A resurfaced photo of Hayden Panettiere and James Blunt together on a yacht is getting fresh attention ... following the actress's death and renewed interest in a disturbing story she shared about an alleged yacht encounter when she was 18.

The photo -- taken in France in 2009 -- shows Hayden and James together on a boat ... gathered around a table with at least 3 other people.

At the time, Hayden was a few months away from her 20th birthday ... but some folks are convinced it's the smoking gun in her story about being forced into bed with a naked British singer-songwriter. Hayden didn't name the celeb in her memoir, but the internet's convinced it's James, even though there is no evidence establishing that connection.

American actor Davis Cleveland was only 8 years old when he first played Flynn Jones -- the younger mischievous and food-obsessed younger brother of CeCe Jones -- on Disney's hit show "Shake It Up" back in 2010.

Davis was part of an ensemble cast including Bella Thorne, Zendaya, and Roshon Fegan.

Serayah is done with Joey Bada$$ ... announcing she's ended their engagement and accusing him of repeatedly cheating throughout their relationship.

The actress and singer posted a lengthy statement on social media Monday, saying she made the "difficult decision" to end things with Joey -- the father of her child.

Serayah says she loved him deeply and believed in the life they were building ... but ultimately had to face what she calls repeated infidelity, including during some of the "most vulnerable and meaningful moments" of her life -- and she didn't stop there.

James Blunt is throwing cold water on claims that he's the naked British singer Hayden Panettiere said she was forced into a bed with on a yacht when she was just 18.

James shared a Substack article on social media Monday that argues he is NOT the unnamed singer-songwriter from Hayden's memoir.

In her 2026 book, Hayden wrote she was 18 when a friend brought her onto a yacht to meet a British singer-songwriter in his 30s ... only for her to walk into a cabin and find the man naked in bed.

Hayden Panettiere was honored on the Grand Ole Opry stage over the weekend by her
"Nashville" costar ... and the emotional moment was a legit tearjerker.

Check out the video, but make sure you have some tissues nearby ... Charles "Chip" Esten sang "Somewhere in the Sunshine" as a picture of him and Hayden remained on the screen.

Chip was among dozens and dozens of celebs who shared their shock and heartbreak over the actress' sudden death in a South Carolina apartment on August 16 ... and in a strange twist, Chip was playing a show at the venue connected to the apartment complex the weekend she died.

Sydney Sweeney is taking her daredevil streak to insane new heights ... strapping herself to the top of a plane and hanging on for dear life while zooming through the sky.

Former Disney child star Raquel Lee Bolleau says landing a role in "The Poof Point" turned into a nightmare ... claiming she was raped and sexually assaulted by an adult employee when she was just 14.

In a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Raquel claims Disney failed to protect her -- and instead repeatedly put her in close contact with the man she says abused her.

She says Disney staffers told her to "bond" with the unnamed employee and spend time with him during filming in Utah in 2001 -- though her lawsuit targets Disney, not the individual staffers.

Hayden wondered whether the pain could have been connected to injuries she suffered while working as a child actor, and according to her mom, they sought help from doctors and tried massage and acupuncture in search of relief.

Madeline Zima -- one of Hayden Panettiere's co-stars on the hit show "Heroes" back in the day -- says the actress was incredibly kind ... and she's speaking out in hopes Hayden's daughter will one day know how great her mom was.

We sat down with Madeline on our "TMZ In The Know" YouTube series ... and she told us she remembers Hayden as someone who was all heart and guts.

A neighbor of Hayden Panettiere says she witnessed the late actress being taken from her West Hollywood apartment on a gurney by firefighters on two occasions during her troubled relationship with Brian Hickerson.

Mia Terrazas says she saw the incidents in July 2023 and January 2024, claiming Hayden appeared to have bruises and red marks while Brian was nearby both times, during an interview with Page Six.

The worried neighbor said she asked Hayden if she was OK during the first incident and the actress allegedly replied, "Yes." Mia told the outlet “It appeared that she had been beaten up. It wasn’t apparent to me that it could have been anything else" -- adding Hayden allegedly frequently appeared “battered.”

Hayden passed away on August 16 at the age of 36, while Chase -- best known for “The Ring” and “Lilo & Stitch” died in June at 35, and the 'Buffy' and “Gossip Girl” star Trachtenberg died at 39 in 2025.
