Many men across the world are celebrating the 18th birthday of Heroes star Hayden Panettiere.  She is cute, sweet and a good actress but I don’t see the big deal about her.

TMZ caught the “Heroes” star arriving at LAX early this morning (she did the Letterman show in NY yesterday), where Panettiere looked absolutely thrilled (insert sarcasm here) when photogs reminded her that she could finally buy cigarettes.

She also seems like a very good girl from the interviews I have seen and read about her.  Hopefully she can be the exception and not the rule in Hollywood.
