Hayden Panettiere has revealed that she is just friends with actor Kevin Connolly. The Heroes star, 20, laughed off the rumors that she and the Entourage star, 35, are an item. She said: "I've known Kevin for so long.

"You can't have friends with the opposite sex [sic]. It's so funny. We're just friends."The pair first sparked rumors they were dating after they were spotted deep in conversation together at the Emmy awards after-party on 20 September. Panettiere split with her Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia, 31, in February.

Hayden Panettiere has been the center of dating speculations as the rumor suggested that she and “Entourage” actor Kevin Connolly are an item but she quickly denied the rumors.

The “Heroes” star was seen at the Neutrogena Fresh Faces Event at Los Angeles on Saturday (September 26). She insisted that she knew Kevin for so long and they are just friends. Romance speculations circulated after Hayden and Kevin were seen together chatting all evening at HBO’s post-Emmy party on Sunday.

Jeremy Piven must be jealous as shit somewhere because Entourage's Kevin Connolly reportedly showed up with Hayden Panettiere as his date for a post-Emmys party, according to Betty Confidential:

The 35-year-old Entourage star spent the evening with the 20-year-old Heroes starlet. Hayden certainly likes her men older. She dated Heroes co-star, Milo Ventigmilia, 32, for nearly two years and has recently been linked to business mogul (and Lindsay Lohan ex) Harry Morton, 28.

"Hayden spent her entire evening at the Entourage table talking to Kevin. They were there to hang out together and stayed for hours until well after midnight. Kevin only left Hayden's side towards the end of the night when he wanted to chat with someone at another table."

Meanwhile, Harry Morton, who has been out of town, was bragging to friends about dating Hayden. One pal says, "He still thought he was dating her last week and told friends all about her. Harry was bragging about getting her to do anything he wants."And that, my friends, is the Catch-22 of bragging about midget anal. Once you tell somebody, POOF! It's gone. Curse their tiny magic!

Heroes star Hayden Panettiere is rumored to be dating actor Kevin Connolly. The two hung out a lot at the recent Emmy's and were seen holding hands.

Hayden, 20, was earlier reported to be dating Lindsay Lohan's ex Harry Morton. However, Entourage (HBO) star Connolly, 35, fits Hayden's type as she likes older men.

She once said: "I don't date boys my own age. I'm looking for the right guy, I always said I want four kids — I love kids. I would love to be a mother and to have a family."Kevin was last romantically linked with Haylie Duff.

Rumor has it, Hayden Panettiere and Kevin Connolly are dating. Multiple sources have been cited as claiming the alleged lovers were seen spending a lot of time together on Sunday night, September 20 at the HBO post-Emmy party.

"They were there to hang out together and stayed for hours until well after midnight. Kevin only left Hayden's side towards the end of the night when he wanted to chat with someone at another table," claims an onlooker. Besides, Hayden and Kevin reportedly were also spotted holding hands throughout the event.

No confirming statement nor denial has been made just yet by both Hayden and Kevin regarding the dating report. Their people also haven't addressed the issue.

Hayden Panettiere previously dated her "Heroes" co-star Milo Ventimiglia. After breaking up from the actor in February this year, she was romantically linked to Steve Jones, a Welsh television presenter, actor and model. Most recently she was rumored dating socialite Harry Morton, the ex-boyfriend of actress-singer Lindsay Lohan.

The hit NBC series Heroes chronicles ordinary people who develop superhuman abilities returns for its fourth Monday tonight. During this upcoming season we have to ask if good will be able to outlast evil and will the future be able to be saved? Only time will tell.

Until then, here's what Hayden Panettiere who portrays Claire Bennet, a teenager who has the power of rapid cellular regeneration that allows her to heal quickly and Masi Oka who portrays Hiro Nakamura, a man who has the ability of space-time manipulation had to say about Heroes.

Eric Stromsvold: As we're going into the fourth year of the show, do you feel like you have a tight grip on your character or are you still learning things as you come along?

Hayden Panettiere: It's a little tough because even though we are playing the same characters, you really do have the whole writing staff taking us in whichever direction they want to. And on this kind of show there's infinite amount of possibilities of where you could go, whether you stay good, whether you turn bad [and] who you're working with.

Heroes favorites Masi Oka and Hayden Panettiere took some time out to talk about the upcoming season, specifically whats going on with Hiro and Claires new college roommate.

Last we saw our favorite Japanese villain-fighter extraordinaire, he wasnt faring too well with fighting off a sickness he acquired. Oka elaborated on his characters hardship:

Hiro let someone into his world. The first time he stopped time while touching someonein that case, it was Andothat was first time he froze time with someone else in that freeze-time world. That was started the adverse effect in Hiros brain. The power is meant to have a capacity of one. When you start adding Ando, Suresh, and other people into that world, it just a strain thats put on Hiros brain.

Oka also revealed that the dynamic between Ando and Hiro changes when Ando marries Hiros sister and harnesses his powers, It always changes, but once Ando got his powers, it was more equal footing. It wasnt more of a Batman and Robin; it became more of a Batman and Superman. Theres something to be said to be said about the familiarity of the characters and what the audience wants and expects, but we want the characters to grow.

Hayden Panettiere: It’s a little tough because even though we are playing the same characters, you really do have the whole writing staff taking us in whichever direction they want to. And on this kind of show, there’s infinite amount of possibilities of where you could go, whether you stay good, whether you turn bad, who you’re working with.

So it’s always a surprise. We know our characters so well now that we can see what they -- or figure out what they would do in these situations and go from there. But really you never know what you’re going to be playing.

Masi Oka: Yeah, I agree. And I think that’s what keeps it interesting and challenging, you know. There’s definitely something to be said about the familiarity that we want to give the audience with our character portrayals, but the writers put us in very different situations and combinations and I think that’s always the fun part.

So, we might have a grip on our character, like, as we do in life, as we grow, the characters grow and evolve as well, so there’s always a constant change and surprise.
