Hayden Panettiere Wants to Be a Lesbian

Hayden Panettiere wants to be a lesbian...on TV. The 'Heroes' star is getting bored of her romantic relationships with men so she asked producers to mix it up a little this season.

Panettiere, who plays Claire Bennett on the hit show, will have a steamy love affair with her college roommate, Madeleine Zima, in an upcoming episode.

She explains, "I kinda threw it out there... They (writers) put you in relationships and I was like, 'Can I just be with a girl or something...? Let's do that.'

"So they took it and ran with it. She's a great girl... and we have a blast," said her co-star.

Wow talk about stepping out of the box. Hayden wants to show the world she's not as goody goody as we thought. Bet it's going to serve for some great ratings!
