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.

Mystery Jets plan a murder at The Great Escape
Mystery Jets played a hugely energetic show last night (May 17) at the Honeyclub in Brighton at 9:15pm (BST). The gig was part of The Great Escape festival.
Fans packed out the venue to see the band, who turned the gig into an indie party, with the biggest dance moves and cheers saved for their hit 'Two Doors Down'. However, lighting problems caused the band to sarcastically request that the lighting man for the venue be killed.
The band came onstage to the sound of the menacing sirens of 'Hideaway', frontman Blaine Harrison asking the crowd, "Have you been enjoying The Great Escape? Good!"
After playing 'Half In Love With Elizabeth' the band politely asked whether the lighting in the venue could be sorted out. "Can someone please turn the lights on?", Harrison pleaded. "It's rather dark in here and we can�t see all these lovely people."
After playing 'Diamonds In The Dark', which got the crowd jumping excitedly, the band were still not impressed with the lighting on stage. Harrison made a further complaint: "OK, can someone please kill the lighting guy? Or maybe it�s a robot, in which case it would be much appreciated if someone fondled the robot."
Despite their complaints the band were in a good spirits. After playing the aforementioned 'Diamonds In The Dark' Harrison joked, "Did you like that song more than the first one then? No? Get out!" Then a woozy rendition of 'Flakes' led to the first crowd singalong of the night,
Despite playing live just down the road at the Sallis Benney Theatre an hour later than the Mystery Jets show, Laura Marling, who appears on the song on record, did not join the band onstage for 'Young Love'. The crowd were left ecstatic by the song's performance nonetheless.
Towards the end of the set, Mystery Jets invited the crowd to join them on a night out after the show. "We�re going down to Concorde 2 after this if anyone fancies joining us?" said Harrison. "We'll put every single person in this room on the guestlist. That's a joke, actually."
The frontman then asked the crowd for requests. The crowd almost unanimously shouted for latest single 'Two Doors Down'. The band obliged, leading to loud cheers and yet another singalong.
