Hayden Panettiere Explains Lohan Comment

Hayden Panettiere, who plays pom-pom princess Claire Bennet on Heroes, takes a stroll to Starbucks with lil’ brother Jansen and their two dogs on Sunday in Los Angeles.

The Heroes babe even noticed a cover shoot she did with her dog for Animal Fair magazine, while walking past the newsstand.

Hayden is so down-to-earth and recently told USA Today that appearances can be deceiving. “Paparazzi will take pictures of me coming out of a club, and they’ll say I’m partying, that I’m drinking underage at a place I’m not supposed to be,” she says.

“But they have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about. At El Scorpion the other night, I had a lime juice and Sprite, and I was looking at it thinking, ‘Somebody’s going to take a picture of this and say I’m drinking.’ So I put it down and grabbed a bottle of water.”
