Hayden Panettiere is opening up about her life in her new book, This Is Me: A Reckoning, including her famous exes.

Panettiere dated her Heroes costar Milo Ventimiglia back when she was 18 and he was 30.

"At 18, I lived so much life that he almost couldn't count me as being 18," she tells EW.

Hayden Panettiere is looking back at her past relationship with former Heroes costar Milo Ventimiglia with a new life experience.

“That's hard. My daughter's 11, so I'm trying to think of how I would feel,” Panettiere, now 36, tells Entertainment Weekly in an exclusive interview about her upcoming book, This Is Me: A Reckoning, when asked about her nearly 12-year age gap with Ventimiglia.

“I'm sure she's going to do exactly what Mommy did,” the actress continues. “I'm ready and prepared for it, but I think it's about the person. I was working with him all the time. My family knew him well. I was also ... At 18, I lived so much life that he almost couldn't count me as being 18. So Milo and I, even though he was 30, had a lot more in common than people might think.”

Panettiere and Ventimiglia, now 48, met on the set of NBC’s Heroes, playing cheerleader Claire and hospice nurse Peter, respectively, in 2006. The pair dated for nearly two years, starting their romance when she was just 18 and he was 30. They called it quits in 2009.

“But if it was somebody that was inappropriate, if it came off inappropriate or was somebody that my parents were like, ‘No, this is just a creepy situation,’ then they never would've allowed it to happen,” Panettiere adds.

The Nashville alum writes about Ventimiglia in her new book, out May 19.

“Every relationship I’ve ever been in, I invested my whole self in,” she told Us Weekly when asked about Ventimiglia earlier this month. “I saw him as my partner and that it was going to hopefully keep going and evolving and lead to marriage.”

She noted that the relationship was formative for her.

“But it was a point of contention that I was unable to put the ‘I’ in front of ‘love you’ and at the time, I didn’t realize or understand why it made me feel so uncomfortable. I could only say ‘love you’ in a casual way,” she said. “Being older, he was much more aware of what that meant. And that said a lot.”

While Panettiere writes positive things about the Gilmore Girls alum, their initial breakup was a low point for her. (In the book, she reveals that Ventimiglia ended things but took her back a week later because she was so emotional about the split.)

“One hundred percent it was only because I was over the toilet, hysterically crying,” she said of their brief reconciliation. “It was like my world had crumbled. It was so out of left field, nothing that big or explosive had happened. Nothing had really gone wrong. Nobody cheated. I remember the look on his face being pure shock at how visceral and massive my negative reaction was, and he immediately took it back.”

Not long after their second breakup, Panettiere met Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko, with whom she shares daughter Kaya. The two ended their on-again, off-again relationship in 2018, something else Panettiere explores in the book.

“I've been in this industry for my entire life and there've been a lot of stories and preconceived ideas of who I am since I was about — that really started at 16 years old,” she told EW. “I get to tell people the truth. I get to tell them what really happened, and what really happened is generally more entertaining than anything that anyone could come up with.”

The Chargers mocked Mike Vrabel's and Dianna Russini's ongoing photo scandal in their schedule release video

The video included nods to leaked photos and media coverage of Vrabel and Russini's interactions

Other teams, like the Minnesota Vikings, also poked fun at the Patriots in their schedule release videos

The Chargers couldn't help but make a dig at Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and his ongoing scandal with NFL reporter Dianna Russini in their 2026 schedule release video.

The Los Angeles team is known for subtly mocking their opponents in their viral videos, and they didn't hold back in their Halo-themed 2026 edition, released Thursday, May 14, which is filled with inside jokes about each of their 17 matchups next season.

As the video approaches the Week 12 matchup against the Patriots, Spartan soldiers race along a Mario Kart-inspired track before passing a billboard that reads: “Next Photo Dump 1 Mile” — a reference to the news-breaking photos of Vrabel, 50, and Russini, 43, that have popped up multiple times over the last month, from the initial pictures of them at an Arizona resort, to secretive snaps of the two at an N.Y.C. bar in 2020, to the video that showed them picking up a boat rental in 2021.

Moments later, a notification pops up at the bottom of the screen reading: “NY Post sent you a message,” referencing the New York Post's Page Six, which first published the photos of Vrabel and Russini in Arizona on April 7.

The snarky digs come after Vrabel, 50, addressed the controversy during a press conference on Tuesday, April 21, where he did not mention the photos of him and Russini, who are both married to other people, but said that he would be attending "counseling."

During the press conference, Vrabel assured fans they would get “the best version of me going forward.”

