Hayden Panettiere covers the new issue of Glamour Magazine, and the 23-year-old Nashville honey chats with the mag about how she's handled her fame over the years and how her hit ABC show has given her another shot in the music industry.

On staying grounded despite growing up in what she calls “the Messy Generation” in Hollywood, Hayden says, “It’s not that I didn’t go to clubs, have my picture taken. I was 16 years old. I was experimenting just like any kid. But I had friends and family around me to yank me back when I was heading in the wrong direction. Every turn that I made, somebody was waiting for me to fall on my face and catch it on film. The thing that really saved me was that I still had that healthy fear of my parents—I still had a midnight curfew at 18!”

When asked about her role as country pop tart Juliette Barnes on Nashville, Hayden says, “I don’t look at it as a second chance; I look at it as where I’m supposed to be. Even if I’m not perfect at it, even if my voice takes work, this is where my heart is. People used to ask me, ‘What kind of music do you like?’ I’d say, ‘Country.’ Then they’d go, ‘But you’re from New York.’ I thought people would think I was trying to be something I’m not. But the industry of country music is unbelievably accepting. The fans are unreal. There’s no judgment; it’s just, Let’s all get together in a massive backyard and have a barbecue and drink and have fun.”

Michael Jackson's wrongful death trial kicks off today, and his mother Katherine (along with his three children, Paris, Prince and Blanket) are seeking $40 billion in damages from AEG Live.

The Jacksons claim the company negligently hired and supervised Dr. Conrad Murray, who they blame for the king of pop's lethal Propofol overdose. The Jacksons plan to argue that AEG Live had a responsibility to monitor Murray, but there is quite a bit of evidence indicating that the pop star had a problem with drugs long before Murray came along. TMZ reports that Jackson had at least 19 aliases to get prescription drugs from different doctors, and he would even shop around for medical professionals who would administer Propofol.

"I don’t know how you can’t look to Mr. Jackson’s responsibility there," AEG lawyer Marvin Putnam said. “He was a grown man.” Putnam was interviewed for the CNN documentary Michael Jackson: The Final Days, which premieres at 10pm Friday. "Mr. Jackson is a person who was known to doctor shop,” Putnam added. “He was known to be someone who would tell one doctor one thing and another doctor something else."

Heidi Klum, her four children and bodyguard/beau Martin Kristen were snapped touching down at Los Angeles International Airport last night, and after a drowning scare during their Hawaii vacation, we're guessing they're happy to be back on their home turf!

Heidi's 7-year-old son Henry and two nannies were swept away in a large riptide while playing in the ocean, and the supermodel and Martin had to dive in to rescue the three. "We got pulled into the ocean by a big wave. Of course, as a mother, I was very scared for my child and everyone else in the water," Heidi told Us Weekly. "Henry is a strong swimmer and was able to swim back to land. We were able to get everyone out safely."

Glad everyone's ok!

We hope she's not actually expecting!

Lindsay Lohan caused quite the stir late last night when she tweeted she had a bun in the oven!

"It's official. Pregnant..." the troubled actress posted to her account.

Although we are almost positive it was an April Fool's Day joke, there is always the possibility she's telling the truth. After all, Lilo did just start dating City of the Sun musician Avi Snow, so...

How unfortunate if she was pregnant and facing time in the slammer!

Angelina Jolie has opened an all-girls in the Kabul section of Afghanistan, according to E! News.

The 37-year-old Oscar winner/UNHCR Goodwill ambassador reportedly picked the region due to its high refugee population, and because it is an area that normally favors male education over female education. The school is already open and educating between 200 and 300 girls, and Angelina said in a statement that she plans on opening more schools using the proceeds from her soon-to-be-released Style of Jolie jewelry line.

“Beyond enjoying the artistic satisfaction of designing these jewels, we are inspired by knowing our work is also serving the mutual goal of providing for children in need,” Angelina said.

Jolie's jewelry line, which she co-designs with Robert Procop, will go on sale this week, and 100% of the earnings will be donated to her new initiative, The Education Partnership for Children of Conflict.

These two really don't like having their picture taken!

Halle Berry and fiance Olivier Martinez arrived back home from Hawaii last night with daughter Nahla, and the couple got visibly angry trying to protect the little girl as they made their way to the car!

After the French actor attempted to kick a photographer, his Oscar winning fiancee shouted, "Olivier! NO!" and shoved him into the vehicle.

We bet she was worried he would beat the guy to a pulp, just like he did in his brawl with Nahla's dad Gabriel Aubry!

John Mayer appears on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today, and the newly single musician briefly opens up about his split from Katy Perry before moving on to chat about his upcoming tour.

When asked whether he was no longer with Katy, John replied, "Correct," and added, "Listen, it was a very private relationship going in. It was a private relationship during and it’s a private relationship, still. I can understand asking the question based on some previous answers I have given but I have finally learned how to put the wall between one thing and the other. I’ve been much happier since then. I’m on the same journey as everyone else. Coupling is a tricky thing ... I want everyone to be happy."

John also gives his first television performance in three years of his single “Something like Olivia” from his new CD Born and Raised, and he also surprised the audience with a pair of tickets to his concert at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine this summer ... check out the clip below!

Does he ever stop working?

Tom Cruise attended the film premiere of his new movie Oblivion in Moscow yesterday, and even though his co-star Olga Kurylenko towered over him, the A-list actor looked every inch the leading man as he waved to fans and signed autographs on the red carpet.

The cast of the movie has really been globetrotting to promote the thriller these days! Before Russia, the whole team was in Rio De Janeiro.

The film, set in 2073, finds the action star playing a Marine Commander who is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth, which was nearly destroyed sixty years prior by an alien invasion.

Only Tommy can make movies like this!
