“Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere may be a self-healing cheerleader on the show, but in real life, she could be even more exciting, People Magazine reports. The 17-year-old has started filming “Fireflies in the Garden” with Julia Roberts, and is getting ready to promote her debut pop album this fall. “With singing I get to be myself,” she told People. She also gets to be herself with boyfriend Stephen Colletti, 21, of “Laguna Beach.” Panettiere and Colletti’s usual night out consists of the dinner and movie standard, and Panettiere feels guilty about not giving gossipers much material to work with. “I had paparazzi on my street for a while,” she said. “I think I bored them to tears. I’m no fun to watch.” Am I the only one who finds self-healing cheerleaders interesting?

Isaac Hanson, the oldest of three brothers in the band Hanson, must have done some “MMBopping” with wife Nicole, because their first son, Clarke Everett, was born April 3, in the rocker’s Tulsa, Okla., hometown. “His birth was an inspiration and I know that his presence in my life will continue to inspire me,” the new father said in a statement. Let’s hope Hanson doesn’t practice “Weird” with his wife, ’cause who knows what they’ll end up with?

OK, I know I’ve hated on Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson in the past, but geez. She’s so easy. In the May issue of Playboy, Fergie confesses that boyfriend Josh Duhamel “dances for me in private, in some very interesting outfits,” Star Magazine reports. Fergie upped the eww factor by adding that “he bought me these amazing boots at the Hustler store. They’re thigh-high patent leather with a big long zipper. They’re hard to get on, but it’s worth it.” Fergie also told the magazine that Duhamel’s dances are often accompanied by her music, which she said is all his idea. “Make him? He wants to,” she said. Let’s hope. Poor guy, having to dance to “My Humps” all the time.
