Heroes‘ indestructible cheerleader Hayden Panettiere looks to be tugging at love handles (if she even has any) at LAX airport on Monday. And might I add she looked stunning on last night’s episode?

If you have a show about superheroes, of course you have to guest star the genius who created the greatest of all superheroes — STAN LEE! Stan, now 84, created or co-created all the greatest: Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, the Hulk, Daredevil, etc.

In Heroes episode “Unexpected,” Stan will make a cameo as bus driver, driving around Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka). Peter painfully learns that someone close may have betrayed him and Claude (pictured below). Matt’s world spirals out of control when radioactive man Ted Sprague (pictured below) and Hana Gitelman (guest star Stana Katic), a fierce young woman with “wireless” mental abilities, drop into his life. After blood is spilled, Hiro makes a difficult decision about his mission. Claire is unable to contain her anger at her father. This episode will air Monday, Feb. 19 @ 9PM ET/PT on NBC.

Also pictured: Jack Coleman as H.R.G., Zachary Quinto as Sylar, Rusty Schwimmer as Dale, Milo Ventimiglia as Peter Petrelli, Christopher Eccleston as Claude, Jimmy Jean-Louis as The Haitian, James Kyson Lee as Ando Masahashi, Missy Pyle as Hope, Bill Fagerbakke as Steve Gustavson, and Matthew John Armstrong as Theodore Sprague.

The cast of Heroes enjoyed a “Pre-Golden Globes Party” at Sunset Towers Hotel in L.A. last night. Pictured: (l-r) Tawny Cypress, Hayden Panettiere, Adrian Pasdar, Noah Gray-Cabey, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Executive Producer Tim Kring, wife Lisa Kring, Ali Larter, Jack Coleman, Kevin Reilly, President, NBC Entertainment, Greg Grunberg, Masi Oka, and Santiago Cabrera. Pictured below: Milo Ventimiglia.

The cast of Heroes are set as presenters at The 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards to be telecast live tomorrow on NBC at The Beverly Hilton. Starts @ 8PM ET/PT!

Here are some new promo shots of Heroes!!! Nothing too revealing except Hiro looking at a samurai costume. (He seeks a “sacred object,” which is the samurai sword.) Claude, an invisible man played by British actor Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who), appears in this episode as well. Heroes creator Tim Kring explains: “He’s been living with his invisibility for many years and has come to grips with it, so he’ll give us a different view into this hero world. He’s big, imposing and charismatic, and will become a mentor to Peter — albeit a tough, reluctant and stern one. He’ll help Peter learn to use and control his powers.” This all-new Heroes episode (”Godsend”) airs Monday, Jan. 22 @ 9PM ET/PT on NBC.

Cast pictured below: Adrian Pasdar as Nathan Petrelli, Milo Ventimiglia as Peter Petrelli, Leonard Roberts as D.L. Hawkins, Noah Gray-Cabey as Micah Sanders, Ali Larter as Niki Sanders, Masi Oka as Hiro Nakamura, Sendhil Ramamurthy as Mohinder Suresh, Greg Grunberg as Matt Parkman, Tawny Cypress as Simone Deveraux, Santiago Cabrera as Isaac Mendez, Hayden Panettiere as Claire Bennet, and James Kyson as Ando Masahashi.

And don’t forget to watch Masi Oka (Hiro) on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno later today! He’ll probably be showing off a preview of this Heroes episode.

Heroes‘ Hayden Panettiere attended yesterday’s The Hollywood Reporter’s Power 100 Women in Entertainment Breakfast Honoring Meryl Streep at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. At only 17, Hayden’s making waves as cheerleader Claire Bennett in NBC’s Heroes. SAVE THE CHEERLEADER, SAVE THE WORLD.

Other pictures include Hayden Panettiere rocking the red carpet and presenting at the VH1 Big in ‘06 Awards this past Saturday in Culver City, Calif.

Heroes‘ Milo Ventimiglia (formerly of Gilmore Girls) spars with Sly Stallone in the new Rocky Balboa, out in time for the holiday season (Dec. 22). Here is his interview with Men’s Fitness in the December 2006/January 2006 issue:

What’s it like playing the son of the iconic Rocky Balboa? Definitely some big shoes to fill. It was hard for me to enter into 30 years of legacy and shoulder the burden of not screwing it up. And meeting Sylvester for the first time was kind of intimidating. He’s a pretty ****in’ big presence with a deep, booming voice, but he’s actually very kind and very professional.

Did you pick up any boxing from Sly? No, man-not for me. I watched Antonio [Tarver] and Sylvester kick the shit out of each other for eight days when filming the Vegas fight scenes, and they were really connecting punches. I guess what I learned was I didn’t really want to get hit in the face.

Big buzz is surrounding Heroes, which debuts this fall on Mondays at 9ET/PT.  Heroes chronicles the lives of ordinary people who discover that they possess extraordinary abilities.  Here’s the cast (L2R, T2B): Masi Oka as Hiro Nakamura, Ali Larter as Niki Sanders, Noah Gray-Cabey as Micah Sanders, Leonard Roberts as D.L Hawkins, Milo Ventimiglia as Peter Petrelli, Adrian Pasdar as Nathan Petrelli, Hayden Panettiere as Claire Bennet, Sendhil Ramamurthy as Mohinder Suresh, Greg Grunberg as Matt Parkman, Santiago Cabrera as Isaac Mendez, and Tawny Cypress as Simone Deveraux.  

As a total eclipse casts it shadow across the globe, we follow a genetics professor (Ramamurthy) in India whose father’s disappearance leads him to uncover a secret theory — there are people with super powers living among us. A young dreamer (Ventimiglia) tries to convince his politician brother (Pasdar) that he can fly. A high school cheerleader (Panettiere) learns that she is totally indestructible. A Las Vegas stripper (Larter), trying to make ends meet to support her young son (Gray-Cabey), uncovers that her mirror image has a secret. A prison inmate (Roberts) mysteriously finds himself waking up outside of his cell. A gifted artist (Cabrera), whose drug addiction is destroying his life and the relationship with his girlfriend (Cypress), can paint the future. A down-on-his-luck Los Angeles beat cop (Grunberg) can hear peoples’ thoughts, which puts him on the trail of an elusive serial killer. In Japan, a young man (Oka) develops a way to stop time through sheer will power.  More promos in the gallery!
