Hayden Panettiere Talks About Controversial Amanda Knox Movie
Actress Hayden Panettiere stars in The Amanda Knox Story, a Lifetime movie about American exchange student Amanda Knox, who was convicted of mudering Meredith Kercher by an Italian court. The family of the murder viction is opposed to the film. Lawyers for Amanda Knox are also very unhappy about the film being made.
Hayden says the film is "done in a really classy way." She also says it is very interesting to see both sides of the story. She also says what they did to Amanda Knox was "horrific." She says she feels very sympathetic to what Amanda Knox had to go through. Take a look:
On her home life: "Our house is a really happy house. There are kids running around and laughing and joking. I smile so much more than people would think."
On being comfortable in her own skin: "For the first time, I feel like what you see is what you get. This is me: the more natural hair, the slightly more relaxed way of dressing. I feel really content personally and professionally. I'm not freaked out about getting older. I'm growing older with the most amazing man I've ever met with my soul mate. Life's great."
On her diet and exercise: "I'm not one of those people who can't eat carbs. I eat a lot. I do. I run four miles a day on the treadmill. I know that works for me, so I've kind of trained myself. I do lift weights. I'm not very good at soccer."

Its been a good weekend for those involved in musical contributions for The Twilight Saga, and now we have even more great news: Alexandre Desplat, the composer for The Twilight Saga: New Moon has won the Anthony Asquith Award for Film Music award for his work on the recent film The Kings Speech! Congrats Alexandre!
If you missed it, check out our weekend coverage of The Grammys HERE in which three of our Twilight Saga soundtrack contributors took home awards.
Have any of you seen The Kings Speech? If so, do you think Alexandres composition deserves the award he took home?
The occasionally bleeped telecast averaged awhopping 26.6 million viewers, up a tick from last year, and, per CBS, the biggest Grammy audience in 10 yearsor, the last time Eminem was majorly upset in the Album of the Year category.
The show did best among the Mick Jagger- and Barbra Streisand-aged crowd; it was weakest among teen boys, who clearly didn't know their hated Bieber was going to go down to defeat.
As for the reviews, they weren't all bad.
The New Yorker, for one, decided the show washigh-praise alert!"not bad." And Vanity Fair thought the Oscars could even learn some lessons from the telecast.
Oh, we surely hope James Franco is planning to get his Gaga on.
Ever wonder where some of Lady Gaga's more wild ideas come from? (*cough cough* arriving at the Grammys in an egg)? She's no doubt naturally creative, but she gets a little help from the outside, too.
Sitting down with Anderson Cooper for a "60 Minutes" interview, Gaga admitted to a certain frequent indiscretion.
"I still smoke a lot of pot when I write music," she said. "So I'm not gonna, like, sugar coat it for '60 Minutes' that I'm some, like, sober human being, 'cause I'm not."
It's an honest admission from the artist, who so often bears her soul for the world to see. During her Grammy acceptance speech, her voice wavered as she thanked her family and friends for all the help.
Gaga opened up much more in the interview, talking about her family, career -- and what men call her in bed. And, to boot, she got her interviewer drunk.
It was quite the spectacle when Snooki and Sway took over MTV News' red-carpet coverage at last night's Grammy Awardsbut nothing was more spectacular than the moment when Snooki and Miley Cyrus became instant besties, right on camera. The "Jersey Shore" star and pop-country princess ran into each other before the show began, and what ensued was no less than a total love-fest.
Spotting Snooki during her interview with Sway, Miley broke off mid-thought to shriek, "OH MY GOD IT'S SNOOKI! You're my favorite person ever!"
Fortunately, Sway was savvy enough to step aside and make way for some epic girl-crush gushing:
Snooki: You look amazing! Miley: I love your sparkles, you're feeling the sparkles! I was talking to Pauly about how much I love you, and how my makeup artist and I are obsessed with you. Snooki: Your makeup is freaking amazing! Miley: She wants to do your makeup so bad! Snooki: What are you doing after this? Miley: We need to hang!
