14 DAY TRIAL // Hayden Panettiere, the young and gorgeous actress who won the hearts of millions with her role as the cheerleader in “Heroes,” the highly successful television series, appears distinctly different on the poster for her upcoming film. As The Sun also points out, fans who have seen snaps of Hayden tanning in Cannes this year can certainly tell that the movie studio went for digital enhancement of her bust for the poster of “I Love You, Beth Cooper.”
The photo that pushes the latest romantic comedy shows the actress in a very tight white tank top, smiling at the camera. While no one can actually blame the studio for making her skin and her makeup look flawless, why it needed to go and digitally enhance Hayden’s chest is highly debatable, especially since this one actress who has always placed a lot of stress on being accepted as she is. Then, The Sun says, it’s not like Hayden looks bad to start with (in any department), so altering her features was clearly not the smartest choice.
Hayden, who is as famous for her blonde sweet image as she is for her athletic constitution, has often spoken out against image-bullying, especially the one carried against celebrities who are asked to act as role models. She too has found herself in this situation, being forced to deal with heavy media criticism for her looks or, better said, for those little things qualified as “flaws.” As far as she was concerned, the star revealed in a recent interview, she had nothing to be ashamed of. Moreover, she stressed, she wanted people to know she was just a regular woman and, as such, she had her own flaws, including cellulite, but she was ok with it.
“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thanked God and my parents for raising me in a place that was so humbling and so outside any of that stuff. I mean I live criticism every day. I’d go walk my dogs and I used to walk them in my PJ’s and now I have to make sure I look half decent or else I’ll get trashed. Or like having cellulite on the back of your legs. ‘I’m sorry, I’m a woman. I don’t know what you want me to tell you, I’m sorry. It’s not going to go away. I can’t do anything about it. I apologize if I offended you’.” Hayden was saying in a recent interview, as we also reported a while back.
“I Love You, Beth Cooper” is scheduled for theatrical release in the US on July 10. So far, reviews for it have been anything but kind, with most critics deeming the flick too predictable and clichéd to be properly enjoyed, a regrettable blotch on Hayden’s resume.
