Spoiler Alert! This post contains details from the season finale of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

We finally know who the real Lightning Thief is.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians wrapped its first season on Tuesday with an action-packed episode that ties up all those loose ends after Percy, Annabeth and Grover narrowly escape the Underworld. That includes who really stole the Master Bolt.

Turns out, it was Luke all along. The son of Hermes has been in cahoots with Kronos to possibly destroy Mount Olympus and overthrow the gods. All is revealed when Percy and the team return to Camp Half-Blood, where they expect to find an ally in Luke, still thinking Clarisse stole the bolt. But Luke soon reveals himself, getting entangled in a battle with Percy, who he tries to convince to join his cause.

“That was an intense scene to film,” Charlie Bushnell, who plays Luke,...

As soon as Cory Monteith was pronounced dead on July 13, rumors began to circulate about what he was doing the night before in Vancouver.

The "Glee" star died as a result of a lethal combination of heroin and alcohol. But Monteith's acting coach and friend Andrew McIlroy opened up to People about the actor's last few days in Vancouver. He said that Monteith spent the night before he died with three friends who were "positive influences" in his life.

"They weren't strangers, they weren't bad guys. They were longtime sober friends. Cory knew them maybe 10 years. Essentially, he had spent time with [them] as sober people," McIlroy told People. "They were not using with him [that night]. There was no double life up here."

McIlroy also said that Monteith was "fine" the last time he saw him, a few weeks before his death. "He was happy to be breathing fresh air and putting...

There have been lingering questions about what Cory Monteith was doing and who he was hanging out with in the hours before he was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room on July 13, from a lethal combination of heroin and alcohol. But his acting coach and friend Andrew McIlroy tells People that the three pals who the 31-year-old spent time with on the evening of July 12 - before returning to his hotel room by himself in the early morning hours - were positive influences in the Glee star's life. "They weren't strangers, they weren't bad guys. They were longtime sober friends.

In January of 2009, a Fox publicist approached me at the network's semi-annual Television Critics Association party in Pasadena, Calif. Would I like to meet a promising young Canadian, he asked. "This guy is going to be a big star.''

I'd heard that one before, but kept an open mind as this tall young man extended his hand. "Hi,'' he said. "I'm Cory Monteith.''

Monteith made a very positive first impression, well-mannered and polite -- what American reporters would describe as a typical Canadian.

He confessed that he felt a bit awkward and out of place at the Fox party. "I saw Kiefer Sutherland earlier and I was a little star struck,'' he said. "I saw Jon Voight just a moment ago. I was going to talk to him but didn't have the guts.''

Monteith was about to take his own rocket ride to fame. He...

I recently had the pleasure of putting some questions to Canadian actress Ali Liebert, who I (and my long-time Boomtron followers) know best as “Nikki the bartender” from Harper’s Island. We talk about what her current projects are–hint: she has a lot!–and what it’s like working with people who have household name recognition. Read on to find out what she had to say!

Elena Nola: Since I know you from Harper’s Island, I want to start off with a few questions about that. First, simply, what was your favorite part about that series?

My favorite part was forming a friendship with the kind and lovely Elaine Cassidy (Abby Mills). We still hang out whenever I’m in La. Also working with my old friend Ben Cotton was fabulous. Friendships are always the best part of any show. In terms of the actual filming process, shooting...
