Hayden Panettiere Enjoys a Little Retail Therapy

Pretty, out-of-work actress Hayden Panettiere has the cure for the writers' strike blues - shop 'til you drop! The Heroes star arrives at home in Los Angeles Sunday with a handful of shopping bags ... hey, gotta do something with your free time.

There has been very little progress in the negotiations between networks and TV writers, and the strike threatens to halt production of many shows before long.

There is an all-new episode of Heroes tonight on HBC at least. Get your Hayden Panettiere / Milo Ventimiglia / Masi Oka / Kirsten Bell fix while you can!
