Actress Hayden Panettiere has spent the past month sleeping on a futon in the attic of her friends' house in Tennessee because she was unsure if her TV show Nashville would be renewed for a second season.

The Heroes star relocated to the southern state last year (12) to film the U.S. drama series, in which she portrays a villainous country singer, and she rented a condominium in the same building as Grammy winner Taylor Swift.

However, she decided not to renew her lease to the apartment when it expired earlier this year (13) and instead move in with pals - as she had no idea if she would ...

"Unfortunately, the older business models are irrelevant."

In every field and industry, those are words you don’t want to hear. Will your audience or customer grow old along with you? Can it really be over just when you’re hitting your creative stride?

That’s the new reality country music star Rayna Jaymes (Connie Britton) faces in the pilot of “Nashville.” Rayna’s audience are turning away, preferring up and coming, glamorous Juliette Barnes’ (Hayden Panettiere) glitzy, auto-tuned repertoire. Despite having 20 solid years of hits and sold out audiences, her latest album is tanking, and...

ABC’s new drama Nashville stars Connie Britton as a country music star and Hayden Panettiere as the next big thing. Already the country music community thinks they know who this is really about: Reba McEntire and Taylor Swift?

“I ran into Reba McEntire on a plane,” Britton said when she spoke to the Television Critics Association this summer. “And she said, ‘Did you hear that they're saying that you're playing me in your show?’ And I said, ‘No. I had no idea.’ For me, at least, it's sort of an amalgam of a lot of different people, but I'm also I think it's really fun to take from that so...

The series centers on music legend Rayna Jaymes, who reigns as the Queen of Country. However, after 20 years on top, her grip on the throne is slipping. Rayna refuses to be steamrolled by her record label as they present a new arrangement. And in the face of an evolving industry, Rayna is struggling to adapt and reinvent herself, ...

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. For many, that expression harkens up memories of a classic Christmas carol blaring though tinny mall speakers as you fight the crowds for the last three gifts on your lists. However, for this television blogger, Hollywood's newest crop of shows are all the presents I need. Judging strictly by the glittery wrapping that is their promos, here are my choices for this season’s can’t-miss new shows...

Hayden Panettiere is back in the spotlight, and we're jazzed about it. The actress showed up to a VIP cocktail party to celebrate ABC's New York upfronts in New York City yesterday.
