Former Days of Our Lives star, Rachel Melvin has landed a role on the popular NBC show, Heroes. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Daytime Emmy nominated actress has been tapped to play Annie, who will mix it up with fromer Guiding Light star, Hayden Panettiere's (ex-Lizzie) character Claire. Thanks to Gary for the tip!

Hollywood keeps digging into the past as they search for the next big box office hit of the future. E Online is reporting Hayden Panettiere auditioned for a role opposite of Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford in the upcoming remake of Footloose.

Panettiere, my source says, recently sang for filmmakers (the new Footloose is being turned into a full-blown musical à la the Broadway version). "They were really impressed," the insider gushes. "No one realized what a good singer she is."

Do you want a remake of Footloose or should they leave it alone? What do you think of Hayden possibly being in the remake?

NBC is expected to trim the episode order for its one-time juggernaut serial Heroes from 25 to 18-20 episodes next season according to Ad Age. Perhaps the new slogan should be, "Save The Episodes, Save a Buck"? No?

Seems like Heroes and former Guiding Light (ex-Lizzie) star, Hayden Panettiere has gotten over her recent break up with co-star Milo Ventimiglia by spending time with Days of Our Lives cutie Darin Brooks (Max). The two were spotted at LAX today. Now some may say its a coincidence, but do the math folks. Panettiere attended a benefit for the Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific Foundation Honolulu. Brooks is from Hawaii— Honolulu to be exact...

Us Magazine is reporting that Heroes' Hayden Panettiere (ex-Lizzie, Guiding Light) and Milo Ventimiglia have broken up. Apparently the parting of ways came because of a "lifestyle conflict."

“It was a lifestyle conflict… (She) is young. She likes to go out in the Hollywood scene and that’s not his style. (Ventimiglia) has been concentrating on work, on his production company,” an Us Magazine insider has revealed.

Let's hope the Hollywood scene doesn't entice Hayden to much. She's a good actress, but I'd hate to see her end up like Lindsay Lohan or Mischa Barton.

At 19, Hayden is 12 years younger than the 31-year old Milo.

First she pimped Candie's and now Hayden has The Hayden Clutch by Dooney & Bourke.

The Hayden Clutch is made from Italian calfskin and comes with a 24-carat gold plated lion head, inspired by the Heroes star’s zodiac sign, the Leo. You can pick it up at your neighborhood Dooney & Bourke store next month, for the oh so cheap price tag of $295.

Love it!

Hate it!

Following in the footsteps of her hilarious Muzzler PSA with Jessica Alba encouraging people to vote, Hayden Panettiere is back with a new PSA. This one "encourages" people to vote for John McCain.

Warning: If you're a John McCain fan you may want to avoid watching this clip.

The gossip blogs are ablaze with reports that Heroes starlet Hayden Panittiere (ex-Lizzie, Guiding Light; ex-Sarah, One Life to Live) was spotted flirting and exchanging digits with Los Angeles Lakers player Lamar Odom after a Jay-Z concert at the Palladium this past Wednesday. Now of course this could all be innocent. No need for Panittiere's beau/co-star Milo Ventimiglia to panic. Maybe she just wants a little help with her jump shot?

Ok, now this is hilarious. Jessica Alba, Heroes' Hayden Panettiere and 90210's Tristan Wilds are encouraging people young people to vote in this, did I say this already, hilarious infommercial/PSA for the The Muzzler.
