![Hayden Panettiere arrives at her younger brother Jansen's celebration of life event in their hometown of Palisades, New York, with her on/off boyfriend Brian Hickerson. The grieving actress wore a colorful bomber jacket and black pants as she attended the memorial at the scenic Palisades Presbyterian Church alongside her mother Lesley Vogel and father Alan ‘Skip’ Panettiere, on Wednesday morning. Jansen’s girlfriend Cat Michie, who has posted a heartfelt tribute to him on social media, was also seen at the venue. ‘Scream, 6’ star Hayden, 33, was expected to speak at the event, which was being held in remembrance of the 28-year-old former child actor, who died last month due to an enlarged heart. A friend of the former actor told officials he'd checked on Jansen at home after he'd failed to show up for a business meeting. Upon arrival, he was found sitting upright in a chair unresponsive. Jansen's dad, Skip, had spoken to his son on the phone just the night before, and thought he "sounded okay." On Wednesday, friends and family came together at the small church which is just a few miles away from Jansen's apartment in Nyack where he was found dead. 08 Mar 2023 Pictured: Brian Hickerson, Hayden Panettiere.

When Hayden Panettiere, 27, showed up on the Late Late Show, she and James Corden, 38, got to talking about the upcoming fight between her hunky boxer husband, Wladimir Klitschko, 40, and James’ hunky boxer friend, Anthony Joshua, 27 — a match that is sure to be an awkward one. Well, just for the late night host, Hayden teased, implying that her hubby will knock out Anthony.
Hayden went on to explain that they will fight will fight each other with “underlying respect” and then compared the experience to how she and former Nashville co-star Connie Britton, 49, had to act out hard scenes together on the show.

“Well, you got a job,” Hayden said. “It’s like doing a scene with somebody who you have to yell at and get angry at and you’re doing your job. It was like the first scene I ever did with Connie Britton. I had to come in, I apologized to her first before we even did the scene. I said, ‘I am so sorry for this.’ I had to come in and be this little diva like –, ” Hayden said, snapping her fingers around.
