Hayden Panettiere turned 18 yesterday & she was asked by David Letterman on his Late Show Monday what the big birthday means to her. She said she can now buy porn and cigarettes!

Hayden, the Heroes star answered: “I don’t think much changes when you’re 18 – maybe the way people treat you. But I think the only things I can do is buy cigarettes, porn and, if I get in trouble with the law, I’m kind of screwed.”

After a momentary thought, Panettiere added that one additional bonus of being 18 is being able to tell her parents during a fight, “You can’t talk to me like that, I’m an adult.”

When Letterman expressed some disappointment with her response, saying that he was “hoping for something a little more inspirational,” and asked about the ability to vote, Panettiere said she planned to register on Tuesday. And she did!

I think her responses are so cute and funny.
