The cheerleader sings … sort of
TV Squad reports on Heroes‘ Hayden Panettiere’s budding singing career:
Move aside Hillary Duff. Hayden Panettiere wants some of that hoopla too, and the proof is in her new music video for the straight to DVD Disney’s Cinderella III: A Twist in Time.

It sounds like Murray finally agreed to lend his voice to this thing just to shut Danny up.
