The Panettieres: One Happy, Slappy Family
INFDaily

Who says Tinsel Town isn't family values-friendly? Just look at Alan "Skip" Panettiere and his wife, Lesley Vogel—parents to Heroes star Hayden Panettiere. Husband and wife are walking hand-in-hand just one day after Alan was arrested for allegedly laying a few love taps on Lesley.

The loving couple explained the incident on Extra, characterizing the supposed spousal battery as "a misunderstanding."

As Extra host Mario Lopez—who knows a little about misunderstandings—put it, "In fact, Lesley wasn't even aware that Skip had been arrested. They love each other very much and want everyone to know that the matter was completely blown out of proportion."

Anyway, glad to see the Panettieres holding strong in the face of this unfair media scrutiny. Don't let the tabloid vultures put a wedge between you!

Quotables /
“Within hours of Hayden Panettiere's father Alan posting bail yesterday for assaulting his wife Lesley (FYI, they were both effing hammered), the two went for a public walk together as a sign of solidarity to show their love is as strong as ever.

ALAN: I blame whoever thought it'd be a great idea to have an open bar.
LESLEY: Dear, that was your idea.
ALAN: Works every time.
LESLEY: What works every time?
ALAN: I dunno.
LESLEY: You put vodka in this Frappucino bottle didn't you?
ALAN: Yup.
LESLEY: God, I love you.
ALAN: What was that? I threw up on the dog.”

“Hayden Panettiere's parents put on a united front by taking their dogs for a walk - just hours after the Heroes star's father was released from jail for allegedly hitting her mother.

Alan and Lesley Panettiere braved a tide of photographers with a walk with their dogs near their West Hollywood home, confirming that everything was "peachy" with their relationship. It was just a few hours earlier that Alan, 49, was released from West Hollywood Police Station after posting a $50,000 bond.

Retired fire-fighter Alan is alleged to have struck Lesley three times on her right cheek with an open hand during the altercation (I can't see any marks, can you?). A sheriff's spokesperson has revealed that the pair's heated argument may have been the result of drinking to much alcohol at the glitzy benefit.”
