Hayden Panettiere
Gossip

Hayden Panettiere is so cute. And young. And quite fond of trying out different hairstyles, as well as saving marine life as a hobby. Not a bad resume, really.

The whale-saving activist and Heroes star, at least until it gets canned, showed off new bangs while hosting the Whaleman Foundation benefit in Los Angeles.

Well, what do you think? To bang or not to bang? Which look suits her best? Take a look at the Hayden Panettiere pictures below and vote in our survey ...

Hayden Panettiere is totally ...

Celebrity fashion followers are surely aware that of late, many stylish ladies have been flaunting their womanly shapes in draped frocks (and loving it).

But can anyone take down Lauren Conrad in a style showdown?

Seriously, she wins every survey we put up. There may be no young celebrity whose fashion is so universally appealing than former star of The Hills.

Let's find out if any of the other ladies below - Kelly Osbourne, Hayden Panettiere or Beyonce - and their varying body types can take her down.

Which star's getup has the most curve appeal? Vote below!

Whose outfit do you like the most?

Man.

We might have to start watching Heroes again, because if this future story line is any indication, the show is about to turn a creative corner and recapture the magic that made it one of TV's most riveting shows in 2006-2007.

Ha, we almost got through that with a straight face. In reality, the show will very likely continue to suck, though this cheap, shark-jumping stunt does look hot.

As Heroes spoilers have hinted for months, a Hayden Panettiere lesbian kiss is coming our way in next week's episode. The lucky girl involved? Madeline Zima.

Motivated by strong ratings urges and an exciting new desperation for publicity character, Claire opts for some girl-on-girl action with roommate Gretchen ...

Heroes sucks. As does Madeline Zima, with Hayden Panettiere's face.

Of course, the actual scene is likely brief and Claire is unlikely to go full-on G-on-G from here on out. But hey, they make a pretty cute couple, don't they?

What do you think of this? Just a cheap PR stunt, right? Do you even watch Heroes? Will you now? Prefer to just stare at some Hayden Panettiere pictures?

Comment away!

One of the lovely ladies below is 20 years old.

The other is easily old enough to be her mother, but prefers to date people around that age (way to go, Jesus Luz!). Both are looking sexy lately!

The Heroes star dared to bare all (or some at least) in a Caroline Seikaly dress at The Late Show with David Letterman, while the pop icon topped her lace dress with a cropped leather jacket for the Marc Jacobs show during Fashion Week.

Maybe Hayden heard Milo Ventimiglia and Jaimie Alexander are dating and wanted to show him what he's missing? Whatever the reason, fierce!

As for Madonna, she's the Queen of Pop. Her Madgesty, if you will. She needs no introduction and is rarely seen looking anything but fabulous.

Two women of different ages and similar fashion tastes.

The better dressed star is ...

Two cute blondes. Two NBC shows. Two gorgeous gowns.

That's where the similarities end. Katrina Bowden is a supporting player on a show that was just named Best Comedy Series, and whose primary role is to lob occasional funny 30 Rock quotes in the direction of her boss, Tina Fey, and act like an airhead.

Hayden Panettiere is one of the primary characters on Heroes, which is apparently still on the air despite the rampant jumping of sharks in recent seasons.

Both looked great at last night's Emmys, though, didn't they? Unless red on the red carpet is a faux pas, Hayden. Not sure about that. It's hard to see her!

Who looked better?

We're not sure if this is an upward or lateral move for Hayden Panettiere.

Having recently been linked to British TV presenter Steve Jones (and therefore receiving Pamela Anderson's sloppy seconds), the star is now dating Harry Morton, owner of the Viper Room and Pink Taco restaurant chain - and Lindsay Lohan's ex.

She's certainly not dating in her league. Personally, her choice of men is heading down a similar path as her career, which was looking so promising with Heroes but took a nosedive with ... well, Heroes, along with I Love You, Beth Cooper.

Not even Hayden Panettiere nude could save that epic crap-fest.

In any case, she and Harry Morton were spotted walking her dogs in Malibu yesterday. That's nice. Gotta take advantage of those leisurely summer days before she has to go back to middle school. September's right around the corner.

The lovely Hayden Panettiere turns 20 years old today. Break out the champagne glasses and the ... oh, wait. Don't. Gotta wait one more year for that!

She may blame the media for her tough life, but we're not gonna quit paying attention to this cutie anytime soon. With a face like that, how could we?

Here's Hayden at the premiere of I Love You, Beth Cooper ...

Leave a comment and send in your birthday wishes to Hayden, as the Heroes star is too young to booze it up, but old enough to have her heart warmed.

We are of the opinion that NBC's sci-fi hit Heroes kind of sucks.

Hayden Panettiere, apparently, feels likewise about our profession.

The 19-year-old actress has spent a lot of time growing up in front of the cameras, having worked in the industry since she could barely walk.

But she’s still not used to the celebrity gossip limelight.

She blames the paparazzi for ruining her relationships, most notably the one she had with Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia. Panettiere said she’s pissed by the endless cycle of the public craving details about celebs, and the paparazzi who feed it.

Not that she plays into this by posing in Details or anything.

Hayden at the Teen Choice Awards, hating having her photo taken.

“It’s very, very difficult and people have no idea what they do to peoples’ relationships. They destroy them. The paparazzi and the public,” she told Company.

“The public wants to read about your personal life, and the paparazzi give it to them by nosing into your personal life and saying things that are horrible.”

Sure, she's got a point. But she also dated a 30-year-old guy when she was 18, and stars on a hugely successful show. That's going to attract some attention.

Since breaking up with Milo, she has been linked to British TV presenter Steve Jones (age 32, for those keeping score). She's sported some bikinis and a misspelled tattoo lately, both of which are going to be magnets for attention, too!

Hey, don't blame us. We are just giving the public (who buys tickets to her movies) what it wants. Check out more of our beautiful Hayden Panettiere photos!

The 2009 Teen Choice Awards were taped last night (the broadcast is this evening), and treated us to an eye-popping fashion bonanza as usual.

All of your favorite stars on the same red carpet? Holla!

It's up to you to decide which celebrities dressed the best, however. It's a difficult task, but we know you are up for it, celebrity fashion critics!

Here's a tough one to start the day: The incomparable Ms. Britney Spears against the adorable Hayden Panettiere. Both dressed pretty great.

Who looked better, though? Tell us in the survey below ...

Who do you think looked the best?

A coffee table photo book entitled Room 23, by Diana Jenkins and Deborah Anderson, apparently exists. Which we did not know until a few minutes ago to be honest, but it still sounds awesome, because it has Hayden Panettiere pictures.

The book also features the likes of George Clooney, Lindsay Lohan, Kid Rock, Sharon Stone, James Blunt, Cindy Crawford, Elton John in sexy photos like this one.

We don't know what you call this outfit Hayden Panettiere is wearing, but we could get used to it. Maybe this will be the next truly terrific fashion statement ...

OOPS: Hayden Panettiere forgot the back of her dress. Or whatever that is.

Here's another Hayden photo from Room 23, in which the Heroes star is being served up on a room service platter. Hotels should really consider this. We're pretty sure they would get a decent number of takers - and probably some generous tips ...

ROOM SERVICE: The book does not contain photos of Hayden Panettiere nude. However, slightly risque images like this are sure to please fans just the same.
