“Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere isn’t shy about showing her body onscreen—and her new film gives her fans an plenty to look at!

The actress told People about her cheeky scene in the film film “I Love You, Beth Cooper,” which debuts July 10. Panettiere plays the Beth of the title, a popular cheerleader who is the lust object of a dweeb played by played by Paul Rust, and she teases him by dropping her towel in the shower. How did the young star feel about baring it all?

“If I can’t flaunt it at 20, come on!” She added, “I mean I might as well show it now.” While she does have a point there, Hayden may feel differently if every role she’s offered in the future involved taking it all off.

Some of us are enjoying a relaxing summer, but Hayden Panettiere was back to work on the set of “Heroes,” filming on location in Westwood, CA. Hayden doesn’t look bummed about about it all, and she couldn’t be cuter in her vintage cowgirl shirt with jeans.

While it’s not yet official that “Gossip Girl” actor Chace Crawford will step into Kevin Bacon’s dancing shoes for the remake of “Footloose,” a certain TV actress already wants to be his partner. 

E! News reports “Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere has auditioned for the part of Ariel, and sources say she wowed the filmmakers with her singing. ”They were really impressed. No one realized what a good singer she is.”

The next step will likely be a dance audition with Crawford, but this casting is no done deal. “Dancing with the Stars” beauty/country songbird Julianne Hough is also interested, and she can dance rings around practically anyone else. 

“Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere was spotted leaving a home in Burbank, CA, after taking vocal lessons. Did she decide she needed some help on the vocals for that album she’s been recording?

“Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere is the latest victim in the string of celebrity jewel heists that have plagued Hollywood over the last few months.

TMZ reports the actress’ home was burglarized last week, and about $15,000 in jewelry is missing. Hayden discovered the robbery when she returned from vacation April 15.

There were no signs of forced entry. This sounds an awful lot like the Paris Hilton robbery from a few months ago. Wonder if they have any “friends” in common?

Actress Hayden Panettiere seems to be on a constant rampage lately, and now her “Heroes” co-stars have to put up with her wrath. OK! Reports that Hayden is trying to get her ex Milo Ventimiglia fired from the show. A source dished, “She refuses to be on the set at the same time as him She is making it difficult for everyone involved.”

Milo seems to be acting more mature than his 19-year-old former GF, but how hard is that to do? “He’s not going to play any games or stoop to her level,” the source said.

Hayden needs to remember that no matter what superpowers your character may possess, they won’t help you if the producers of the show decide you’re a pain in the ass and kill you off.

Just because your series hasn’t been cancelled yet doesn’t give you the right to act like a brat. But that’s just what Hayden Panettiere of “Heroes” did in Hawaii this weekend.

US Weekly reports the actress displayed her nasty temper on the red carpet at a fundraiser for the Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific Foundation in Honolulu yesterday. The 19-year-old yelled “Back up!” to photographers covering the event, then screamed at a female reporter, “Don’t you ever touch me!” She snapped at other media, “You all make my life miserable!”

Uh, sweetie—why do you think you were there? And who do you think you are, Angelina Jolie? You’re a blonde bimbo who got lucky at a young age and ought to be grateful you got a shot other, more talented, actresses would love to have. Milk that fifteen minutes for all it’s worth, because next year you could be Mischa Barton.

Hayden Panettiere is a single girl again, after her split from “Heroes” co-star Milo Ventimiglia. US reports the pair broke up last week. A source stated:

“It was a lifestyle conflict. They were in very different places. They are still on friendly terms. There are no hard feelings.” 

Gee, a 19-year-old wants to party while a 31-year-old wants to work? Who’d have guessed that? At least they realized it wasn’t going to last before they made it to the altar. This could make things awkward on the set, but no more awkward than those months of being a couple while pretending they weren’t.

The upcoming season of Heroes has being filming all over Los Angeles lately and we caught up to the crew yesterday while filming scenes in Venice Beach, Ca. The scene being filmed may be the closing scene of the season from the looks of it. Hayden and her on screen dad Adrian Pasdar are seen walking off into the sunset.  It’s supposed to be set in Mexico, Oaxaco I believe. There were lots of extras as well as Mexican cabs, license plated cars and building props. I’m not sure how much of this stuff is spoilers, but if you’re like me, you’ve lost the little faith you still had in Heroes last season and it’s only because of the hiring of new writers that I may continue watching.

Hayden Panettiere got a sympathetic shoulder from a co-star on the Venice, CA, set of “Heroes” Tuesday. The show’s rating have suffered this season, but NBC execs insist they still believe in the series, so it looks like Hayden and her pals will have their jobs awhile longer.

“Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere’s dad is no hero. People reports that Alan Lee Panettiere pleaded no contest today to misdemeanor battery and was sentenced to two years probation for allegedly hitting his wife, Lesley Vogel (pictured with Hayden), in August.

After the original incident, Hayden claimed “It was blown way out of proportion by a sheriff who wanted his 15 minutes of fame.” But in October, a judge issued a protective order requiring that Panettiere not “harass, strike or threaten” Vogel.

It sounds this couple needs to take some serious steps to settle their issues before violence breaks out again.

Hayden Panettiere didn’t look very happy on the set of “Heroes” yesterday. The show, which was filming in Playa Del Eey, has plunged in he ratings this year. The mid-season finale of “Heroes” airs December 15th and the next show will resume February 2. But fans shouldn’t worry about the show being cancelled yet since fourth-place network NBC has nothing else to replace it.

