Clif Kosterman shared a photo of Jensen Ackles sitting in the teacher’s spot in a classroom with several women surrounding him. We don’t know what he is doing there, but we do that the students are paying attention to every word that he is saying. Then again if he was my teacher, I would do the same thing.
Remember your hottest teacher in school, the one you went home and dreamed about? Well that educator ain’t got nothing on Dean Winchester. How hot would it be if when Supernatural ends in like another 25 years, he decided to go into teaching.

We know that Jon Jonas and Ciara can sing, Cheryl Burke can dance and Jeff Dye can do comedy, but can they spin a basketball like the Harlem Globetrotters? We will find out tonight and every Tuesday this summer at 10p on NBC’s I Can Do That.
Each week Cheryl Burke, Ciara, Jeff Dye, Joe Jonas, Alan Ritchinson and Nicole Scherzinger will have to chose whether or not they can do an act that was just offered to them. If they think they can do it, they have one week to master it and perform it for us. What do they get? There is no prize, but Jeff Dye says getting out his comfort zone is reward enough.
Now back to the choosing, 4 acts demonstrate their talents one at a time. After each act one celebrity locks in that talent for their own and brings one of the other contestants to join them. Sounds easy, but it isn’t. Dye explained at the NBC Summer Press Day, “Sometimes when you commit to an act, you get all upset. You know you got the first act and then something will come out after it and you’re like, I’m already locked in with this act because they’ve gotten such good acts.” Then he added, “Then other times you sleep on something, you wait and you’re like I don’t know if I want to do that. I don’t know if I want to do that. Then you’re just stuck with the third one, and you’re like, oh, now I’ve got a week of doing this. So there’s a lot of thinking going on, which I’m not used to.” Burke chimed in, “Or if there’s an act that we may already know how to do, we wouldn’t run up and get the act because it wouldn’t be fair.” Then she added, “So the whole point of the show is to really try and step out of your comfort zone and see us at our most vulnerable state. I think that’s the beauty of the show, is you get to see us. We’re all amazing at what we do, but can we do something else? To see our personalities shine through in a whole different light is why the show is amazing, honestly.”
Joe Jonas explained why he agreed to do it, “This show is something that I think a lot of us were kind of wondering what the concept would be, how it would work out, and we’re all thrilled we did it.” Adding, “I mean, for us as creative people, it’s amazing to get up and be put in a challenge where you can’t back down. You have to just give it your all for a week. It can be anything from the Blue Man Group to the Jabbawockeezs and the Harlem Globetrotters, of course. If you’re not giving your all, it can really be a funny outcome.” But if you give it your all, there can be consequences as Burke divulged, “I mean, I thought ballroom dancing was hard. I have never been sore like this in my life.”
So what type of approach do you take when you sign up for this show? Scherzinger said, “Balls to the wall.” Then she added, “In our first show, we were all looking at each other, we’re like what are we doing? We didn’t know but we were just going with it and going full throttle. So I was really excited. I’m like let’s do it.”
So find out if they can do it on I Can Do That!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7Y7QchQMqs Jeopardy host Alex Trebeck asked the contestants during Final Jeopardy, “A Christian hymn and Jewish holiday hymn are both titled this, also the name of a 2009 Tony-nominated musical.” Choyon Manjrekar didn’t know the answer, so he guessed the only modern Broadway show he knew. That musical is Kinky Boots. I don’t remember any songs like that when I went to Sunday school. I wish they did, the day would have gone by much faster.
So what was the correct answer? Rock of Ages. Seriously, everyone knows Kinky Boots won the Tony and wasn’t just nominated.
I wish more Jeopardy contestants would have fun with the answers they don’t know like this guy did.
Josh Groban is on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today and he told her why he has the expression that he has on the cover of his latest CD, Stages. The actor looks scared, and that because he was. The record company arranged a photoshoot in Downtown LA late at night. One of the people near where they were shooting started cursing at them, so the singer was reacting to the guy’s vulgarity as the camera snapped away. The result was a cover that his label deemed edgy and masculine.
What Groban didn’t realize is that the host was setting him up. Once you talk about being scared on the daytime talk show, be prepared to be just that. She had a person raise up out of the cube that was in between them, but Josh was looking away and didn’t get the full effect. Even though he didn’t see his attacker, he still jumped up and hit a high note that is normally reserved for a few of his songs.
Talking about singing, not only did he sing a song on the show, he also sang the praises of his girlfriend, Kat Dennings. She is so lucky to have him as her boyfriend. Not only can she get him to sing to her whenever she wants, he also says the nicest things about her. They are just the cutest couple!
UPDATE: Here’s Josh Goban singing one of the songs from his album Stages, What I Did For Love from A Chorus Line on Ellen.
Zac Efron‘s dad decided to go through his other son’s homework and he found out that Dylan wrote a poem about his big brother. Being the good dad that he is, he shared his treasure find with his other son and he in turn shared it with the world wide web. At first A Brotherly Thing starts off kind of harsh, but it ends on such a sweet note. So sweet that you wish you had a brother just like Zac’s.
