Bell Serves To Protect Pal Panettiere From The Paparazzi

HEROES star HAYDEN PANETTIERE has found a great paparazzi foil in co-star and
pal KRISTEN BELL – because she’s always diving in front of the actress when the
flashbulbs get too much.

Bell admits she and Panettiere became firm friends shortly after meeting for
the first time and now the pair regularly hang out together.

And that’s a huge plus for Panettiere because the paparazzi don’t seem to be
interested in Bell.

Bell explains, “They never take pictures of me. I just step to the side (when
we’re out together), and I push myself in front of her when she wants to get
out of it.”

But even Bell can’t keep the paparazzi off her friend’s trail.

She tells Complex magazine, “I tried to drive her away … the other day only
to realize that I used my turn signal for half an hour, and I’m like, ‘God, why
didn’t I lose them? What’s going on?”
