Brittany Snow is remembering Hayden Panettiere as a determined performer and supportive friend following the actress’ death at age 36. The “Pitch Perfect” star shared an emotional tribute to Panettiere, with whom she worked on both the long-running soap opera “Guiding Light” and the “Kingdom Hearts” video game franchise. Snow reflected on playing Panettiere’s sister for three years and revealed that she saw parts of herself in her former co-star, even if she never expressed those feelings directly.

Snow posted her tribute to Instagram Stories on Monday, August 17, praising Panettiere’s talent, personality and resilience. “I was lucky enough to play your sister for 3 years,” Snow wrote. “I related to you so much in so many ways. Ways that I never even told you. Your talent was remarkable & so was your determination to be a bold, bright shining light. And you were.”

She continued, “Always supportive, curious, funny and brave. You will always be remembered undoubtedly for your undeniable strength and spirit.”

Snow and Panettiere worked together as young actresses on “Guiding Light.” Snow portrayed Susan “Daisy” Lemay, while Panettiere played Lizzie Spaulding. Their connection later extended into the “Kingdom Hearts” franchise, although their roles did not directly overlap. Snow voiced Namine, while Panettiere became the original English-language voice of Kairi.

Hayden Panettiere Helped Bring Kairi To Life

Panettiere voiced Kairi in the original “Kingdom Hearts” and returned for “Kingdom Hearts II,” helping establish one of the Disney and Square Enix franchise’s central characters. Kairi is closely connected to protagonist Sora and his friend and rival Riku, making her a significant part of the series’ emotional core. Alyson Stoner later stepped into the role at different points before Panettiere returned. Stoner ultimately voiced Kairi in 2019’s “Kingdom Hearts III.”

Following Panettiere’s death, Stoner recorded a tearful message acknowledging the loss felt by the actress’ loved ones and the gaming community. “Hey, this is very raw. It’s very messy, and please give me some grace. I wanted to acknowledge Hayden’s passing,” she began. “I’ve worked with Hayden, I’ve worked with Hayden’s brother Jansen [who died in 2023 from a heart condition], and from one Kairi to another, I just wanted to acknowledge the tremendous loss, not only for the ‘Kingdom Hearts’ family but of course all of the close loved ones and the millions of lives Hayden reached.

“Sending so much love to Hayden’s family,” she continued, fighting back tears. “I’ll be thinking of Hayden and the legacy that she has left, and sending lots of love to the Kingdom Hearts community too, and how we’re sharing in this loss.”

‘Kingdom Hearts’ Pays Tribute To Its Original Kairi

The official “Kingdom Hearts” social media accounts also honored Panettiere and recognized what her performance brought to the role. “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Hayden Panettiere,” the statement begins. “Through her performance as Kairi, Hayden brought warmth, heart, and an unforgettable voice to the ‘Kingdom Hearts’ series. Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and loved ones.”

The tribute arrived during an emotional moment for the franchise. Fans had just received several major updates about “Kingdom Hearts IV” during Disney’s D23 event, including a new trailer and confirmation that the game is expected to arrive in 2027. The footage revealed that Sora will travel to a world inspired by Pixar’s “Coco.” It also included playable segments featuring Mickey, Donald and Goofy, along with the anticipated return of Riku.

‘Kingdom Hearts’ Reunion Takes On Somber Meaning After Hayden Panettiere’s Death

During the “Deep Dive into Kingdom Hearts” panel, longtime English voice actors Haley Joel Osment and David Gallagher appeared together to discuss their respective roles as Sora and Riku. The actors, who began voicing the characters as teenagers, also delivered their first live performance together as Sora and Riku in the franchise’s 25-year history.

The celebratory moment took on a more somber meaning following the death of Panettiere, whose voice helped shape the earliest chapters of the series.

Hayden Panettiere Also Starred In ‘Until Dawn’

“Kingdom Hearts” was not Panettiere’s only major video game role. The actress portrayed Samantha Giddings in the cinematic survival-horror game “Until Dawn,” appearing alongside a cast that included Rami Malek, Brett Dalton, Jordan Fisher and Peter Stormare.

Released as an interactive horror experience, the game allowed players’ decisions to determine which characters survived the night. Panettiere’s character emerged as one of its most recognizable figures. “Until Dawn” was adapted into a movie in 2025, although Panettiere did not appear in the film. A sequel to the game is scheduled for release in 2027.

Bold and the Beautiful has both Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) absolutely distraught right now because both their marriages are falling apart.

And this week, they turn to each other for comfort and that could change everything. Today we’re talking about how Steffy and Carter might share a night of passion that leads to Steffy getting pregnant.

Bold and the Beautiful: Steffy & Carter Connect

All right, right now Steffy and Carter are both devastated at the state of their marriages and there’s a real vibe happening between them while they’re both tipsy. So Steffy told Carter her marriage is over and then he told Steffy that Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) walked out on him. And Steffy and Carter both feel completely abandoned and betrayed by their spouses. As you know, Steffy just came home from Monaco distraught that Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) followed them all the way there.

She’s feeling strong feelings about this. She’s also upset that Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) knew about it, that he didn’t warn her. And of course, Steffy found out the worst possible way. Eight toes on the beach. So, now she feels like she cannot trust Finn. And Steffy insists she’s terrified of Sheila, but I have some qualms on that. I’m not sure her actions match her words because Steffy keeps confronting Sheila.

