We Heart Hayden

And the one hour sneak peak of its season 3 premiere episode got a standing ovation! Oh wow, I would give anything just to be there in the Comic-Con to watch the Heroes preview! According E! Online, “the response was overwhelmingly positive among the crowd. The first hour, truth told, felt and looked like a movie…” Add to that was the fact that the entire cast of Heroes (as previously posted, Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia attended) was there to watch it too — so cool! =) After the sneak peak, there were fan questions for the cast. Here’s some of the interesting ones:

Fan Q: Can you describe the new season in one word?
Jack Coleman: “Fantastico!”
Hayden: “Wonderful, magical”
Milo: “Melt your head”
Masi: [Something awesome-sounding in Japanese]
Greg: “Sexaaay”
Adrian: “Sexy because you get to see Greg in a thong”
Dania: “Twisted”
Zachary: “I’ve always liked the word ‘brouhaha’”
Ali: “Fantastical”
Sendhil: “Deeply dark”
James: “Roller coaster”
Christine: “In my day we would have said, ‘Far out and groovy baby!’”
Tim Kring: “I’ll go with the word ‘adrenaline.’”

Fan Q: Whose power would you take?
Milo: “I would take Sylar’s.”
Jack: “I would take anybody’s.”
Hayden: “I would take Niki’s power from first season because I’m tired of being beaten up!”

LOL! Poor girl! In fairness, Hayden Panettiere as Claire Bennett did take a lot of beatings! After all, she can take it as she’s indestructible =) Anyway here’s one great news for those who felt cheated out of season 2 (cut short due to the writers’ strike) — Heroes executive producer Jeff Loeb announced that the unseen episodes from season two will be on the Heroes season two DVD! Oh yeah!!

Hayden Panettiere plays a teenage cheerleader on the hit TV show Heroes, and when you says teen — lovelife is the next word that comes with it. So, will Claire Bennett be seeing some action in this department for season 3? Hayden shares during the 2008 Comic-Con (that’s her in pink above with a co-star),

“No! Not at all, not yet. I have not read past episode eight, so it could be in the future, I don’t know, but I think we tried that and it went…not so much. Personally, I’d rather be interacting with everyone else and be in the core of what’s going on, and what’s going on has nothing to do with relationships like that, so…”

So…? There might be a love interest after episode 8?? Or is that a definite NO, there isn’t now and there won’t be? LOL! Hayden Panettiere also revealed her character will be having teen rebellion tantrums in the upcoming season. She relates,

“As a teenager, even younger than myself, [Claire is] still going through that turmoil with [her] parents, and she’s trying to break away, and she kind of starts to this season. She’s gotten to the point—and I remember getting to this point, too—where you’d ask [permission], but you knew what you were going to do, regardless what the answer was.”

Last weekend, all roads converged at San Diego, California for the 2008 Comic-Con. The Heroes cast and crew were there for their own panel and some exciting Q&A. Yeah, Hayden Panettiere (in pink above) and Milo Ventimiglia (guy beside Hayden’s female seatmate) were there, and they gave their fans lots of dirt on Heroes season 3. Of course, the main topic was villains. Hayden shared,

“There’s many things much worse than Sylar (Zachary Quinto).”

Oh wow! Sylar is baaad as it is and there are things (with an S!) worse than him?? Scary! Milo concurs with his girlfriend and added,

“I think everybody [this season] is confronting something worse than Sylar. It’s something that is going to strike a chord and be close to Peter, what this big obstacle in the road is…[because] it’s a threat to everybody; it’s a threat to everything. I’m not going to say it’s four horsemen or one horseman, but there’s gonna be a power that comes in that everybody has to kind of band together to make sure it doesn’t run wild.”

Ooohh, I’m scared already! And excited too!!! September 22 is sooo far away still! Sigh.. Anyway, Hayden Panettiere also revealed that the original cast of Heroes will be sharing lots of screen time. YEAH!! I love it when they’re together =) Hayden said,

“A lot of us are working much more closely together—the main cast—which I think is what the audience missed about the second season, and I think what we missed about the second season…that we didn’t really get the chance to work with each other. We’re all crossing paths this season.”

Yeah, believe it or not! And the special occasion? It was Milo Ventimiglia’s birthday! And the striptease was apparently Hayden Panettiere’s gift for him. Should I say “how sweet”?? LOL! The alleged striptease happened on the set of Heroes where Hayden ripped off a Velcro-lined version of her cheerleader outfit to reveal red lingerie while serenading Milo, who had turned 31. A source revealed,

“Hayden gave Milo an unforgettable birthday surprise by morphing from her bouncy cheerleader character in Heroes to a bump-and-grind striptease. She asked the wardrobe girls to make her a Velcro-lined version of the outfit she wears on the show. As she sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to Milo in front of cast and crew during lunch she ripped off the costume to show off her sexy red lingerie. Milo’s face went bright red.”

