Hayden Panettiere in a purple bikini reminds us the Nashville finale is coming


These are some photos of Hayden Panettiere rocking a purple bikini in Miami over the Easter holiday. She was seen on the beach on Easter Sunday, which makes me remember those days when I was carefree and single and didn’t really do much for Easter. It’s one of those holidays when you call your family but don’t feel compelled to get together with them if you’re a few hours away, not unless you have nephews and nieces or little brothers and sister. (At least not in my family, we’re not really church-going.)

The last we heard about Hayden she was engaged to her on-again boyfriend, boxing legend Wladimir Klitschko. US Weekly had the news so you can bet that it was semi-official, but she’s still not wearing a nice rock here, not at the beach. I imagine the engagement ring rollout photos will be any day now, especially since the finale of Nashville Season one is just around the corner, it’s Tuesday! I’ve grown really fond of that show and I’m excited to see how they wrap it up. It did drag a little toward the middle of the season, but the last couple of episodes have been excellent.

As I’ve mentioned, Nashville has also made me warm to Hayden quite a bit. She can act, and she’s made her character seem both insufferable and entitled yet somewhat likable. Hayden has made us care about Juliette Barnes as a person, and that’s an accomplishment. Of course she’s not as excellent an actress as Connie Britton, but that’s not a fair comparison. Along with having great characters, Nashville has some solid plotlines and catchy music (and I’m not even a country fan).

So here’s Hayden looking super fit (McFit) and like she’s on top of the world and she probably is. I also hope she’s elated because she heard the news that Nashville has been renewed. There’s been no official word yet, but it probably will be.

After I wrote this little story I found photos of her engagement ring via The Daily Mail. (They credit this photo to Instagram, but I couldn’t find Hayden’s Instagram and another photo they credit there is from her Twitter. So she may have tweeted and deleted it.) This is the same ring she’s wearing on her right hand in these pics. It’s a non-traditional engagement ring and is very pretty, with rows of diamonds instead of a honking one in the middle. Is it a real engagement ring though or just a “promise ring”?

    Okay who brings a big proper handbag like that to the beach? I mean besides grannies. Bless her little heart.

  2. Hannah says:

    Bolt-ons.

    • Devon says:

      I know, right!? It was the first thing I thought of, she’s got a wonky bolt on like Tori Spelling!

      • novaraen says:

        Totally noticed that too. I knew she’d gotten boobs because she was always built sort of like a gymnast. Sad that she’s got crater boob going on like Tori.

      • Noodles says:

        She is now an official member of the Really Bad Titty Committee. Those look painful.

      • superfly says:

        but I guess they paid off already… she’s got her giant back.

    • QQ says:

      YES! Super Distracting i was surprised the article didnt mention it!

    • Darlene says:

      What’s up with that divot in the middle of her chest? What causes that? Do not want.

    • RN says:

      I know, I felt like a perv but I could not stop staring at her awful breast job. They’re square! Such a shame that once again a beautiful woman has paid good money to disfigure herself in that way.

    • normality says:

      seriously. that was the first thing I noticed, and I couldn’t tear my eyes away. 🙁

    • Justin Beavis says:

      Ah, Stumpster, come to Beavis.

      Wait a minute! what going on with the back of your right thigh? Never mind.

  3. RocketMerry says:

    She’s cute as a button, but that bikini bottom is hanging kinda low in the front.

  4. Tanguerita says:

    her boobs look strange…are they fake?

    • marie says:

      exactly what I was wondering.

    • Essa says:

      They look very strange, that’s all i noticed. If they r fake, that’s another contender for the ugliest boob job prize of course besides LeAnn Rimes and Audrina Patridge.

    • Hannah says:

      Deffo. She’s got that “Tori Spelling-dent”.

      • GoodCapon says:

        I’ve noticed that strange area too. Is that what happens when you get implants?

      • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

        That’s what happens when you get implants and start off with little to no breast tissue.

      • Annette says:

        It’s a mild birth defect called Pectus Excavitum where some ribs don’t grow properly. Women often get a boob job to try to hide it but it only draws attention to it if you ask me.

        Looks like her implants are starting to congeal too.

  5. Mew says:

    Her boobs are fake, I think it was a big gossip thing years back when she got them.

  6. waitingforsummer says:

    Her right implant looks like the beginning of capsular contraction where the tissue around the implant hardens and causes the breast to become disfigured.

