Hayden Panettiere to Star in I Love You Beth Cooper

As all Heroes fans know by now, you can’t say “Hayden Panettiere” without adding “cheerleader”, so it shouldn’t be any surprise that a new teen romantic comedy called “I Love You, Beth Cooper” has cast Hayden as a popular high school cheerleader who is the object of boys’ affections everywhere. The movie is written by former Simpsons writer Larry Doyle, and stars Hayden as the titular Beth, “the school’s hottest cheerleader who shows nerdy valedictorian Denis Cooverman the best night of his life after he proclaims his love for her during his graduation speech.”

The Hollywood Reporter mentions that Hayden is “in negotiations” for the part, but when the trades report it, but it’s probably a done deal. Talk about perfect casting!

So congrats, Hayden. You gotta do something while this damn strike is going on, right?

Shooting for “I Love You, Beth Cooper” is scheduled for Spring 2008.
