Hayden Panettiere Says She's No Lindsay Lohan!

Hayden Panettiere

Hayden Panettiere is no Lindsay Lohan, and she never will be, she says! She wants nothing to do with that kind of bad-girl image. Rather, she's a good girl and her secret is reading good books and having good friends with similar goals as her. Hayden told People Magazine:

"For God knows what reason, they compare me with Lindsay Lohan! It's kind of become, 'All right, you guys can stay there and try knocking me off my horse.' I want to prove them wrong now."

Specifically, she feels that she needs to be surrounded by good role models in her life if she's going to be a good role model to young girls who look up to her. Hayden tells People:

"I think that, now more than ever, young girls need a good role model," she says. "My mom always says, 'You are the books you read and the people you surround yourself with." Panettiere says those who surround her share her same aspirations and goals. And, next up? A singing career. "I've been working on an album for a long time," Panettiere says, promising to make "my CD as diverse as possible.""

Aww, that's cute. She still believes in old proverbs about friendship and building character. I wonder if she still believes in Santa Claus too. Okay, okay, that was mean, I didn't mean it. I just wonder if she really thinks about how difficult it really is to stay clean in Hollywood, or if she's just blindly following whatever her elders say. I mean, I remember when I first got to Hollywood, I was a kind, innocent little boy, and now I'm pretty much a lost cause. Yep, I'm bad. Real bad. Some people say I'm the worst they've ever seen. Oh, ladies... have my bad boy ways enticed you yet? No? Well, all right then... wait here, I'm gonna go smoke a few cigs and boost some cars... then you wouldn't be able to resist me, ladies. I'd be all bad, yet so hot in leather jacket and my greasy hair, leaning up against a car I stole, that's it, I'd have all your hearts in the palm of my hand!

Anyway, here's Hayden looking all cute and grown-up in a red evening dress out in West Hollywood yesterday. LAAAAAAAAADY IN RED!
