Actress Hayden Panettiere is hoping to shake off her 'child star' tag now she has reached her 18th birthday. The Heroes star hates being dubbed a "Hollywood baby" in magazine articles - because she now considers herself to be an adult.

She says, "I don't know if they can call me a child star any more. I'm an adult now so I don't think they would ever give me that again. I've gotten it before when I was young and it's a wonderful thing. If they tried to call me a child starlet now I might go, ummm I don't think so."
