Hayden Panettiere, who claims that she’s not like the rest of us and thinks that the public wants to “destroy” celebrities, is continuing to give her ex boyfriend, Milo Ventimiglia, a hard time on the set of their show Heroes. Hayden and Milo split way back in February, and there were reports in March that she was trying to get him kicked off the show and refused to be around him on set. That’s understandable a month after a breakup, but it’s been nearly 10 months and Hayden still hasn’t found a way to exist peacefully at work with her ex. Her fat paycheck and Heroes’ low ratings don’t seem to be motivating her either. The National Enquirer reports that Milo is trying to be nice to Hayden on set but that she’s not having it and is giving him dirty looks, treating him like crap and talking smack about him to the producers:

“Haydens… never been dumped before, and when they resumed shooting the new season, she began taking out her hostilities on Milo,” said the insider.

“She’s been bad-mouthing Milo behind the scenes to the producers. She gripes about doing scenes with him and flashes him dirty looks when they are not shooting…

“Milo hoped they could maintain a professional relationship…”

When Milo tried to smooth things over with Hayden, “she acted like she didn’t know what he was talking about,” the source said.

“Hayden told Milo ‘Will you please get over yourself! Your ego is getting in the way of my acting!’”

I believe this story about a girl who once explained that she gives fans a “half smile” as a “survival skill.” She’s full of herself and she can’t handle it that she got dumped. How lame for Hayden that she’s letting it affect her work and is still holding on to a bitter grudge after nearly a year.

So I really don’t understand what the big deal is with Hayden Panettiere. She’s been billed as the new hot girl, and I just don’t see it. Thankfully, her career post-”Heroes” seems pretty bleak, and she’s not winning over any friends in the media with her recent Hawaiian childish temper tantrum.

Maybe I just feel so strongly against Hayden because she was publicly linked to my boyfriend, Gerard Butler, amongst other alleged conquests after her split with “Heroes” co-star Milo Ventimiglia. Now it seems that Hayden is so worked over the split that she’s attempting to get Milo fired. Ouch. OK! has more:

Heroes’ Hayden Panettiere has decided to take her bitter breakup with co-star Milo Ventimiglia to the small screen. Hayden, 19, is trying to get Milo, 31, kicked off of the show, according to a mutual friend.

“She refuses to be on the set at the same time as him,” the pal tells OK!. “She is making it difficult for everyone involved.” (Her rep denies this).

As for Milo, “He’s not going to play any games or stoop to her level,” says the friend.

Since the split, Hayden has been linked to a string of men including rocker Anthony Kiedis, 46, her ex Stephen Colletti, 23, and Gerard Butler, 39.

It seems pretty thin, but perhaps there’s something there. I would have given her the benefit of the doubt, but Hayden seems to be in a bad place as of late. And she’s pretty young, and this is just the kind of “payback” that a teenage girl would attempt. Like, “Oh my God, I can’t even see him any more, I’m gonna try to get him fired!” She probably didn’t even think it through.

The age difference between Heroes co-stars Hayden Panettiere, 19, and Milo Ventimiglia, 31, has caught up with them. Hayden was reportedly seen kissing Jessie McCartney earlier this month, and it now seems the couple have split. This could make things awkward on the set of their TV show.

Heroes costars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia have called it quits, Usmagazine.com has learned.

“It was a lifestyle conflict,” a source close to the couple tells Us, adding that the split happened within the last week. “They were in very different places.”

Adds the insider, “They are still on friendly terms. There are no hard feelings.”

The source tells Us that Panettiere, 19, “is young. She likes to go out in the Hollywood scene and that’s not his style.”

Ventimiglia, 31, “has been concentrating on work on his production company [Divide Pictures],” the source adds.

‘Different places’ is usually a line in break up talk, but this time I believe it. There’s no way a 31 year old man could be in the same mental place as a teenager.

There has been a consistent rumor that Milo wants to marry Hayden (they have been dating for a year, that’s practically a lifetime in Hollywood) but that she says she isn’t ready. Hayden presents herself as a mature, classy young actress, and hasn’t been pictured stumbling drunkenly out of clubs. Her image didn’t sustain any kind of damage even during her parents domestic altercation.

Milo in the past has dated Alexia Bledel, he played her romantic interest on Gilmore Girls, then left the show and they broke up at the same time, after 3 years of dating. The last outing I can find of Milo and Hayden is in early December where they were pictured together on the Heroes set.