"As I said the other day, I promised my family, this organization and this team that I was going to give them the best version of me that I can possibly give them. In order to do so, I have committed to seeking counseling, starting this weekend," Vrabel said Wednesday, April 22, according to ESPN. "This is something that I have given a lot of thought to and is something I would advise a player to do if I was counseling them.”

Following the release of the photos, Vrabel denied the allegations, telling the New York Post on Tuesday, April 7: “These photos show a completely innocent interaction and any suggestion otherwise is laughable."

"This doesn't deserve any further response," her statement continued.

A week later, on Tuesday, April 14, Russini announced she would resign from The Athletic.

A few weeks after announcing her resignation, new video surfaced showing Russini and Vrabel together on a Tennessee lake in 2021.

In footage published by TMZ on May 7, Russini and Vrabel are seen walking on a dock on a June afternoon in Putnam County.

Two months after the video was recorded, Russini gave birth to her first child with husband Kevin Goldschmidt. The couple later welcomed a second son, Joseph “Joey” Kevin, in October 2022.

The Chargers weren't the only team to mock the Patriots in their schedule release.

The Minnesota Vikings' video featured their kicker Will Reichard at an upscale restaurant where he ordered dishes that poked fun at each of their upcoming opponents, from Buffalo Bills buffalo wings to a cheese-filled plate for the Green Bay Packers.

For the Patriots, they were categorized as a plate of "TikTok Cookies" — a nod to Ann Michael Maye, the wife of Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, who went viral last year for her TikTok baking videos.

A key ingredient in the Vikings' version? One teaspoon of Russini juice.

Ellie Goulding received an MBE at an investiture ceremony led by Prince William at Windsor Castle

The singer is a UN Environment Program Goodwill Ambassador and was honored in King Charles' New Year Honours List 2026

Prince William had a royal reunion with Ellie Goulding in a very special ceremony at Windsor Castle.

The Prince of Wales, 44, presented the "Love Me Like You Do" singer, 39, with her medal, awarding her to the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE), Civil Division, for her services to biodiversity and the climate on May 13.

Goulding performed at Prince William's royal wedding reception to Kate Middleton in April 2011, singing with a live band for the couple's first dance to Elton John’s “Your Song."

"William and Kate were in the middle, giving it their all,” a guest told PEOPLE in 2011 about the bash at the Throne Room of Buckingham Palace. “They really went for it. They were in the full party spirit and stayed until the last minute.”

The pop star — who is friends with William's cousins Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie — was made an MBE in King Charles' New Year Honours List 2026 for her environmental activism.

The "Burn" singer was recognized for her efforts as a UN Environment Program Goodwill Ambassador and World Wildlife Fund Ambassador, and the Prince of Wales was just the person to present her honor. Prince William is a passionate advocate for the environment and founded the Earthshot Prize in 2020 as a global environmental contest aiming to galvanize positive change through the next decade.

In 2022, Goulding performed at the second annual Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony, held that year in Boston, and had a warm chat with the Prince and Princess of Wales backstage.

Andie MacDowell embraced her grays, ditching her signature springy curls for a rarely worn hairstyle.

She went full Euro summer in a pretty pleated dress for her latest appearance.

The actress was spotted at Hotel Martinez during the 79th Cannes Film Festival.

Andie MacDowell has returned to the 79th Cannes Film Festival, which means fans are undoubtedly in for a host of glamorous red carpet looks. In fact, the 68-year-old actress has already turned heads solely with her arrival at Hotel Martinez.

The Ready or Not star was photographed exiting a car and in the foyer, where she noticeably ditched her signature hairstyle—springy curls worn down and loose—for a rarely worn updo. MacDowell embraced her grays in an effortless low bun.

As for the rest of her beauty look, the mom-of-three looked radiant with rosy glam, complete with dewy, sun-kissed skin, flushed cheeks, and glossy strawberry pink lips.

She fully leaned into Euro summer dressing with a pale blue button-up dress that featured long sleeves, a crisp collar, a cinched waist, and a flowy, pleated midiskirt. She added silver loafers for a practical, casual touch and accessorized with textured gold hoop earrings, a dainty chain necklace, and oversize black shades.

Hours earlier, MacDowell was seen wearing a blue linen button-up shirt with pretty white floral embroidery, textured rust-colored pants with a wide leg design, and the same loafers. She carried a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a blue weekender bag in the other. She appeared to go makeup-free and wore her tresses in the hydrated coils fans have come to know and love.

