Following our extremely popular contest, 'HD Hottie Hysteria,' we've started a new feature in which we will highlight a top female star every day. The gorgeous female will come from a program that can be seen in gorgeous high-def that very day. Today's 'HD Hottie' is Hayden Panettiere who stars tonight in high-def in I Love You, Beth Cooper at 10 p.m. ET on FX.

The 22-year-old actress, who was born in Palisades, New York, started as a child actress in such daytime soap operas as One Life to Live and The Guiding Light. She quickly captured a few movie roles (A Bug's Life, Remember the Titans), but it was her casting as the cheerleader in NBC's Heroes that made her a star.

Since Heroes, Hayden has stretched her wings, cutting an album and taking a role in the movies When a Stranger Calls Back and I Love You, Beth Cooper. (The latter is now available on Blu-ray.)

Hayden returned for a fourth season of Heroes, but the show was cancelled in early 2010. Hayden has been keeping herself busy filming Scream 4, which is now on Blu-ray, and last year she starred as Amanda Knox, the college student convicted of murder in Italy but who was released recently.

“Save the cheerleader, save the world.” That cryptic phrase might just ring a bell because about three years you couldn’t turn on your television without hearing it. That’s back when NBC’s sci-fi drama Heroes, about a group of civilians with super powers, was all the rage. By 2010 the show had fizzled but by that point Hayden Panettiere (the show’s super powered cheerleader, of course) was a household name. Now, Panettiere (who also starred in Scream 4 and Pixar’s A Bug’s Life, as the voice of Dot) is coming to the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo April 27 to 29 at the BMO Centre in Stampede Park. Other stars booked for the event include 1960s Batman Adam West, the original Nightmare on Elm Street Freddy Krueger, Robert Englund and James Marsters, better known as Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
