No, they weren't K-I-S-S-I-N-G, but "Heroes" co-stars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia were looking pret-ty cozy last night after the Emmy Awards.
TMZ cameras caught the twosome walking arm-in-arm outside of HBO's after-party. When our cameraman approached the duo and asked if they were dating, Hayden got defensive, sassily saying, "I'm holding onto him because I'm about to fall over in these heels!"
The photog smoothed things over with Hayden by telling her she looked "gorgeous" -- Panettiere flashing a smile before taking off with her man co-star.
16. I don't quite understand people's problems with the age difference. There are age gaps so much bigger than 12 years in show business. I get that 18 is young, but Hayden's been acting since she was tiny! She's a lot more mature than most girls her age. And in my honest opinion Milo looks nowhere near 30. So the age gap seems a lot less than it really is.
17. Yeah, Hayden is "mature" alright. Most girls her age haven't even come close to being as "mature" as Hayden. And they don't need to be, either, that was Lindsay's problem.
19. So, do all the people who have a problem with the age difference here also have a problem with Demi and Ashton or Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas?
20. Oh, please, people. Hayden is a very nice young lady and Milo is a nice gentleman.
Hayden has been on television and working for many years, and I highly doubt she is "dating" Milo. I don't think her family would agree to it.
Why can't people who work together be seen in public without everyone suddenly claiming they are "dating," "going together," "engaged" or worse?
And what is with you women who must be so damned insecure that you have to tear down this young lady? Just because she is pretty and is on a highly-rated television program you feel it necessary to call her names, claim that she is out "partying" and will be the next "DUI?" It only goes to show how low class all of you really are in your own minds.
I have a lot of respect for someone like Hayden who has worked as long as she has and is still considered polite, sweet and is NOT a "Hollywood brat" like some. I really don't think she has dated every guy on the show, like one person has stated. Mostly because most of the men are married and. from interviews with these people from the show, they feel Hayden is more like the kid sister to them all. Some of them feel like "dad."
Yes, Hayden's character, Claire, was the focus of the "Heroes" program this past season. Who knows who the focus will be this season?
Claire never came off as a bad person, so how can you judge Hayden herself, especially since not one of you know her?
I believe Milo and Hayden when they state they are friends and not dating. And considering that most stars (female) wear shoes with heels that are anywhere from 3 to 6 inches high to look taller onstage, I imagine she was hanging on to him to keep her balance. Besides, Milo is about the same size as Hayden, so I imagine it was best for him to help her try and walk wherever they were going. If it had been "Hiro" (Masi Oka) would you have objected as well?
Milo's character, Peter, plays "Claire's" uncle. Yes, there is chemistry there, but it's the love of an uncle for his niece, not the sick crap you people are thinking about.
Don't foul the people or the characters with your words or actions. Just because co-workers are seen walking somewhere together does NOT make them "dating." It makes them co-workers walking somewhere together. End of story....TMZ or not.
21. I believe when someone dislikes a person and talks about them, it is because they see something in that person that they wish were or was not in themselves. So for everyone to be bashing Hayden, don't be jealous.
22. oh my gosh, please no. this is pretty much my worst nightmare. hopefully milo would have more sense than to date some one 12 years his junior. hayden is starting to get on my nerves.....
23. My husband and I started dating when I was eighteen and he was thirty. There was nothing weird or gross about him or the fact that we were dating. We are still happily married after eight years and three kids.
24. Okay, I love heroes and I love milo, and I even like hayden most of the time. And no, i don't usually have a problem with the age difference, but SHE JUST TURNED 18, and Milo is 30. I mean, if Hayden was maybe 23 and Milo was 35 i wouldn't care so much. Just because Hayden has acted most of her life doesn't mean that she's "mature." Being 18 and legal DOES NOT make you mature. I know I don't even know the girl. But I know 18 year olds. And just one more thought: I would hope that Milo would be more...discerning? when it comes to dating his costars. Especially now that he's on such a popular show. Does anyone remember Alexis Bledel? I would hate it if this all blew up in the tabloids/media.
29. Sounds like there are alot of very jealous females out there!!!! Hayden is beautiful and talented and all of you haters are just jealous, just like you were in High School
