the Warner Bros. Booth (#4329) on the main convention floor.

So spread the word, because this TV Addict would hate to discover what happens to thousands of angry SUPERNATURAL fans when they discover that they missed an opportunity to once again look, but not touch, their two favorite Winchester Bros!

SUPERNATURAL star Jared Padalecki is feeling a little snug in the pants. His bags were misplaced en route to Australia and he arrived without even his undies.

As a result his first stop when he arrived in Sydney was to pick up some new underpants, but for a guy who spends most of his time battling the paranormal on the Network Ten hit show Supernatural as Sam Winchester, buying grundies proved quite a challenge.

"I had to go buy clean underwear with the crazy Australian sizes that I didn't understand," he said in Sydney today.

"Sixteen? 18? I have no idea what size I am - we do small, medium and large.

"They're far too small - they're like a thong. It's embarrassing.''

But the hoards of teenage girls who queued up to see Padalecki at the Supanova Pop Culture Expo in Sydney today didn't mind.

Hundreds of fans of the show waited in line for hours to see Padalecki and grab an autograph or a photo.

Padalecki, who made a name for himself playing teen heartthrob Dean on the hit show the Gilmore Girls, says meeting his fans is one of the biggest perks of the job.

"It's exciting to do stuff like this - people are coming to see you and take pictures, and give you compliments and take photos with you and want your autograph - you definitely feel cool after doing it," Padalecki joked.

"We put in so many hours on this show that it's nice to meet people face-to-face as opposed to seeing ratings - a meaningless number on an internet site somewhere."

Padalecki filmed Disney movie A Ring of Endless Light in Australia in 2002 and then a remake of House of Wax with Paris Hilton in 2005.

He is one of many stars who have turned up in Sydney to greet fans at the Supanova Expo, including Jewel Staite from Firefly and Stargate: Atlantis, Kandyse McClure from Battlestar Galactica, and the stars of Gladiators and Heroes.

The Expo, which runs all weekend at Sydney Olympic Park, celebrates all things imaginary from Star Wars to Superman, Halo to Harry Potter and Transformers to Tomb Raider.
