Hayden Panettiere’s Cause Of Death Reportedly Revealed
According to USA Today, the Greenville County Coroner’s Office has ruled the “toxic effects of fentanyl, 4-ANPP, Alprazolam, Methocarbamol and Quetiapine” as the cause of death for the actor, who passed away at 36. Furthermore, her manner of death was listed as accidental.
Per the outlet, fentanyl is a “synthetic opioid drug used to treat pain.” Alprazolam, or better known as Xanax, is used to treat anxiety, and methocarbamol treats “discomfort caused by acute (short-term), painful muscle or bone conditions.” In contrast, quetiapine is used for “schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression.”

Instagram user @jux2_dion wrote, “I don’t think there’s any conspiracy here, she struggled with addiction, and nobody benefits from her being gone. Sometimes it is just an overdose.”
While Instagram user @anttgyatt added, “have some human decency a little bit people it’s not about dragging out her death, it’s about spreading awareness for people who are in the same situation this is the real world anything can happen to anybody but kindness and the overall fact of showing people they ain’t alone can go a long way !!

More On Hayden Panettiere’s Passing
As The Shade Room previously reported, Hayden Panettiere was reportedly found unresponsive at the Judson Mill Lofts in South Carolina on August 16. More recently, it was reported that the investigation into her death turned cross-country. Per The Shade Room, authorities were looking to determine if Panettiere “obtained illicit drugs from a dealer in Southern California.”
Around the time her body was discovered, it was reported that she had gone into cardiac arrest after a possible overdose. Furthermore, it was noted that CPR was performed on her. However, she was ultimately pronounced deceased.
Her boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, reportedly gave authorities a bag of her medications while at the scene.
Last year, KWN sat down with Angie Martinez to discuss the many highs and lows throughout her growing music career. From losing her music files to missing Melanie and more, the singer opened up about several personal topics during their conversation. During one part of the interview, KWN was asked who her celebrity crush was and quickly named actress Keke Palmer.
Without hesitation, KWN made her feelings about the actress clear, emphasizing, “I like Keke.” Angie then asked what she liked about Keke, questioning if it was because she was “funny, sweet, and pretty.” KWN responded, “All three, all of the above,” agreeing with Angie that she likes someone who isn’t afraid of a big personality.
Now, the conversation is receiving renewed attention following comments KWN made during a recent interview, prompting online backlash.
KWN Clears The Air About Keke Palmer Being Her Celebrity Crush
As of late, KWN sat down with Complex and was asked about previously naming Keke Palmer as her celebrity crush. The singer responded during the interview, “Do you know it was kind of a joke when I said that?”

The interviewer appeared shocked, questioning whether KWN was serious about it being a joke, given how invested she had been in her original answer. KWN continued, “Keke is a beautiful woman, but it was a joke,” before sharing more about what happened.
She explained that her team told her to name Keke before appearing on Angie Martinez’s show and discussing her celebrity crush. The interviewer then suggested that Keke was a safe answer because “everyone loves Keke,” and KWN agreed.
When asked who her real celebrity crush was, KWN instead named Alexa Demie, who played Maddy on ‘Euphoria.’
KWN took to social media to address the backlash. The singer emphasized that the message was coming directly from her and not her team. She apologized to anyone she offended and revealed that she had also reached out to Keke Palmer privately.
“The word ‘joke’ was the wrong choice of words, and I hold my hands up and take full accountability of that. Wrong choice of words. I didn’t mean for it to be spun in this way,” she said.
KWN then provided more context, explaining that she was in a relationship last year and gave different answers to keep it private. She later publicly confirmed her relationship with Kehlani in October 2025.
“It’s been a bunch of interviews. I’m talking, like, four or five interviews a day, and every single interview, they’re asking me, ‘Who’s your celebrity crush? Who’s your celebrity crush?’ And I know what they were trying to get out of me. They were trying to get me to say the person I was dating… so that they could fuel the fire and fuel the rumors. So I was just saying a bunch of different women, just to try to stay away from my personal life,” she continued.
KWN recalled that her team suggested KeKe Palmer after seeing the celebrity crush question before her interview with Angie Martinez. She also clarified that KeKe and other women were never intended as the targets of her comments.
“KeKe Palmer’s a beautiful woman. Like, I never once discredited her… Black women were never the butt of the joke. Women in general were never the butt of the joke,” she added.
KWN ended by further explaining what she meant when she initially described the situation as a “joke.”

