Hayden Panettiere's Father Pleads No Contest to Beating Wife

Hayden Panettiere's father pleaded no contest Thursday to misdemeanor battery for allegedly hitting his wife, and was sentenced to two years probation.

Alan Lee Panettiere, 49, also was ordered by the Beverly Hills Superior Court judge to complete 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling and pay $400 in fines.

He was arrested in August at the family's West Hollywood home for investigation of striking the actress's mother, Lesley Vogel, in the face during an argument following a benefit event hosted by Hayden.

Shortly after he was released on bail, Alan Panettiere told Extra the incident was a "misunderstanding" and that "nothing actually happened." And Hayden Panettiere, 19, said, "It was blown way out of proportion by a sheriff who wanted his 15 minutes of fame."

In October, a judge issued a protective order requiring Alan Panettiere not to "harass, strike or threaten" Vogel.

As any new mother knows, it's not recommended to go out without a good maternity bra on.

While a backless, halter-neck dress would normally be last on the list of suitable clothes a mother could wear with a maternity bra, Gwen Stefani appeared content to show off her supportive underwear.

Mandy Moore Interview: Favorites for Fall Coach Handbags

Fresh on the Coach.com site it’s a live interview with American pop singer / actress Amanda "Mandy" Leigh Moore. In the interview she talks about her personal style and her fashion icon. She also goes on to say her favorite accessory of all time is a scarf, but she is "always with a coach purse." Really though, most of the interview was about her new album "Wild Hope".

Love the bag, hate the outfit. Why is it stars always feel compelled to wear luxurious designer handbags with their frumpy gym wear and flip-flops? It only rarely works. Unfortunately for Mandy Moore hers is not one of the ones that work, primarily because the pumpkin-red hue of her tasteful Coach Ergo crocodile purse contrasts too much with her baggy black sweats. Sometimes you just have to save the good stuff for the right outfit, girl.
