NBC has just released this promotional still from next Monday’s episode of “Heroes,” in which Claire (Hayden Panettiere) waterskis over a shark kisses Gretchen, played by Madeline Zima (Zima: it’s not just for getting teenagers drunk any more). Finally. I don’t watch “Heroes” and don’t find Hayden particularly attractive, and yet somehow, this has been a story since June.

In other sexually adventurous news, the November 9th episode of “Gossip Girl” will feature a threesome. Not exactly life-changing news unless it’s me with Leighton Meester and Blake Lively, but you absolutely HAVE to read the way that Michael Ausiello broke the news:

Like “The O.C.” and “Desperate Housewives” before it, “Heroes” may resort to having two female characters kiss in a last-ditch effort to generate buzz about a dying show.  Last week, news broke that with Claire (Hayden Panettiere) going off to college, she’s going to get a roommate.  A sexy roommate.

Days after “Californication” co-star Madeline Zima was cast to play Claire Bennet’s (Hayden Panettiere) college roommate Gretchen in a multiepisode arc, Claire got herself yet another roommate.

“Days of Our Lives” co-star Rachel Melvin [Ed. Note: RAWR!] has been tapped to guest star and potentially recur on “Heroes” next season, playing Annie, who also will share sleeping quarters (and maybe more) with Claire. [THR]

And by “more” they mean “saliva.”  Listen, I’m all about hot chicks making out on TV, especially if all those studies about TV influencing people are true.  But start putting it in Season 1′s plot lines.  Don’t do it when you’re just obviously trying to get attention.  That’s like two chicks making out at a party.  Whoa, I just made an infinite metaphor loop.  I think I may have stopped time.

So, apparently there’s something called the Candie’s Foundation that’s all about preventing teen pregnancy, which is sponsored by the shoe company of the same name that makes sexualized ads with young women.  And some of the speakers at the Candie’s “town hall” meeting yesterday were “Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere, Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Matt Garza, and prodigal abstinence advocate Bristol Palin.  Bugs & Cranks has highlights from the Candie’s twitter feed:

• matt garza says he was 17 when he got his wife pregnant – and he thought-this isn’t possible this couldn’t happen to me
• matt g says media has desensitized people to sex – it’s everywhere
• matt says u want to be stable before you have kids – it’s a handful
• bristol adds she doesn’t have time to do the things she wants to do
• bristol says having a baby is a 24 hour a day job – i do everything for my baby
• hayden says no such thing as being to [sic] safe or too educated on sex

That’s right, kids!  Be safe out there!  Take it from a millionaire athlete, a millionaire actress who dated a thirty-year-old while still in her teens, and a teenager who got pregnant and is now on TV all the time because her mother was on the presidential ticket — having sex before marriage could potentially ruin your life!
