Save the cheerleader - save your sexual orientation?

Hayden Panettiere who plays indestructible cutie on the seminal super-show Heroes is prepping for some girl-on girl tongue tactics as producers prep to drum up some Prop 8 theatrics for the flagging funny book skein.

According to reports, Hayden's TV bosses are planning some light leszbo liasions for cheerleader Claire Bennett as she gets busy with her collegiate roomie.

"It's just girlie fun at first," an insider revealed.

"But it might progress into something more serious. It depends on how viewers respond."

And Hayden, natch.
