We Heart Hayden

“Heroes” indestructible cheeleader shows up at the Ford Flex Rally party to lend support to costar Greg Grunberg (with her in the photo above). After photos of her brunette locks swarmed the internet, Hayden Panettiere is now back with her blonde hair — cut to a charming bob! =) The animal-loving actress and activist showed off her do as she watched US supergroup BAND FROM TV. The group was started by Greg, who plays the Heroes‘ mind-reading FBI officer. The group also features HUGH LAURIE on keyboards and JAMES DENTON from Desperate Housewives on guitar. In the photo below, Hayden Panettiere is with Greg and Brea Grant, her new blond competition on Heroes 3.

Brea’s superpower is speed. She told the Associated Press, “I’m stealing a secret that’s been kept in Hiro’s family for a long time that he’s just now found. He stops time right as I grab it, but in that second it took him to grab it, I almost make it out of the office.” According to Masi Oka (Hiro),

“Her character is supposed to be Hiro’s Joker. Batman has the Joker. Hiro has Daphne. This is the season where Hiro finally finds his arch-nemesis, and it happens to be this Speedster. I kind of equate it more to Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, except Daphne says more than ‘meep meep.’”
