Heroes star Hayden Panettiere has slammed journalists for reporting inaccurate stories of her love life - insisting almost everything written about her in the press is false.

Panettiere, 18, is currently dating her Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia, and has previously been linked to reality TV star Stephen Coletti - but she's fed up of her romantic liaisons taking precedence in the media over her acting career.

She says, "Nothing is private. And when they write about you, it's almost always completely false. I've never been pregnant, I've never moved in with somebody.

"There was a story about somebody giving me a ring that had 'Sweet like Hayden' engraved on it, and that person was like, `Eww, I would never give you that.' And I was like, `I would never take that.'"

And the star admits she's found the perfect solution to avoiding the press who constantly hound her about her love interests.

She says, "I'll not comment until the day I die. I'm going to be married and I'll be like, 'I don't know who you're talking about. Who?'"