Was he ashamed of his girlfriend’s public sexy dance? Or did he turn red because of lust?? Hayden Panettiere was wearing a red-hot lingerie after all! LOLOLOL!

Netflix LIVE! On Location is a concert and screening series, staged in famous outdoor locations, that features many of today’s most popular stars live on stage with their bands and then on screen in their most enduring roles. And this August 9, it will feature BAND FROM TV — which Hayden Panettiere earlier supported (read all about it HERE). Band From TV features guitarist James Denton (”Desperate Housewives”), drummer Greg Grunberg (”Heroes”), rock violinist Jesse Spencer (”House M.D.”) and vocalist Bob Guiney (”The Bachelor” and TLC’s “Date My House”). So, yeah, Hayden will be there to support her Heroes co-star Greg =)

Aside from our fave Heroes babe, Teri Hatcher, Kristen Bell and Adrian Pasdar will also show their support for Band From TV. In their largest public performance ever, the band will perform at the free, family-oriented event, which will take place on the grounds of the Autry National Center in Los Angeles and include a screening of classic television programs from the extensive library of TV content offered by Netflix. Teri Hatcher (”Desperate Housewives”) will sing with the band while Hayden Panettiere (”Heroes”) will introduce the group and join the players on stage along with Kristin Bell (”Veronica Mars” and “Heroes”) and Adrian Pasdar (”Heroes”).

Why? Firstly, her parents are just a street away! LOL! Guess her mom and dad can’t let go of Hayden Panettiere that fully yet =) The Heroes babe told E! recently,

“My parents are, like, down the street. So when it’s late at night and I don’t feel like being by myself, I’ll be like [on the phone], ‘Hi Dad,’ and he’ll be like, ‘Just come over,’ and I’ll be like, ‘Oh, OK. Pull my arm. Twist my arm. OK.’ “

Is Hayden sure she’ll be calling her parents and not her bf Milo Ventimiglia when she’s lonely at night?? LOL! Anyway, the 18-year old actress won’t be living alone in her $4 million Hollywood mansion. Soon, Milo is moving in *ahem* her best friend from back home will be moving in with her. As for now, Hayden Panettiere is concentrating on decorating her “contemporary” home as well as squeezing a huge 14-by-14 couch into her living room. Give us photos gurl!! =)

After back to back parties, the Heroes actress opted for a low-key dinner last Monday night at Madeo restaurant in Beverly Hills. Unfortunately for Hayden Panettiere, she was mobbed by her fans and the paparazzi when she exited the restaurant. But being the sweet girl that she is, the 18-year old star gave her autographs before hopping in her car and heading home. Hayden Panettiere was dressed in a pink off-the-shoulder top, jeans, and a pair of shiny peep-toe heels. No word on who was her dinner date!

Our fave Heroes babe (in Herve Leger) is looking very pretty in pink at the NBC Universal 2008 Press Tour All-Star Party held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday in Beverly Hills, California. I really love how Hayden Panettiere is looking these days — glowing and oh-so beautiful! Expert makeup or she’s just really in love?? =)

MORE of Hayden’s photos HERE!

The “Heroes” babe arrives at the J Bar and Lounge in Los Angeles, California where the 2008 ESPYs Giant Event was held. Hayden Panettiere looked uber-sexy in a floor-length spaghetti strap blue and orange swirly-printed dress. The ESPY Awards is an annual sports awards event created and broadcast by American cable television network ESPN. Justin Timberlake hosted the 2008 ESPYs (taped last July 16) and was aired last Sunday at 9PM ET. Enjoy Hayden’s delish photos! =)

Yeah, pretty expensive huh?? I thought that when she said she’s gonna move out of her parents’ home, Hayden will just buy a condo unit or rent an apartment. But apparently, that wasn’t enough for the Heroes babe and she went ahead to purchase a $4 million mansion in the Hollywood Hills! According to FoxTarts’ insider, Hayden Panettiere has been busy designing and re-designing her very first not-so-humble abode ($4 million?? gosh!), which is complete with a large pool and outdoor entertainment area. WOW!! That’s a super neat house! Here’s more of FoxTart’s report,

Apparently, Miss P. has been itching to get her own space for quite some time, especially since she’s been dating her co-star Milo Ventimiglia, who happens to be 13 years her senior.
.
But we’re told Mr. & Mrs. Panettiere don’t have a problem with their little girl having an older guy and even think he’s total husband material (there was buzz on Thursday that Milo is shopping for a $200,000 Cartier engagement ring for Hayden).
