She’s just getting over a breakup (from Stephen Colletti of Laguna Beach fame) and subject of hot dating rumors (with co-star Milo Ventimiglia) but Hayden Panettiere doesn’t need any romance advice from Masi Oka.

“[Stephen Colletti] was a good guy,” HeroesMasi Oka, 32, told People during the Emmys. “But I’m really in no place to give advice because I’m looking for love myself and I haven’t had much luck there. I’m single and available.”

You heard him, ladies. And it turns out that Hayden, despite her young age (she just turned 18), is the sage one when it comes to dispensing dating tips.

“She’s the one that gives advice,” Masi says of Hayden Panettiere.

“I remember one day we went to this premiere, and I didn’t realize it was a press event. They were taking pictures and Hayden came up to me and said ‘Masi, you have a hickey! We have to cover you up!’ And I was like, ‘Whoa. I didn’t know that.’ Hayden always takes care of all of us.”

A trio of hot Heroes: Milo Ventimiglia, Hayden Panettiere and Masi Oka.

The whole cast partied together all weekend long, beginning at the Emmy Nominees Reception Friday and on through Sunday night’s Emmys post-parties – with Oka and Panettiere singing and dancing late into the night. Oooooga!

We invite you, Heroes fans, to weigh on these issues. What do you think about Hayden and Milo? Are they dating? Is a 10-year age difference too much? Why hasn’t the adorable Masi Oka found love yet? And what will happen when Season Two premieres? To comment, share your thoughts in these Heroes forums.
