Panettiere to keep away from LA party scene

Actress Hayden Panettiere has vowed she'll never fall victim to the trappings of fame like her peers Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears - because she prefers quiet nights in to wild Hollywood parties.

The 'Heroes' beauty insists she leads a vastly different life to some of her contemporaries, because she is more mature than most stars her age.

But the 18-year-old admits she is partial to a glass of champagne, even though she is three years younger than the US legal drinking age.

She tells the US edition of Cosmopolitan: "I think that people look at me as just another one of those girls who's going to screw up, like, 'She's going to get into drugs, and she's going to get into the parties.'

"I have the occasional glass of champagne when I'm celebrating something, but generally, I don't drink. I'm a pizza and movie girl."