Steffy has hit Sheila multiple times. She constantly confronts her. She reams her out. That’s pretty fearless stuff. Not what you usually do with people that you’re scared of. But Steffy insists she needs to protect herself and her children from Sheila. And of course, Steffy’s madly in love with Finn and doesn’t want to lose him. But Steffy can’t see a way through. She doesn’t want this to end their marriage, but she’s always gonna put her kids first.

Steffy Digs in Her Heels on B&B

And she truly believes Sheila is a danger to them. Because of that, she doesn’t feel like she can trust Finn right now. And we knew something big was coming because of what Brad Bell teased for Monaco. He said events in Monte Carlo would change lives forever. Most of us were theorizing this would be Sheila’s big redemption moment where she saves somebody, proves that she’s changed, all that kind of stuff.

But instead of her being able to prove anything to Steffy, everything just went sideways. The life-changing event did involve Sheila, but it was a bad life change. She followed Finn to Monaco, lurked on the beach when her flight was delayed, which shouldn’t have been a huge deal, but it sent Steffy over the edge, and she threw her wedding rings at Finn right there on the beach.

Then she got the first flight back to LA and was boozing the whole way from Europe to the West Coast. And now Steffy doesn’t think she can trust her husband. And Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) agrees that he can’t be trusted. So this week, Finn’s fighting really hard for his marriage. But by the time he gets back to LA, things are set in motion and it may be too late because Steffy might wind up with a huge secret of her own that she has to hide.

Carter’s Troubled Marriage on Bold and Beautiful

As for Carter, his life has been completely upended by Daphne’s heartbreaking premature menopause diagnosis. Her ovaries aren’t working right. So, the chances of her and Carter conceiving a child naturally are extremely low. And this is hitting Daphne so hard. She feels really guilty that she can’t give Carter the family he’s always wanted.

So, Daphne thinks she had to walk away from Carter and ended their marriage. Daphne even said their marriage was a mistake, which hit him really hard. But in the end, she believes she’s doing the best thing for Carter. So, she’s going to head back to Paris and then release him to be with somebody who can give him a family.

All of these are red flags and foreshadowing. And Daphne gave her wedding rings back to Carter, but it’s clearly killing her. So this week, we got Steffy back in LA, and Carter’s surprised to see her stumble drunk into the Forrester Creations office. And of course, he’s drunk, too. So, that means he and Steffy are drunk together.

Carter & Steffy May Cross the Line on B&B

Basically, Carter wants to protect Daphne, and she won’t let him. And Steffy wants Finn to protect her, but she feels like he’s not doing it. He’s not doing a good job. And with booze in the mix and then them being at the office all alone, you know, feels like the writing is on the wall because by the end of the most recent episode, Carter had Steffy in his arms. And we had a cliffhanger moment at the end of Monday’s Bold and the Beautiful episode where they almost kissed. We know that Steffy’s back to her place on Tuesday, but she and Carter might cross lines before she heads home to sober up and crawl into her bathrobe.

Bold and the Beautiful: Finn Won’t Give Up

Meanwhile, Finn is speeding back to LA trying to find Steffy. And remember, Finn told Ridge he needs to get to Steffy before something else happens that tears them even further apart. That’s more foreshadowing. So, we may or may not see this on the next episode with Steffy and Carter doing things, but we may see the cheating truth confirmed in a flashback.

You know, assuming Steffy and Carter are going to sleep together, I bet they realize, “Whoops, that was a mistake.” Because Steffy is Daphne’s best friend. And of course, Steffy really doesn’t want her marriage to Finn to be over. So, we may get Steffy and Carter at their places waking up hung over with little memories, scraps of flashback. We’ll see.

And then Daphne is going to be back by the end of this week to talk things over with Carter. And then she also talks to Ridge. So, I suspect if Carter and Steffy do the deed that they will agree to keep it a secret and never tell anyone. That’s well and good, except I suspect Steffy may turn up pregnant because of all the infertility stuff.

Bold and Beautiful: Pregnancy Secret and Surrogacy Cover-Up

And can you imagine how soapy that would be? Because Daphne’s her bestie and she’s got infertility. And if Steffy turned up pregnant with Carter’s kid when Daphne can’t get pregnant with his kid… messy, messy. And if Steffy does turn up pregnant, then this is another pregnancy where she will need another paternity test that she will have to keep secret.

So if it is Carter’s kid, it’s not like Steffy could hide that from Finn. So here’s what I wonder. Remember Steffy mentioned to Daphne that she froze some eggs? And I wonder if that was more foreshadowing that Steffy is not going to just give an egg, but maybe gives her a baby to raise.

I mean, if she really didn’t want Daphne to know that they cheated, Steffy could tell a big lie. She could offer to give Daphne an egg and to be a pregnancy surrogate. And then Steffy could pretend that the baby she and Carter accidentally made is really a surrogacy effort. And then she hands the kid over to Daphne and Carter.

Bold and the Beautiful: Steffy & Carter Keep Their Secrets Hidden

And then Finn and Daphne would never need to know that they cheated. They wouldn’t find out the awful truth that Steffy and Carter went behind their backs. And of course, Steffy could admit to the cheating and give the baby to Carter and Daphne to raise anyway. But at that point, Steffy and Carter’s marriages would implode. Daphne would never talk to Steffy again. It would be such a mess.