“The joke of it all was the person’s name I wanted to say was somebody I wanted to keep private in my life. So obviously I couldn’t say their name at the time,” she reiterated.
Social Media Reacts
Folks quickly gathered under The Shade Room’s post as Roomies shared their thoughts on KWN’s apology. Some weren’t here for KeKe being used as part of the “joke,” while others argued that KWN didn’t need to apologize.
Instagram user @s.nashay wrote, “This was weird cause she could’ve just said Alexa the first time and we would’ve understood cause she’s beautiful.🤣🤣🤣🤣this was just unnecessarily weird. now Keke done caught a stray”
Instagram user @steezotm added, “Honestly sometimes people should just shut up ! KEKE IS THE ULTIMATE CRUSH ! Never play on her top! Tf”
While Instagram user @itsjaybarbie wrote, “And where was the joke? Where was the keke? No pun intended”

Instagram user @storrietimez wrote, “the issue isn’t even kwns preference, it’s the fact that keke palmers name was thrown out there as a “joke”. Using a black woman like a pawn in an attempt to gain popularity, can’t respect that.”
Instagram user @makinyourdai added, “Black women isn’t a joke. Idek why her team made her say that when she could’ve just answered the question with her actual celebrity crush? Her team must thought she was about to get some cool points… negative”
While Instagram user @officiallyroyaltayy wrote, “Ouu yall would hate for me to be a celebrity 😂 I wouldn’t be APOLOGIZING FOR SHI!!”
Instagram user @mikaelchalyce wrote, “Damn if she do damn if she don’t 😀what she’s saying but she has to learn to be more of a mystery. Also, it’s nothing wrong with saying “I plead the 5th” when asked a question you don’t wanna answer.🤣”
Although he first gained fame for his on-screen role as Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy, Mark Hamill is one of the most prominent and prolific voice actors in animation. He famously portrayed the Joker on Batman: The Animated Series in 1992, and has gone back to reprise the character numerous times. He’s since starred in a number of animated series, often in villainous or supernatural roles, including the Hobgoblin on Spider-Man, Fire Lord Ozai on Avatar: The Last Airbender, Skips on Regular Show, and the Hanukkah Zombie on Futurama. Recently, he played the villainous Flying Dutchman in The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants. Now, he’s set to return as one of the most beloved ’90s animated characters ever.
The terror that flaps in the night is back. Darkwing Duck, Disney’s greatest crime-fighting fowl, is getting a new animated reboot on Disney+. The series, which will be produced by Seth Rogen and his Point Grey Productions, has been in development for years, but now it finally has the green light from the streamer. We also finally know some more details about the series, including its star-studded voice cast. Darkwing Duck debuted in 1991; it told the tale of Drake Mallard, an average citizen of the city of St. Canard by day, and the masked vigilante Darkwing Duck by night. Bereft of any superhuman (or super-avian) powers, Darkwing Duck battles crime with the help of his wits, his array of high-tech vehicles and gadgets, his trusty sidekick Launchpad McQuack, and his youthful ward, Gosalyn.
The series starred veteran voice actor Jim Cummings as Darkwing Duck; he later returned in the 2017 DuckTalesreboot as Jim Starling, an actor who plays the fictional Darkwing, and becomes the villainous Negaduck when he’s recast, while the new Darkwing becomes a vigilante for real. The new Darkwing Duck reboot will not follow up on that DuckTales plotline, but will instead serve as a sequel to the original series. As it opens, Drake Mallard (Hamill, Star Wars) has been trapped in an alternate reality where he was never a superhero. However, with the help of Duckie (Lilimar, Inside Out 2), a rebellious teenager, he finds his way back to heroics, and to Launchpad (Rogen), Gosalyn (Lizzy Caplan, Party Down), and his mystical lady love, Morgana. Unfortunately, he’s also got to face off against his old foes, including Megavolt and Negaduck.

Collider Exclusive · 8 Questions · 2 Minutes Which Superhero Team Should You Join? Avengers · X-Men · Teen Titans · The Boys
Every team is a personality test with a uniform. One saves the world and argues about it the whole way home. One has been fighting for the right to exist since the day it formed. One is still working out who it is while the fighting happens. And one has no powers at all, plus no intention of playing fair. Eight questions decide where you actually belong.
🛡️Avengers(Marvel Studios)

💊The Boys(Prime Video)

01
What kind of power would you actually want? The power matters less than what you would be willing to do with it.
Advertisement
02
Why join a team at all? Nobody puts on the suit for the reason they say out loud.
Advertisement
03
How do you feel about the people in charge? Every team has a chain of command. Very few of them survive contact.
Advertisement
04
What is your role inside a group? Every roster needs the same handful of people to function.

