This picture is priceless.

Also, I can't help but think that her reaction is partially due to the horrific Clone Wars art that surrounds her like impending doom.

well all things considered i'd say 1.19 for hand sanitizer and shaking a few hands is a small price to pay considering you have a career because of nerds like us watching your show. unless you wanted a career making Bring It On 13: It's Already Been Brought It.

It's possible she just shook hands with George Lucas himself. He probably told her that she was the inspiration for Anakin's young, perky padawan Ahsoka, and then told her how much he'd like to adopt her. I'd make that face, too.

Don't no offense, nerds of the world.
She isn't that hot anyway, and her character on Heroes?
Destined for a kill-off, I hope.

The anti bacterial soup is for the eyes of any one that accidentally looks at her. It's actually quite considerate when you think about it.

Kudos to the photographer. That is Pulitzer prize material right there.

Neeeeerds! Neeeeerds!

That is indeed a genius photo...though it may be that she's realised what she's wearing...(what the heck is that thing o.O?)

Wow. Holy Way.

Screw a publicist...she needs a stylist.

Hell even I carry hand sanitizer at cons. A lot of guys seem to thing things like hygene (washing) and social behavior (picking your nose in public, digging in your teeth, scratching your armpit) are things to be scoffed at.

There's a lot of scurvy bastards at a con.

Not that she's all that hot. I'd take Ali Larter any day.

Yeah, I can't get too offended by this. Even as a long-haired, sweaty, Scottish warrior bear of a man... I feel unclean just LOOKING at most of the people at your average ComicCon in Dallas. I can only imagine having to shake hands with most of the teaming masses.

Besides, for all we know that could have been taken after she had some 400 pound guy in a Darth Maul suit made for a 200 pound man tried to kiss her hand.

Um... it's Panettiere. Surely nerds are sticklers for accuracy.

And frankly, if I had to hang around a bunch of folks like that I'd get some handwash as well. Hell, I want some just posting on this thread.

If that was tough for her, she ought to steer clear of the cons in Cloud City... they're enough to make a bantha uncomfortable! LooL361

I don't blame her. I won't even shake hands in church. People are freaking dirty.

Frankly, after shaking 200 hands, I'd be reaching for the Purell too. Nerds or no nerds.

I love this picture.

Comic con can top any market day in Bangladesh in terms of crowds and odour. It's a little too much nerd for me to handle and I are one.

Take a good long look at this picture, Hayden. This is what you are going to look like ALL THE TIME in about 10 years and Milo will probably age well, dump your fugly, high-maintenance ass and hook up with a NEW 20 year old starlet....

Hey...some nerds still have poor hygiene. Apparently she's not invulnerable after all.

She had probably just shook hands with THIS GUY:

We took the train from L.A. to Comic-Con this year. Hayden may be mad because she was on the train also...and no one knew who she was. One guy told us who she was, after she passed by one her way to the club car, and everyone sitting around him had the same response..."Who the hell is Hayden Pantierre?"

Ummm, wouldn't you want to wash your hands after shaking hands of thousands of people you don't even know? I mean with all the germs going around, why not keep clean? I'm sure it's not because of the "nerds" I'm not a celebrity and you better believe after shaking hands with tons of people I would do the same thing!

Come on people. Too many assumptions over a pic.

Considering the Milo Ventimehamenahamena lightsaber video you posted recently, I dare say she's not sanitizing the nerd-love. If she can snog with *that* hot nerd mess, nothing can phaser. Get it...phaser...faze her...

You have full permission to shoot me.

Hahahahahah funny pic, funny face. Funny. Wonder who gave the cheerleader the stink palm.

To be fair, we all know where our hands have been.. maybe she does too?

She shakes hands with her left hand, then points the sanitizer bottle at the black object on the white surface? Riiiiight.

What the original caption actually said was "Hayden Pantierre prepares to repel alien tentacles at Comic Con after slurring 'There's so much alcohol in this little bottle of Clear Light that I bet you could kill an Arac Attack spider with one squirt! But you'd have to pay me to actually do it."

Come on! Give her a break. Perhaps she has a ripping case of the herps and was disinfecting her hands so as not to infect others.

Meh. I am about as bad as blokes get in the handwashing department, but if I had to shake so many different people's hands, I'd be doing the same thing.

OTOH, I would hate to be the last person to shake her hand before she washes them... very hard to not take personally I imagine.

She is BEAUTIFULL = !! I love her !!!

I gotta side with what Zach said, it's gotta be the adoption thing. The camera probably would've panned over to catch a shot of a some odd 400lbs beast with facial hair only growing on his neck and one of those juicy lovely yellow heads roughly the size of ur average big toe right in the dead center of his forehead drooling over her sad excuss for a dress. I do so love Hayden but the clothes and hairdo's she opts for often are typically horrid.

mustve been an xbox nerd