But as we know, the truth eventually comes out on soap. So, Daphne and Finn, I think, are going to find out at some point, assuming again that Steffy and Carter do this. They’d be devastated. And Carter did nothing wrong in his marriage to Daphne. We all know Carter’s been nothing but supportive of her.

Daphne’s the one who’s falling apart inside and thinking she needs to leave to do what’s best for him. Plus, she walked out on Carter, so he was technically single. Same for Steffy because she gave back her rings and dumped Finn. By the strictest definition, their marriages were over.

You know, at the point that Steffy and Carter might have wound up in bed together or on the CEO couch together, but Daphne and Finn will still see it as cheating and betrayal. So, we may see Steffy and Carter kissing and groping this week, or we might see them cut away to Steffy home in a robe, talking to Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig), and then having flashbacks of a drunken sofa mistake with Carter. One thing is for sure, as Brad Bell promised, this is all definitely life-changing.

It’s time for a Big Brother live feeds update including Rick Devens giving Drew Campbell a big hand in the game including a cheat code he may need soon. Plus, we have Angela Murray’s birthday madness, the scramble to save Kamu Kirk, and Yash Patel hitting on the ladies again.

Big Brother: Veto Meeting Let Down

Let’s start with the fallout from the veto meeting where Devens put his Diamond Power of Veto around Dee Valladares’s neck. That was after Yash didn’t use his regular power of veto.

Devens took down Dee and renommed Kamu. We were hoping for fireworks given the blindside move Devens made but nope. Angela said “Everyone’s taking it well”. And Dee said, “I hate that everyone’s taking it well.”

She wanted to see fights. But instead, it was literal crickets. There were hours of almost no talking, while the houseguests napped and sunned in the yard without touching on the veto shocker.

Big Brother 28: It’s Birthday time!

After that snooze fest, Taylor Brown cooked gyros for everyone for Angela’s birthday. And Lala Verrett made cake. Then, Taylor played emcee for Angela’s talent show. Kamu initially didn’t play along.

He said he was just an audience member. Dee fell over trying to do a handstand. Mallory Aurichio did a backroll then said the Declaration of Independence and alphabet backwards at top speed.

Yash did a bad magic trick. He tossed a blanket and said close your eyes then ran across the yard to hide. The best part of the bad magic was when Yash said he hates doing the trick because people bug him asking how did you do that?

Lala did a handstand in the middle of the yard, perfectly balanced. Barrett Pfeiffer, Mallory and Melody Morris did a mediocre birthday song. Haley Thogmartin demonstrated her softball arm. Devens contribution was hidden by production so I expect we’ll see it on the episode.

Big Brother: The Under Cooked Roast

Kamu finally decided to play and demonstrated some MMA moves on Drew, picking him up and manhandling him. Melody’s roast was meh. She said, “Angela, if you’re here, who’s losing first round in every competition?”

That got laughs. Melody mentioned when she first met Angela she was crying a lot and thought it was just the egg costume, but that’s just how she is. And the last joke was just a compliment. Taylor would’ve roasted Angela much better.

Lala sang a pretty birthday song for Angela. And everyone sang and gave her love and Angela said her 53rd was the most perfect birthday ever. It was all kumbaya and distracted everyone from the surprising veto meeting.

Big Brother 28: Dee & Devens’ Damage Control with Allies

Dee did some clean-up and told Barrett about her bribe power. Devens told Mallory and Melody-Drew that he made the DPOV move for them and their mosh pit alliance group.

Devens said he was good with Kamu, but this is what’s best for the group. Then the scramble for votes kicked off with Haley again not campaigning. Yash is working hard to save Kamu harder than Kamu is if I’m being honest.

Yash and Kamu worked on Mallory to join their side and pitched an alliance of everyone in the house besides the three vets and said they can run that to jury. I mean true, but good luck.

Kamu told Mallory about Dee’s bribe power but Yash lied and told Mallory that Dee was bribing him to nominate her and Melody. In my recollection, Dee asked to keep her and Angela off the block. And then just herself.

I remember Dee suggesting Drew as an alt but not the littles. Mallory told Yash all the reasons to take Kamu out now. Yash is fighting it. Taylor pitched to Mallory that keeping Kamu or Haley to go after the icons is smart.

But Mallory said we don’t need them to do that. And she told Taylor this is our shot to get Kamu out without getting much blood on our hands.

Big Brother: Is Kamu Toast or will Bro Code Save Him?

Haley tried to get Kamu worked up about being on the block but he said: “it’s Big Brother, had to happen. I think it’s kinda cool how it happened”. Later, Kamu threw Haley under the bus to Dee. So Kamu’s trying to stay.

Taylor did some self-motivation saying, “None of it is personal but game mode is officially turned on.” Also Yash told Barrett and Mallory they should have votes to save Kamu. He’s clueless.

However, Mallory wants to tell Yash before the vote that they’re sending Kamu out if he doesn’t win the blockbuster. Yash is now pushing to get Angela out when before, he didn’t want her to go.  Yash’s got to save the bro.

