What do you do if you're a celebrity and there's a warrant for an arrest issued in a country you want to go back and visit? Just talk to the prime minister, of course. :) Hayden Panettiere sat down for a little chat with the prime minister of Japan where he told her she was welcome back even after she went to protest the slaughter of dolphins and whales.

“I went and had a meeting with the foreign minister…the foreign minister said I was welcome anytime. Very kind man. Very welcoming, and he said I was his most welcome guest so there’s a shocker.”

Of the arrest warrant, Hayden said,

“there was, the Japanese culture is such that its one of the kindest most polite most welcoming cultures you can ever run across. I think they did it to pretty much scare us from coming back.”
