Heroes hottie Hayden Panettiere has revealed that she would love to have a lesbian love affair with Angelina Jolie.

The pint-sized 18-year-old - who plays indestructible cheerleader Claire Bennet in the hit US TV series - would love somebody to start a rumour about her sexuality and ideally would like to be romantically linked to the Mr. & Mrs. Smith star.

"Well, if you want to make me a lesbian, that's totally fine with me” joked Panettiere “That would be a pretty funny rumour. I'd love to have a love affair with Angelina.

"And there are other beautiful girls I like too - Charlize Theron, oh my God! Kate Beckinsale is gorgeous too, and Jessica Alba."

Hayden also took the opportunity to express her concern about Britney Spears saying she is "rooting for" the troubled singer because she was her "idol" when she was growing up.

She told America's GQ magazine: "That girl was the epitome of beauty when I was younger. And we built her up and just ripped her down, put every aspect of her life under a microscope - we probably made 90 per cent of the stuff up along the way.

"I can't even imagine if my life was like hers. She's someone that I'm rooting for, and I hope she can make that comeback, definitely."

So do we.