Icon Backlash on BB28

Mallory and Yash griped about Dee getting a power. He and Mallory complained about how bad she did at the puzzle and they talked about how he helped her then got nominated.

Yash and Mallory suspect if Dee doesn’t use the $5k bribe she gets to keep it. Mallory slammed Dee for not winning anything since HOH week 1. They ranted about her already winning Survivor, saying she shouldn’t win this.

Too bad Dee’s not on the block. But now they know if they nominate her, Devens can’t save her again. Also in a Melody, Yash, Kamu talk, Yash was stunned that Devens really had the Diamond POV and said some expletives.

Yash cursed him for not holding onto that until next week. Kamu said, “As soon as he was like, this veto ceremony is far from over, I thought, I’m going up”. Melody said she thought Devens was joking.

Kamu asked Drew to let him know if he doesn’t have the votes to stay. Mind you, Kamu was lying to Drew’s face when he was on the block fully planning to help evict him.

Big Brother: Haley’s Antics

Haley has a fit about something bizarre. Drew and Haley yard-walked and she doesn’t want to go to the jury house. She said she’d go crazy. Drew asked do you know what it’s like then explained it’s a villa with a pool.

You can watch movies, have your own room and bathroom. Haley said she can’t be cooped up. Umm. Isn’t that Big Brother. She told Drew she can’t be alone in the house for a week.

He said Haley might enjoy it and she snapped and said she’s done talking about it. Drew asked what if you’re the second person? Haley threatened to hit him. By the way, Drew’s still fully ratting to the vets.

He talked to Kamu then took it back to Dee and said Kamu told him part of me wants to win the Blockbuster but the other part of me wants Haley to win. He said he wants to sit on the block and prove to the icons the house is riding with him and not them.

Kamu said he wants to prove they’re not scared of the icons. Drew said he told Kamu, yeah bro, you should let Haley win because I don’t know if she stays against Angela.

Matchmaking in the BB28 House

In fun feeds stuff, Yash is soliciting women to be his wife, said they should send him a kiwi emoji. Said you might be my wife, enter my life, and hop in the DMs. The HOH group teased him and said that pitch must’ve gotten at least three.

Big Brother 28: The Devens Cheat Code

Just like he taught Drew to tie a tie, daddy Devens has another lesson for his TV son. He coached Drew on how to land a power in the BB Time Capsule instead of a punishment.

Although we know Drew really wants a punishment because he wants the attention. So, Devens told Drew you can spin a long time on the chair if you want, there’s no limit. He said there’s more powers than punishments now.

Devens told Drew to focus on one power square and then spin till he memorizes the pattern of what lights up before and after it because it’ll be consistent. Then you slap the button.

They suspect the time capsule winner will be Barrett, maybe Drew or perhaps Yash. I’m betting Drew. Also in other weird feeds stuff, for Mallory and Melody’s amusement, Barrett and Drew were reenacting scenes from the movie The Challengers.

As of today, Netflix subscribers worldwide have officially been treated to one of the best military dramas on television. As announced in January, the war series is part of a licensing agreement between Netflix and Paramount Global, which also brings shows like Taylor Sheridan’s Mayor of Kingstown and the medical drama Watson to the streamer. It should, however, be noted that only one major show, Lawmen: Bass Reeves, debuted on Netflix back in June as part of this deal.

From creator Benjamin Cavell and produced by CBS, the military series originally aired from September 27, 2017, to October 31, 2021, covering its first four seasons and parts of Season 5. The following month, the hit show made a highly publicized transition to streaming with the rest of Season 5 and the final two seasons streaming exclusively on Paramount+. During its CBS run, it was a solid ratings success in total viewers early on but later declined, prompting its move to streaming, where it performed adequately but not enough to prevent cancellation.

Starting today, August 18, 2026, all seven seasons of SEAL Team are streaming on Netflix in most regions worldwide, including the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, and Latin America, among others. This is a dream come true for many fans who don’t have access to Paramount+ and have missed significant parts of the series. Leading the action drama is TV icon David Boreanaz as Master Chief Special Warfare Operator Jason Hayes, and he is joined by Max Thieriot, Neil Brown Jr., A.J. Buckley, Toni Trucks, and Jessica Paré, who round out the titular team.

Is ‘SEAL Team’ Worth Watching?

With an 84% Popcornmeter score on Rotten Tomatoes, SEAL Team is a compelling series that keeps viewers engaged from start to finish. It centers on Bravo Team, a highly trained Navy SEAL unit, as they execute some of the most dangerous, high-stakes missions around the world on short notice. The series also highlights the intense pressure these missions place on the team members and their families. For them, failure isn’t an option, and this stress often pushes the team to rely on each other despite overwhelming odds, both in their missions and in their personal lives.

SEAL Team ended with Season 7 on Paramount+ in 2024, one year after the streamer announced that it would be the final run. Reports also confirmed at the time that a standalone movie that re-entered development in February 2022 and aimed to “expand the storytelling universe” had quietly been shelved.

SEAL Team is officially available to stream on Netflix. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming news.

Brenda Song is giving props to partner Macaulay Culkin and how his innate sense of style inspires her own iconic looks.

“He is so cool, and he has the best T-shirt collection. He’s truly, like, the true off-duty icon,” the Running Point actress, 38, exclusively tells Us while promoting her partnership with Marshalls. “He has the best wardrobe because he’s traveled the world and lived all over the place. So he’s accumulated the most incredible wardrobe.”

