Viewers tuned out on Heroes to the tune of a 15 percent dropoff from the season premiere to Monday’s follow-up, TVGuide.com reports. That makes no sense to me, especially since it’ll take at least three episodes just to catch up with where all the Heroes are four months later. Still, at nearly 12 million viewers, it was one of the top draws of the night.

Angela Petrelli (Christine Rose) survived an invisible menace Monday, but the death card she drew just like Kaito Nakamura’s indicates her clock is ticking. TVGuide.com caught up with her in the hope it wasn’t too late for an interview. The gabfest isn’t new at this point, but lines like this make it timely.

TVGuide.com: Word is, she drops quite a bombshell in the Oct. 15 episode.
Rose: Yes, the shocking confession. It’s about the murder. She is in the thick of it. She has a lot of secrets, and she’ll be doling them out.

I guess it pays to be a teen/20-something blonde bombshell, because Hayden Panettiere and Kristen Bell are getting lots of love from fans and critics. The duo paired off at the Elevate Hope Foundation’s Bowling For The Arts “Celebrity Games� 2007 a few days ago. Click here for a trove of celeb pics from the event.

And while Kaito Nakamura may have gone splat on the sidewalk, actor George Takei is still flying high, in a sense. Takei was honored with his very own asteroid.