05
How do you win a fight you should lose? This is the scene the entire film gets built around.

06
What is this work costing you? Nobody does this for free. The bill just arrives differently for everyone.

07
How should the world see your team? Half of this job is public relations, and everybody knows it.

The offer arrives. What makes you say yes? Eight questions in, this is the one that decides your team.

Recruitment Is Complete Your Team Is…
Four teams, four completely different reasons to put yourself in danger
for strangers. This is the roster you actually belong on, what they would want from you, and what it
would cost you to stay.

Marvel Studios · The Avengers · Since 2012
The Avengers
You belong where the stakes are largest and the personalities are
loudest. This is a team of people who are all used to being the most important person in the
room, which is exactly why it works and exactly why it keeps nearly falling apart.
The Avengers are not friends who became a team. They are a team that slowly and
reluctantly became friends, and you would recognise every stage of that process.
You can hold your own among big egos without needing to win every exchange, which is the
real entry requirement here.
The arguing is part of the method. This group does its best thinking mid-disagreement,
usually at volume, usually in a very expensive building.
When the sky opens, they are who shows up. You would want to be standing in that line.
Advertisement
Marvel · X-Men · Since 1963
The X-Men
You have never had the luxury of being thanked for this. The
X-Men protect a world that has never once been comfortable with them existing, and something
in you understands exactly why they keep doing it anyway.
This is the only team on the list whose central conflict is not a villain. It is being
wanted gone by the same people they keep saving.
You know what it is to be the outsider in a room and to decide, anyway, that you will
not make yourself smaller so everyone else is comfortable.
The X-Men are the most genuine found family in comics. People arrive with nowhere else
to go and are never once asked to explain themselves.
You would not be joining for the glory. There has never been any.
Advertisement
DC · Teen Titans · Since 1964
The Teen Titans
You do not want colleagues, you want your people. The Titans are
the team where the friendship came first and the world-saving turned up afterwards as an
inconvenient side effect.
Every Titan is somebody’s sidekick who decided to stop being one. That decision, not the
villain of the week, is what the team is actually about.
You would be joining people who are all working themselves out at the same time as you,
which is far less lonely than being the only one.
The Titans lose regularly. Then they eat together and come back better, which is a more
honest model of growing up than any other team here manages.
The tower would be loud, chaotic, and the first place that ever felt like yours.
Advertisement
Prime Video · The Boys · Since 2019
The Boys
You are not asking who to trust. You worked out the answer a
while ago and it was nobody in a cape. This is where you go once you have decided the people
in charge need watching, and that nobody else is going to do it.
The Boys have no powers, no mandate and no funding. What they have is leverage,
patience, and a very high tolerance for consequences.
You are the person in the room who notices the thing everybody else has quietly agreed
not to mention.
This is not a heroic team and it has never pretended otherwise. It is a group of damaged
people doing necessary work in ways nobody would call clean.
You would not sleep well. You would keep going anyway.

The woman’s video only appeared to ignite more reactions. Subsequently, Boosie spoke out, alleging that the woman tried to “sell herself” to him but he refused, per The Shade Room.
Ultimately, the woman alleged that she and a friend had spent extended time with Boosie and one of his friends before arriving at a hotel with them, per The Shade Room. She also alleged that she and Boosie did not have sex; however, he did allegedly touch and expose her chest.
Ultimately, Nelson stayed mum on the subject. However, she did share a few posts online that appeared to show her disappointment at the alleged events.
It’s been an exciting year for Adam Driver fans after it was announced that he’s joining the cast of Marvel’s next X-Men movie, but he’s attached to star in a new crime thriller that just got an exciting new look. After starring as Kylo Ren in a series of Star Wars sequel movies, fans were skeptical that Driver would ever return to star in a project under the Disney banner, be it Star Wars or even Marvel. However, he shocked the world by calling in via Zoom at D23 to announce he had been cast as Mister Sinister opposite a host of other stars in Marvel’s X-Men film. The currently untitled movie is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 5, 2028, and it’s expected to film most of the next year to make its 2028 launch.
However, before Driver suits up as Mister Sinister for Marvel’s X-Men movie, he’s set to reunite with his Marriage Story co-star for a new crime thriller premiering in less than two months. Driver is teaming up once again with Scarlett Johansson and Miles Teller (Top Gun: Maverick) for Paper Tiger, which was written and directed by James Gray. This afternoon, Neon officially released the new trailer for Paper Tiger before the film finally hits theaters on November 20. The movie has been on the film festival circuit for a while now, and after being named Official Selection at a few of the biggest festivals in the world, including Cannes and the New York Film Festival, it’s safe to say Paper Tiger is one of the most anticipated films of the year.