Song shares that Culkin’s ability to be “unapologetically himself” is one the qualities she loves most about him. (Song and Culkin, 45, started dating in 2017 and share two sons Dakota, 4, and Carson, 3.)

“The thing about Mac that I love, and I really strive to take inspiration from him is that he’s very confident in who he is, in his style, in the way he looks,” she gushes.” “So when he steps out of the house, whether it’s in a graphic tee or in a full suit, it’s all about confidence.”

Song teamed up with Marshalls to launch  its Fall Fashion Field Guide, which is a shoppable edit highlighting the season’s defining aesthetics and how shoppers can create their own with high-quality finds for every style and budget. The actress curated the guide with her signature fashion perspective inspired by fall trends.

She has been a loyal Marshalls shopper for her “entire life” as she would go on a “two hour shipping excursion with her mom. Now that she’s older — and a mom herself — she still looks to Marshalls to help her find the “different versions” of her style.

“I really just wanted people to pull inspiration from these vibes and take that and make [it] your own. It’s not about finding that exact jacket. It’s about finding a version of that jacket you feel confident in, that you like, and that suits your lifestyle,” she shares. “What I love about Marshalls is that you walk in, and first of all, it’s almost like treasure hunting. You don’t know what you’re gonna find until you go in there.”

The former Disney Channel star adds that Culkin’s mindset inspires her as well.

“I very much aspire to always be like that because for him, he could wear anything,” she explains. “And it’s like to me I realize ‘Oh it’s not about what you’re wearing it’s how you wear it.’”

Culkin’s take on fashion has inspired Song as she now focuses on her closet’s “staple pieces.”

“I love a great pair of jeans, the basics, and then I really like to accessorize per season. That’s what I think is really fun,” she tells Us. “You don’t have to break the bank or do anything outrageous to find really great accessories to update your outfit to keep up with these [things] because everything is always revolving and evolving.”

As a mom of two, Song’s style has evolved over the years. However, Song tells Us she feels more confident now compared to her 20s.

Thank You!

Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin really are the definition of “couple goals.” So who better to star in Express‘ new “Dress for Express” Spring 2025 campaign that marks a new chapter for the brand, celebrating confident self-expression through fashion? All the more reason to celebrate is the fact that Sprouse’s twin, Cole, shot the campaign […]

“I understand and appreciate my body and I’m more just self-confident in who I am and I think my style reflects that,” she tells Us. “I don’t stress about it as much anymore because I realize that this is sort of like my uniform. This is what makes me feel comfortable, but it’s also taken me 38 years to sort of figure that out, and that’s why this field guide was such a personal thing for me because I wanted to just help inspire women to like to find what makes them feel most confident because that’s for me.”

Much like her partner, Song strives to show off her authentic self through her fashion choices.

“I want to feel authentic to me, and what I’m feeling in that moment. And fashion is subjective,” she explains, “It’s so subjective and so I’m like, ‘If you love it, wear it.’ That is my biggest fashion rule. If you love it, wear it. Who cares what anyone else thinks?”

Doctor Who has had many Doctors come through the TARDIS doors. But what is the Doctor without his companion? Or companions? When Matt Smith took over as the Eleventh Doctor, he met young Amelia Pond (Caitlin Blackwood) almost instantly. She was the first face that that face saw and when he came back to find Amy (Karen Gillan) grown and ready to explore space and time, the rest was Doctor Who history. Fans have missed the era of Amy, her love Rory (Arthur Darvill), and the Doctor. And now we’re getting Amy and Rory back in action!

It was announced via a new Instagram account created by Darvill and Gillan for their new Doctor Who adventure: A podcast! The two posted a video talking about their new podcast, titled The Karen and Arthur Podcast, explaining that it will include stories from the show and more. The caption said that they will be “releasing our first episode soon. Keep checking this instagram for updates you beautiful people.” But it also included a bit of the set up for the show as well, with Darvill saying “We’re going to be doing some chatting.” Gillan responded by saying “and drinking tea, telling stories” with Darvill ending it with a “And reminiscing and generally having an absolutely lovely time.”

News of the podcast isn’t exactly “new.” Darvill has been teasing it for a while, The idea of a “Pondcast” with the Ponds started when Darvill spoke with Radio Times last year. He told the outlet “We really get on and we catch up quite often, and we had such a good time [on Doctor Who]. It was so long ago and we’ve forgotten so much that happened, but it was such a formative thing, that we feel now that we’re able to look back and celebrate it.” He revealed at the time that he hadn’t seen about “half of it,” meaning their time on the show, and that back then, they’d already recorded some episodes. Now, we’re just waiting for the first episode to drop!

The Best Companions For the Doctor

Back when Smith took over as the Doctor, the show was in an interesting period. Gone were the days when it was a show mostly for only UK audiences. His era of Doctor Who brought in streaming in the US at the same time it did in the UK and allowed the show, that was already getting bigger under David Tennant‘s tenure, to grow. Part of what made the two seasons that Smith was with the Ponds so special was the dynamic between the trio. When “Angels Take Manhattan” separated the Doctor from his beloved Amelia until Smith’s final episode, “The Time of the Doctor.”

