Now that she’s finally 18 and can legally… join the military, Heroes star Hayden Panettiere and her sexy image everywhere you look.

First there was her awesome Got Milk ad. Nice.

Then those steamy Hayden pictures in FHM. Yow.

Now, the tantalizing Panettiere takes a bite of the forbidden fruit (in a manner of speaking) on the cover of the luxury fashion and beauty magazine GenLux, encouraging passersby to “take a bite!” Well, if you insist…

Really, who wouldn’t bite Hayden Panettiere? Or at least buy whatever consumer product she happens to be selling this week?

Hayden Panettiere displays out of this world abilities in the hit TV show Heroes. As Claire Bennet on the NBC hit drama series, she needs to be fit and strong as a high school cheerleader … but more importantly, to help save the world with her superhuman healing powers.

But in real life, the all-American girl knows that being an avid milk drinker helps her stay fit and healthy. Hayden Panettiere is the latest celebrity to join the “Body By Milk” campaign, one created to encourage teens to drink three glasses of low fat or fat free milk every day (and eat right) to stay healthy.

Hayden Panettiere has got milk. And our undying love.

“You don’t have to be a hero to feel invincible,” says our girl. “That’s why I drink milk. The protein helps build muscle and some studies suggest teens who choose it tend to be leaner. Cheers to that.”

Cheers to you, Hayden Panettiere. Cheers to you.

What a girl!

Well, maybe not in real life. But Hayden Panettiere is seen here worshipping the Stanley Cup as part of a new promotion for the National Hockey League (NHL). Photos of Hayden and the sport’s holy grail were taken the set of her hit show, Heroes, in L.A. on Thursday afternoon.

Damn you, Stanley Cup… getting up close and personal with our girl! Oh well. We suppose there’s enough Hayden Panettiere love to go around.