What would a criminal mastermind notice about you first? Great villains choose their opponents carefully. Something about you got their attention.

The Case File Is Complete Your Nemesis Is…
Four criminal masterminds. One of them was always going to be yours.
Here is who comes for you, why they picked you out of everyone available, and what they want from
the encounter.
Advertisement
The Silence of the Lambs · Hannibal · 1991–2002
Hannibal Lecter
Your nemesis does not want to beat you. He wants to know you
completely, and he is patient enough to wait for it. The frightening part is how good the
conversation is.
Lecter is the most dangerous kind of opponent: the one who finds you interesting. He
never raises his voice, because he has never needed to.
You keep a great deal to yourself and you are careful about what you show. That reserve
is exactly the door he would knock on.
The films understood something other thrillers missed. The horror is not the violence.
It is being perfectly understood by the wrong person.
He would be unfailingly polite about all of it. That is the worst part.
Advertisement
Batman · The Dark Knight · 1989–2019
The Joker
Your nemesis is not after money, territory or revenge. He is
after a demonstration, and you are the person he has chosen to prove his point on.
The Joker only picks opponents who believe in something. Your decency is not a defence
against him. It is the entire reason he showed up.
He has no plan you can predict and nothing you can take away, which removes every tool
you would normally reach for.
His whole argument is that you are one bad day away from being him, and you would spend
the rest of your life proving him wrong.
He would call it a magic trick. You would call it the worst night of your life.
Advertisement
Sherlock Holmes · The Final Problem · Since 1893
Moriarty
Your nemesis respects you, which sounds flattering until you work
out what it means. He chose you because nobody else was worth his time.
Moriarty is the original criminal mastermind, the template every later one borrows from:
a mind the equal of the hero’s, pointed the wrong way.
You enjoy being the cleverest person in the room. He is counting on exactly that, and he
has already built the room.
This is the rare nemesis who would be genuinely disappointed if you lost badly. He needs
the game to be worth playing.
It ends the way these things always end. Two people, one problem, and only one way down.
Advertisement
No Country for Old Men · 2007
Anton Chigurh
Your nemesis has no personal interest in you whatsoever, and that
is precisely what makes him unsurvivable. You are not a rival. You are a stop on the way.
Chigurh does not negotiate, gloat or explain. He arrives, he asks one question, and the
answer was decided long before you opened your mouth.
You trust yourself to handle things. He is the one problem in the world that has no
interest in how capable you are.
No Country for Old Men rewrote the screen villain by removing the thing audiences
quietly rely on: the sense that talking might work.
Call it. He will wait.

At this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, comedian, writer, and actor Caleb Hearon (The Devil Wears Prada 2) celebrated his feature screenplay debut, Trash Mountain, co-written with Ruby Caster (Bleeding Love), where he stars in a leading role opposite Zooey Deschanel(New Girl), who plays his sister in the film. While there, Hearon, Deschanel, and director Kris Rey (I Used to Go Here) spoke with Collider’s Steve Weintraub about the making of the dramedy.
Trash Mountain follows Gavin’s (Hearon) return to his small-town Missouri roots after his sister, Abbi (Deschanel), calls to let him know their reclusive father has passed. Upon his arrival, ready to help sort his hoarder father’s heaps of belongings, Gavin and Abbi discover that their father’s paperwork can’t be processed without his Social Security card — lost to the mountain of trash and personal items throughout the house. All the while, Gavin is confronted by his grandmother’s (Jackie Weaver) grief he can’t seem to process on his own, and his recent hookup in town (Jaboukie Young-White).
In this interview, the trio stops by the Collider Media Studio,presented by Campari and The Cayman Islands, to discuss how Trash Mountain explores grief, family dynamics, and blends comedy with tragedy.

