How old are you Hayden Panettiere?

“Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere is a publicist’s dream come true! Her publicist’s biggest crisis management moment was an arrest warrant scare, which she was issued because of her heartfelt plea and protest for the dolphins in Japan.

   

She is amazing with paparazzi, she is honest and outspoken, she does not have a criminal record, she does not drink, she is studious, she saves dolphins, she puts boys on the back burner, she speaks out at philanthropy rallies, she sings, she dances, she acts, she has been voted as one of the sexiest, most powerful, and most beautiful by different celebrity magazines and she exudes smiles and “niceness!” She just enjoys life, and she’s ALL smiles. I have never seen anyone so happy! In public relations there is no such thing as “too nice:” everyone adores her cute, talented, beautiful self.

     

So, how old is she? 18! She is now “of age.” So, GQ had to snatch her up and add a new image to the barely legal newcomer…

     

Now we are all raving about the new sexy GQ shoot! Fox News even picked up the story. Within the Fox article they quote Hayden Panettiere saying, “You can’t schedule rehab for me. And I don’t think you can schedule any DUIs […] I think I’m going to be one of those boring girls.” I pray for this to be true! The fearless, bold beauty is a great spokesperson for her causes, and her actions prove and solidify her mature new age.

I think, at the moment, the pictures are appropriate only because of her maturity and her actions that accompany her fun-loving attitude, but I want to cling onto this rare breed for as long as possible. There are not enough role models such as her for our youth these days. Beauty and brains are rare in any setting for that matter. But, now she truly is the Jack of all trades. Her publicist has done a great job, and it would be a dream to work with Panettiere. Let’s just hope that she does not get tainted by all the publicity and the back-and-forth pulling of those around her much like what happened to our past pop-princess Britney Spears.