The relationship between Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia must be on the fritz. Either that or they’ve quietly broken up, because Hayden was spotted making out with singer/actor Jesse McCartney in a big way.

We’re seven hours late for work today because we partied at Crown Bar until we passed out – no, not from drinking, from shock. It happened right after we saw 19-year-old Hayden Panettierre ALL OVER Jesse McCartney.

And when we say ALL OVER, that’s exactly what we mean. She was holding him tighter than Michael Phelps gripping that bong. The Heroes star was sitting on Jesse’s lap while he kissed her neck. Then she got up and did some crazy sexy dance in his lap.

So, it looks like goodbye Milo!

It must be over between Hayden and her long-time squeeze Milo Ventimigla, 31, because after her inside PDA with Jesse, 21, they went outside to smoke and he wrapped his arms around her from behind and was kissing her neck again. (It started to look like an episode of True Blood; dude has some sort of next fixation for sure.)

In the middle of this, a girl approached Hayden to ask for her autograph on the back of a store receipt. Hayden was nice enough to oblige.

Girl, don’t even try to talk your way out of this with Milo. That is, of course, if he’s still in the picture. We saw it with our own bloodshot eyes.

While I like Milo Ventimiglia, he’s 31, and Hayden’s only 19. Jesse McCartney is 21, so he’s definitely more age-appropriate for her. There’s also been a lot of talk that Milo wanted to get engaged to Hayden. Which makes perfect sense for someone his age, but not for someone who’s 19.

I really hope they had already broken up, otherwise hearing that your girlfriend is exchanging saliva with some C-list singer has got to be an extra big jolt. Even though their age difference is fairly significant – at least for this point in their lives – Hayden and Milo always struck me as cute together, and they didn’t exploit their relationship for publicity. Maybe this one just a one-night mistake.

Hayden Panettiere skyrocketed to fame as the center of the TV show Heroes’ enigmatic tagline “Save the cheerleader, save the world.” Her long blonde hair and blue eyes personified the perfect American girl-next-door – except her character Claire can’t be injured.

Some TV stars have contracts that forbid them from cutting their hair (think David Krumholtz of Numb3rs). Hayden apparently doesn’t have such a contract. Earlier this year, she showed off a new short haircut that accentuates her perfect cheekbones, but is also costing the producers of Heroes a lot of money, according to In Touch.

The 19-year-old debuted a cropped bob back in June, but it clashed with what’s happening on-screen. “They need her to have long hair for her character,” an insider on the set tells In Touch, adding that for continuity, the show has had to dish out lots of cash for hairpieces. “They’re made of real hair so they’re costing at least $6,000 for every fitting.”

Heroes’ debut season was phenomenal, but since then the show has been losing viewers due to the addition of too many characters and convoluted plotlines. Two of the show’s producers were recently fired due to “creative differences.”

On the personal front, Hayden and costar Milo Ventimiglia are moving in together, according to Star.

Hayden recently plunked down $2.6 million for a three-bedroom, three-bath house high in the Hollywood Hills and has asked her 12-year-older Heroes costar Milo to be her roomie! “She’s very much in love with him and wants him around all the time,” says an insider. “This way, they can even carpool to the set together.” Even Hayden’s mom, Lesley, has come around to the idea. “She lives down the street from Hayden, so she can keep an eye on her,” adds the insider. “Hayden’s a good kid. She’s not going to do anything wild.”

Hayden seems to be the rare teen star who isn’t always in the tabloids for drugs, partying and dating a new guy every other week. Maybe that maturity will help “Halo” stay a couple, despite the age difference. But I’m cynical, especially when Heroes goes off the air and she remains the more famous of the two. Hollywood is notoriously hard on star couples, even ones angelically nicknamed “Halo.”

In Touch magazine claims that Heroes actor Milo Ventimiglia, 31, is going to ask girlfriend and co-star Hayden Panettiere, 18, to marry him. The couple haven’t been publicly dating all that long, since Hayden only became legal last August. But it was widely rumored that they were together for a while before that. If she wasn’t so young, I’d probably say they seem cute and happy together, best of luck, etc.

Don’t tell Hayden Panettiere, but her boyfriend, Milo Ventimiglia, is planning to propose! The actor, 31, recently confided to a friend that even though Hayden is only 18 years old, he wants to get engaged, preferably this year. “Milo was looking at rings in late June,” the pal says. “He really likes Cartier and intends to spend around $200,000.” Hayden and Milo, who met on the set of Heroes, reportedly began dating in January.

