Even though
Hayden Panettiere turned 18 last August, we're wondering, is the
Heroes starlet a teenager or an adult? We ask only because Hayden is on the cover of
three different Hearst girly magazines for April 2008: There's
Cosmopolitan ("Fun • Fearless • Female"), which,
according to demographics, has a medium reader age of 31.5. But Hayden is also on the cover of
Seventeen ("It's Fun To Be Seventeen" —
median reader age, 16.5), and
that magazine's seasonal spin-off,
Seventeen Prom (median age, um, Jessica McClintock?). Are we supposed to believe that both high school sophomores
and career women in their thirties want to buy into what Hayden — and Hearst — is selling?* After the jump, we take a closer look at the differences in how Hayden is presented to the ladymag-loving public.
