Hayden Panettiere denies wanting Milo Ventimiglia fired from 'Heroes'
Hayden Panettiere isn't too pleased about reports that there's tension on the set of "Heroes" with her ex Milo Ventimiglia.
"Milo and I are very close," the 19-year-old insists to OK! magazine. "We have enjoyed and continue to enjoy working together."
Earlier, the celeb rag reported that Panettiere refused to share the set with Ventimiglia, to the point of trying to get him kicked off the show.
Although the indestructible cheerleader Claire Bennet is an icon for the NBC drama, it's a bit of stretch to think that one person in a strong ensemble cast has the power to change major storylines for such petty, unprofessional reasons.
Check out photos of Hayden and Milo together on "Heroes."
"Heroes" creator Tim Kring confirms that personal reasons do not sway him or the writing staff.
"The final decision about which characters live and die on 'Heroes' rests with me," he says. "I've made no announcement yet as to who will return and who won't."

Ventimiglia and Panettiere had been dating publicly since late 2007 and split up in February this year.
Since the split, the actress has been linked to a string of men including rocker Anthony Kiedis, 46, her ex Stephen Colletti, 23, "300" actor Gerard Butler, 39, and actor/singer Jesse McCartney, 21.
What do you think? Should one of them leave the show? Who's expendable?

Lets see........ NO Must be a slow news day.
I agree E between this article and the Jonas brothers clothing line it sounds like a slow news day to me, but yea neither of them should leave the show
In other words she hates his guts but will suffer through for the nice paycheck.
I think they should both be fired
This is a created news story, old tabloid standard. Throw out a sensational comment, then write an article around the denial.
When a thirty year old man dates a teenager than he shouldn't be surprised when she reacts to situations like.....a teenager.
If anything, the producers should kick her off the show. Her storyline has been so boring after the first season.
She should be fired.
They should fire her... Her character is obnoxious and her storyline has been dead since the very start of season 2.
And isn't Anthony Kiedis over twice her age? Seriously...
I think they both should leave. What a bunch of bad actors!
