Hayden Panettiere has just hit the big one-eight.
So is she going to kick up her heels?
Well yes, with a b’day bash – but it doesn’t mean she’s going off the rails.
She told David Letterman on the Late Show: “I don’t think much changes when you’re 18 – maybe the way people treat you. But I think the only things I can do is buy cigarettes and porn and, if I get in trouble with the law, I’m kind of screwed.”
But she almost forgot the big addage… now she’s all grown up she has ammo against the rentals, so when she’s in a row with them she said she can say: “You can’t talk to me like that, I’m an adult.”
Actually Hayden got all serious on our ass and brought up politics.
It seems she’s rather excitable about being able to vote.
She’s already involved in Norman Lear’s “Declare Yourself” campaign.
Hayden explained: “It’s stressing how important it is to vote and to be part of your election, so I’ll be registering to vote.”
But back to the fun stuff…
She’ll still be having a shindig to celebrate her natal day.
Hayden said: “We’re going to have a big party. I think it will be my biggest party yet – except for when I was two, my mom used to get the big (inflatable) Moon Bounces and we had a hell of a party.”
Happy birthday, Hay. She joins an elite group of 18-year-old stars, who you can see in our gallery…
