Supernatural star Jared Padalecki is the third actor in the running to star in the remake of Conan The Barbarian, sources tell JustJared.com. It was reported earlier this week that Kellan Lutz (Twilight) and Jason Momoa (Stargate: Atlantis, Baywatch) are the two others in competition for the role.

Conan is set to start production on March 15 in Bulgaria but as previously reported that Padalecki’s schedule might be causing a little bit of trouble — he plans on tying the knot with fiancee Genevieve Cortese this spring in Sun Valley, Idaho.

Directing Conan is Marcus Nispel, who worked with Jared on the 2009 horror flick Friday the 13th.

The apocalypse may have to wait. CW boss Dawn Ostroff says Supernatural creator Eric Kripke is warming to the idea of a sixth season.

“I think he’s in that state of mind,” she says. “I had lunch with Eric the other day and he’s really excited about the show right now. I think he feels this season has been really satisfying for him. He’s certainly not running out of ideas by any stretch of the imagination.”

Ostroff, who says Kripke has been “hitting it out of the park” creatively this season, also points to Supernatural’s ratings success as proof the show has a lot of life left in it. “The ratings are up,” she says. “We have more young women coming to the show than ever before. There aren’t a lot of shows that you can say are doing better in their fifth year.”

The rumor originator took to their blog to explain:

Well, well. Today was an interesting experiment in the power of social media – or should I say, the insanity.

Yesterday, I posted a short, funny (or so I thought) piece about what would be on TV in the year 2025. I figured instead of looking back as most people do this time of year, I’d look into the future. I used my CRYSTAL BALL to see CSI: Mars, a 5-year old Doctor Who and Jensen and Jared on the Simpsons (NOT!).

Several people chose to take only the line about the boys and republish it on Twitter, sans the whole “Crystal Ball 2025 TV season” part and it went wild from there. Anyone who read the WHOLE article understood the context. Unfortunately, as it made its way around the internet, that context was lost.

It was a joke – Jensen and Jared are not going to be on “The Simpsons.”

I guess going forward, I should refrain from creative posting and stick to delivering nothing but facts – or maybe people just need to not believe everything they read until they have all the facts.

So my apologies to Jensen, Jared, their reps and the people at Warner Brothers who had to spend time unraveling this silly mess. And to the folks at The Simpsons – if you’d like to get me out of this jam by actually hiring the boys to voice an episode – I’d be ever grateful.

AusielloFiles posted a “Supernatural” spoiler:

Got any Supernatural scoopage? We’re dying out here! —Kristen
Ausiello: That’s just the segue I was looking for! An upcoming episode will be set in heaven — after Sam and Dean have been murdered!

Reps for Jared Padalecki confirm to E! Online exclusively that the rumors are true, and he is engaged to marry former Supernatural costar Genevieve Cortese.

Padalecki plays Sam Winchester on the CW’s cult-hit series about a pair of demon-hunting brothers on a destiny run; Cortese appeared on the fourth season of the series as the second embodiment of the comely but eeeevil demon Ruby. (Melrose Place star Katie Cassidy played Ruby’s first iteration.)

The couple, whose characters shared some superhot sex scenes and a dysfunctional but intense relationship during their time together on the show, have been dating very, very stealthily. Padalecki’s reps declined to confirm Internet reports of a late-winter wedding date.

According to sfuniverse.com, “The Simpsons” has a very special “Treehouse of Horrors” planned for this year. It will feature the voices of Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki and the guys from Ghost Hunters. More details still to come.

Reports are saying that Supernatural star, Jared Padalecki, has followed Jensen Ackles lead and may possibly be getting married in a couple of months. Apparently, Jared and his (former) “Supernatural” co-star Genevieve Cortese, star of the new series, FlashForward are engaged. As of yet, neither Jared nor Genevieve’s reps have commented on the story.

If this news is true, congratulations to the happy couple! (View Source)

Hello everyone! I wanted to wish you all a very Happy New Year and all the best for 2010. On behalf of Jared Padalecki Fan I hope you all have a prosperous year.
