Katherine gives $1 mil to animal cause
Television and film actress Katherine Heigl announced Thursday at a press conference in Los Angeles that she would be pledging $1 million to spay and neuter programs in the city and county of Los Angeles.
The star of Warner Bros.' upcoming film "Life As We Know It" is kicking off a pet initiative, in association with the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, to increase awareness and help curb the pet population crisis.
"What's happening is not only inhumane and morally reprehensible, it's economically irresponsible," Heigl said. "Killing is not a solution."
In addition to the contribution to spay and neuter programs, the JDHF will continue to support Learn to be a Best Friend (a training and education obedience program); transport programs moving animals from local shelters where they would be euthanized to humane societies, rescue organizations and "no kill" shelters; and continue to promote pet adoption.
"I think we have to work a little harder and call ourselves a dog lover country," Cesar Millan of National Geographic Channel's "The Dog Whisperer" said, joining Heigl on the podium at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. "Never work against mother nature."
Each year 500,000 animals are sheltered and euthanized in California, costing the state $250 million. "Most people are unaware of what's happening," Heigl said. "We can start to change the existing paradigm."

Katherine on adopting baby Naleigh
Adoption may seem to be the celebrity lifestyle choice du jour, but Katherine Heigl says she'd been dreaming of bringing home a baby of her home for quite a while.
It was so important to her that she had to make sure husband Josh Kelley felt just as strongly about adoption before they could walk down the aisle.
“Josh and I had been talking about adopting for a year before it actually happened. I had spoken to him about it before we got engaged because I wanted to be sure we were on the same page—not everybody feels the way I do about adoption,” Heigl told InStyle magazine for their October cover story. “I don’t know why it was so important for me to do it before we had biological children, but I felt like I had been waiting for and dreaming about [daughter] Naleigh for a long time.”
Heigl brought home Naleigh from Korea last September, a decision that eventually led to her walking away from her role as Izzie Stevens on “Grey’s Anatomy.” “I started a family and it changed everything for me,” Heigl told Entertainment Weekly of her decision in March. “It changed my desire to work full-time.”
But the 31-year-old actress hasn’t ceased work altogether, and her role in the new movie “Life as We Know It” actually found her job looking very much like her home life.
“My experience as Holly in [her new movie, Life as We Know It] was my experience as Katie in real life. There’s this thing where, as a new mother, you’re just constantly going, ‘Am I doing this right? Am I handling this right? Am I playing with her enough? Should I be talking to her more?’” she explained to InStyle. “You’re just nervous, so you’re almost creating more drama than is necessary.”

Katherine on being a mom in new movie and in real life
Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel play apparent opposites faced with the daunting responsibility of raising a child together in 'Life As We Know It,' and Katherine says, "I was literally experiencing new motherhood on film as I was experiencing it in my own life."
The role hit home for the former "Grey's Anatomy" star, who became a mom to daughter Naleigh just last year.
In their new dramedy, Katherine and Josh star as godparents to a 1-year-old girl whose mom and dad have both died -- forcing the twosome to contend with instant parenthood, and each other!
Josh says the poignant film has its share of laughs.
"The script to me was special in a lot of ways," he says. "I mean, it was very funny."
'Life As We Know It' arrives in theaters Oct. 8.

Highway of Hope
Dozens of small shelter dogs just found safe refuge in Montana through Best Friends’ Pup My Ride Los Angeles program.
The 53 included in this latest group are part of the some 2,500 small dogs and puppies saved from certain deaths from Los Angeles-area shelters since the program began in the fall of 2007.
While Robin Harmon, adoptions specialist for Best Friends L.A. Programs, says, “It’s sad there are so many overcrowded shelters,” she also points out that the program offers hope. A highway of hope.
Onboard the 1,200-mile transport from a Southern California shelter to the Help for Homeless Pets rescue group in Montana were a mama Chihuahua and her 3-week-old nursing puppies. Once in Billings, Montana, the mama and puppies went straight into a foster home together, Harmon says.
Also onboard for the September 6 trek were two former stray dogs found on the streets of L.A. No one adopted a young, small poodle mix, so the shelter scheduled her to be put down. “She is sweet and gentle,” Harmon says. “One eye is underdeveloped.”
Not a problem for Pup My Ride. Help for Homeless Pets was happy to take her in and provide the care she needs. So, she too was pulled from the shelter and added to the bunch headed north.
Another little dog was given a second chance after Harmon and her group discovered the frightened dog just in time.
“A little black-and-tan dog was going to be euthanized the day we were at the shelter because she was supposedly too scared,” Harmon says. “We took her out for a while and she played and played.” Harmon and volunteers asked for an extension of a week so the dog could be included on the trip north. The shelter agreed, and the 1-year-old longhaired Chihuahua mix went to Montana.
The 2,500 rescues are made possible through the Jason Heigl Foundation, which funds the transports in memory of TV and film star Katherine Heigl’s late brother — an animal lover — and the many volunteers who give of their time toward the day of No More Homeless Pets. Every two weeks, a transport heads up Interstate 15, which has been dubbed the “Highway of Hope,” carrying precious cargo to their forever homes.
Typically, 30 dogs every two weeks are pulled from L.A. municipal shelters and driven to the Humane Society of Utah in Salt Lake City. The program has also rescued about 50 small dogs from the Lied Animal Shelter in Las Vegas, where they also found homes through the Humane Society of Utah. And last year, they did several transports to Eugene, Oregon. Now, they’ve added the leg to Montana. “The trips will hopefully be monthly,” Harmon says, “weather permitting.”
The program began as a way to save some of the estimated 60,000 animals who are killed each year at L.A.-area shelters while filling a need in Utah, Montana and Oregon where there’s a demand for small dogs.
Now, these 53 one-time shelter dogs are the latest to have new starts in life, this time in Billings, Montana. “Everyone arrived safely,” Harmon says, “and Montana is thrilled with the dogs.”

Katherine can kick your ass
Don't mess with Katherine Heigl. The former Grey's Anatomy star whoops a lot of ass in her upcoming movie One for the Money…
"She beats me up!" says John Leguizamo, who plays a boxing manager in the flick, an adaptation of the first novel in Jane Evanovich's best-selling Stephanie Plum series about a female bounty hunter (Heigl). "She beats up some other dude. She beats up her love interest. She beats everybody up."
Not that Leguizamo is complaining. "I kind of like it," he laughs. "Does that make me weird?"
