Hayden Panettiere Archives

Hayden Panettiere tells the April 2008 issue of Cosmopolitan that she won’t succumb to peer pressure and fall prey to drugs and alcohol.

“I think that people look at me as just another one of those girls who’s going to screw up, like ‘She’s going to get into drugs, and she’s going to get into the parties,’ ” the 18-year-old Heroes hottie says. “I have the occasional glass of champagne when I’m celebrating something, but generally, I don’t drink. I’m a pizza-and-a-movie girl.”

On accepting her body type: “I don’t have a model’s body. But I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m okay with what I have. I can rock this body, you know?”

On staying quiet about her boyfriend, Heroes costar Milo Ventimiglia: “I need somebody who is very secure. In this business, I’m constantly standing next to gorgeous people. My job is to make out with [attractive] men. Like, hello, who wouldn’t be completely threatened by that? But at the end of the day, you have to realize that it’s just a job.”

Milo’s secure, right??

Heroes hottie Hayden Panettiere joins cyclist Lance Armstrong, musician Wyclef Jean, actress Rosario Dawson and singer Josh Groban to promote the importance of voting on Monday’s Larry King Live.

“I’m a newbie voter,” the 18-year-old said. “It felt very empowering… very empowering to have a voice and declare yourself.”

Hayden also is the official spokeswoman for voting campaign Declare Yourself.

“Declare Yourself speaks to young people,” she explains. “I’ve said to them, ask your candidates about problems, whether it be environmental or Lance with cancer or war. Ask them what their views are on it.

“Then let that weigh in on their decision.”

When asked by vidoeographers if given the choice between Democrat Barack Obama or Republican John McCain, Hayden said she would definitely choose Obama. However, Hayden still appeared undecided between Obama and rival Hillary Clinton as the Democratic presidential candidate. Momager Lesley (pictured below) was seen standing behind Hayden the whole time she was being asked questions and signing auotgraphs.

Hayden Panettiere dishes in the April issue of Seventeen magazine about her life and wanting to save the world. The Heroes hottie talks about her fight against whalers in Japan, why voting matters and her very personal crusade to find the right guy!

Enjoy some interview snippets:

On breaking up with Stephen Colletti:
“I just knew I wanted to breathe. I wanted to be single at the time. It just hit me like a ton of bricks: This is the time I need to be with myself. It takes such a secure person to be with someone like me—it takes so much confidence; it takes so much trust.”

On wanting to be girly and just have fun:
“If I was a wonderful person, I’d run around in whatever clothes and have one outfit – and then I’d donate the rest of the money to charity. But no one is perfect, and no one is saying you have to give up everything in your life to change the world.”

On what it was like fighting whalers in Japan:
“It was great! There’s very little that scares me. I’ve always been a physical person. And I feel like a lot of time in this industry, a lot of people loan their face to a cause, which is great, but it doesn’t do as much as getting out there and actually physically doing something.”

Hayden Panettiere goes apartment hunting with momager Lesley in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Wednesday.

A space large enough for both the 18-year-old and Heroes actress and costar boyfriend Milo Ventimiglia, perhaps??

Earlier this week, Hayden mentioned she’s going back to the Heroes set soon:

“We go back to filming in April,” Panettiere said. “I’m filming a movie in Vancouver so I’ll be joining them in May.”

Jabba-who? Jabba-what?

Tween queens Miley Cyrus and Hayden Panettiere recently talked with Mario Lopez, the host of the new reality competition Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew.

Apparently the Hannah Montana and Heroes stars are big fans of the show!

When asked which dance group she was a fan of, Miley immediately said, “JabbaWockeeZ. They’re my favorite.”

Hayden admitted, “I like to shake my booty, I guess I could say.”

Ms. Panettiere also mentioned going back to the Heroes set:“We go back to filming April. I’m filming a movie in Vancouver so I’ll be joining them in May.” When asked how she spent her time during the strike, Panettiere responds, “Working on my album…The thing about the album that I wanted the most was making sure that every song didn’t sound the same.”

Heroes hottie Hayden Panettiere is the new face of the Candie’s clothing line for girls for spring 2008. The ad campaign was shot at New York’s Serendipity 3, which has since been closed down by the Department of Health after failing its second health inspection in a month.

Hayden’s debut album drops later this year on Hollywood Records, which she started working on when she was 15 years old.

“I’ve grown up a lot since I started,” she said.
