No matter how rich and famous she gets, Hayden Panettiere still enjoys the simple things in life. And earlier today she was spotted picking up some cupcakes from a local bakery.

The “Heroes” hottie looked a bit annoyed with the paparazzi as she made her way from Yummy Cupcakes to her Porsche Cayenne toting a box of goodies.

Always looking her best, Miss Panettiere rocked a black and white striped tube top teamed with a pair of black stretch pants and black open-toed platform heels as she headed off to the Disney Studios.

Hayden recent teamed up with Jessica Alba to promote voter participation in the 2008 Presidential Election by filming a mock home shopping commercial for The Muzzler 2008, a Hannibal Lecter-style facemask that absolves Americans from their responsibility to vote.

HEROES cheerleader Claire Bennett goes over to the dark side in the new series of the show and kills Peter Petrelli – who is played by her off-screen boyfriend.

In the second episode of series 3 – which was shown in America last night – the pretty blonde (played by Hayden Panettiere) turns deadly when she cuts Peter’s (Milo Ventimiglia) body open with a blade and fires a gun at him.

The scenes take place four years in the future while Claire is on the run.

Elsewhere in the episode Peter finds out finds out he has a brother in the shape of villian Sylar (Zachary Quinto), who becomes good in the future.

And Niki Sanders (Ali Larter) attempts to kill herself by jumping off a bridge, but she is saved by her boss Nathan Petrelli (Adrian Pasdar).

Heroes returns to BBC2 on Wednesday October 1.

Hayden Panettiere looks ready to rough somebody up she walks down Melrose Avenue with a coffee drink in West Hollywood on Wednesday.

The 19-year-old actress, who rocked red hot lipstick, returns to her hit NBC show Heroes on Monday as her character struggles with her humanity and gift of invincibility.

Hayden also recently starred in a faux-infomercial with Jessica Alba. The pair tried selling a Hannibal Lecter-like restraint mask, which symbolizes failing to exercise the right to vote.

Cocky playboy Jeremy Piven got burned again recently when Heroes star Hayden Panettiere shot down his lecherous advances.

Star magazine reports: “Jeremy chatted up Heroes hottie Hayden Panettiere [at an Emmys afterparty] - who, at 19, is 24 years younger than Jeremy. ‘He was trying to be charming and kept saying he ‘wanted to show her around town,’” says a partygoer. ‘But Hayden soon excused herself and escaped.’”

See guys? Even when you’re on a hit TV show, chicks will still blow you off. Or perhaps Panettiere wants to eat at Nobu - and with Piven as her date - well, no spicy tuna for you.
