Because Hayden Panettiere is so well known for her film work. Hayden didn’t go to the festival with Lindsay Lohan, she was just seated next to her to provide the above convenient photo op. This evening Lindsay Lohan is set to receive an award for her contribution to cinema.
10 more photos of Hayden Panettiere at the Carpi Film Festival after the jump.

You know, I love hair extensions and I think they each look great.. but next to each other like that it looks like they’re auditioning for Rapunzel.

She’s barely 21, hasn’t made a decent movie in ages, is more known for her arrests and addictions than she is for her screen appearances and she’s getting an award for her “contribution to the cinema” like she’s 75 and has had an illustrious career. What bullshit.

Is it me or does that kid sitting in back of Linds and Hayden look like a Culkin?

Have you ever seen two more generic girls ever? I can barely tell which is which.

Why are they giving out awards for no reason? Lindsay WAS a good actress. It seems like everything went downhill after “Mean Girls” (the true credit for that goes to Tina Fey)
The girl had some of the best people in the industry behind her and she literally pissed it all away.
Hayden DOES look extremely pissed to be sitting next to her though…

I was just thinking the same thing, poor Hayden, having to sit next to Lindsey, what an insult..

Carpi o Capri ?
In Italia esistono tutti e due …

Awards have absolutely no meaning anymore, and this confirms it. Same with polls…fake, meaningless nonsense.

Look at Hayden’s upper body. She looks like an elf. ELF BODY, ELF BODY, strange ELF BODY! Mini hands

I don’t think Hayden HATES Lindsay? She just wants to be her own person and would rather have people calling her Hayden. In an Interview she sayd that she wasn’t gonna say anything bad about Lindsay, because hollywood made her life fall apart and that doesn’t make Lindsay a bad person. Look at this: http://img24.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=14083_Hayden_Panettiere_Capri_Party_4161_122_906lo.jpg
It looks like they are having fun together?
