Hayden Panettiere Tattoo Gaffe Is The Topic Of Conversation In Glamour (PHOTOS)

These days, Hayden Panettiere is getting plenty attention for both her role on "Nashville" and her rumored engagement to boxer Wladimir Klitschko. So it's no wonder she doesn't spend much time dwelling on her regrets -- specifically, that infamous misspelled tattoo.

The blonde beauty covers Glamour's May issue, looking summer-ready in a yellow Dolce & Gabbana two-piece. Inside the mag, Hayden talks about her career, the aforementioned beau ... and that pesky botched ink on her back. But don't worry, the 23-year-old doesn't harbor any bitterness:

“It’s Italian: Vivere senza rimpianti. When I was younger, I was upset, and my dad said he wanted to show me something. He slammed one door of the bathroom, and the closet door popped open—it was a trick with the air. He said, ‘Whenever one door closes, another one always opens.’ So my tattoo means ‘Live without regrets.’ It’s not that you don’t regret things in life, but you at least try to learn from them. It’s misspelled too [accidentally, as rimipianti]—so I literally have to live by that advice!”

Good advice for all of us, no? Of course, Hayden's not the only celebrity who's made a tattoo gaffe. Christina Aguilera, David Beckham, Britney Spears and Rihanna have all admitted to their body art blunders. And who could forget Johnny Depp's infamous "Wino Forever" ink?

Obviously, Ms. Panettiere is quite the trooper. Check out some shots from her Glamour shoot below and pick up the issue on April 9 for the full interview.

The irony is killing us.

Our first encounter with the misspelled tattoo was on Hayden Panettiere. An Italian phrase that ironically means "to live without regrets" has an extra "i" added in "rimpianti."

Another tragic tattoo, this time with an entire syllable missing.

Yeah, it's the system that holds you down. It's also the same system that normally teaches you how to spell.

What started out as a mistake has now become a tattoo trend in the windy city.

...But your tattoo artist's spelling abilities are not "awsome."

She's either bad at spelling or has a really interesting fetish.

Oh the things you'll know tomorrow, like regret, for example.

Not to disappoint you, but you're going to be receiving a lot of the same "coments" on your tattoo.

...tattoo should probably be spell-checked!

Okay, maybe the back of the "R" and the top of the "X" are supposed to form the missing "T", but we're willing to assume he forgot it and just doesn't give a s**t.

He got so caught up in the Gothic lettering he forgot you can't just add extra e's onto words for old-timey effect.

'Scandal': On Opposite Sides Of A Case, Fitz And Olivia Share A Miserable Phone Conversation (VIDEO)

'Scandal': Fitz And Olivia Share A Miserable Phone Call

Olivia and Fitz couldn't have been further apart as "Scandal" returned to ABC. In fact, they were on opposite sides of the case this week. Fitz had nominated a man for the Supreme Court only to have a mistress scandal erupt. When the woman came to Olivia, she found herself standing opposite her one-time man to defend his nominee's "other woman."

They did have a conversation on the phone, but it proved to be a "heartbreakingly emotional" moment, according to EW. At this point, it hurts too much for them to spend even a moment together, and yet they can't stop reaching out to each other. It was Fitz who picked up the phone this time.

"I was calling, because apparently I haven’t kicked myself enough today and I needed a little more misery," he told her. "You ruined me. I’m ruined."

"I'm ruined!" Olivia countered, but Fitz told her he didn't care.

So it wasn't a very productive call, but it was communication. And it left Buddy TV a little uncertain. "At this point, it really seems impossible for them to even have a brief moment together," their reviewer wrote. "But on the other hand, Olivia and Fitz seem like the end game."

It certainly seems that way, but it's going to be a very bumpy road to get there, apparently. The journey continues on "Scandal," Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on ABC.

Amy B. Dean: Labor Becomes Part of the National Conversation: The Best and Worst of 2012

Fellow of the Century Foundation and co-author, 'A New New Deal: How Regional Activism Will Reshape the American Labor Movement'; President and founder, ABD Ventures

This was a tumultuous year for working people and their families. From the grassroots uprisings last winter to the low-wage workers' strikes at year's end, 2012 saw many people coming together for the first time and finding their voices. Below are the items that I would highlight as the best and worst developments of 2012 in the world of labor and progressive social movements.

The Worst:

Conservatives have repeatedly tried to pass anti-worker legislation under misleading names and false slogans in 2012. This approach hasn't always worked -- California's Prop 32, which would have unfairly restricted workers' political speech in the state, failed at the polls in November. Sadly, though, at the end of the year, Michigan's lame-duck legislature, dominated by a billionaire-funded GOP, passed a so-called "right to work" law. As has happened in other states, the new law will pit Michigan workers against each other by forcing those who pay union dues to represent and bargain for those who don't. The state has been a union bulwark historically, so this is a sad sign for working people all over the country.

Neoliberal trade policy has continued to undermine the American middle class in 2012. As reporters Donald Barlett and James Steele have documented, the so-called "free trade" deals modeled after NAFTA are part of a pattern that has resulted in huge job losses here in the United States. This year, the Obama administration has been promoting a new pact based on this same model that would create a "free trade zone" made up of ten countries along the Pacific Rim, called the TransPacific Partnership (TPP). As Matt Stoller has said in Salon, the creation of the TPP has mostly flown under the radar, but it could lead to "offshoring of U.S. manufacturing and service-sector jobs, inexpensive imported products, expanded global reach of U.S. multinationals, and less bargaining leverage for labor." None of this is good for Americans who desperately need jobs to be created here.

Another disturbing trend that continued this year was giveaways of public funds to private companies. As watchdog Good Jobs First documented earlier this year, state and local governments handed out $32 billion to private corporations in the name of job creation, but with no real accountability or guarantees of public benefit.

THE BEST:

Not everything was bad news; there were also some positive developments that offer hope for the future. Four of these were:

Student activism allied with union advocacy paid off in San Jose, California, where a student-led coalition got a ballot initiative passed that will raise the minimum wage from $8 to $10 per hour for everyone working within the city limits. Organizers estimate the number of workers who will get a raise to be in the tens of thousands. I see this as a fine example of regional coalition-based organizing, and I hope it becomes a trend.

Labor helped push President Obama to victory: once again, organized labor showed that its electoral muscle is critical in propelling candidates to victory. This creates a window of opportunity for pursuing future gains for workers at the federal level.

Chicago teachers won their strike. The September walkout that lasted for seven school days may prove to be a bellwether for other places, where teachers can begin to reframe the issue of reform to include teachers' unions and more equitable distribution of resources as part of the solution for public education.

Walmart workers staged the first-ever strikes against the biggest private sector employer in the United States. United Food and Commercial Workers Organizing Director Pat O'Neill talked about how the union is experimenting with a new model of organizing -- workers and community members coming together to support better conditions in the stores and warehouses even before the workers join a union.

In 2013, as Obama starts his new term, we can find hope in these examples of regionally based innovation. Rather than waiting for change to come from above, we must take what is working at the regional level and turn it into a people's agenda for Washington.