    • tracking says:

      yes, I thought so too. Unless you have a serious issue with your tatas, this surgery seems to cause more trouble than it’s worth imo

    • Celine says:

      That’s not capsular contraction, that’s rippling. It’s a common problem when very skinny women get implants – there is very little tissue/fat between the implant and the skin, and especially with thin skin, it’s common to see the implant rippling.
      I have breast implants and I love them as I had next to nothing to start with, but that plus low BMI causes some rippling to be visible on one side, especially if I use the pectorial muscle and it “pulls” the impant. Oh well… Can’t help.

  7. Gracie says:

    Even on Nashville she’s a pain in the ass. Is it ok if I go on. A Nashville rant? SPOILERS AHEAD
    First off, they shouldve dragged the divorce on and made it really dirty. A salacious affair on both of their accounts would make it really ugly. That whole Gunner/Scarlett kissing pissed me off. Now it’s gonna be all awkward. I wish Avery would’ve gotten really famous and then go AWOL on that producer. But, I still like the show even though they missed out on some great drama.

    • Kate says:

      The Scarlett character/actress make the show unwatchable for me. Dreadful character. Dreadful accent. Just awful. If they got rid of her and Powers Boothe, I’d come back, but as it is, I gave up long ago. I adore Connie Britton, but not enough to keep me watching.

      • Kcarp says:

        Scarlett got a record deal the other night and they didn’t offer one to Gunter (is that his name)..So I am thinking is this going to be just like the Avery story of all the boys are jealous of Scarlett therefore poor pathetic Scarlett can’t have a solid relationship.

        Does anyone else think it was so gross when Deacon slept with Juliet. I know he is supposed to be more seasoned because he has been around the block. But that was like pervy or something.

      • diva says:

        Yes Scarlet is so annoying! I love the songs her and Gunnar perform together. Juliette can be over the top but at least her character is interesting. Rayna is killing me! I want to like her but the character is all over the place. I would be giving Teddy HELL if I was her. I think the scripts are lacking a lot but since its only season 1 hopefully it’ll get better.

      • Gracie says:

        Really? I like Scarlett, she seems to be the quiet type character who’s very wise. I really can’t stand Hayden’s character. But she’s one of the main characters so they have to develop her storyline.

    • lucy2 says:

      I want to like Scarlett, but between that Muppet hair and how wimpy she seems, I just can’t. I do like the music they do though.
      Don’t like Powers Booth here either, but everything else is pretty fun. It’s a good nighttime soap opera, with great music. I got bored with Revenge, so this kind of took that show’s place.

      • Samigirl says:

        Give her hair a break. She’s a cancer survivor.

        I think she’s a bit of a wimp as well, but I think she’s sexy and I think Gunnar is sexy too. I like them together =)

      • Gracie says:

        Damn I don’t get all the Scarlett hate lol. She is meek, maybe she’ll develop into a strong southern woman later on. I disliked how they just glossed over her being assaulted. That could’ve been another strong storyline. All those missed opportunities.

  8. Anmelt says:

    Ok I am the only who thinks she seems like an ok person I suppose. I think she is very pretty and has a great smile. Hope the blind items are not true!

  9. mkyarwood says:

    I feel like the pic where he’s holding her really highlights her Daddy issues but, on the other hand, I love her anyway. Healthy body weight + wonky boltons = normal.

  10. moon says:

    i have her body type and it’s annoying! no matter how much weight i lose or exercise i do, i just look round

    • flor says:

      With age it will disappear and when you are older you will be grateful

    • Eleonor says:

      What’s wrong with her body type?? To me she looks good, except for the boobjob gone wrong.

      • TG says:

        I agree, she looks fabulous. In that first pic her breast does look like it has an implant but in the others it doesn’t. The celulite on her legs doesn’t bother me because one, that could be water, or a dsitorted photo and two she still looks banging.

    • SydneySpy says:

      Slim and curvy. So sexy. Trust me. I have sons and nephews, who have loads of mates, and most of them have girlfriends, wives or partners. Not one of them has a twig for a partner. All their girls are curvy – some slim, some not. Stop trying to be something you’re not. I’m sure that, like most young women, you are perfectly perfect and lovely.

  11. erin says:

    this woman has the worst style ever. It’s unforgivably bad given that she has so much money.

  12. Regina Lynx says:

    Man, her ladies seem to be in pain 🙁

    There’s something about this couple that, in my opinion, has always seemed a little off. Gee, I’m not even sure how to phrase this without putting my feet in my mouth, but here goes.

