The entertainment world is mourning the loss of Hayden Panettiere, who died this week at the age of 36. In this special episode, we take a thoughtful look back at her life and career, from her early days as a child star to her breakout roles in Heroes and beyond. We also unpack the tributes that have poured in from friends, family and former co-stars, and the complicated realities of growing up in the spotlight.

Before that, Monisha brings us her hot take on Camp Rock 3. Sixteen years later, the Jonas Brothers are back at camp, Demi Lovato makes a cameo, and the nostalgia is strong—but does the movie actually hold up to the OG films?
