Hayden Panettiere is aware that many young Hollywood stars get tripped up by pitfalls of fame – but says she’s not one of them.

“I think that people look at me as just another one of those girls who’s going to screw up, like ‘She’s going to get into drugs, and she’s going to get into the parties,’ ” the 18-year-old Heroes star tells Cosmopolitan magazine in its April issue. “I have the occasional glass of champagne when I’m celebrating something, but generally, I don’t drink. I’m a pizza-and-a-movie girl.”

Similarly, Panettiere says she does not worry about Hollywood’s standards of beauty when it goes to her figure. “I don’t have a model’s body. But I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat,” she says. “I’m okay with what I have. I can rock this body, you know?”

But there is one area of her life in which the pressures of being an actress can be tough: romance.

“I need somebody who is very secure,” says Panettiere, who is mum about her relationship with her Heroes costar, Milo Ventimiglia. “In this business, I’m constantly standing next to gorgeous people. My job is to make out with [attractive] men. Like, hello, who wouldn’t be completely threatened by that? But at the end of the day, you have to realize that it’s just a job.”

Hayden Panettiere is following in the footsteps a number of young pop culture icons and has partnered up with Candie’s. The blonde “Heroes” actress got all sexy for the promotional campaign for the brand, which has her wearing all kinds of pink, frilly girly clothes. It’s for their line for Kohl’s and it’s so sugary-sweet, it’s making my teeth hurt.

Here are some pictures from the Candies campaign party, which was held at Hyde. And with all the young, fresh faces on the red carpet, Kristin Cavallari, all the Kardashian sisters and whatnot, Johnathon Schaech looked a little worn down.

Moreover she has lately been working at her new album. Hayden is set to delight fans by releasing her much-anticipated debut album later this year (08). The actress admits she has been working on the record for the past three years, but finally got an opportunity to update her sound thanks to the Hollywood writers strike, which gave her some free time to experiment musically. The teen star first began recording aged 15, with her tunes appearing in movie soundtracks including 2007’s Bridge To Terabithia. But Panettiere insists her new work is a change from the songs of her early teen years. She tells MTV.com, “I’ve grown up a lot since I started.”

Everyonecelebrated yesterday Valentine’s Day, including the stars. So let’s see how the famous ones enjoyed the love celebrating day. For some of them, Valentine’s Day means a little more time with family.  And Hayden Panettiere was spotted grabbing dinner with Mom, Dad, and Brother last night. It figures out that being so occupied with movie stuff to try to spend each spare time with her family. And maibe another reason was that there is no significant other in her life?

The “Heroes” babe went out to dinner at the new STK restaurant in Los Angeles, California, accompanied by her mom, Lesley R. Vogel (a former soap opera star), her dad Alan Panettiere (a fire department lieutenant) and her younger brother Jansen.

And Hayden looked as though she was ready to do a little detective work, sporting a khaki-colored trenchcoat over her evening outfit.

It’s no wonder she wanted to spend time with her family this Valentine’s Day.  Hayden has been so busy with her career lately, having recently traveled to Berlin, Germany to promote her new film “Fireflies in the Garden” at the Berlin International Film Festival.
