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.

Tyrese and his ex-wife, Norma Mitchell, have a nasty history ... but they decide to play it civil for their daughter Shayla's recent high school graduation.

The trio posed for a picture outside the famed Nobu in Malibu ... Tyrese writing in the caption that he could not be more proud of his first born -- who already landed a full-ride scholarship to an undisclosed college.

The message from the proud papa was lengthy and sweet ... but it was also nice for fans to see the trio together -- and getting along.

As you know ... the couple had a lot of bad blood after they divorced in 2009 ... and that included an ugly custody fight. It also got nasty again in 2024 ... when Norma sued Tyrese for defamation after he took to Twitter to air some grievances that she felt went way too far.

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.

Jenny Slatten is facing a heartbreaking health battle ... the "90 Day Fiancé" star has revealed she's been diagnosed with ALS after months of frightening symptoms and growing concern from fans.

Jenny and her husband, Sumit Singh, opened up about the diagnosis in a new interview ... saying the first red flags popped up back in late 2024 when she suddenly started choking while drinking water and struggled to swallow pills.

The couple -- who lives in India -- says things got even scarier when Jenny's speech noticeably slowed ... to the point fans watching a holiday interview last year started speculating something serious was wrong ... with rumors swirling that she'd suffered a stroke.

Hayden Panettiere is finally firing back after her estranged mom, Lesley Vogel, absolutely ripped her new memoir to shreds -- and honestly, you can see the heartbreak written all over her face!

In a new interview, the actress admitted she’d always kept the door slightly open for a reconciliation with her mom, hoping one day they’d repair things ... but says instead, her mother slammed that door pretty hard in her face.

Hayden claims that her mom unapologetically put herself first -- something she says sadly doesn’t surprise her anymore -- saying to ET she can’t fully understand how Lesley lives with some of the things she’s allegedly said and done over the years.

This feud is deep. Lesley absolutely unloaded on Hayden’s memoir, "This Is Me: A Reckoning," accusing her daughter of putting her through two decades of trauma for what she claims is basically a money grab.

Mindy Kaling is finally addressing those longtime rumors she’s secretly dating B. J. Novak -- admitting that while she understands how it looks, they are not together!

The actress opened up about her super-close bond with her former "The Office" costar and ex-boyfriend, revealing BJ is basically family at this point ... especially with her three kids, who adore their godfather.

Addressing the internet’s obsession with whether BJ secretly fathered her children -- the 46-year-old says she totally understands why people think that ... and if she were looking at their relationship from the outside, she’d probably have the same questions too.

Latto's been documenting her "Big Mama" journey both in the studio and IRL ... and it seems her man 21 Savage has been by her side the whole time.

On Monday, the rapper shared a sweet montage of her entire pregnancy journey, including a clip from an ultrasound appointment.

While she films her belly, you can see a tattooed arm -- with ink that matches 21 Savage's -- moving the ultrasound probe across her stomach.

Anna Kepner should’ve been walking across the stage with her classmates this weekend ... instead, her grieving father accepted her diploma through tears as the crowd rose to its feet.

Christopher Kepner attended Temple Christian School’s commencement ceremony in Titusville, Florida ... six months after Anna was killed aboard a Carnival cruise ship.

Watch the video, obtained by "Good Morning America," that shows him wiping away tears as he walked onstage to collect Anna’s diploma following a standing ovation from the packed auditorium.

The heartbreaking moment became a tribute to Anna throughout the night ... with Christopher, his wife Shauntel and other relatives wearing blue butterflies -- Anna's favorite -- while Shauntel also created a senior table covered in photos of Anna and her friends over the years.

Huge congrats are in order for CNN anchor Abby Phillip -- she’s expecting baby No. 2 with husband Marcus Richardson!

Phillip says they're preparing to welcome a baby boy later this year ... while also opening up about the emotional journey behind expanding their family ... explaining they were able to conceive this time through IVF.

Despite the physically and emotionally demanding process, Abby told PEOPLE they’re feeling incredibly grateful things worked out in what she called "God’s perfect timing" ... while also keeping hope in her heart for families still navigating similar fertility journeys.

Erica Campbell renewed her wedding vows with her husband, Warryn, over the weekend, but the timing is ... unfortunate, considering what her sister is going through.

Erica and Warryn re-committed to each other during a ceremony at California Worship Center in San Fernando, California on Saturday ... while Tina Campbell navigates her divorce from her husband, Glendon.

The vow renewal was how Erica and Warryn chose to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary ... so she probably wasn't trying to throw her marriage in her sister's face.

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.

Two young girls in Iowa were found dead in a creek after they were reported missing last week. Multiple local outlets report the girls drowned in White Breast Creek, about an hour southeast of Des Moines.

They were identified as sisters Hadley and Latyn Mathes, according to Creston News Advertiser.

Drake dropped three albums earlier Friday morning ... and it seems not everything he's rapping about is current -- because his dad says he doesn't have cancer anymore.

Eric Swalwell and his wife Brittany Watts are reportedly living separately in the fallout from the sexual misconduct allegations that derailed the former congressman's political career.

Sources close to the couple told PEOPLE ... Brittany was completely blindsided by the accusations against Swalwell and had "no way" of knowing about the alleged behavior before it exploded publicly last month.

Brittany is now allegedly staying apart from Eric with their three children while trying to keep life as stable and private as possible for the kids. She was also recently spotted without her wedding ring.

Hayden Panettiere's estranged mom has some harsh judgment about her daughter's upcoming memoir ... accusing the actress of giving her "20 years of trauma" -- and suggesting the whole thing's more about selling books than healing wounds.

Lesley Vogel unloaded over Hayden's tell-all, "This Is Me: A Reckoning," saying, "There is a personality 'style' which manifests as a need for control, entitlement and a lack of empathy. The major fear is that someone will see through the mask they present to the world and discover who they truthfully are."

Lesley told Page Six there’s no fixing the "condition" she was referring to ... claiming years of support and encouragement "will never be enough," and eventually she had no choice but to go no-contact.
