Looks like she pulled a Demi Lovato here! That is a pretty sexy shot though, so we are willing to forgive her...
Hayden Panettiere is in the August issue of Details, and the starlet talks about her rise to fame, being bullied in school and how she deals with the ever present paparazzi and media attention.
Hayden reveals that in middle school, she was punched in the face by "a very angry, very sad girl," and she was "tortured, emotionally tortured by these girls. Every time I came back from filming, it would be me trying to find my way back into the clique. And they weren't having it." Awww! And as if being picked on in school wasn't bad enough, Hayden has certainly had her fair share of drama when it comes to the gossip rags.
Regarding the media's scrutiny of her personal life and relationships (many of which are with much older men), Hayden tells the mag, "When it comes to relationships, it's nice to have something that is your own and not everyone else's. That's not part of my job. I never stood up on a podium and said, 'Vote for me - I'm perfect. I'll be this for you and never do anything wrong.'"
Concerning the weekly rumors in the tabloids and all the haters out there, Hayden added, "I learned the game. The more I react, the angrier I get, the more satisfaction they get. That's exactly what they want." That makes sense, but this next bit kinda left us scratching our heads. When Hayden was sitting with the reporter at a Hollywood eatery, two men approached the actress and asked for a picture with her. After going back and forth with the fans, Hayden agreed to snap a picture with them, and as soon as they walked away, she told the reporter, "I gave them a half-smile. It's a survival skill."
Really? I mean, being a cute, rich celebrity must be tough, but Hayden is making it sound like such a burden!

At 3:30am this morning, a camera shy Lindsay Lohan arrived at Sam's house with several overnight bags and a hoody over her lovely mug. Though it seemed like she didn't want her picture taken, we totally caught her smiling...maybe she was eagerly anticipating a booty call? Hey, nothing wrong with that! However, after a few questions from photogs, Lindsay got pissy and called them some choice words, and added, "You ruin people's lives!" Wait, didn't she ask the guys for help the night before when she got locked out of her house? Why the change of heart, Linds?
Anyway, after Lindsay tromped into Samantha's house, her assistant fetched her belongings and lugged them inside. Oh, and the best part? We got a peek at the adorable and cuddly Cadillac!

For the second day in a row we snapped Britney Spears' boys looking a little cranky as they were out and about in Paris. Hey, going on a world tour must be exhausting for Brit, we can't imagine how overwhelming it is for her two sons!

Despite telling ABC's Good Morning America that he never prescribed the powerful narcotics that may have lead to Michael Jackson's death ("I didn't give him any of that crap"!) Dr. Arnold Klein is now admitting that he gave the King of Pop Demerol.
Jackson's dermatologist told CNN's Larry King Live last night that Demerol was the strongest drug he prescribed the late pop icon, and he only administered the medication "on occasion" to sedate him. Klein added that he doesn't know how Jackson got Diprivan, an even stronger sedative typically used by anesthesiologists in hospitals.

Madonna and Mercy James were snapped arriving in Paris yesterday, and while there was a great deal of controversy surrounding the little girl's adoption, you have to admit she's absolutely adorable! We LOVE the pink chucks - tres adorable!
But doesn't she look a little overwhelmed here? Maybe she's just getting used to jet-setting all over the world with her superstar mom and having cameras stuck in her face?

Pete Wentz was spotted roaming the streets of Los Angeles yesterday afternoon, and while the suspenders and glasses are a bit wacky, what really sent us into a fit of laughter are Pete's pants. Or Ashlee's, rather. Aren't these slacks uh, just a wee bit too tight? Especially in the crotchal region?

Talk about Brad Pitt's worst nightmare!
Brad was minding his business and riding his motorcycle on Hollywood Blvd, when all of the sudden a crazy tourist jumped out of a convertible Starline Tours van and got in his face! The man (who was armed with a video camera and a serious pair of cajones) screamed, "Brad Pitt! It's Brad Pitt!!!" and proceeded to film Angie's babydaddy as he sat helpless at a red light. Geez, the paparazzi aren't even THAT bad!
Brad was cool with it at first, but then screamed out, "That's enough, dude!"
The guy told bystanders that the video was for his family in Europe. Hey man, if you wanna sell your tape, give us a call!
P.S. After Brad's breakdown drama last week, and now this, maybe he'll ditch the bike for a while?
