Although Hayden's mom forgave her husband and said their brawl was no big deal, he's still being charged.

Hayden Panettiere's father has been charged with misdemeanor battery.

Alan was booked in August, on a charge of felony domestic violence, for allegedly hitting wife Lesley in the cheek, leaving a visible bruise. They were spotted arguing at a Hollywood charity benefit earlier in the night.

Police were summoned to their West Hollywood home at 3:15 a.m. after the incident.

Alan is due in court next month. If convicted, he could get one year in jail. Both Alan and Lesley have been downplaying the arrest.

"It was all a big misunderstanding," Alan recently told Extra.

Although a police report claims Alan struck Lesley three times, the couple insist "nothing actually happened.

Extra reported that Hayden found out about her dad's arrest when he called her from jail.

If someone hits you three times, what's there to misunderstand? Shiiiiit. Do you need to be laying in your own pool of blood to gain clarity? How about being carried away in an ambulance for some closure?

If it took Alan decades before he laid hands on his wife, this is what he deserves - to learn his lesson via the court system. Eat it.

Hayden Panettiere's parents went for a walk with their dogs in Los Angeles yesterday, despite the fact that Hayden's dad Alan had been arrested the night before on domestic abuse charges.

Extra reports:
Lesley and Alan told Mario Lopez, "Nothing actually happened." Explained Mario,

"In fact, Lesley wasn't even aware that Skip had been arrested. Hayden found out about her dad's arrest when he called her from jail. They love each other very much and want everyone to know that the matter was completely blown out of proportion."

I don't know how getting beat down is sumthin' that's blown out of proportion, but when you've been married for decades, I guess you find new ways of performing foreplay that I'm pretty clueless about. They do look happy. Makeup sex. Hayden's dad was probably an intoxicated bastard at the time. Hopefully it's a lesson learned situation for him and he won't lay his hands on his wife again.

TMZ reports,

Alan and Lesley Panettiere were at a party earlier in the evening. We're told Alan was upset because Lesley was "hanging" with someone at the shindig and he felt she was "disrespecting" him.

Sources say, according to Lesley's statement to Sheriffs, the couple went home, began arguing and he struck her in the cheek. We're told cops took pictures and there are visible marks.

Paramedics advised her she should go to the hospital but she refused. Alan did not give a statement to the police. It's unclear if any of their kids were at the house at the time of the incident.

Hayden's parents have been together for how long, and her dad trips out if his wife's "disrespecting" him by being friendly with other peeps? Strange.

First it was Granny Lauren Conrad who took pictures with her prune skin, now Kristin Cavallari looks like she's on her way to needing some tightening going on in the lower region of her face and under her eyes.

Kristin Cavallari and Hayden Panettiere, who have both dated Laguna Beach hottie Stephen Colletti, share sweet secrets during a Candies party at Hollywood hot spot Hyde on Thursday.

I think folks should embrace the aging process, unless you really look bad, but it's fun to poke fun at these dumb hos, even if I have to exaggerate a bit in Kristin's case, not Lauren's - can't stand that bitch. And Laguna Beach is a boring ass town! I never really go there, and the way these sluts are aging, I think there's something going on in the water at the beach in Laguna that takes effect even years later.

On a sidenote, Hayden shouldn't go sleeveless. That look is not for everyone. She's still gorgeous, though.

The romance between Heroes stars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia has been an open secret for months �" in part because of their 12-year age gap."They were tired of avoiding questions and of all of the effort of keeping it secretive," a Panettiere source tells Us Weekly.

Panettiere, 18, who plays Ventimiglia's niece on the hit show, was also worried about her reputation. "She didn't want people thinking she is a 'ho' because she jumped from one relationship into another."

Indeed, Ventimiglia, 30, had a crush on his co-star since she was dating Stephen Colletti. "He always had a crush, but really let her know the minute she broke up with Stephen," a source says.

Since Panettiere still leaves with her mom, it's a good thing, a source tells Us, that Ventimiglia has her approval. "Milo is such a good guy, honest and sweet," says a source. Besides, says another source, "She is really like a 30-year-old."

Heroes' Milo Ventimiglia, 30, is dating barely legal Hayden Panetierre, 18.

Having previously denied a relationship, the two Heroes stars are now considered an item. "Hayden's mom adores Milo. She thinks he's so cute. She tells her friends that he's her boyfriend. She's very proud." On a December trip to New York City, Ventimiglia hung out with the entire Panettiere family.

"He's even met her grandparents. He fits in perfectly with the family."When the couple are together, "they're very affectionate and very comfortable around each other. He really takes care of her, even down to the little things like giving her a back massage and going with her to work things."

Hayden and Milo look hawt together. It makes me feel dirty all over, but for some reason I'm kewl with them effing. Why is that? They're both hot, they look good together. Am I that superficial? Ugh!
