'Heroes' cutie
Hayden Panettiere is finally legal! Hayden was photographed last night arriving at LAX with her mother just in time for her 18th birthday. She was greeted by a storm of paps and fans, one of which was nice enough to give the starlet a bouquet of flowers for her birthday.
In other Hayden news, the teen starlet says she hates being patronized because she's blonde and insists that she's actually secretly super-intelligent.
She says, "I find it funny to watch people patronize me or think I'm dumb because I'm blonde and young.
"I know I have a higher IQ than 99 per cent of the brunettes out there. It gives me more of a sense of accomplishment when I achieve things after people have underestimated me."
The actress also celebrated her birthday by registering to vote utilizing the
Declare Yourself
campaign’s easy-to-use online registration process. Panettiere is an official spokesperson for the Declare Yourself, the national nonpartisan, nonprofit youth voter initiative aimed at empowering and encouraging America’s 18-year-olds to register and vote in the 2008 primaries and general election.
“As an 18-year-old, I wanted to register so I can vote in the 2008 elections, and “Declare Yourself” makes the process so easy to do,” said Panettiere. “I can’t think of a better way to make a difference in today’s society than by voting to make sure that my voice is heard.”