You can relive Doctor Who by watching Gillan and Darvill’s seasons!

Hilary Duff is remembering the private late-night conversations she shared with Hayden Panettiere while the two young actresses navigated fame during the early 2000s. Following Panettiere’s sudden death at 36, the “Lizzie McGuire” star reflected on the rare connection they formed as teenagers working inside an industry few people their age could fully understand.

Although Duff acknowledged that the two women eventually lost touch, she said her memories of Panettiere remain defined by the actress’ work ethic, energy and unmistakable smile. “Sweet Hayden. Really tough hearing this news,” Duff began her Instagram tribute. “We lost touch through the years but I will always remember you as so hardworking and effervescent, with that big, gorgeous smile.”

Duff and Panettiere followed parallel paths into the entertainment industry. Duff became a Disney Channel sensation through “Lizzie McGuire,” while Panettiere established herself on “One Life to Live” before transitioning into major film and television roles.

Behind the images presented to audiences, the young performers were attempting to understand the unusual pressure and responsibility that came with becoming famous before adulthood. “I remember staying up late, chatting and gossiping, and connecting because we were part of such a small sliver of people who actually understood the strange lot in life we were navigating. So young, with no real idea how to make sense of any of it,” Duff wrote.

Duff concluded her tribute by expressing sorrow that Panettiere’s life had ended so young. “I so deeply wish this wasn’t the end for you. Sending a heart full of love to your family, the many people you impacted and everyone who loved you. rest easy,” she shared.

Hayden Panettiere Said She ‘Didn’t Get A Chance To Be A Kid’

5

Panettiere previously spoke about the complicated reality beneath her childhood success. She began appearing on “One Life to Live” as Sarah Roberts at age 4, although she had already been working in commercials since infancy.

In a 2022 interview with PEOPLE, the actress explained that her early career contained both meaningful experiences and lasting emotional consequences. “There are happy memories, but there was also a lot of trauma,” Panettiere said. “Crying over and over again [in a scene], what does that do to a child’s mind, when they’re praised for feeling sad?”

She also described struggling to understand who she was away from the roles she played. “I didn’t get a chance to be a kid,” she continued. “And when I was at school, I was bullied. The lunchroom was the bane of my existence. I was only about 12 when I had an identity crisis. I just didn’t know where I fit in.”

Alexa PenaVega Reflects On Child-Star Losses

5

Alexa PenaVega also addressed the pressures of growing up in the entertainment industry after Panettiere’s death. The “Spy Kids” star connected Panettiere’s passing to the recent deaths of two other former child performers: Michelle Trachtenberg, who died in February 2025 at 39 and Daveigh Chase, who died in June at 35. “Hayden, Michelle, Daveigh… my heart is heavy today,” PenaVega wrote on Instagram. “These aren’t just names from my childhood. They’re girls I grew up alongside, sharing a world that was exciting and also incredibly hard.”

PenaVega reflected on the lack of support some young actors experienced while attempting to navigate fame, adult responsibilities and public scrutiny. “We were kids navigating something so big, and not everyone had the foundation or support they deserved,” she continued. “Today, I’m grieving and holding their families close in my prayers and thinking of everyone still fighting battles we can’t see. Hug your people close today.”

Panettiere Reportedly Endured ‘Really Severe’ Back Pain

In addition to the struggles Panettiere had previously discussed publicly, people close to her said she experienced serious physical pain during the months before her death. Her hairstylist and friend, Erick Orellana, said Panettiere had been dealing with significant back problems earlier in the year. “I know she suffered earlier this year with her back,” Orellana told Page Six.

He described the pain as “really severe” and said it affected her mobility. “At one point, it was even hard for her to move her legs,” Orellana added.

Panettiere was photographed using crutches while traveling through Los Angeles International Airport with Brian Hickerson in March. Despite the severity of the earlier symptoms, Orellana believed that she was “starting to be on the mend.”

A second source recalled that the actress sometimes appeared exhausted but noted that her schedule and sleeping habits may have contributed. “Earlier this year, she did seem a little tired at times. But she was a night owl, and … she has a lot on her plate,” the insider said.

The source also claimed Panettiere “suffered from anxiety at times” and would “occasionally take medication for that,” and “every so often that could impact her speech.”

Hayden Panettiere’s Cause Of Death Remains Undetermined

Panettiere died Sunday, August 16, after being found unresponsive at an Airbnb rental inside the Judson Mill Lofts complex in Greenville, South Carolina. Paramedics responded to a 911 call involving an “unidentified female” in cardiac arrest.

Dispatch audio referenced an “overdose” and indicated that “CPR [was] in progress.” Emergency personnel attempted to revive Panettiere using advanced cardiac life support and chest compressions, but she was pronounced dead at 2:32 p.m.

The investigation has not yet produced an official cause.

While several major stars, especially those who are known for their work in genre cinema, have either dabbled in or pivoted entirely to streaming, there are two key holdouts. Neither Jason Statham nor Gerard Butler, who are often considered genres unto themselves, has ever headlined a streaming original movie. And yet, it would seem that their primary audience is at home. Both stars are coming off box office underperformers — Shelter and Greenland 2: Migration — released in the same month and directed by the same filmmaker, Ric Roman Waugh. And both movies have more than redeemed themselves with huge home-video runs.

