Just returned from another whale-saving trip to Washington DC, Hayden Panettiere headed out for a little shopping at trendy clothes boutique Rumor in Sherman Oaks on Wednesday (October 29).

While there, the “Heroes” hottie tried on a variety of hats, scarves and outfits, helped by her mother Lesley and younger brother Jansen, who also chose outfits for himself.

Also of note, Hayden was sporting a brand new tattoo, which could partially be made out as “Vivere”, meaning “to live” in Italian, the country of Hayden’s ancestors.

As for her Save the Whales! campaign, Panettiere just recently put out a video asking that her fans sign a Whaleman Foundation petition to outlaw whale fishing and enforce the global whaling moratorium.

According to reports, “She hopes to encourage one million people to sign the petition which she plans to present to the International Whaling Commission at a key meeting next year (09) to decide whether whales should be hunted.”
