- Hayden Panettiere tells EW that she still carries around lessons Wes Craven taught her on the *Scream 4 *set.

- Panettiere recalls "memories of the timing of things" — how Craven would slow the action down to "a snail's pace," but "after he put it together and edited everything, he was so right."

- She also says that the late horror auteur "set an amazing example for how I would like to be as a director, as anybody on set."**

Hayden Panettiere takes a little piece of her *Scream 4 *director, Wes Craven, with her everywhere she goes.

"I love the fact that I got to work with Wes Craven. He is amazing," Panettiere tells ** in an interview conducted in September. "I'm so sad that he left us far before his time. But he had an incredible impact on my life and on me as an actor, which I now utilize when I go into other projects."

Panettiere made her entrée into Craven's cinematic meta-slasher universe in 2011, over a decade after the release of the last entry in the franchise that the horror maven kicked off in 1996. She would return in the flesh for 2023's *Scream 6*, after providing a voice cameo to the previous year's fifth franchise entry, simply titled *Scream*. Craven died in 2015, but Panettiere says his memory endures in everything she does, thanks to the impact of some sage advice.

When asked about the biggest pearl of wisdom Craven passed along, Panettiere recalls "memories of the timing of things. So, when you're sitting, he would be like, 'This is going to feel very slow. It's gonna feel like you're moving in slow motion, but when you put the music in and you edit it together, you have to build up that anticipation and you have to hit it right on the nail on the head. You can't be a moment over. You gotta be right on the nose.'"

The director behind not only the *Scream *films but the *Nightmare on Elm Street *franchise would tell Panettiere to "'Move slow, or move slower,' and I would be like, 'Geez, this feels like I'm moving at the pace of a snail.' But watching it afterwards," she remembers, "after he put it together and edited everything, he was so right."

Panettiere speaks of Craven with the highest esteem. "He was so spectacular. I mean, he taught me also how to be on set. I would love to direct at some point in my life, and he was such a fabulous — his spirit, the person that he was, how kind he was. He really was an amazing example. He set an amazing example for how I would like to be as a director, as anybody on set, but as a director if I hopefully direct in the future," she says, adding with a mischievous smirk, "You don't have to be an ass!"****

'Scream 7' first look: Neve Campbell and Sidney's daughter team up against Ghostface

Panettiere's career began in childhood; her first role, in the 1998 Jennifer Aniston-led romantic comedy *The Object of My Affection*, came when she was just 9 years old. Despite being only 36, she has nearly three decades of acting experience to her name, and in that time, has landed numerous memorable parts, from the indestructible cheerleader Claire Bennet on *Heroes*, to the rebellious country star Juliette Barnes on *Nashville*.

Still, *Scream*'s tough and snarky Kirby Reed holds a special place in her heart.

"I love that character. She is so powerful, and she is such a tomboy," she says. "I felt like I got to take the parts of me that people didn't know existed and put them into her. Like, I am that edgy tomboy who sticks to her guns."

To Panettiere, "you can't really define" Kirby, who plays a major role in saving the day in *Scream 6*. "You can't put your finger on on her. She loves guys, she loves girls, she loves the world that she lives in. She is sassy. And I got to bring all of those parts of me that I felt like I had to hide for years, I think, out in her, because I was so terrified that I was going to offend somebody."**

*Scream 7 *is just around the corner, though Panettiere's participation hasn't yet been confirmed.

Last month gave fans their first look at franchise star Neve Campbell's return to the series after she sat *Scream 6 *out amid a contractural dispute. In the official synopsis released by studio Paramount Pictures, the latest entry sees "a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town where Sidney Prescott has built a new life. Her darkest fears are realized as her daughter becomes the next target. Determined to protect her family, Sidney must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all."

- Disney has canceled a Hong Kong premiere of *Zootopia 2* amid deadly apartment fires.

- Hong Kong Disneyland was set to host a gala presentation of the new animated film.

- The theme park also canceled its nightly fireworks show "out of respect" for the tragedy.

As the death toll rises from a massive high-rise fire in Hong Kong, Disney has canceled its *Zootopia 2 *premiere — and other Hong Kong Disneyland theme park events — "out of respect" for the tragedy that has so far killed nearly 100 people, the company has announced.**

"Due to a serious incident that occurred in Hong Kong, the scheduled appearance of Joey Yung at the 'Friendtastic!' parade, Disney's *Zootopia 2* Selected Magic Access Members Special Screening at Hong Kong Disneyland, and the evening Gala Premiere at Hong Kong Disneyland on Nov. 27, 2025 (Thursday) have been canceled," the park wrote Wednesday on Instagram, announcing the cancellation of a special appearance by Yung, the actress who voices Ginnifer Goodwin's Judy Hopps in the Cantonese dub of Disney's animated sequel.

The park confirmed that "follow-up arrangements" for the* Zootopia 2* screening would be announced soon, adding that, "We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding during this time."**

Hong Kong Disneyland then shared another update on a separate theme park event in a follow-up Instagram Story post.

"Due to an incident in Hong Kong and out of respect, tonight's *Momentous: Party in the Night Sky* will be canceled. Thank you for your understanding," the park wrote, referencing the destination's nightly fireworks spectacular. "Guests who entered the park today with a valid ticket may use the original ticket for revisit on another day within six months from the day of entry."

At press time, the death toll from the Wang Fuk Court complex fires stood at 83, per the Associated Press, which also described the complex as "a dense cluster of buildings housing thousands of people in Tai Po district," a suburb of Hong Kong that closely borders China to the north.

