HAYDEN HEARING WEDDING BELLS!

Still crazy in love after knockdown

TROUBLED Hayden Panettiere is considering marrying her bad boyfriend Brian Hickerson, according to insiders who say the actress' loved ones are terrified for her safety.

And they have good reason for their fears, sources claim.

Hickerson, 32, already received 45 days in the slammer for an ugly attack on the former Nashville beauty two years ago, and was photographed brawling with Hayden in West Hollywood on March 24.

Now, Hayden, 32, who reunited with the real estate agent and business manager last year, appears headed for the altar.
