"I'm lucky on so many counts - I'm lucky to be alive," Monteith, 29, told Parade. The actor said his spiral downward began when he was 13, living in British Columbia. By age 16, he says, "I was out of control," doing all kinds of drugs. "Anything and everything... as much as possible. I had a serious problem." His friends and family staged an intervention and Monteith did a stint in rehab, but it didn't work. It was only after he was caught stealing money from a family member that Monteith decided he had to make a change. "I was done fighting myself. I finally said, 'I'm gonna start looking at my life and figure out why I'm doing this'." He added, "I don't want kids to think it's okay to drop out of school and get high, and they'll be famous actors, too... but for those people who might give up: Get real about what you want and go after it."

Rowling has written extensive new material about the characters, places and objects in the much-loved stories, which will inform, inspire and entertain readers as they journey through the storylines of the books. Pottermore will later incorporate an online shop where people can purchase exclusively the long-awaited Harry Potter eBooks, in partnership with her publishers worldwide, and is ultimately intended to become an online reading experience, extending the relevance of Harry Potter to new generations of readers, while still appealing to existing fans. As the Pottermore Shop develops, it is intended that it should include further products designed specifically for Harry Potter fans, offering a potential outlet for Sony products and services related to Pottermore. In keeping with Harry Potter's international appeal, the site will launch in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish, with more languages to follow. In the new website, which launches in Beta on 31st July, the story lines will be brought to life with sumptuous newly-commissioned illustrations and interactive 'Moments' through which you can navigate, starting with the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. On entering, you choose a magic username and begin your experience. As you move through the chapters, you can read and share exclusive writing from J.K. Rowling, and, just as Harry joins Hogwarts, so can you. You visit Diagon Alley, get sorted into a house, and cast spells and mix potions to help your house compete for the House Cup. At a press conference at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, Rowling revealed some key features of the website. In an announcement which will thrill fans, she described how she has brought to life both the Sorting Hat and Ollivanders experiences from her books for the first time on Pottermore, by revealing the questions asked by the Sorting Hat - which places newcomers into their Hogwarts houses according to their characteristics - and the magic behind the Wand Chooser - which finds the right wand for each user from over 33,000 possible combinations. She also revealed glimpses of the new information she has provided on some of the best-loved characters. J.K. Rowling's announcement on YouTube and sony.com today revealed that Pottermore (along with the Pottermore Shop) will be open to all users in October 2011. From today, 23rd June, fans can submit their email addresses on Pottermore.com in order to be contacted by the site following the opening of registration on 31st July, Harry's birthday. Also on that date, an online challenge will be launched, whereby the first million people to complete their registration will gain early entry into the website, and help put final touches to the experience. J.K. Rowling commented, "I wanted to give something back to the fans that have followed Harry so devotedly over the years, and to bring the stories to a new digital generation. I hope fans and those new to Harry will have as much fun helping to shape Pottermore as I have. To add to my input into the website, everyone will be able to join in by submitting their own comments, drawings and other content in a safe and friendly environment - Pottermore has been designed as a place to share the stories with your friends as you journey through the site." Pottermore has been made possible with the support and partnership of Sony. Sir Howard Stringer, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Sony Corporation, commented: "Sony's association with J.K. Rowling's Pottermore brings together one of the world's most innovative brands with the most successful book series in history, in a pioneering partnership that will help shape the future of story-telling. We are proud to be a part of it, both at this momentous announcement, and as we collaborate on its development over the coming years." On Sony's partnership of Pottermore, J.K. Rowling commented: "As I think people know, I am very protective of Harry and have always been very selective with any new initiatives, but I am totally committed to making this partnership with Sony and this wonderful new website a success. There are many companies I could have worked with on this ultimate digital expression of Harry Potter's universe, but it is Sony's unique philosophy of creativity in harmony with technology that made them my first choice. The spirit behind Sony's make.believe philosophy is one that rings true with Pottermore's own values." The detailed creative execution has been led by TH_NK, a leading UK digital agency, under the supervision of J.K. Rowling and the Pottermore management tea m, in co-operation with Sony. J.K. Rowling's publishers, Bloomsbury in the UK and Scholastic in the USA, as well as her international publishers worldwide, have been active supporters in the creation of Pottermore.com and the Pottermore Shop. Warner Bros, the makers of the hugely successful Harry Potter film franchise , is also one of the partners who have worked to support the launch of Pottermore through a variety of marketing, promotional and other efforts and will continue to collaborate as the project grows .

