Child Stars

Hayden Panettiere is clearly feeling real good about finally spilling it all in her new memoir -- ’cause the actress was all smiles during a recent airport run-in.

Check out the clip -- Hayden was rolling through LaGuardia Airport Wednesday morning with a friend when she got hit with questions about the juicy bombshells in her memoir, "This Is Me: A Reckoning."

The actress was asked point-blank about the mystery pal “Stella” she claims pushed her into bed with a shirtless male celeb on a yacht ... and also about her wild confession involving shrooms while filming "Scream 4."

But Hayden mostly kept quiet through it all -- no big reveals, no denials ... just one very telling grin plastered across her face the entire time.

Hayden Panettiere is revealing just how terrifying her postpartum depression battle became -- admitting she spiraled so badly she needed alcohol the second she woke up just to function.

In "This Is Me: A Reckoning," Hayden detailed her traumatic C-section that left her with a uterine infection and seven blood transfusions, before emotionally struggling to bond with daughter Kaya in the weeks after.

The actress says hearing another mom admit she also struggled to connect with her child gave her a euphoric sense of relief -- one she became desperate to recreate through drinking.

Hayden Panettiere is diving deeper into one seriously dark Hollywood moment from her past -- involving her claim an industry friend basically delivered her to a naked male singer on a yacht when she was just 18 -- and she's naming names!

In her memoir, "This Is Me: A Reckoning," Hayden says the woman -- identified as Stella McAmis -- told her to trust her while leading her downstairs to meet the famous British singer, who was allegedly lounging naked in bed waiting for her.

Hayden says the whole thing was horrifying ... recalling the singer shirtless in bed, propped up on pillows with his arms behind his head, while she could clearly see the outline of his body under the sheets -- all while Stella hyped up his "huge d***."

Hayden Panettiere’s memoir isn’t all trauma and family drama -- 'cause she also shared one chaotic Hollywood memory involving 'shrooms, "Scream 4," and David Arquette making a very questionable movie-night choice.

The actress said the whole thing went down back in 2010 while shooting the movie when she, her bestie Allie, and a bunch of twenty-something crew members went glamping at a property rented out by Neve Campbell. That’s where she tried mushrooms for the very first time.

Hayden admitted she had no clue what to expect going into it -- but felt safe doing it around close friends she trusted to keep the weekend stress-free.

Hayden Panettiere says an Oscar-winning actor and director showed her his testicles, without consent, when she was just a teenager.

The actress has opened up about a ton of stomach-churning stories in her new memoir "This Is Me: A Reckoning" about the abuse she suffered while coming of age in Hollywood ... and she's now relaying a tale about a party she attended when she was 19.

Panettiere says she was leaving a gathering -- having grown uncomfortable while chatting with a group of men near the end of the night -- when a "well-respected" Oscar winner approached her as she was putting on a coat and complained about the gum stuck to his pants.

Hayden Panettiere’s peeling back even more layers of her messy family drama -- revealing the shocking moment her former costar Milo Ventimiglia told her her dad had been arrested for allegedly abusing her mom.

In her memoir, "This Is Me: A Reckoning," Hayden recalled Milo -- who she dated from 2007 to 2009 -- coming to her "Heroes" trailer with devastating news ... letting her know that her dad, Alan Panettiere, was sitting in jail after an incident involving her mother, Lesley Vogel.

Hayden says her heart started pounding so hard she thought it might burst through her ribs ... with her mind spiraling into a million questions -- like who called the cops and whether the whole thing had somehow been a misunderstanding.

Hayden Panettiere is pulling back the curtain on some of the darkest chapters of her life ... including nearly dying during childbirth and battling postpartum depression after welcoming daughter Kaya with former fiancé Wladimir Klitschko.

The actress sat down Monday with CBS News' Gayle King to promote her new memoir, "This Is Me: A Reckoning" ... and spoke candidly about how what should've been one of the happiest times in her life spiraled into something far more painful.

Check out the clip ... Hayden says she had a "wonderful pregnancy" while dating Wladimir ... but things took a terrifying turn during delivery: "I had a really rough birth to the point where I almost didn't make it through."

Jamie Lynn Spears' daughter is officially a high school grad, and a bunch of family showed up to support her ... including JL's famous nephew, Sean Preston Federline, and the family's patriach, Jamie Spears.

Spears' eldest, Maddie Aldridge-Watson, walked across the stage in Hammond, Louisana to collect her diploma on Friday ... flashing a huge grin as the crowd cheered for her.

The moment had Jamie looking emotional -- her little girl's all grown up -- and taking a ton of pics, like every other parent in attendance, we imagine.

Kate Lohan isn’t just battling assault charges ... she’s now facing the reality of not having a place to live.

Lindsay Lohan's stepmother appeared in court Thursday for arraignment after she was arrested for allegedly attacking ex Michael Lohan ... and her attorney painted a bleak picture of what comes next.

According to her lawyer, Kate may be forced to stay in a shelter or hotel ... since a protective order bars her from contacting Michael -- the father of her two kids -- effectively cutting off her current living situation.

And it gets worse financially … her lawyer told the court Kate is currently unemployed, scraping by as an online brand ambassador -- but not making any money right now. She asked the judge to declare her indigent.

Bryan Cranston dug up some holes ... and buried Shia LaBeouf in the process.

The brutal moment happened during his Esquire sit-down with 'Malcolm in the Middle' costar Frankie Muniz ... when Muniz got candid about a major career fork in the road. He revealed he was locked in to star in “Holes” before “Agent Cody Banks” got the green light -- forcing him to choose.

“I immediately picked Agent Cody Banks,” Muniz said … admitting people around him were pushing him toward “Holes” because it was “a little more dramatic.”
