Hayden Panettiere’s new book has been a heart-wrenching look into her life as a child star, who literally started acting at age 4. By all accounts, her mother was a stereotypical Stage Mom, and Hayden never stood a chance when the inevitable pitfalls came calling. However, while her book has been candid about gross male stars and an unsupportive team on Nashville, she has nothing but love for Connie Britton. In fact, she mostly feels awful about her character taking shine away from the beloved TV actor. - (EW)

In February, the response from women around the world to a harrowing news story about a murder in Austria prompted carmelpie to find Robert Barr’s 1893 short story, An Alpine Divorce. “The story is not what I expected, but it is the blackest of black humor take on a marriage gone bad.” What fictional stories about marriage make the case for keeping divorce legal and accessible to all?