Cars 2 Goes Under the Hood at Pixar Posted: 23 Jun 2011 10:10 AM PDT When I first learned I was going back to Pixar a few months ago, a smile immediately crossed my face. I had been there just once before, a few years back, but the facility and people at this Emeryville, California animation studio are so amazing, I was hoping for the chance to come back... practically right after the first visit. In late March, I ventured up to the Northern California studio to learn more about their animated sequel Cars 2, which races into theaters nationwide on June 24. After a nice reception for the massive press corps assembled for this event, we were in for a little treat. Anyone who is familiar with Pixar knows the studio is just as well-known for their animated shorts as they are their animated features. Before every Pixar movie, the studio debuts a new short film, and Cars 2 is no different. While most of the Pixar shorts show off brand new characters and the talents of new directors within Pixar's ranks, the short that will play in front of Cars 2 will feature some familiar faces. Toy Story: Hawaiian Vacation brings Woody and the gang back together for a brief new adventure, and after watching the full short film, I have to say it was great to see them again. Back in November, we reported that Toy Story 3 will be the last feature film in this franchise, although the franchise would live on through new shorts. Toy Story: Hawaiian Vacation centers on Ken (Michael Keaton) and Barbie (Jodi Benson) who think they're going on vacation to Hawaii, after they sneak in Bonnie's backpack. Little do they know that Bonnie didn't take her backpack on vacation, and Ken is heartbroken to learn that he's really just in Bonnie's room... or is he? Woody (Tom Hanks) Buzz (Tim Allen) and the rest of the gang decide to make a Hawaiian vacation for Ken and Barbie right in Bonnie's room. They serve the couple dinner in the most romantic setting they could scrounge up, and the whole gang does their best to recreate the tropical island setting in the bedroom. It's a charming little story about the power of friendship, and that a little imagination can go a long way. I can't imagine that anyone who is a fan of the Toy Story franchise will be disappointed by Toy Story: Hawaiian Vacation when it hits theaters this week, and there are more Toy Story shorts on the horizon. We reported in February that there will be another Toy Story short attached to The Muppets, when it hits theaters on November 23. I'll admit that it is a bit sad that we won't see a fourth full-length feature adventure with Woody and Buzz, but it's great that the studio is keeping this franchise alive, one short at a time. We were also treated to 26 minutes of footage from Cars 2, including the very impressive opening sequence, which definitely lets the audience know that we're not in Radiator Springs anymore. The movie opens with British spy vehicle Finn McMissile (Michael Caine) on a top-secret mission. We immediately see all the spy gadgetry this car has at its disposal, as Finn makes his way onto a shady operations base. Finn is there to gather intelligence on a powerful device that poses a threat to all of the cars: a special camera that, when aimed at a car, causes their engine blocks to explode. Despite all of his advanced covert tactics, Finn's cover is blown and a thrilling car chase scene ensues before Finn makes a daring escape. We then see a scene where Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) is invited to the World Grand Prix, an international race which features cars from every racing discipline in the world competing on special hybrid tracks which implements each of these unique styles (Formula 1, rally car, NASCAR, Le Mans, etc.) to determine who is the best overall race car in the world. Naturally, Lightning brings along his new BFF Mater (Larry The Cable Guy), who now serves on Lightning's pit crew. Unfortunately, Mater's bumbling ways end up costing Lighting a race in Tokyo, although it sets up the international intrigue to follow. This footage really opens up the entire world of Cars, showing us that they do fly on planes like humans would, and they even "relieve" themselves like we would, in bathrooms. Finn McMissile and his spy sidekick Holley Shiftwell (Emily Mortimer) have also journeyed to the Tokyo race, where they have followed the special camera, although, unfortunately for them, Mater throws a monkey wrench into their plans. When Mater heads off to relieve himself in a Japanese bathroom (a scene which is quite hilarious, by the way), he inadvertently interrupts the baddies ambushing another spy, Rod "Torque" Redline (Bruce Campbell). The bad cars are trying to get a special device off of Redline, but the spy plants it on the undercarriage of Mater as he leaves the bathroom. Unfortunately, during all of this, Mater is still talking to Lightning McQueen over his headset, and accidentally gives his racing friend some bad advice, which costs him the race and damages their friendship. I have to say, overall, I was incredibly impressed with the footage I saw. They found a wonderful way to transport the viewers from picturesque Radiator Springs (which is shown after the opening spy sequence), to this international world of espionage and intrigue. Oddly enough, the impetus for making Cars 2 a spy movie came from a deleted scene from the original Cars. There was a scene where Lightning and Holly were going on a date at a drive-in movie theater, where they were watching a spy movie with a character called Finn McMissile. I don't think I've ever heard about a sequel springing from a deleted scene before, but that just goes to show you that the folks at Pixar can think outside the box better than any studio on Earth. We were also able to speak with several of the behind-the-scenes players at Pixar who helped shape and mold the expansive world of Cars 2. Production designer Harley Jessup revealed that, once they had the spy motif in play for the sequel, they turned to live-action movies such as