Heroes Star Hayden Panettiere Launches Music Career

Hayden Panettiere, star of the television drama series Heroes, is to launch a music career.



The actress will release her debut single 'Wake Up Call' via digital-download this August, with an album expected in the opening months of 2009.



'Wake Up Call'  was written by Andreas Rombhane and has been described as a “reggae-flavoured pop song”.



Rombhane, one of pop music's most established songwriters, has written songs for Geri Halliwell, Westlife and Diana Ross.



Panettiere's transition into music follows hot on the heels of Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson, who released her debut album earlier this year.



In Heroes, Panettiere plays cheerleader Claire Bennett, who boasts the ability to rapidly self-heel.

Last month, Gigwise unveiled a gallery of actors who have moved into music. CLICK HERE to see who starred in the leading role.

Movie Reviews: The Happening

M. Night Shyamalan, the writer-director famous for ending his films with surprising twists has returned to the screen with The Happening.But those expecting to see his signature ending will likely be disappointed. As Elizabeth Weitzman writes in the New York Daily News."The big twist is that ... there's no twist at all. None. Zip. Nada." Several critics express disappointment that Shyamalan, after a series of blunders, has not made the kind of comeback they were hoping for. Claudia Puig in USA Today concludes her review by remarking, "Shyamalan's work has been deteriorating since the stir he caused in 1999 with The Sixth Sense. ... His last couple of movies --The Village and Lady in the Water -- have been particular disappointments, and The Happening continues the trend." Kyle Smith in the New York Post gives mostly two-word reviews for all of Shyamalan's movies since The Sixth Sense: "Stupid ending, stupid ending, stupid ending and, in a change of pace with his last film, Lady in the Water, stupid all the way through." Carina Chocano in the Los Angeles Times says that not all the blame should be laid at Shyamalan's feet. Costar Mark Wahlberg, she writes, gives "one of the worst performances of his career." But Manohla Dargis in the New York Times comments that the critics' knives were sharpened for Shyamalan even before the movie was screened for them. As for herself, she considers the film, "a divertingly goofy thriller with an animistic bent, moments of shivery and twitchy suspense and a solid lead performance from Mark Wahlberg." Likewise Glenn Whipp concludes in the Los Angeles Daily News that The Happening is "creepy, silly fun. And if it came from anyone else, it would be recognized as such. One thing is certain: The man hasn't lost his ability to entertain."

Fan pays €25,500 for Johansson date

A bidder on auction website eBay has paid $40,100 (€25,500) for a date with Scarlett Johansson.
The actress auctioned off a chance to be her guest at the premiere of her new film, 'He's Just Not That Into You', in aid of Oxfam.
Bidding for the date began at less than $1, but climbed to over $40,000 in just 10 days.
The winner, who is from the UK, will be brought to the event in a chauffeur-driven limousine to join the star on the red carpet. He or she can also bring a guest with them. After the screening, Johansson will hand her date a personal handwritten note.
However, it is unlikely any further romance will develop as the 23-year-old star is currently dating actor Ryan Reynolds.
