Following in the footsteps of other recent cover girls Katy Perry and Emma Watson, “Heroes” hottie Hayden Panettiere is appearing on the August 2009 issue of Seventeen magazine.

In the issue, Hayden shares everything from heartbreak to her feelings towards our favorite vampire, Robert Pattison. Hayden shared some inside info about her first heartbreak when she told Seventeen, “My instinct when I go through heartbreak or a bad situation is to talk about it. To just talk and talk and talk about it. But that’s me, that’s not everybody. A lot of people, you know, their instinct isn’t to talk about it. Their instinct is to bury it and to distract themselves from it.”

In the midst of posing for the cameras, Hayden had time to speak about her fame and how she is able to distinguish between her fans loving the character’s that she plays, and really appreciating her as an actor. She said, “People fall so in love with characters in books or characters in movies, like ‘Twilight,’ you know? Girls are so in love with Robert Pattinson, because he played the part. They’re in the love with him as that character.”

In the magazine, Hayden looks gorgeous while posing wearing a purple dress, funky shirt and a bright yellow flowing top. As far as what Hayden has in store for the future she said, “I love my job. Does that mean that’s the only thing I want to do all the time? No. There are a lot of other things I would love to do, and I will hopefully be able to do them when I have the time.”
