Apparently, Hayden Panettiere is so taken with her new boxer beau Wladimir Klitschko, she’s telling friends she wants to make him her husband. The Heroes actress — who stands at just five feet two inches — was first spotted with the 6ft 6in man mountain in Miami over New Year’s. The couple went public with their romance earlier this week when they posed happily together at the Best Of Musical gala in Hamburg, Germany.

And insiders say Hayden — who has previously dated her Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia and Welsh TV presenter Steve Jones — is besotted with her new love and is already talking marriage.

“Hayden is head over heels with Wladimir,” said a source close to the actress. “She says he’s her dream man — tall, dark and handsome! She’s hoping to have a ring on her finger by the end of the year.”

Ukrainian-born Wladimir, 33, presently holds the IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight boxing titles. Hayden, 20, has previously revealed that she wants a big family.

“I always said I want four kids — I love kids,” she said last year. “I would love to be a mom and to have a family — for Italians, it’s the most important thing you can have.”

Way to go, kids! It’s all your fault that Heroes will be canceled! Well, not really, but you’re pushing it. According to the blog TorrentFreak, which reports on the Internet black market known as file-sharing, NBC’s Heroes was the most illegally downloaded television show of 2009.

The stat shouldn’t be taken as gospel, however, as the site merely lists the number of downloads for a show’s most popular episode and not its entire season run (not to mention that it’s tough to swallow empirical data from a site with “freak” in its name). Still, TorrentFreak claims that the most-pirated episode of Heroes (the particulars of the episode were not disclosed) was “stolen” approximately 6,580,000 times. That’s over half a million more than the show’s average TV audience.

Overall, sci-fi and action dominated the list of most-pirated shows, with Lost (6,310,000 downloads), Prison Break (3,450,000), Dexter (2,780,000), and House (2,590,000) rounding out the top five. Eight of the top ten entries were broadcast shows, and two were premium-cable shows (Dexter and no. 10 True Blood), indicating that TV piracy isn’t committed primarily by those who don’t want to pay extra for HBO and Showtime, but rather by those who don’t want to pay for cable at all and are willing to watch on their dinky computer monitors.

And while online piracy is thought to be the realm of the male basement nerd, both Grey’s Anatomy and Desperate Housewives made the top ten list. Either female basement nerds are getting into the act too, or the guys out there are getting soft. That’s what happens when you dudes gender-swap and level a female night elf to 70 in World of Warcraft.

Overall, the takeaway from these numbers isn’t that there are millions of horrible people out there stealing TV (a large chunk of the downloads is thought to be from foreign markets that can’t get the shows legally), it’s this: Television viewing habits are changing. Networks shouldn’t be looking for ways to stop illegal downloading, but rather to find a way to make it work to their advantage.

The list:
Show Title, Downloads of most-popular episode
1. Heroes, 6,580,000
2. Lost, 6,310,000
3. Prison Break, 3,450,000
4. Dexter, 2,780,000
5. House, 2,590,000
6. 24, 2,440,000
7. Desperate Housewives, 2,180,000
8. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, 1,960,000
9. Grey’s Anatomy, 1,740,000
10. True Blood, 1,600,000

The CW has picked up three dramatic pilots — including shows produced by Heroes’ Hayden Panettiere and Smallville’s Tom Welling, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Panettiere’s HMS follows the lives of a sexy freshman class at Harvard Medical School through the eyes of one of the female students. Amy Holden Jones (Mystic Pizza) wrote the script and will co-exec-produce with Panettiere.

Hellcats, executive-produced by Welling and writer Kevin Murphy, is an ensemble show about the world of competitive cheerleading.

Betwixt, based on the novel of the same name, centers on the “changelings” responsible for saving humans from evil. Elizabeth Chandler (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) and Paul Stupin (Make It or Break It) will executive-produce. (Source)

Hayden attended the New York premiere of HBO’s, “Temple Grandin” the other day. This is her first official appearance of 2010 and it also happened to be the ‘debut’ of her red hair. Head over to the gallery for the latest additions.

Why’d Hayden Panettiere ditch her blonde ‘do to become a redhead?

“Because I could!” the Heroes star, 21, told UsMagazine.com at the NYC premiere of Temple Grandin Tuesday night. “I was tired of being a blonde and being… you get stuck in one thing and known for one thing and as a cheerleader or whatever that image.” Continues Panettiere,”It’s fun to change things up, and I feel I don’t have to overcompensate as much personality-wise when I have red hair as I do with blonde hair.”

Panettiere says the new look suits her better.

“I’m typically a very fiery person anyway, but I just feel like cute and blonde and little is just so one category and one thing and changing my hair color, I feel like I don’t have to overcompensate so much for the fact that I don’t like being called cute or anything like that — especially being all 5-foot-2 of me,” she told Us.

The actress also told Us that she shrugs off criticism for dating older men. (She split from Milo Ventimiglia, 32, in last February, and is currently cozying up to boxer Wladimir Klitschko, 33.)

“It just happens to be the people that I’m drawn to, and you go, ‘How old are you?’ And then it’s like ‘Typical!’” she said while laughing. “It’s just a number and it’s just on a birth certificate and whoever it may be, older, younger, blonde, brunette….”

Hayden Panettiere’s new hairs are getting all the attention these days. Hayden Panettiere who is 20-year-old plays Claire Bennet on the NBC drama, “Heroes”. She decided to go through a drastic change by coloring her hair red. No body knows that why she suddenly decided to dye her blonde hairs but it appears that she felt the need for a change. It seems that the new hair color changed not only her look but also her personal style.

“Heroes” hottie Hayden Panettiere has locked lips with Zachary Quinto. Sexy cheerleader Claire finds herself kissing evil Sylar in an upcoming episode of the show, which has aired in the U.S. Sylar tracks down Claire after a tattoo of her face appears mysteriously on his arm.

But things aren’t quite what they seem as Sylar uses his latest power to read her mind by kissing her. Claire isn’t too pleased about the smooch from the killer who previously tried to slice her brain open and killed her biological father Nathan – and afterwards attacks him with a pencil to the eye.

Ask Ausiello posted a “Heroes” spoiler:

Question: Any Heroes scoop? —Adam
Ausiello: Just this one cryptic tease from my good buddy Greg Grunberg: “The only way to get rid of or really handle the evil guy Sylar is to get more dark and more evil than he is, and that’s pretty much where my character goes.” Parkman more evil than Sylar? Wow, I’m really behind on Heroes.
