We Heart Hayden

It seems that an actress’ work these days are never-ending. It’s not just parties and filming anymore. In the case of Hayden Panettiere, there’s her Save the Whales campaign and some political business about voting. Here’s what I found out in one site about Hayden’s recent “political” activities:

The D.C. delegates got an invitation to a lunch for DC Vote from our Shadow Senators with special guest Hayden Panettiere from the TV show Heroes. That seemed to make up for the fact that Mayor Fenty never showed up to speak…
.
I came back to the hotel for the Hayden Panettiere voting rights lunch. Not a large but an enthusiastic crowd. There along with Hayden was Keith Smith and also Melissa Fitzgerald from West Wing. Our shadow Senator Paul Strauss obviously has some good connections…

Yep, our fave Heroes babe is certainly going places! Last Thursday, a slew of Emmy presenters was announced, and Hayden Panettiere was one of them. She’s the only one from Heroes who’ll be presenting on the prestigious awards show. Along with Hayden Panettiere are America Ferrera (Ugly Betty), Laurence Fishburne (soon to take over for Gil Grissom on CSI), Jennifer Love Hewitt, William Petersen (whom Fishburne is replacing on CSI) and Vanessa Williams ( Ugly Betty). They will be joining they already impressive list of Emmy presenters previously announced which includes: Marcia Cross, Dana Delany, Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria Parker, Nicollette Sheridan, Hugh Laurie, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Hayden Panettiere has certainly come a long way to be associated with these stars!! ^_^ The Emmy Awards will air on September 21 on FOX.

And her huge dog is included in the cool party! =) Hayden Panettiere celebrated her 19th birthday last August 21 but she waited until Sunday afternoon (August 24) for her big pool party with family and friends. Hayden wore a super sexy gold sparkly two-piece bikini along with a gold “Rockstar” necklace and a big pointed purple party hat that got the attention of everybody. Cute! ^_^ Anyway, enjoy Hayden Panettiere’s birthday party photos!

And her verdict? The whole incident was just blown way out of proportion by the sheriff who talked to the media. Hayden Panettiere’s father, Alan, was previously arrested for felony spousal abuse last August 11 but was released on bail the same day. He was seen jogging with his wife, Lesley, the next morning. Hayden told Extra,

“It was blown way out of proportion by a sheriff who wanted his 15 minutes of fame.”

Hayden Panettiere also added that their family is coping well after the incident. She said,

“My family is wonderful. So very happy. We’re all great.”

Alan Panettiere has previously insisted that it was all a mistake, telling Extra that “nothing actually happened” and called the incident a “misunderstanding”.

Often, we see our fave Heroes babe signing autographs amiably for her fans whenever she leaves a restaurant or any event. But, Hayden Panettiere admits she gets “annoyed” when fans stalk her. Being wise beyond her tender years of 19, she understands why people is interested in her, but finds it a little overbearing when people follow her around. Hayden Panettiere explains,

“You do get used to the fascination people have in you or the show but you never really get used to people stalking you. That’s not something you are ever going to get used to. You just get more and more annoyed with it.”

I only have one thing to say Hayden Panettiere – get used to it gurl! You will still become a bigger star and with that, comes bigger paparazzi and fans entourage. LOL!

Our fave Heroes babe has bought a multi-million dollar home in Los Angeles recently but owing to its proximity to her parents’ home, she’s finding it difficult to give up her home comforts for the past 18 years. According to a source close to Hayden Panettiere,

“She’s hardly ever in her new house. She’s been at home with her mother more than ever and uses her house like a glorified closet. She just keeps all her stuff there, especially all the clothes she is sent, and throws the odd party. Then it’s home to mum again.”

LOL! Can’t blame Hayden Panettiere if she’s still “stuck” with her parents. After all, they are a tight-knit family. Her 3,120-square-foot property boasts three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a pool. Pretty large for a single person eh??

If you’re not familiar with PanettiereCloset.com, check out our previous post HERE. Anyway, Hayden Panettiere’s charity website has since underwent a facelift and now it’s back with an update. Here’s what’s written in the website:

GREAT NEWS!
.
Currently, Hayden is working on putting out new summer inventory straight from her closet to you! There will be a summer sales event held right here at PanettiereCloset.com with a huge inventory. Please be patient as this process will take a few weeks. We will send out a notification to all you wonderful supporters once the site is up and running in a couple weeks! Meanwhile, please do check out the rest of Hayden’s clothing on Zude or Shopit!

Our fave Heroes babe is once again gracing Dooney & Bourke’s latest bag ad campaign. This time, Hayden Panettiere is shilling for the new leather Dooney & Bourke “Florentine Vacchetta” handbags. Pictured below, from top to bottom are Letter Carrier, Domed Satchel, and Bucket Bag. Did Hayden give justice to the bags’ pretty design? In other words, did she model them well?? Hehe!

Why did I say that? Mmm, maybe because she risked her life to save the dolphins, and because she says she’ll do it again. Hehe! Hayden Panettiere explained,

“I’m a Leo. I’m feisty and opinionated, God knows.”

So yeah, she has no regrets for her dolphin activism despite a warrant of arrest for her demonstration activities in Japan. Sometimes I think, couldn’t Hayden Panetttiere just write a check or hold some kind of fundraiser to help out for beloved dolphins?? She says no and explains,

“I’m a hands-on kinda gal, not much of a sit-back-and-watch (person). I like to be involved in everything. I was the same way when I was in school. I enjoy adrenaline, I enjoy having an opinion and standing up for something that I believe in. Putting myself sometimes in the line of danger.”

Yeah, danger! No wonder she’s so at home in Heroes which is action-packed. As for her scary experience in Japan, Hayden Panettiere denies being scared about it and said, “No. No! It rocks my world (laughs).”

Her days of wearing ultra-tight black leather “villainy” outfits are over. These days, Hayden Panettiere is back shooting episodes of Heroes‘ third season as the goody-goody indestructible cheerleader. Of course, her scenes are action-packed as usual =) Heroes will return to the air with new episodes on September 22, and Hayden is quite excited about it. She says,

“It is the same action, high-energy, adventure and cliff-hangers that it was in the first season. A lot of the core characters are working together and crossing paths again so it’s so much fun for us to film. It’s incredible. It’s just coming out wonderfully and I think the audience will be very excited.”

Hayden Panettiere is also happy with the direction of her character, Claire Bennett. The 18-year old actress shares,

“We bounce back and forth a little bit from present to future, and my future character is very different from my present character. So it’s very cool to have the ability to stretch my wings a little bit.”