Heroes star Hayden Panettiere was spotted leaving the Thibiant Day Spa in Beverly Hills yesterday. I have to say, I definitely prefer seeing her fresh faced like this as opposed to her glammed up red carpet looks. And did you check out the shirt? It’s the ‘I Uzi L.A.’ shirt by The Succession. It’s a bit harsh but I’m definitely loving it nonetheless. And being the avid Coach lover that she is, Hayden is also sporting the fabulous little Sabrina bag in nude. Hmm, I wonder what sort of goodies she bought at he spa?

Check out the gallery for more pics of Miss Hayden leaving Thibiant.

Heroes star Hayden Panettiere’s dad, Alan, was arrested earlier this morning at their home in West Hollywood. People.com is reporting that he was taken in for felony domestic violence. He is currently in custody, with bail set at $50,000. Sargent Scott Wolf of the West Hollywood PD had this to say to the press regarding the situation: “There was a domestic argument between the mother and father. He got upset and struck the mother in the face one or two times on the left cheek which caused some bruising. From what I’m told, he hit her with a closed fist.” Alan was arrested and charged with a felony instead of a misdemeanor because of the visible injury on her face. Paramedics suggested that Lesley (Hayden’s mom) go to the hospital, but she refused. This is very disturbing and sad news. Let’s hope daddy Panettiere gets himself some much-needed help and counseling.

Is Hayden Panettiere going to be the next Hollywood starlet sporting an engagement ring? Well, according to In Touch Weekly, Hayden’s boyfriend, Milo Ventimiglia, is planning to propose to the Heroes actress very soon. In Touch talked to one of Milo’s pals, who told the magazine that the actor wants to get engaged this year. “Milo was looking at rings in late June,” the pal commented. “He really likes Cartier and intends to spend around $200,000.” Could it be true? Could eighteen-year old Hayden be heading down the aisle? Let’s hope not. Hayden’s way too young to get married. I don’t think folks should get married until they can at least buy their own cocktails, but that’s just my opinion.

She didn’t teach Larry King any dance moves like Janet did last week, but I’m sure Hayden answered Larry’s questions well enough. The mini-activist (she’s a big save the dolphins supporter) visited Larry King Live last night and our photogs caught up with her as she exited the CNN building in Hollywood. She looked quite the pretty little starlet, didn’t she? I do love the pencil skirt and wispy red top. Well done, Hayden. And going back to her activism, Hayden is going to be honored at the Genesis Awards (organized by the Humane Society) on March 29 for raising awareness of dolphin and whale slaughtering in Japan. Congrats, Hayden!

…sticks together! And it looks like Hayden Panettiere and her family are a very close knit group. Instead of having a cozy dinner with her boyfriend, Milo Ventimiglia, Hayden opted to take her family out to STK Restaurant in West Hollywood instead. She was joined by her mom, dad and little brother, Jensen. Jensen probably had to don a jacket for this, but it looks he didn’t mind at all. He was hanging out next to older sis all night. Imagine having Hayden as your older sister. I bet all his friends have crushes on her. So cute. I have more pictures of the Panettiere family below for your viewing pleausre. Have at them.

Please don’t try this if you’re not a hero. Goodness, that was lame. Bad play on words aside, our photogs got lucky and found Hayden Panettiere showing off one of her hidden talents and/or oral fixations. That’s a mighty skill for a young woman, Hayden. You should really try to keep that under wraps. And mind you, those are Venti-sized Starbucks coffee drinks she’s balancing, meaning they’re mighty big cups. Oh, yeah.

Here’s another look at Hayden’s mastery of juggling Starbucks coffee cups just with the use of her upper lip. See, I would’ve used my chin, but maybe Hayden already knows that move and decided to go with the upper lip instead. The Heroes star recently admitted that she’s dating Milo Ventimiglia, so maybe the second cup of joe is for him. I’m sure there are many dudes out there wishing the second cup was for them, or her upper lip for that matter, but they’ll just have to enjoy these pictures from afar. And just like that, I am now craving a cup of freakin’ coffee. Thanks, Hayden!

It’s official – according to London newspaper The Sun, Hayden Panettiere is dating co-star Milo Ventimiglia. It is duly noted that he first denied they were dating, but confirmed it as they snuggled together at a recent Christmas party. Everyone’s probably wondering why he would deny dating Hayden, but some folks are just a wee bit private with their romantic lives, and there is the fact that they are co-stars. Milo plays Peter Petrelli in Heroes and he’s also well known as the rebellious boyfriend in Gilmore Girls. Okay, he probably wasn’t well known for that, but I loved him in that role. Let’s hope this relationship lasts a while, but with the twelve year age difference (she’s 18, he’s 30), there might be some bumps along the way. Hayden’s still going to want to play the field at her young age and especially when she reaches her partying 20s. But I’m just guessing here and I’m almost always never right regarding celebrity love stuff. Oh, well – we’ll just have to watch and wait. In the meantime, just have fun with each other, Hayden and Milo. Maybe you guys can practice lines together or something.

Poor Hayden’s going to be known as the cheerleader hero her whole life, but at least the popularity’s getting her her own line of bags. And these are not cheap accesories either, mind you. None other than Dooney & Bourke is putting out a line of Hayden’s bags just in time for December holiday shopping. We caught up with her at the South Coast Plaza yesterday on her way to the D&B store to introduce her new line. Tonight’s the season finale of Heroes and last week’s preview mentioned two main characters not making it. Is Hayden one of them? My prediction already calls for her coming back next season, but it’s still going to be an exciting episode to watch! And really, with the writer’s strike, who’s really going to be back on TV next year? We have more pictures of Hayden and her cute self to make you feel better.
