In the March issue of Cosmopolitan, hunky “Heroes” star Milo Ventimiglia, 30, is interviewed for the mag’s “Informer” section, but don’t count on any information about the actor’s love life, especially the status of his relationship with co-star Hayden Panettiere, 18. In fact, a “factoid” text box that overlays the actor’s yummy photo shoot identifies him as “single,” and in the interview, he tells the reporter, “I’ve been single for a year and a half.”

Do you get nervous on dates?

Yes. I’ve been single for a year and a half. It’s tough being witty for two hours.

Have friends tried to set you up?

Yeah, someone thinks you’d look “cute” together, but you share no interests and become combative [on a date]. You just wish you were home, scrubbing your toilet.

Somebody needs to let Hayden Panettierre in on that little nugget, because she is clearly under the impression that Milo is her boyfriend. The couple have been seen everywhere holding hands, hugging and definitely behaving in a way that is not consistent with that whole “We’re just good friends” line of crap Milo has been feeding the press for months. At a recent party hosted by Candies shoes, for which Hayden is a spokesmodel, Milo went as Hayden’s date to show his support. And I’m no psychic, but he sure didn’t look like he would rather be home scrubbing his toilet.
