Hollywood Gossip: Hayden Panettiere and Bristol Palin Pregnancy Prevention

Teaming up for a good cause, Hayden Panettiere and Bristol Palin attended the Candie’s Foundation town hall meeting on teen pregnancy prevention at The Times Center in New York City on Wednesday (May 6).

Joining the two lovely ladies for the day’s effort was baseball star Matt Garza, who plays for the World Series runner-up Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

As for the trio’s mission, Hayden, Bristol and Matt are hoping to “save even one teenage girl from an unexpected pregnancy with unintended consequences.”

A single mother herself, Bristol explained, “I’m trying to tell them that this is 24-hour-a-day job. It’s not like an accessory on your hip, it’s hard work.”

Meanwhile, Miss Panettiere added, “It’s a topic that’s not talked about enough. This is just a human thing. It’s natural, it’s what everyone does, but most people don’t realize how serious things are until it directly impacts them and their lives or the lives of the people around them, and I think this is one of those things where as a young female you go, ‘Oh, it’ll never happen to me, oh, it happens to people, but it’ll never happen to me,’ and then it does happen.”