    He’s 13 years older than she is, basically, an established adult. She’s still in the age where you usually grow a lot and change as a person. He is also, well, huge, and could fit her right in her pocket. I guess everything combined (and especially after seeing that straddling picture) reminds me more of a daddy-daughter relationship than a serious love relationship where both are equally powerful adults.

    Time will tell, but I still think she’s too young to marry.

    • Boxy Lady says:

      I would agree with you if she were a typical 23 year old but she’s been a working actress since she was at least 5 years old. I used to see her on TV and in movies over the years all the time; she worked a LOT. I would say that she is more of an adult than I was at her age.

  13. Cam S says:

    This is totally bitchy, but I guess I’m at the website for it. Can’t these celebrities find decent plastic surgeons? I’ve had a mastectomy and my reconstruction surgery implants look better than most of theirs. What is it with all these indentations?

    • Darlene says:

      Seriously. My mom had reconstructive surgery and years later had tram-flap and BOTH TIMES her breasts looked better than this.

    • Joy says:

      I’m wondering the same thing! I see all these people with all this $$ lookin horrid and they live in the land of the “best plastic surgeons”. Yet I live in a relatively rural southern state and know lots of girls with boob jobs that look perfectly soft and natural.

    • Eleonor says:

      I think it’s the fat that makes the difference. You know celebrity and their sized zero asses don’t have enough fat to make their prothesis look good.

  14. Shira says:

    What’s with the insane stretch mark on her right boob?! And why are her bottoms so low at the front :\

  15. Shelly says:

    I was never a fan of Hayden until I started watching Nashville. She’s really good in it. I only wish her character was in every scene.

  16. Samigirl says:

    God, I love Nashville. I am warming up to JB, even though she’s a mega b*tch. I guess I can relate, having a family full of addicts. I really wish that her marriage had worked, though. I liked the football player and I would have loved to see her character try to make a marriage work.

    I’m ready for Deacon and Rayna to hook up and to find out who her daughter’s bio father is. I guess Deacon is too obvious, but it would cause some major tension and blow ups.

    I love Scarlett and Gunnar. Their version of the Civil Wars “If I didn’t know better” was so damn sexy, and they have incredible chemistry.

    Oh, and I can’t wait for Rayna to catch Teddy with Peggy or whatever her name is!!

    I LOOOOOVE Nashville!

    • Kcarp says:

      I love Nashville too. I think it has so much potential. There are parts though that kinda make you cringe but it’s new they are figuring things out.

      I never liked Hayden until Nashville. I think she is great on that show. I have loved Connie Britton since she was Tammy Taylor on FNL so I had to get on board with Nashville.

  17. I.want.shoes says:

    That is the tackiest, hoochie mama bikini. Combined with the botched implant job, it is not a good look.

    • Hakura says:

      That’s why I’ve always avoided string bikinis. The way I see it, you’re just asking for trouble (be it in the form of getting a string caught on something, or a particularly strong wave), you’re upping your chances of ending up standing there naked. Granted I know that wouldn’t be a big deal for most women who wear them.

      Definitely not into showing so much around the hip area. There’s just NO mystery left, everything on display.

    • TG says:

      I am laughing so hard at our description of her bikini and I agree. I am very picky about bathing suits and all clothes and accessories for that matter and wonder why anyone would ever wear a suit with fringe or anything hanging all over it. I don’t mind a string biking that is just a simple tie but this is ugly and tacky and so many celebs wear this kind of stuff. I always think less is more as in just keep it minimal.

  18. Jayna says:

    She’s fantastic in every scene on Nashville. Love that girl.

    Her boob job is great. She just probably has a mild case of concave chest (pectus excavatum). At least, her boobs are closer together. Don’t hate on this. My ….. has the same thing but more pronounced and even major, serious surgery (rod for two years) can’t make it look completely normal because of how severe hers was. But the surgery was very necessary healthwise, also. It was impinging on her breathing, heart, becoming very tired. People fly in from all over the world to the specialists in one hospital because the surgery is so major. Frightening time for my family.

    A boob job is just a way of hiding how pronounced it is lookswise, which affects many girls’ self-esteem at a time they are developing and don’t want to be different. One day …… will probably get one, too, for that reason. I’m sensitive to the comments making fun of women with it because of my family member who I love more than anything in this world.

