Christy Carlson Romano is looking back on her time working with Even Stevens co-star Shia LaBeouf
Despite writing in her new memoir that it felt as though executives tried to "pit [Shia and me] against each other," Romano doesn't blame Disney for their tense relationship
Once Upon a Trainwreck: The Fall and Rise of a Child Star is out on Oct. 6
Christy Carlson Romano is looking back on her breakout role in the Disney sitcom Even Stevens and opening up about where her relationship with co-star Shia LaBeouf stands today.
Romano recently caught up with PEOPLE to discuss her new memoir, Once Upon a Trainwreck: The Fall and Rise of a Child Star, out Oct. 6, in which she delves into her tense relationship with LaBeouf, 40, who played her younger brother on the series from 2000 to 2003.

Christy Carlson Romano knows how to play a role, but finding herself has proven to be her greatest performance.
The Emmy-nominated actress and Disney Channel alum looks back on her turbulent upbringing in the spotlight in her debut memoir "Once Upon a Trainwreck: The Fall and Rise of a Child Star" (out now).
Romano, alongside fellow Disney darlings Shia LaBeouf, Hilary Duff and Raven-Symoné, epitomized teen stardom in the early 2000s, appearing in beloved TV shows and movies such as "Even Stevens," "Cadet Kelly" and "Kim Possible."
Despite her success, Romano often felt adrift in young Hollywood, intimidated by the upper echelons of prime-time dramas and glossy magazine covers.
"Looking back, I was really just trying to fit into whatever opportunity was thrown my way, rather than kind of create my own identity so that opportunities would find me in a different light," Romano tells USA TODAY. "I didn't have a stylist or a publicist, and I didn't really invest in myself the way that maybe I should have, to get to know exactly who I wanted to be, even if [that] changed over the years."

Christy Carlson Romano is ready for the next chapter of her life, but at one point, her story was nearly cut short.
The Emmy-nominated actress and former Disney Channel star, who pulls back the curtain in her debut memoir "Once Upon a Trainwreck: The Fall and Rise of a Child Star," was dealt a harrowing scare last year after she was accidentally shot in the face.
In February 2025, Romano was shooting clay pigeons in Texas with her husband, Brendan Rooney, for his birthday when someone from the couple's party "unsafely fired in the wrong direction," hitting her in the face, she shared on social media at the time.
The "Even Stevens" alum, then 40, was rushed to the hospital, where she learned that she'd been shot in five places, including a fragment of bird shot getting lodged behind her right eye.
"It's taught me that life goes by in a flash, and not just the flash of a shotgun, but the flash of time," Romano tells USA TODAY ahead of the book's Oct. 6 release. "One of the things that unpacking my life did for me was really showcase just how fast it's gone and how fast it will continue to go."

Sydney Sweeney has come under fire for another advertising campaign.
The Euphoria actor has teamed up with Novig, a new platform that combines sports trading with prediction-market features and is restricted to users aged 21 and above.
But the conversation isn't about the platform, which she is the new strategic partner and equity holder for. Instead, the marketing campaign has sparked a debate about how women are represented in sports.
The minute-long ad, ****** led "Just Sports," features the Christy actress posing in nothing but strategically placed footballs, basketball hoops, hockey pads, and a pool cue. The concept is that the platform focuses on sports and nothing else.
Marissa Womack, manager of game day promotions for the Harrisburg Senators, addressed the video and its backlash in a TikTok video: "This isn't about me being jealous or insecure. It's about the fact that this is already a male-dominated field where we constantly have to prove we belong. When the only representation is ****** ualization, you see fewer and fewer young women wanting to pursue this industry."

You might find it hard to believe that Edward Enninful's 72 Magazine is celebrating its first anniversary. The commemorative issue of 72 celebrates the creative legacy of the 90s and "its continued influence on fashion and culture". The independent London-based print publication, founded by the former British Vogue editor-in-chief under his EE72 media company, bestows upon us a total of 9 dual cover offerings for Issue #5 Fall 2026. Two generations of supermodels come together for the occasion. Gigi Hadid (wearing Versace Spring 1994), Anok Yai, Paloma Elsesser, Imaan Hammam, He Cong, Adwoa Aboah, Mica Argañaraz, Julia ***** is, and Emily Ratajkowski feature on one side of the 72 Magazine cover. Archival photos of 90s icons Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Kristen McMenamy, Yasmeen Ghauri, Karen Elson, Christy Turlington, and Amber Valletta appear on the flip side.

"Gigi actually looks good, for a change! I give credit where credit is due, unlike Vogue France," remarked BalkaniStaCouture upon checking out the covers.
"I like the concept of the dual covers and the two generations of models on each side; very nicely done. There's some strong cover imagery here; I am particularly fond of the Gigi Hadid cover – and love the archival Versace," voiced vogue28.
Yet not everyone was feeling it. "What an unfortunate decision to juxtapose the 90s vs today. You make people realize how the past is superior to the present. This magazine is already setting itself up for irrelevance," Lola701 noted.