Wyatt apparently separated from her ex-boyfriend, Anthony Whitehead, in 2025. Wyatt has been married and divorced three times — from her third husband, Zackariah Darring, first husband, Rahmat Morton, and second husband, Michael Ford, per PEOPLE. She hasn’t yet shared her man’s name publicly.
When it comes to popular gaming franchises to emerge in the last 5–10 years, few have been as successful as Cyberpunk 2077, though it hasn’t been without its controversy. After years of development, it’s safe to say the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the most anticipated in history, but it didn’t exactly go according to plan. The game launched in such a poor state that developer CD Projekt Red was forced to issue full refunds to those who were unable to enjoy it, but various quality-of-life and DLC updates over the years have fully redeemed it as one of the best next-gen games. Years later, Netflix released a new anime series inspired by the game, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, which dropped its first season back in 2022 to resounding success.
Earlier this year, Netflix finally announced that the highly anticipated second season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is set to be released on October 20. Netflix even released the first pulse-pounding teaser trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 a few weeks ago, but now the streamer has delivered yet another gift to fans of the show who are waiting on pins and needles for new updates. Collider is thrilled to partner with Netflix just a few weeks before the premiere of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 to exclusively preview a new sneak peek at the show. Like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 1, Season 2 will feature 10 episodes, all of which are set to premiere as a binge on October 20. Season 2 will also feature a brand-new standalone story, meaning the beloved Season 1 characters like D are not expected to return in the new batch of episodes.

Your Hero Has Been Identified Your Sci-Fi Hero Is…
Your answers point to the iconic sci-fi hero who shares your instincts, your values, and your particular way of facing the impossible.

Arrakis · Dune
Paul Atreides
You carry a weight most people would crumble under — the knowledge of what you’re capable of, and the burden of what you might have to become.
You see further ahead than others and you plan accordingly, even when the vision frightens you.
You are driven by loyalty to your people and a sense of destiny you didn’t ask for but can’t escape.
Paul Atreides is not simply a hero — he is someone who understands the cost of power and chooses to bear it anyway.
That gravity, that willingness to carry what others won’t, is exactly you.

USS Enterprise · Star Trek
Captain Kirk
You lead with instinct, warmth, and an absolute refusal to accept a no-win scenario — because you’ve always believed there’s a third option nobody else has thought of yet.
You take the mission seriously without ever taking yourself too seriously.
Your crew would follow you anywhere, not because you demand it, but because you’ve earned it.
Kirk’s genius isn’t tactical — it’s human. He reads people, bends rules with purpose, and wills outcomes into existence through sheer conviction.
That combination of warmth, audacity, and relentless optimism is unmistakably yours.

The Rebellion · Star Wars
Princess Leia
You are the kind of person who holds the line when everyone else is losing faith — not because you’re fearless, but because giving up simply isn’t something you’re capable of.
You lead through conviction. Your voice carries because your belief is unshakeable.
You gave up everything ordinary the moment you chose the cause, and you’ve never looked back.
Leia is not a supporting character in her own story — she is the moral centre of the entire rebellion.
That same fierce, principled, unbreakable core is what defines you.

The Nostromo · Alien
Ellen Ripley
You are not reckless, not grandiose, and not particularly interested in being anyone’s hero — you just refuse to stop when it matters.
You see threats clearly, you document the truth even when no one listens, and when the time comes you handle it yourself.
Ripley’s heroism is earned, not performed. She doesn’t have a speech — she has a flamethrower and a plan.
You share her composure under the worst possible pressure, and her refusal to pretend the monster isn’t there.
When it counts, you don’t flinch. That’s everything.

The Wasteland · Mad Max
Max Rockatansky
You have been through fire that would break most people — and what came out the other side is something the world underestimates at its peril.
You don’t ask for help, don’t need validation, and don’t wait for anyone to tell you the rules no longer apply.
Your loyalty, when it finally arrives, is absolute — but it’s earned in silence and tested in action, not in words.
Max is not a nihilist. He is someone who lost everything and found, against his will, that he still has something worth protecting.
That bruised, stubborn, ultimately human core is exactly yours.

What Is ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners’ Season 2 About?
Netflix has released the official synopsis for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 ahead of its October 20 premiere. It reads as follows: “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 presents a new standalone 10-episode story from the world of Cyberpunk 2077 — a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge. In a city that thrives in the spotlight of violence, one question remains: when the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter?” CD Projekt Red is also hard at work on a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, and while more employees are focused on The Witcher 4, the game is still deep in the development weeds, with official updates expected soon.
