Heroes starlet Hayden Panettiere’s dad gets out of jail
The father of starlet Hayden Panettiere is out on $50,000 bail after that incident in L.A. in the wee hours of Monday morning.
Alan Panettiere, known as Skip, has been charged with felony domestic violence after allegedly whacking Lesley Panettiere, Hayden’s mom, in the face with a closed fist three times at their home. He spent about 10 hours in the slammer until somebody rustled up the bail money.
The alleged blow was allegedly struck during an alleged argument after an evening at some benefit dinner or other, of which Hayden was the hostess. The website www.tmz.com, which usually gets these things right, says a lot of alcohol was involved, on both sides. Alan is a retired N.Y. City fireman.
Scarlett Johansson tells Hello! mag that she’s in no hurry to marry her fiancé Ryan Reynolds. She likes being “young and engaged” and says “we’re just enjoying our time. We’re just recently - very recently - engaged. So… we’re just taking it easy. And no big plan yet. I mean, I’m 23. There’s no reason to rush into it. Everything feels very natural and relaxed.”
Hmm. If I were Ryan I wouldn’t like the sound of that.

Remember Lisa Snowdon? British model? Went out with George Clooney for a while? They broke up five years ago, though she’s seen him on and off since.
Well, now she’s a judge on Britain’s Next Top Model, and she told The Sun tabloid that men she meets are still intimidated - not by her good looks but by her ex.
She is “starting to think I may never have sex again,” she told the paper. “I just don’t get asked out anymore. Men seem to look at me and think, ‘She went out with George Clooney, what chance have I got?’ ” She’s 36.

Oh, shut up: Shia LaBeouf was walking around L.A. the other day, his hand all bandaged up, in company with Isabel Lucas, his Transformers-sequel co-star who was with him when he rolled his pickup the other night.
They looked pretty much like a happy couple. But recently he told World Entertainment News Network that at 22, rich, famous and handsome, he’s “enjoying myself. But I’m not great with women, dude. I’m not a closer. I can chat all night long, but I’m not the guy who goes, ‘Okay, back to my room.’ I’ve never been that way.”
That sound you hear is half the single 35-year-old women in America, and some of the married ones, trying to find out this guy’s phone number.

Quote of the day: Alison Carroll, who’s been working as a golf-club receptionist, has been signed to be Lara Croft, sort of. She’ll be the spokesbabe for the Tomb Raider video games.
“I’m single and having fun,” she said at her press conference. “I’m not looking for a long-term relationship as most men can’t keep up with me. But playing Lara Croft, the sexiest game heroine there is, should get me a few more dates!”
