MySpace has partnered with Katalyst Media, founded by Ashton Kutcher, to encourage celebrities to record a pledge of service to President-elect Barack Obama. A video clip introducing the program offered examples of stars telling their plans to take actions that lead to the nationwide change motivated by Obama’s campaign. Watch the clip, featuring Ashlee Simpson and Hayden Panettierre making their pledges, below.
Hayden Panettiere is out with the music video to her new single ‘Wake Up Call’, the first release from the ‘Heroes’ star’s debut album ‘Falling Down’, due out February 2009 on Hollywood Records. Watch it via MySpace below.
Hayden Panettiere was issued a parking ticket in West Hollywood over the weekend, but a PopTV.com paparazzo offered to pay for the ‘Heroes’ star’s infraction. “Since she’s always nice, I offered to pay the ticket for her (like we’ve done for Jerry Seinfeld),” Steve said. “After swearing I’d actually pay it, she gave it to me & thanked me.”
Footage via PopTV.com has since been removed.
Hayden Panettiere’s father Alan was released on $50,000 bail on Monday afternoon after the 49-year-old allegedly struck the ‘Heroes’ star’s mother Lesley Vogel. A witness at Beso restaurant in Hollywood, where the couple attended a Hollywood charity benefit for the Whaleman Foundation hosted by their daughter, spoke with People magazine about what transpired before the incident. “When they were both about to leave, they had a heated argument outside the restaurant,” the source explained. “They were doing a good amount of yelling.”
Meanwhile, TMZ has footage (since removed) of Alan and a woman that appears to be Lesley walking together, with Hayden’s pop telling paps the whole thing “was blown out of proportion.” They also hear “both may have been drinking a lot prior to the incident.” Watch footage below. Additionally, footage of Hayden leaving Beso with boyfriend and ‘Heroes’ co-star Milo Ventimiglia as the bottom dweller paparazzi little respect is available via Hollywood.tv below.