"Our firefighting operation is almost complete," said Derek Armstrong Chan, deputy director of Fire Services Operations, in a statement to the AP. He added that firefighters worked hard "to prevent the debris and embers from flaring up" and that "what's next is the search and rescue operation" to recover those who've died or remain trapped.

Nearly 300 people are reportedly still missing amid the blaze, which sent smoke billowing across the Hong Kong skyline throughout the evening, with crew reportedly battling the blaze throughout most of Wednesday and into the night.

Eileen Chung, a senior superintendent of police, said in a statement to an AP reporter that three people have so far been arrested in connection to the fire, and who were "grossly negligent," Chung alleged.

It's almost time for curtains for Kristin Chenoweth's new Broadway musical, *The Queen of Versailles.*

On Monday, it was announced that her new show — which opened just three weeks ago — will close on Jan. 4, and she shared a heartfelt video on Wednesday reacting to the abrupt ending.

"I know some of you may have heard that the *Queen of Versailles* on Broadway is closing," Chenoweth said in an Instagram video filmed in her dressing room during an intermission of her show. "I just want to say that I'm so proud of this new art that we've created, and it's getting harder and harder to do."

The Tony winner went on to point out how difficult it has been the past few years for Broadway shows.

"I think about all the shows in the past couple of seasons that have come and gone, that not everybody got to see," she said. "I just love Broadway so much, and I love audiences and a live art form."

Chenoweth then thanked anyone who has seen *Queen of Versailles* at the St. James Theatre so far, and invited everyone to purchase tickets to see the show before it closes on Jan. 4.

"We'd love to see you here," she added, before encouraging people to go and see any show on Broadway right now to support the arts. "Because Broadway is the best. You have a live performance art form, and there's nothing better than to look out and share an experience with an audience."

Watch her video below:

*The Queen of Versailles* is based on Lauren Greenfield's 2012 documentary of the same name about billionaires Jackie and David Siegel trying to build a mansion in Florida inspired by the Palace of Versailles amid the 2008 financial crisis, which negatively impacted their assets and lifestyle.

Chenoweth stars in the musical with F. Murray Abraham, with music and lyrics by Oscar-winner Stephen Schwartz (featuring the first time Chenoweth and Schwartz worked together on Broadway since the original run of *Wicked*). The book comes from Lindsey Ferrentino, and it is directed by Tony-winner Michael Arden.

The musical opened Nov. 9 to negative reviews, with **'s Dalton Ross writing in a review that "the songs are just one of many problems plaguing an identity crisis of a show that doesn't quite seem to know what it wants to be." The show has grossed over $6 million so far after costing an estimated $22.5 million to launch, and was expected to run for much longer since ticketing websites had performances listed through March 29.

Chenoweth's video was cut short when a voice on the loudspeaker announced a five-minute warning to take her place for the top of Act 2 — because the show must go on, even with the end looming.**

WNBA, Players Association agree to six-week CBA extension

The WNBA and its players' union extended their collective bargaining agreement for a second time, with the deadline to reach a settlement pushed back by six weeks.

Both sides had until 11:59 ET on Sunday, Nov. 30 to reach a deal, or the collective bargaining agreement would have expired.

"The WNBA and WNBPA have agreed to extend the current collective bargaining agreement through January 9, 2026, with either party having the option to terminate the extension with 48 hours' advance notice. The WNBA and WNBPA are continuing to work toward a new agreement," the league said in a statement.

The original expiration of the league's CBA was Oct. 31, and the league quickly realized that no agreement would be reached by that date; thus, the first extension was put into place.

Had a lockout occurred, no league business would have commenced, including the expansion draft, which hasn't been set, as two new teams, the Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo, launch their inaugural seasons in 2026.

A'ja Wilson #22 of the Las Vegas Aces celebrates with Chelsea Gray #12 and Jewell Loyd #24 after winning Game Four of the 2025 WNBA Playoffs finals at Mortgage Matchup Center on October 10, 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona. The Las Vegas Aces defeat the Phoenix Mercury 97-86 to win the championship.

The league presented a formal proposal last week, stating that max salaries would exceed $1 million and that the minimum salary would be around $220,000. The WNBA salary cap was $1.5 million, and players have been vocal about wanting a bigger piece of the pie, especially since the league's new 11-year media rights deal, valued at approximately $2.2 billion, begins in 2026.

Last season, the minimum salary was $66,079, while the supermax was worth $249,244. Only five WNBA players made more than $225,000 last season. (Kelsey Mitchell, $269,244; Arike Ogunbowale $249,032; Jewell Loyd, $249,032; Kahleah Copper, $248,134; and Gabby Williams, $225,000)

League MVP A'ja Wilson made $200,000 in base salary in 2025.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Luka Doncic scored 20 of his 34 points in the first quarter and the Los Angeles Lakers raced to their seventh straight victory, 133-121 over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday night.

Doncic also had 12 rebounds and seven assists to help the Lakers win for the 13th time in 15 games. Austin Reaves added 33 points and eight assists, Deandre Ayton had 22 points and 12 rebounds and Rui Hachimura scored 14 points.

LeBron James sau out to rest a sore left foot. He made his season debut Nov. 18 and played in four games after recovering from sciatica.

Saddiq Bey had 22 points and 11 rebounds, and Bryce McGowens added 23 points for the Pelicans. They have lost 11 of 12.

New Orleans was short-handed with Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Trey Murphy III (elbow) watching from the bench.

The Lakers dominated the first half, leading 46-27 after one quarter and 77-57 at the half. It was the most points the Lakers had scored in any quarter this season and tied for the fifth most in an opening quarter in franchise history. The 77 first-half points matched the Lakers' most in a half this season.

The Pelicans found their offense in the third quarter, shooting 62.5% from the floor in the period and pulling to 100-89.
