'Heroes' Actress Rumored to Play Punk Legend

We can remember spending the months leading up to our 18th birthday thinking about all the things we'd be able to do once that magical day arrived, but, oddly enough, our list didn't include slathering our nipples in shaving cream and planting explosives beneath motor vehicles. Apparently, 'Heroes' star Hayden Panettiere has a different set of priorities, since she just marked her newly-legal status by -- according to rumors -- signing on to portray punk legend Wendy O. Williams in an upcoming biopic that will cover the late singer's traumatic teen years, her rise to fame (or, to the prudish, infamy) as frontwoman of the Plasmatics and her eventual suicide.
We aren't certain that the fresh-scrubbed Panettiere would be our first choice for the role -- for some reason, we had trouble associating her with the words "public indecency" -- but our sentimental side would like to transfer her 'Heroes' character's indestructibility to Wendy O. Our contrarian side, on the other hand, can't wait to see her wielding a chainsaw.

Can you say, "ACTRESS"? Hayden Panettiere is an ACTRESS. An actress takes on different roles, challenging roles, interesting roles. This role will show all what she is made of. It could be any actress's role of a lifetime if done correctly. Get a grip people!

Anyone who saw Hayden as a child on Guiding Light knows she can handle this. She is a natural-born actress. I wouldn't be surprised if she is nominated for an Oscar for this performance.

Actress or not...perhaps just by definition, I met Hayden in July and based on her rudeness and bad manners in public display sure she's a shoe-in for Wendy-O

Sounds like Jamester got turned down. Why do all guys seem to think that if a girl isn't into them that she's rude or something. How lame.

They are just trying to be the first movie to show Hayden nude. Hayden is stupid if she takes any role that will be sex scenes or nudity. But from her comments about Vanessa Hudgens, she already has that $lut mentality.

Good. She's hot.

This will be a large FLOP.

I want to know if she'll be doing WOW's famous ping pong ball trick.

"HOLLYWOOD"! THE "GARBAGE!PIT OF AMERICA.!
THEY WILL MAKE A FILM ON "ANYTHING OR ANYBODY"
THAT IS "SICK OR DEVIANT" AS THEY ARE THE VERY
SAME SICK AND DEVIANT PEOPLE THEMSELVES. THEY
ARE TRYING TO GET"NORMAL PEOPLE" TO ACCEPT THE
"ABNORMAL" LIFESTYLE OF DEVIANTS,SO THEY CAN
COME OUT OF THEIR "OWN" DEVIANCY LIFE AND BE
ACCEPTED AS NORMAL.

So, if you oppose young girls playing the tart, slathering their nipples, using drugs and committing suicide, you are a "prude"? Sprague's comments reflect a good deal of what is wrong with this decaying post-Christian culture.

Whomever is to play Wendy has to have a hot body and be able to be real nasty.Hayden cannot fullfill any of those.

I have been holding my breathe waiting for the wendy-o lifetime tribute. Who the hell thought this would be a good idea? And what num nuts suggested Paniterre? Lets just remember what happened to Britney after her movie dumped............

Why would anyone want to make a biopic about a freak? Don't we have enough live morons running around (Spears, Lohan, Hilton< Richie...) to keep us horrified? Next they will be doing a biopic of that pathetic blonde Anna Nicole who had nothing more to offer than nude pics and freaky shows. Just another in a long line of freaks who kill themselves because they are too weak to handle life.

Spears or Lohan would make a better Wendy O .. they already have the drugging part down pat.
Dianaat 10-31-2007
this was just a rumor. Hayden is NOT playing this part. Her rep confirmed it.
Damienat 10-31-2007
hey jessi, ur a completly ignorant fool, who knows not of what u speak. wendy o. williams is not some preppy stuck up little tart, shall not, cannot, and will not be compared to the pointless lives of hollywoods whore children. WOW is from the underground, emobodied the underground, and lived her punk life style to the extreme. she let no one stop her, meanwhile im sure u, jessi, have never stood up for yourself in ur life.

Good luck Hayden. We wish you the best in your new roll. Keep up the good work.
