Back in the day, we interviewed lil' Hayden Panettiere for The Ice Princess, and in the two-and-a-half years since, she's skyrocketed to the top of Hollywood's A-list. But when you strip away the ever-present paparazzi and her Laguna Beach BF, Stephen Colletti, Hayden's just a normal 18-year-old (with a really kickin' job!). Find out who Hayden's heroes are, how she stays grounded in Hollywood, and what superpower she wishes she had.

Did ever you think Heroes would be so successful?
No matter how good a show is or how many incredible actors are involved, you never know what’s gonna happen or how the audience is gonna take it. I saw incredible shows last season just not accepted by the audience. It wasn’t because it wasn’t good enough, it wasn’t because people didn’t like it -- people just didn’t grab it. So it’s a toss-up. You never expect that kind of success for yourself, but at the same time, we thought it would do great.