The Seattle Mariners are about to place their flagging chance at a playoff spot on the bat of 21-year-old Lazaro Montes. The slugger is being called up after hitting 38 home runs in the minors in 2026, including 10 in August.
The Mariners need him to continue the power display in September in a Seattle uniform. The 6-foot-5 Cuban is expected to join the team for the start of a three-game series in Boston on Tuesday.
Whether the left-hander plays immediately at Fenway Park, which traditionally favors right-handed hitters, is for manager Dan Wilson to decide. Boston is scheduled to start left-hander Peyton Tolle in the opener, ace right-hander Sonny Gray on Wednesday and lefty Pablo Sandoval on Thursday.
Montes has struggled against left-handed pitchers in 2026, batting just .201 with six homers. He has raked right-handers for 32 homers and a .274 average.

Zendaya's professional and personal success is fueling fresh tension between her and Sydney Sweeney, a source tells the National Enquirer.
The Odyssey continues to break box office records long after its July 17 release date and Zendaya's latest film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, has made over $2 billion in global ticket sales, per Variety. The actress, 29, also recently tied the knot with longtime love Tom Holland.
"It's got to be hard for Sydney because Zendaya has gone to a new stratosphere," reveals the source. "[She and Tom] have achieved total superstardom and everyone, including Sydney, can see that."
Sweeney, 28, struck gold with 2025's The Housemaid but Christy, her recent boxing biopic, bombed at the box office. The actress' American Eagle ad campaign also caused quite a bit of controversy and her new lingerie line, Syrn, is reportedly in crisis, according to In Touch.
"She's out there hustling and working hard and insisting that her lingerie brand will be a huge success in time," says the source. "But there's no doubt seeing Zendaya achieving so much is a bitter pill to swallow."

Sydney Sweeney channeled Tom Cruise as she defied gravity on a biplane that flipped upside down mid-flight. The actress playfully compared her latest high-flying stunt to Cruise's famous aerial sequences with a short message for the actor.
The 28-year-old actress posted the video on Instagram on Monday, August 24. She wore a red safety vest and protective goggles, with her arms secured to the plane during the flight. Sharing the post, she wrote, "Watch out Tom Cruise."
The Wing Walk Company, which hosted Sweeney, commented on her post, "You were brilliant….we LOVED having you!." Her photographer friend Eddy Chen also said, "Thank gawd I didn't go. Would have passed out."
Her stunt reminded of Cruise's wing-walking sequence in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. The 2025 film featured him on an 80-year-old Stearman biplane that reached 140 mph at 8,000 feet during the sequence.
Sweeney has taken on several physically demanding roles in recent years. She recently portrayed professional boxer Christy Martin in the biopic Christy, undergoing months of intensive boxing and strength training.

A TikTok influencer named Christy Wong responded to the internet's outrage about her dating preferences in her video **** led "Is it okay to have Racial Preferences in Dating?" Wong claimed people are missing the point of attraction and criticizing what they can't control.
First, Wong set the context and described people's reaction to her earlier statement about her dating preferences.
"People get very upset when hearing that other people have dating preferences," Wong said. "So I said that my preferences are white Americans, Chinese, and Koreans, and a lot of people are very upset with that. So let's talk about it, because I personally don't think it's worthwhile criticizing other people's dating preferences."
Then, she addressed the argument that people's preferences may be affected by the media and historical background.
"I said that my preferences come primarily from familiarity. But a lot of people say that our preferences can also be largely shaped by media and history, and it can reflect, internalize racism. And I don't disagree with that. There's no denying that that is definitely true. The media shapes what we find attractive. It shapes what I find attractive. It shapes yours. I don't think anybody is above it," she said.

Aug 19 (Reuters) - Moderna shares more than doubled on Wednesday, adding about $30 billion to its market value, after promising late-stage data on its personalized mRNA cancer ‌therapy developed with Merck sent investors piling into the stock.
The therapy is central to Moderna's ‌efforts to prove that its mRNA technology can succeed beyond its COVID-19 vaccine franchise and infectious disease shots, as it seeks to build a more durable revenue base. The company recently added a flu vaccine to its portfolio and is advancing experimental vaccines for conditions including norovirus and Lyme disease.
Analysts had noted the cancer vaccine data could be an important catalyst for the company and potentially strengthen investor sentiment.
"A successful trial gives investors stronger evidence that mRNA technology can ‌have a meaningful future beyond infectious diseases," ⁠said Lale Akoner, global market strategist for eToro.
