Wow!  It seems sweet little Hayden Panettiere is going the way of the all the Britneys, Lindsays and Paris’ before her and sexying up her image in a bid to gain more Hollywood notoriety. But I have to wonder, is this such a good plan Hayden? Who are these ads geared towards, besides horny middle-age men wishing they could tap a piece of that?  

When will these teen starlets learn from the mistakes of the past? It seems that anytime a young girl makes the leap from talented kid actress/singer to sexed-up Lolita only bad, horrible stuff follows; underage drinking, drugs, random hook-ups, sex tapes, eating disorders, rehab, loss of creditability. Soon the “celebrity” is more famous for her hard-partying ways and personal traumas than her work as an actress/singer. I for one am totally sick of these girls who are famous just for being famous.

I hope this won’t be Hayden’s future, but judging by the steps she is emulating, I don’t have a good feeling. How long will it be before we see a snapshot of her ‘pom pom’ on the internet? Two weeks? Hopefully this is a minor bump in the road for Hayden’s Hollywood career and not an omen of things to come.