And there you have it: Miley Cyrus and Snooki are totally BFFs. But after another round of complimentary one-upping ("I love your dress!" "I love YOU!" "I LOVE YOU TOO!"), things get just a little awkward when Snooki asks if Miley is still planning on dressing like her for Halloween...and Miley hesitates a moment before confessing that actually, she's going to go as Fran Fine from "The Nanny" this year.
Awww. And things were going so well.
Got any predictions on the longevity of the Snooki-Miley lovefest?
Whoâs That Girl?: Eminem & Dr. Dreâs Grammy Collaborator Skylar Grey
Whos That Girl?: Eminem & Dr. Dres Grammy Collaborator Skylar Grey
LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Skylar Grey was the unsung hero of the Eminem-Rihanna-Dr. Dre collaboration at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night, singing in the shadows as the Detroit rappers performance turned from Love the Way You Lie to I Need A Doctor, but she loved every minute of it.
It was amazing, the Wisconsin-bred singer/songwriter told reporters backstage at the music awards ceremony. Ive never played on a stage that big with an audience that vast.
Still, the pretty brunette said she had no qualms about performing in front of a worldwide audience of millions on the Grammy stage alongside some of musics elite.
I wasnt that nervous, actually, she said.
Skylar actually wrote Rihannas part in Love The Way You Lie, and she hinted that her lyrics were inspired by Eminems rhymes.
It was pretty [much] what Eminem wrote his verses about, she said of the chorus. Not as extreme, but same concept.
Skylar also penned the refrain she sang in Dr. Dres I Need A Doctor, having met both Dre and Eminem through her work with Alex Da Kid. Additionally, she co-wrote Diddy Dirty Moneys current hit, Coming Home.
I wrote the chorus to Love The Way You Lie and then he asked me to come and work on Dr. Dres album too, she explained backstage.
Skylar, a newcomer to the Grammys, explained her background to reporters backstage at the event.
I was born in Wisconsin and I started performing at age 6, performing with my mom, we had a little duo and I started writing songs with lyrics around 14, Skylar recounted. By the time I was 15, I had three independent albums
[I] dropped out of high school, moved to LA when I was 17, got a record deal and they didnt really know what to do with me, she laughed.
As for her future, now that Skylars been exposed to millions, her plans remain the same.
Im working on solo material right now with Alex, she added.
Chelsea Clinton & Marc Mezvinsky: Together, Happy!
Chelsea Clinton & Marc Mezvinsky: Together, Happy!
It there's trouble in paradise, newlyweds Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky weren't showing it at amfAR's annual New York Gala at Cipriani Wall Street in NYC.
The AIDS research foundation honored Chelsea's father, former President Bill Clinton, and the notoriously private couple went out on the town for the occasion.
Here's the longtime couple at the event, looking happy as ever ...
Chelsea and Marc at the event late last week.
This followed weeks of rumors that Clintons husband of less than a year had left her after he quit his investment banking job and went to Wyoming to ski.
Recent reports claimed their marriage was over, albeit not officially, after Marc walked out on Chelsea following a blowout fight about starting a family.
Chelsea and Marc denied the rumors, and after seeing the pair together in happy, it looks like this might have been nothing more than that. Rumors.
It's very possible Marc was burned out and needed time off from work, while Chelsea was just too busy to go to Wyoming. Let's hope that's all it was!
Once again, Justin Bieber fans have taken their love of this artist to a disturbing extreme.
For the third time - first, regarding Kim Kardashian; then, in reaction to Justin's relationship with Selena Gomez - Beliebers have actually issued death threats against someone with whom they take issue.
In response to Esperanza Spalding taking home the Best New Artist Grammy last night, Bieber followers edited the singer's Wikipedia page to include such horrific entries as "JUSTIN BIEBER DESERVED IT GO DIE IN A HOLE." The page has since been scrubbed clean, but here's a look at it from last night:
Fans would do well to follow the reaction of their idol, who Tweeted after the event:
Its been & still is a dream to win a grammy. Was I upset...yes. But I was happy for her also. Someone said to me tonight its not your successes that define u but your failures. I lost..but I don't plan on this being my last chance.
It's also difficult to argue with Spalding's talent. Just listen to THIS PERFORMANCE she gave at the White House. Rather incredible, isn't she?