[From In Touch]

I think January is when they actually kinda sorta acknowledged that they were seeing each other. I will admit that Hayden seems a lot more mature than most of the other girls her age in Hollywood. You don’t see her out tramping around like Paris/Britney/Lindsay. She goes out to dinner and shops and does all that other photographer-friendly stuff, but she’s never photographed falling out of clubs drunk, and I’m pretty sure she has yet to rack up any DUIs.

All that said, she’s still 18. Being more mature than Paris Hilton doesn’t make a person ready for marriage. If so, my cats could have gotten hitched years ago. 18 is still 18, and that’s damn young to commit your life to someone, no matter how great they are. I doubt Hayden’s had all that many boyfriends besides Milo. It makes sense that he’s probably ready to get married at his age, but even if she thinks she is, it’d probably be best if they gave it some time. Maybe he’s just getting her a promise ring or something else more age-appropriate.

GQ has a new spread and brief interview with Milo Ventimiglia. The photo section features the hot “Heroes” star in city and office settings wearing thousand dollar designer suits by Versace, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. He looks like a conniver in this photoshoot, like the type of guy you would want to sleep with for a week or two but who would be too slick to make a decent boyfriend.

In the accompanying interview, Milo, 30, doesn’t acknowledge that he’s in a relationship with his 18 year-old co-star, Hayden Panettiere, but he does say that the nickname for their relationship, “Halo,” makes him smile, and that he tries not to talk about his personal life. This is a departure from an interview he recently gave Cosmopolitan Magazine, in which he called himself single for the last year and a half and talked about the perils of dating:

Halo. That’s what the blogs are calling you and Hayden. Does that bug you?
You know what, man – it makes me smile.

If you two are dating, why not just say so? I read you bought the girl a ring from Tiffany’s!
When you’re in the public eye, you try to keep whatever you can private. People can speculate and talk. But what can you do – stop living your life?

Hayden was GQ’s Obsession of the Year. Did you like those photos?
Yes, I did. They were very nice.

[From GQ Magazine, print edition, April, 2008]

In the most recent issue of Cosmopolitan, Milo’s maybe-girlfriend Hayden says she has to date guys who aren’t threatened by her job. She said “I need somebody who is very secure. In this business, I’m constantly standing next to gorgeous people. My job is to make out with [attractive] men. Like, hello, who wouldn’t be completely threatened by that? But at the end of the day, you have to realize that it’s just a job.”

Hayden also said that she doesn’t drink and is a “pizza-and-a-movie girl,” and that she’s secure with her body the way it is. She said she doesn’t have a model’s body but that “I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m okay with what I have. I can rock this body, you know?” [via Just Jared]

There are all sorts of rumors that these two are set to move in together after Hayden was spotting looking at condos with her mom. Maybe she’s just ready to move out of her parent’s place and isn’t about to move in with her boyfriend yet.

Hayden and Milo will pose together while they’re doing press for “Heroes,” but both have stayed wisely mum on their relationship.

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.

[From Cosmopolitan, March 2008 print issue]

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.

The Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia conspiracy continues! For her “18th birthday” Milo, 30, bought his fellow “Heroes” co-star and rumored girlfriend a $1,950 gold ring. The two deny dating and claim to be simply super good friends.

“According to an insider, Milo, 30, gave Hayden an 18-karat yellow-gold ring – worth $1,950 – from the famed jewelers as a belated birthday present, since she turned 18 in late August. The ring, called Somerset Heart, features a woven band and a heart, and according to the insider, is inscribed, “Sweet like Hayden.”

The large age gap between the two has sparked a bit of an “ewww” factor at the mention of dating. After they appeared to be cozy at several different events the dating rumor mill began to turn. At the Governor’s Ball after party the NY Daily News reported that Milo cut Hayden’s meat at dinner. After the weird meat cutting the two danced as Hayden shook her money maker and “grazed Milo’s face with her hand.” Reps for both camps vehemently deny any romance between the two. Some find the belated birthday gift of a ring from Tiffany and Co. to speak for itself. Not to mention Milo’s comments before her birthday.

“Back in December, Hayden told USA Today that Milo was “like the big brother” on the set, explaining, “He’ll always raise an eye when he passes to let me know he’s watching, and that makes me laugh.” As for Ventimiglia, when the paper asked what he found “attractive” about the actress, he quipped, “Ask me Aug. 21 [Panettiere's 18th birthday], and I’ll tell you a zillion things.”
