We Heart Hayden

The blonde actress appeared at the Ford Flex Rally 2008 in Edison Downtown in Los Angeles last weekend sporting a new haircut. The Ford Flex Rally was a charity event launching Ford’s new crossover SUV. It’s also a scavenger hunt in which 10 celebrity teams drive the 2009 Ford Flex around looking for clues. Ford partnered with charity Band From TV for ultimate adventure in the new 2009 Ford Flex. The event was hosted by “Band From TV” formed by Heroes star Greg Grunberg.

Aside from giving Heroes 3 spoilers, Hayden Panettiere also talked about her new short bob. The 18-year-old actress said that because she wears extensions, and one of the Claire’s has dark hair, she was ready for a change. She said the new short bob is easy, she can just get up and go. So what do you think of Hayden’s bob? NAY or YAY? Tell us wha you think =)

Our fave Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere gave away more Heroes 3 spoilers. The big news? There won’t be just one Claire Benett when the show returns!! There’s one good Claire, and one bad Claire. A clone? Another time shift perhaps?? Maybe that’s why Hayden was a brunette in the Heroes 3 set! Now the show may go something like this: “Save the cheerleader, save the world,” and then “Don’t save the bad cheerleader, she’s trying to destroy the world.” LOL!! According to Kristin over at E!:

Gee, well, I don’t have much to tell, other than the fact that in the first three minutes one of the lead heroes is going to bust a cap off at one of the other lead heroes. And oh yeah, the guy she pulls the trigger on just might be the guy she’s playing tonsil hockey with in real life. She also tells him (on cam), “I always loved you.” Whaaa?! Figured it out? I know you have, so discuss in the comments below! Oh, and even more shocking? We’re gonna see Claire-bear with dark hair and this also involves a shift in time. So very Lostalicious, no?

Sounds like it’s Hayden and Milo eh??

And that means Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia will figure prominently! Woohoo! If you’re not a fan of Heroes, let me introduce the Bennets and Petrellis to you: Hayden plays the indestructible cheerleader Claire Bennet while Milo plays her uncle who can absorb powers, Peter Petrelli. Here’s more Heroes 3 spoilers below. Forgot where I read them! If you know, drop a comment so I can credit it. Thanks! =)

FYI, I’m hearing good things about the larger picture on Heroes this season: In particular, the Bennets and Petrellis are staying front and center, and they are totally up in each other’s bidness—just the way we like them.

Someone somewhere is definitely paying attention to the fans, and the resulting twists are so good it’s killing me not to talk about them.

Suffice it to say, there will be some shocking alliances and the appearance of at least one long-lost relative.

“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.

It’s now almost two months in to filming of Heroes season 3 — and by the looks its behind-the-scenes pictures (see previous posts), there are lots of interesting developments! Like, why did Hayden Panettiere went brunette and donned black outfits? And why does Milo Ventimiglia (who’s back as Peter Petrelli) now sporting a slicked-back hair and facial scar?? And he’s dressed up with a “Neo from The Matrix” look at that! Also, who’s that walking alongside him in the photo below? A Petrelli clone, perhaps? The Heroes season 3 suspense is killing me!! LOL

MORE photos of Milo in black HERE!

Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia sizzles with passion (and lust??) while filming on the set of Heroes season 3. I thought they were uncle and niece in the show? Wazzup with these sexy lovers photos then?? Anyway, according to reports, Heroes season 3 is all set to open with a three-hour episode airing this September 22, 2008 (Monday). The first hour will be a clip show of the past two seasons with the final two hours containing the season 3 premiere and the opening of the third volume, “Villains”. Will Hayden Panettiere be a villain?? After all she’s gone brunette and a wore black leather outfit!

Doesn’t she look tough firing that gun?? These photos are taken from the set of Heroes season 3 while filming, and Hayden Panettiere’s cheerleader character has gone bad-ass! Can’t hardly wait for Heroes 3: Villains to start showing!!

And of course, our source is Masi Oka who is busy stumping for “Get Smart”, his new movie with Steve Carrell =) We all know that production on Heroes season 3 is well underway, and that four episodes are already in the can. Masi Oka revealed quite unfunnily,

“Everyone dies. It’s actually being rebooted this season as ‘Heroes: The Animals.’”

If that’s his hint, does than mean Adam is coming back? Is Nathan really dead? Is Nikki? Masi Oka answers,

“Seriously! There are alligators and cats and dogs and dinosaurs. It’s going to be awesome! [Now he turns really serious] A lot of the characters from season 2 will be back. The season is called ‘Villains,’ so our heroes will be thinking about whether they are good or bad. Really, it’s all about perception.”

So now that season 3 is all good, what does he think of the last season of Heroes? Well, Masi Oka was unsatisfied with it to say the least. For one thing, the kendo enthusiast thought the show squandered its feudal Japan setting. Masi Oka also thought Hiro shouldn’t have moved on to a new girl so soon after Charlie’s death. He says,

“It was such a great era full of big samurai sword fights. We did a 10-second one at the end, and it was like, ‘Wha? That’s it?’ … It’s different if Charlie had dumped him or something, but she died! She was murdered! He shouldn’t have been in the mood for a rebound.”
