Hayden Panettiere wants Milo Ventimiglia off ‘Heroes’

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.
