Hey there, Hayden

Hayden Panettiere is embracing her inner Nashville, including the rib-sticking cuisine — not that it’s hurt her sizzling figure.

“I don’t feel the same need to be stick skinny,” Panettiere, 23, tells Self magazine, about her time in Music City shooting ABC’s “Nashville.”

“In Nashville, you see women . . . who have voluptuous bodies and everyone is supportive. You don’t get the kind of criticism you might in Hollywood.”