    • Hakura says:

      I can’t believe anyone would make fun of such a condition =< I know some comments have been made here about her boob job not being right, but I guarantee it's because none of us either even knew about the condition, or just don't think of that automatically.

      I really hope … is doing better! =) That was a lot to go through. (My brother has CF, so I can relate to spending hours & days waiting while he had procedures done. It's awful.)

  19. Isa says:

    I think her boob job looks fine, except in the middle. I figured she had the same condition tori spelling has, although not as severe.
    Did anyone look at the photo of her from behind? Her thigh has a sharp angle on it, weird.

  20. A says:

    She has the weirdest body shape I have ever seen.

  21. Mr.Smurf says:

    Question…why does everyone say that she has daddy issues, since she’s dating a guy 13 years older? Why can’t it just be that she’s not mature enough to be with a man of that age? I guess he thinks she’s mature enough, he went back to her.

    Is there any dirt I missed? I think I read something about her having a strained relationship with her dad…but why does that translate into daddy issues? I have some issues with my dad, I love him, but if I dated a guy who was 13 years older it wouldn’t be because I had daddy issue. What does that even mean?

    I think she’s just immature for her age and gets carried away-hence the Ellen comments-I wouldn’t have said a word, I’d be too embarrassed, especially since I’m around her height.

  22. andy says:

    The only thing Hayden’s done that I enjoy is Remember the Titans. She does have a talent for staying in the news.

  23. KellyinSeattle says:

    She always looks like she’s happy. Seems like a nice gal.

  24. Mr.Smurf says:

    Also, I’m jealous of her boobs, even with the weird derpy thing, and the two (??) stretchmarks on the side of them. I wish I was that lucky. My boobs are pretty big, a low D cup range, and I don’t know what’s going on with my skin, but I’ve been getting stretchmarks from them continually growing. I guess it’s because I don’t moisturize as well as I should, but there was a time when I was putting pure cocoa butter on for a year

    …sorry for the TMI, but any helpful comments? I have really bad skin when it comes to stretchmarks (I got a lot just from filling out and getting taller), and I don’t feel very confident getting nekkid with anyone in the future, let alone going to the beach, wearing shorts…so please help.

    • Hakura says:

      My mom went through the same problems, which really affected her self esteem. She was a large DD cup even before highschool. I know she used lotion/good bodywash every morning & night, & tried to find the most supportive bra she could, even wearing it at night. They do have special lotion-like products specifically for stretch marks too, & she swears by them.

      I’m having the same issue with one of my upper thighs getting stretch marks when I put on a little weight (My thighs are where the weight always goes, meaning I’m tiny everywhere else, which actually makes my hips appear bigger than they are. I believe my reaction upon discovering them was something I can’t repeat in polite company xD) xD I’m going to try to find something to try too. I’ll ask her when she gets home & let you know n_n

    • TG says:

      I think the stretchmark thing is both genetic and a result of skin growing too fast or something like that. I don’t think you need to beat yourself up for not putting enough mosturizer on it. I think that is a big con they tell women so that the makeup industry can make billions off of us. When I was pregnant I rarely ever mosturized and I didn’t get any stretch marks and I know many others who lathered up every day and got stretch marks so go figure. But I am not giving myslef as an example to feel superior, I have ceululite on my legs and veins so I guess most of us have some things we wish we didn’t. I also think celulite is genetic because my 2 year old has a body built just like me and she has always had those little dimples in her but and legs when she presses them and that was before she ever ate anything even remotely unhealthy so a big part of all this is genetics.

  25. Hakura says:

    I know this will sound bitchy. Too bad xD

    First thing I noticed in these pics was something off with her proportions. I realized it was the spot between her neck & shoulders that bothered me. Instead of a graceful ‘slope’, she has the defined muscle sticking up that you associate with athletes & body builders. It just looks too masculine on her. She’s overdoing the workout, probably because of her fiance’s career.

    Second, girlfriend has got some ugly feet. I’ve noticed that a lot lately xD

  26. serena says:

    That photo is kind of disturbing LOL it looks like something else is going on.

  27. Fue McCormick says:

    OMG! … I’d sue the hell out of the doctor if that was the result of my boob job! Does SHE think they look good? If she does (and she must), she’s delusional. I’d remove them and hope the damage is repairable.

  28. Adrien says:

    She looks cute and happy. Her faced has matured – in a good way, as she no longer looks like a school girl. She has same body type as Giada De Laurentiis.