Green Bay Packers claim former USC WR Brenden Rice off waivers

As several USC wide receivers get set to enter the NFL, another one is headed to a new team. On Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers claimed former Trojans wideout Brenden Rice off of waivers.

“Rice (6-3, 210) was the 225th overall pick of the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024,” Zach Kruse of Packers Wire wrote. “The Packers will be his fifth team; Rice previously spent time with the Chargers, Raiders, New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, including stints on the practice squad with the Raiders, Patriots and Seahawks. He appeared in three games for the Chargers as a rookie in 2024, playing three snaps on offense and 10 more on special teams.

“Rice gives the Packers another talented pass-catcher to compete for a roster spot at the bottom of the receiver depth chart this summer.”

After starting off his college football career at Colorado, Rice transferred to USC and spent the 2022 and 2023 seasons with the Trojans. In two years in Cardinal and Gold, he caught 84 passes for 1,402 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Of course, Rice’s quarterback at USC, Caleb Williams, plays for the Chicago Bears. It appears as though the two of them will now have an NFC North rivalry on their hands.

Devil Wears Prada 2 and Mortal Kombat 2

20th Century Studios; Warner Bros.

- *The Devil Wears Prada 2 *narrowly defeated *Mortal Kombat 2 *in the weekend's box office brawl.

- The fashion-centric sequel scored $43 million domestically in its second weekend in theaters, while the fantasy fight film drummed up $40 million.

- Next week, both films will have to contend with a new fighter from a dangerous genre, when horror film *Obsession *challenges *Prada*'s box office dominance.

Raiden may be the god of thunder and all the skies. But he's no match for Miranda Priestly.

*Mortal Kombat 2** *fought valiantly, but not even the buzzing enthusiasm of the action sequel's premiere could outdo the enduring fervor for *The Devil Wears Prada 2*, which topped a second weekend at the box office.

But the mid-May battle of the sequels was a close match. The fashion-centric comedy 20 years in the making clinched its victory with $43 million in its second weekend in theaters, per box office tracker Comscore. Simon McQuoid's follow-up to his 2021 adaptation of the gruesome, fantasy fighting games, meanwhile, drummed up $40 million in its premiere.

Globally, *Prada *added an astounding $118.8 million, for a cumulative $433.2 million on a $100 million budget. It's here where the gap between the two significantly widens. *Mortal Kombat *only garnered $63 million globally — a fine start for a film made on an estimated $55 million budget, but not enough to hold onto the No. 2 on the global leaderboard, a spot that went to Michael Jackson biopic *Michael*, which added $95 million in week three for a $577.3 million gross.

*The Devil Wears Prada 2*'s marvelous box office performance is a boon to distributor *20th Century Studios*, which hasn't had a real hit since *Avatar: Fire and Ash *burned down the box office in December. It's also a major win for the ensemble, setting a new record in Streep's illustrious career for highest performing premiere.

Coming in at No. 3 on the domestic leaderboard this weekend is *Michael*, which is still stepping strong with a $36.5 million week 3 take. Despite arriving in theaters on a cloud of controversy, the film directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson, the King of Pop's nephew, has become one of the most successful films of the year, more than making up its enormous estimated budget of $200 million.

The other big premiere of the weekend was much more modestly scaled, but the lighthearted mystery comedy *The Sheep Detectives *may not have been modest enough in its production spend to justify its premiere gross of $15.9 million. Globally, the film added another $12 million, but with an estimated $75 million budget — that doesn't factor in marketing and promotional expenses — Amazon MGM Studios now has a financial mystery that the movie's streaming value will have to solve.

'Mortal Kombat 2' ending explained: Director unpacks those deaths and what's next

Elsewhere on the domestic and global charts, Billie Eilish's new documentary *Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour *debuted to $7.5 million domestically, which earned it the No. 5 spot overall. *The Super Mario Galaxy Movie *continues to clean up with a $6.6 million week 6 take, making for a $412 domestic gross and $941.2 million globally. If Nintendo can keep it up, they'll soon have another billion-dollar success on their hands.

Next week, one film may be in the position to upset *The Devil Wears Prada 2*'s reign at the box office.

Though it lacks in any serious stars, popular YouTuber Curry Barker's *Obsession *has benefitted not only from a widespread promotional campaign, but rave word-of-mouth notices following from his viral, micro-budget 2024 feature *Milk & Serial*.

*Obsession *represents a massive investment in the budding young filmmaker by studios Blumhouse and Focus Features, which handled the production and distribution, respectively. But still, Barker kept *Obsession*'s estimated budget at a startlingly low $1 million, meaning the bar for success should be quite easy to clear.
