Hewitt and White are set to star in the “Hallmark Hall of Fame” movie “The Lost Valentine,” set to air in early 2011 (if the title’s any indication, perhaps in February). Hewitt will also exec produce the movie, which will shoot in Atlanta this fall.

The “Hallmark Hall of Fame” telepic reps a quick return to the Eye for Hewitt, who just wrapped five years on CBS’ “Ghost Whisperer,” which wasn’t picked up this spring for another season.

Based on the novel by James Michael Pratt, “The Lost Valentine” will star Hewitt as a journalist working on a profile of a woman (White) whose husband was declared MIA during WWII.

Darnell Martin (“Their Eyes Were Watching God”) will direct the longform; scribes Ernest Thompson and Jenny Wingfield are adapting for TV. Joining Hewitt as exec producer is Brent Shields; Andy Gottlieb and Barbara Gangi are producers.

Hewitt most recently starred in Lifetime movie “The Client List.” She’s currently shooting an episode of “Law and Order: SVU” and also released her first book, “The Day I Shot Cupid.”

Hewitt’s other credits include ABC movie “The Audrey Hepburn Story,” as well as the Fox drama “Party of Five.”

It’s also been a busy year for White, who stars in TV Land’s “Hot in Cleveland,” among dozens of other gigs.

The movie, which co-starred Cybill Shepherd, drew 3.9 million viewers amid tough female-centric cable competish: Bravo offered “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” ABC Family ran “The Secret Life of an American Teenager,” while TNT had a double-bill of “The Closer” and freshman drama “Rizzoli and Isles.” Among femmes 18-34, “Teenager” fared best of the cable entries while “Client” was tops in women 18-49.

Even more of a draw was ABC’s two-hour edition of “The Bachelorette,” which drew nearly 11 million viewers and a season’s best 3.4 rating/10 share in the adults 18-49 demo. Combined with “True Beauty” at 10 p.m., the Alphabet easily won the night.

“The Client List” will be airing on the Lifetime television network on July 19 at 9 pm et/pt!

It’s not the first time Hewitt has mentioned her desire to take on the DC Comics superheroine. Last summer she told MTV News that she wanted the role “really badly” and pointed out that she’s curvaceous and athletic enough and that the gold bracelets would look great on her wrists. But at only 5’2″, isn’t she a little short for the role of the Amazon princess? And isn’t her fame a little short these days, as well? The last big screen appearance she made was in Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties. Perhaps if there’s ever another Wonder Woman TV series, the Ghost Whisperer star would be best suited for that.

We recently heard that Warner Bros. still promises to make Wonder Woman, claiming it’s still in active development, though the studio couldn’t give any sort of timeline. For all we know Hewitt will be an old lady by the time it’s ready to go. And though fans might get excited if Betty White put on the star-spangled costume, she’s probably the only person above the age of 35 that audiences and Hollywood could accept in the role. But if the movie is made soon, would you be okay with Hewitt being cast in her dream role?

Jennifer Love Hewitt plays a homecoming queen who turns to prostitution to support her family in the new Lifetime series ‘The Client List.’

“Given where we are economically, it’s an interesting story,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s really a movie about the human condition, and the heart, and where life can take you.”

Jennifer said she took pole dancing classes to prepare for the role “because it really, really gets you in shape [and] it also really teaches you about your inner sexuality.” Her mom is proud.

“My mom’s like, ‘I’m so proud. You’re pole dancing and you’re going to play a prostitute. Awesome!’ It’s like, ‘Yeah, what you always dreamed about, mama!’ But you know, it’s a great part,” she said.

The film, tentatively titled “The List,” was penned by “Frasier” alumna Suzanne Martin.

Set in a small Texas town, it centers on a former beauty queen (Hewitt), now a married mother of three, who faces certain foreclosure on her home after an injury sidelines her husband from working.

Convinced that no one as pretty as her deserves to be poor, she takes a job at a massage parlor, only to learn that the clients expect more than a rubdown.

Eric Laneuville, who has directed more than a dozen episodes of CBS’ “Ghost,” is set to helm “List,” which is being produced by Jaffe/Braunstein.

Hewitt will executive produce with Dannielle Thomas, Michael Jaffe and Howard Braunstein.

Production is slated to begin in the spring in Vancouver for a premiere this year.

Hewitt stars in and executive produces “Ghost,” now in its fifth season. She is also set to make a cameo in NBC’s romantic dramedy anthology pilot “Love Bites.”

Martin’s comedy pilot “Hot in Cleveland” recently was picked up to series by TV Land.

Hewitt and Martin are repped by WME. Hewitt is managed by Untitled.

“It’s sort of like Erin Brockovich in a brothel,” she said.

Hewitt’s boyfriend, Jamie Kennedy, is excited about the actress’ new hard-hitting role, reports imdb.com. “It’s time for her to start showing everyone what I already know,” he added.

Neil Patrick Harris, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Alfred Molina are among those set to voice key characters for the new half-hour animated Christmas special, “Yes, Virginia” which will premiere Friday, Dec. 11 (8:00-8:30 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network.

The animated special tells the story of 8-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon (Beatrice Miller) a young girl growing up in late 1800s New York City who always loved Christmas, until the playground bully, Charlotte (Julian Franco) tells her and the other children that Santa Claus doesn’t exist.

Not sure what to believe, Virginia and her friend, Ollie (Kieran Patrick Campbell), venture into the streets of New York City to uncover the truth. Along the way, they encounter a Scraggly Santa (Michael Buscemi) who is trying to raise money for the less fortunate (he admits he’s not the real deal, but someone who sort of works for Santa Claus), an over-eager librarian with a shelf full of Christmas books, and interesting advice from Virginia’s quirky scientist father (Neil Patrick Harris) and understanding mother (Jennifer Love Hewitt).

Unable to find the answer, Virginia decides to write a letter to the New York Sun newspaper, and is found by the curmudgeonly editor, Francis Church (Alfred Molina)who feels he has better things to do than respond to a little girl’s question.

Mosters and Critics

Even though a live-action take on the tiara-wearing, gold-bracelet-sporting, Amazonian superhero has been stuck in development hell for years, a wide swath of actresses has been itching to don that star-spangled suit and bring Wonder Woman back into the pop-culture mainstream.

Beyoncé has said she’d like a shot. Vanessa Hudgens wants a go. Keri Russell actually portrayed Wonder Woman, albeit in voice only for an animated DVD. Jessica Biel hasn’t ruled out taking the part. Meanwhile, Megan Fox has been outspoken in her criticism of the character. And then there’s talk of supermodel Megan Gale and “Legend of the Seeker” star Bridget Regan.

Of course, at this point, there are only rumors that a big-screen adaptation is finally moving forward. That hasn’t stopped another actress — perhaps an unlikely candidate for superhero-dom — from volunteering for the gig.

“I want to play Wonder Woman really badly,” Jennifer Love Hewitt told MTV News at San Diego Comic Con. “I want them to make the movie of Wonder Woman, and I want to play Wonder Woman so bad. That’d be really fun.”

From “Ghost Whisperer” and “Garfield” to a super-strong woman with an invisible plane and a Lasso of Truth? Hewitt told us she simply wants to do an action movie, mentioning “Tomb Raider” as another possibility. But she thinks she’d be the perfect fit for Wonder Woman, and she ticked off the reasons why.

“Curvaceous,” she began. “Gold bracelets! Look at these wrists — tell me gold bracelets would not look good! And I love little tiaras, and Wonder Woman got to wear one of those. I’m very athletic.”
