Hayden Panettiere Has No Time For College

Unlike other actresses like Emma Watson and Natalie Portman who headed to college after their big break as teen stars, Heroes star Hayden Panettiere isn't planning on hitting the books anytime soon...or ever....

The 20-year-old says that being on the hit sci-fi TV show has given her all the smarts she needs:

"I always wanted to go to college (but) the show happened to start in a pretty pivotal period, when you have thoughts of going to college. It was just such a success and it is what I love to do. I would love to take some classes that I really enjoy, but I think college is a learning experience for yourself as a person and (it's about) being on your own for the first time."

Hayden Panettierre: I’m Cool With Being Naked

Hayden Panettierre, the star of television’s Heroes and the upcoming movie I Love You, Beth Cooper, says she’s cool with nude scenes and says her father calls her an exhibitionist.

“I was really naked,” Panettierre says of her nude scene in the new flick (breathe guys, it’s only her back you see). “I had these little sticky petals on my boobs, but that was about it. My dad calls me such an exhibitionist. He always says, ‘God, even when you were little, you were such an exhibitionist!’”

She adds, “I’m cool with my body. I’m cool running around undressed and all that stuff, but there are just certain things that not everyone needs to know, that you need to keep somehow private and personal to you… But you never know, you never know. I could be 30 years old and just be like, ‘Screw it — I want to take it all off. I better take a picture of this baby before it all goes.’”

Haydens GQ interview: Likes the girls, and is rooting for Britney

Hayden Panettiere has said that she really wants to see Britney Spears get through her recent troubles.

The actress described Spears as an "idol" and claimed she feels sympathy for the star because of all the media pressure that surrounds her everyday life.

She told GQ: "That girl was the epitome of beauty when I was younger.

"And we built her up and just ripped her down, put every aspect of her life under a microscope - we probably made 90 per cent of the stuff up along the way.

"I can't even imagine if my life was like hers. She's someone that I'm rooting for, and I hope she can make that comeback, definitely."

During the interview Hayden was also asked what the craziest rumour she had ever heard about herself?

"Well, now that I'm single, it's like I'm dating every male I'm standing next to—and possibly every female."

Asked about celebs she wouldn't mind being romantically linked to she said, "God, it could be anyone from Leo DiCaprio to Justin Timberlake — or any girl."

"You want to make me a lesbian? That's totally fine with me. Um, let's see. We could do a love affair with Angelina. We could do... Oh gosh, I love — there are so many beautiful girls. Charlize Theron. Oh, my God. Kate Beckinsale is gorgeous. Jessica Alba."

Panettiere Threatens To "Kill" Journalist at Emmys

hayden_panettiere_threatens_journalistHeroes beauty Hayden Panettiere shocked journalists at the Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday when she allegedly threatened to "kill" a reporter for publishing articles about her love life.

The 18-year-old star was attending the Los Angeles awards ceremony when she lashed out at a writer from American magazine Us Weekly, reportedly over her split from boyfriend Stephen Colletti earlier this month. The Us Weekly article reads:

"The actress seems to have moved on. When Us asked, 'Where's Stephen?' at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 9, she furrowed her brow and replied: 'I don't know. In California?' Maybe it's because she had time to adjust to the relationship being over."

But the actress was so incensed at the speculation over her private life she lost her temper and had to be held back by her publicist, who warned her, "Not on the red carpet."