Producer Basil Iwanyk, best known for the John Wick franchise, revealed that every movie that Statham or Butler stars in eventually makes its money back. Appearing on The Ringer and Puck’s The Town podcast, he said that both stars are highly intelligent when it comes to curating their output, and that it is a conscious decision to not work on streaming projects even though they’ve been offered millions by streaming platforms. Iwanyk revealed that Statham works entirely by himself, and doesn’t have an agent or manager overseeing his career. In his own words:

“Jason Statham and Gerard Butler have not done a streaming movie. They’re very, very, very smart. They’re actually a lot more clever and astute about who their audience is and the world they occupy. Jason doesn’t have an agent or a manager. He’s in complete control of his career. You go directly to Jason, for everything large and small. It’s a conscious decision for them not to make a streaming movie. It’s interesting to me that the two most successful mini-genres, Gerry and Jason, are theatrical guys, and they’re firmly theatrical guys.”

Jason Statham’s New Action Movie Is Around the Corner

Statham and Butler’s latest films were released theatrically in January, the same window in which Netflix debuted the smash-hit The Rip, starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Butler will soon star in Empire City, written by S. Craig Zahler and also featuring Hayley Atwell. Before that, Statham’s fans can see him in this week’s Mutiny, which also features Annabelle Wallis.

Young and the Restless puts Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) determined to take Chancellor away from Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) and Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn). And now that Billy found those loan documents that seem to prove Chancellor belongs to the Abbotts, he’s already going power mad.

He’s already going insane already and just running amuck and Billy is acting like Chancellor belongs to him, to just him. And that’s not the case. It belongs to him, Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson), Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), and Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland). And Billy might soon get a painful reminder of that fact.

Young and the Restless: Billy’s Dead Set on Chancellor

So, right now, Billy’s adamant that Chancellor belongs to him, and he already put Lily and Cane on notice. And Lily was furious to hear Billy’s claims, told him he’s fired and give back the files he took. But he clapped back at Lily and said, “You can’t fire me, but she’s already declaring war on Billy and vice versa.”

And of course, Cane’s angry, too. And he warned Billy that he’s going to have to go through him if he tries to hurt Lily by taking her company away from her. This week, Cane tries to get Jack on board to help reign Billy back in, but Jack tells Cane he doesn’t want anything to do with this mess. Who can blame him?

Jack wants to stay out of it, even though he wishes Billy would just leave it alone. The only thing Jack really cares about is protecting his father, John Abbott’s (Jerry Douglas), legacy and his reputation. And Jack warns Cane this week that in the middle of all this mess, if John’s legacy is tarnished by him, then Cane is going to have to answer to Jack.

Billy Lashes Out on Y&R

Meanwhile, Billy barged into the Jabot office, and he found Cane there with Jack and Billy made it clear that he won’t stop and he wants Chancellor. And then when Jack asks him, “Why do you want it?” Billy stormed out mad. And then he ran into Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) and tried to lure him away from being loyal to his sister Lily, which is crazy.

Basically, Billy’s running amuck. He’s already power mad before Chancellor’s even been handed over, before he even has the keys to the kingdom. And this is also before Lily can have her day in court to challenge this takeover of Billy’s that is nothing short of hostile. The issue is that his siblings, Ashley, Jack, and Traci, know he’s like a dog with a bone with this.

He used to be a gambling addict, and at this point, I think Billy’s just addicted to chaos and troublemaking. So, Ashley’s take on it is just let Billy have it. It’ll be easier. And Traci doesn’t want Billy to hurt people, but Traci also knows if they intervene, then Billy will just wind up really mad at them.

Lily Turns to Jack on Young and Restless

So, by the end of the week, Lily’s in Jack’s office trying to get him to help her. And between now and then, if Billy’s run all over Genoa City acting like a maniac, Jack and his sisters may realize they have no choice but to intervene. Because if Billy doesn’t stop, he will blow his life apart. This week, spoilers say Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) is not happy about Billy making another grab for Chancellor.

So, Jack may decide that even if Billy gets angry at them in the short run, losing Chancellor may be what is best for Billy in the long run. But can you imagine the Abbott family civil war that would come? Even if those loan documents are legit, that doesn’t mean Billy himself gets Chancellor. All the children of John Abbott have an equal share.

So, Jack, Traci, and Ashley can take Billy out of the equation. You know, Jack can accept a buyback offer from Lily where she pays off the loan and the interest. And if three of the four Abbott heirs sign off on it, everybody but Billy, well, that’s a done deal. And then Lily can keep the company. That’s honestly best for everybody because Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is already making a play against Billy this week, which means Victor could also target Sally in double payback against Billy and that would be really bad.

Young and the Restless: The Abbotts Run Chancellor

Now, another option is that the Abbotts could keep Chancellor and run it and just pay Billy his one quarter share of the profits. But honestly, I don’t see it going that way. They’ve got Jabot. I don’t know why they would want Chancellor. I suspect it’s more likely to be a deal with Lily and Cane to satisfy the debt that Philip Chancellor owed to John Abbott. So, no matter how it plays out, selling Chancellor to Lily or keeping it.