The Italian Job, Rendezvous, The Bourne Identity, and The Red Balloon to get a better feel for this covert world. They also took a series of research trips which influenced the animated set pieces. They visited Tokyo, Italy, Paris and London, taking extensive notes on each city to find a way how to animate each distinct place. Director of Photography Sharon Calahan also revealed more details which indicate this animated world isn't much different than our own. For instance, in London, they still have British pubs, although these characters are sucking down pints of motor oil instead of pints of beer. Senior Modeler Andrew Schmidt and Sculptor Jerome Ranft talked about crafting and designing the cars in the sequel, a process which evolved since the original film. Here's what Andrew Schmidt had to say about the differences from the sequel to the original in their work. "In Cars, we started with a generic car, a generic 1960s car, a generic 1950s car, a generic 1940s car. We had controls that would give them different proportions. We wanted every single background car in this movie to be special, so we built them all from scratch. We built, I think, 280 individual cars, just for the background, and about 40 Class-A characters, lead characters, and about 40 reused characters." Andrew Schmidt also talked about more specific designs when it came to vehicular changes in Cars 2, including an overhaul of the Lightning McQueen character. "We look at all the different types of racing, because the theme of the movie is he's going up against all the different classes in racing, not just NASCAR. In the first movie, he was designed to look real in a NASCAR world. We added side skirts, a more modernized spoiler, air dams, and an entire underside." Jerome Ranft revealed that Lightning McQueen's nickname from the first movie, "Stickers," is now a thing of the past. "Another new thing is McQueen has working headlights. He just had stickers before." Andrew Schmidt also discussed the intricate details that go into distinguishing a male car from a female car in this universe. "We learned a lot from doing Sally in the first movie. She has much thicker lips, we typically give the female characters a mascara line in their eyelines. Air dams and front grilles typically read as mustaches, so female characters have the open scoop become their mouth. We tend to give them curvier hiplines, it's called a beltline in a car. They're actually very similar cars, but the male character is typically much more angular, and the female character has more soft lines. They are supposed to be similar so there is tension between them, in a good way." While we got a brief glimpse at how truly enormous this animated world really is we learned even more from Jay Ward, the "franchise guardian" for Cars and Cars 2. He talked about how they expanded the universe for this international race. "We have this field of 11 different race cars in all. We really paid attention to the graphics on the vehicles, along with their profile and shape. They're all so unique and colorful, because they're going by so fast in the movie, you have to tell, at a glance, which car is which. It's the same thing they do in real racing, with very different graphics to tell cars apart." For this World Grand Prix race, each car has this "shield" on the side of the car that displays the racing number and what country each car comes from. They also created their own racing leagues, based off Formula 1, GTS, and many other international racing organizations. Jay Ward also said the colors of each car helps the viewers determine, from just a glance, which country they come from. Jay Ward also talked about Lightning McQueen's new racing rival, a Formula 1-type car named Francesco Bernouli, who is voiced by John Turturro. "Formula 1 is really where it's at, it's a global sport, so we had to have an open wheel Formula 1 racer, Francesco Bernouli. In a lot of ways, Francesco was what Lightning McQueen was in the first movie. He's fast, he's driven, he's all about himself in the third person. He has this bravado and a real personality." That about wraps up my day at the phenomenal Pixar facility in Emeryville, California for Cars 2, which hits theaters nationwide on June 24. It was a wonderful time, as always, and I can't wait until I can visit this magnificent studio again.

Jennifer Lopez on Her 'Idol' Return: 'It Could Go Either Way' Posted: 23 Jun 2011 10:47 AM PDT Superstar Jennifer Lopez chatted with "Extra's" Mario Lopez and revealed she's still undecided about her return for the next season of "American Idol." "Nobody's made me make the decision yet, and it could, you know, kind of go either way." The songstress added, "I'm not saying I didn't love it. I so loved it, but you know, I only signed up for one year, so the second year, we don't know yet." The busy singer just wrapped a promotional tour in Europe for her new album, "Love?" and said, "My mom was with me and the babies and we had a good time. But it's tiring... those trips are tiring." J.Lo and Marc Anthony Launch "Q'Viva!" Lopez is currently in production for her new Latin music talent search show called "Q'Viva!" and admitted she has high expectations for the series. "That's kind of our goal... to make the most amazing Latin show ever seen. You know, it's such a tall order, we should stop saying that!" Judgment Payday for Lopez Although her schedule is tight, Jennifer still makes time for charity work, having recently shot a PSA for the Boys and Girls Club of America with Denzel Washington, Ron Howard and our own Mario Lopez. J.Lo believes the ultimate message for the Boys and Girls Club is that "it's here, it's staying strong, it needs support, and it's doing a lot of important work." Co-chairing on the board with Jennifer is Oscar winner Denzel Washington, who told Mario he would be open to co-starring in a film with the actress, and smiled, saying, "Could be, could be. I'm willing!" Jennifer added, "Maybe one day. Maybe we'll talk to Ron Howard to see what he's got going."
