Hayden Panettiere: Workout Woman in Brentwood

Hayden Panettiere leaves the gym with a guy pal on Tuesday (June 26) in Brentwood, Calif.

The 22-year-old actress will be hitting the small screen when her ABC show, Nashville, premieres this fall.

THR got a preview of the series, which uses original country songs while telling the story about a fading superstar who’s forced to team up with a teen sensation.

“It’s a family drama at its heart,” the mag notes, adding that Hayden “plays the b—-.”

“But her young ‘it’ singer does have a major redeeming quality that provides insight into her less than perfect behavior that makes her character sympathetic in a way that viewers didn’t quite get to see from Smash‘s manipulative Ellis,” writes THR.
