Actress Hayden Panettiere’s father pleaded no contest to assaulting his wife, and he will get probation for two years.

Alan Panettiere was accused of punching his wife in the face.  Authorities allege he hit the woman on the cheek back in September.

Let this be a lesson to all of you abusers out there. If you hit your wife, then you will only get probation.  Geez, I’m sure that will really be a deterrent.

Actress Hayden Panettiere is rich, famous and has millions of fans.  But the actress still doesn’t have enough star power to get away with sneaking into club while underage.

According to E! News, Panettiere and six of her female friends went into a club through the employee entrance.  The problem is that Panettiere is only 19 years old, but you have to be at least 21 years old before you can get into that club.

They wandered around for about 10 minutes before a security guard asked her for her Id.  When it was discovered that she was underage, they kicked her out of the club and confiscated her license.

Police were called and the officer told E! News, “I asked her if she tried to buy alcohol and she denied it. Panettiere told me that someone opened the side door of the nightclub so she could go inside and say hello to friends, not buy drinks.”

I don’t believe the story that Panettiere told police. Seriously, who walks into a club just to say hello to someone? Although I don’t believe her version of events, I can’t be critical toward her.

I won’t pretend like I’ve never tried to sneak into an underage club whenever I was teenager.  She’s just being a normal teenager.  That’s pretty common.

Actress Hayden Panettiere’s father Alan Panettiere was charged this week with a misdemeanor count of battery accused of punching his in the face.

Hopefully Hayden’s mother has the guts to leave this volatile relationship soon.