But Billy’s blocked out of it on Young and the Restless. Can you imagine how insane he’d go if Jack foiled his Chancellor dream and with his sisters voting to do it as well? I’m guessing that his mom, Jill Abbott (Jess Walton), will side with the other Abbotts and will not want Billy to have it because it’s nothing short of an obsession with him. And as Jack pointed out, Billy should be focused on Sally and the baby. And Billy crushing Lily and Cane and incurring Victor’s wrath could really hurt his relationship with Sally. It would be better for Billy if he just forgot about Chancellor. But of course, he won’t.

Young and Restless: Billy May Leave his Siblings with No Choice

So, if it goes down like this and Jack, Traci, and Ashley feel like they have to turn on Billy even with the best of intentions, he would lose his ever loving mind. I think it’s possible because this Chancellor obsession is not healthy. It’s out of control. It has been for a while. And it could ruin the new life that Billy has built with Sally and ruin the future of the new baby they have on the way.

Billy Could Lose Sally on Y&R

And if Billy can’t stop, if he can’t let it go, I could see Sally reaching her breaking point and just walking out on Billy and that or something to do with her threatening to walk out could be the deciding factor that has Jack, Ashley, and Traci deciding they have to do something.

So, they might take Chancellor out of Billy’s hands specifically to keep him from losing Sally and from losing a chance to raise this baby and to lose what might legit be Billy’s last chance at happiness in this life.

As Jack said, if Victor still owned Chancellor, he really wouldn’t care so much about Billy taking it. But because he’s hurting Lily and others, it’s not okay. And in the end, he’s hurting himself. And Billy’s also going to keep on with accusations about Jill.

Young and Restless: Abbott Family Intervention and Billy’s Unraveling

And I mean, heck, Billy might be the one to damage John’s legacy with all of this. By the end of the week, it looks like Newman Media is doing some smear campaign type stuff against Billy. So, Victor might even drag John Abbott’s name into that, saying he would be ashamed of Billy. He’s betraying the family legacy.

And that could help push Jack and his sisters into thinking, “Okay, we got to shut this down. Even though Billy’s going to be mad at us, I do suspect Chancellor is going to wind up back in Lily’s hands.” Billy may wind up never forgiving his siblings if they’re the ones who make it happen.

And of course, if Victor’s involved, Billy may accuse Jack of conspiring with his worst enemy against him. I do think Lily appealing to him might start to get through to Jack. And all of his concerns about Sally are really valid.

Billy Loses Chancellor on Young and the Restless

But then in the end, I think what it might come down to is the other Abbotts, Jack in particular, just deciding we have to do what’s best for Billy because he’s not doing what’s best for himself. Remember, not that long ago, Billy told Kyle that before he was born, Jack was like a father figure to him because of their age difference, and Billy even resented Kyle a little for kind of taking his dad, Jack, from him. All of that is true.

It feels like Jack has been parenting Billy for all of his adult life and obviously his young life as well. So, Jack may step up and do the hard thing, do the right thing, even if it means Billy’s ticked off at him. No matter how it happens, if he’s this close to getting Chancellor and then loses it, Billy is going to explode. I’m sure he’ll blow up his life because Sally doesn’t like this Chancellor stuff. And if she’s not 100 percent in agreement with Billy, he’ll probably get mad at her and he may turn on her, may turn on Jack, and we could see Billy the lone wolf completely losing his mind and going over the edge.

In the last few years, Apple TV has become one of the premier streaming homes in the world for original sci-fi programming. The streamer boasts one of the most impressive libraries of original sci-fi shows, but the two at the top of the pile are Severance and Pluribus. Both shows have been renewed for new seasons, but both are still lacking return dates as fans grow more impatient by the day for new episodes from Ben Stiller and Vince Gilligan’s hit sci-fi series. One show sitting at the top of Apple TV watchlists worth checking out to hold over fans of Severance and Pluribus is Silo, the epic dystopian thriller starring Rebecca Ferguson. New episodes of Silo are added to streaming weekly, and Apple TV has already confirmed that the fourth and final season will be released next summer.

One department Apple TV fell behind its streaming competitors was older movies and TV shows — the streamer has stuck mostly to original programming until now. Apple TV has begun to acquire licenses for movies and shows that have been lost to time, and the latest film to land on the platform is I, Robot. The 2004 sci-fi thriller stars Will Smith, and it grossed over $350 million at the box office against a $120 million budget. I, Robot had been absent from streaming for some time, but the film was recently added to Apple TV’s standard streaming library for all subscribers, and it’s also crept into the top 10, sitting at #7 at the time of writing. Bridget Moynahan, Bruce Greenwood, and even Alan Tudyk all have key roles in I, Robot.

What Is ‘I, Robot’ About?

I, Robot is set in the year 2035, and it follows a technophobic cop who investigates a crime he suspects was committed by a robot. This leads him to discover a much larger threat to humanity, while also forcing him to question the morals and feelings he’s had about technology his entire life. I, Robot is perfect for fans of Blade Runner, as it is set in a world where the relationship between humans and androids is morally blurred, but the film also has shades of Tom Cruise’s iconic sci-fi thriller, Minority Report. Del Spooner from I, Robot and John Anderton from Minority Report both find themselves in the middle of a complicated techno-conspiracy with implications for the entire human race.

Check out I, Robot streaming on Apple TV and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Will Smith’s future projects.
