With “Ghost Whisperer” canceled, Jennifer Love Hewitt doesn’t have a series on the air, but she’s still a draw as evidenced by strong ratings for Lifetime original telepic “The Client List” on Monday night.

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.

In a world that’s overly focused on body image, Jennifer Love Hewitt is urging young women not to obsess about weight – because it’s simply not worth it.

“When I meet young girls, I’m always like, ‘Just do me one favor,’ ” she tells PEOPLE in its new issue. “Love what you look like right now – and remember I said it 10 years from now because it’s the greatest gift I can give.”

Having already witnessed first-hand how tough it can be to love your own figure – the 31-year-old spoke out against critics in December 2007 when unflattering photos of her on the beach surfaced – Hewitt says she first focused on getting a mind makeover.

“I just really worked on my mental part for a couple of weeks, got myself in a really good mindset,” she says, adding that she was “bummed out” and “had to get over the embarrassment of the photos.

Then, the Ghost Whisperer star decided to give up her beloved donuts and make time to squeeze in workouts during her busy schedule – to get healthier, but not slim down drastically.

“I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

Even with her new-found confidence, the 5-foot-2-inch Hewitt, whose Lifetime movie The Client List airs July 19, still fesses up to dreaming about having a certain body type.

“I’d want to have Gisele Bundchen’s body. Even though she’s tall and skinny, she does have curves … and I think that’s hot,” says Hewitt. “Halle Berry also is kind of amazing.”

Remember Jennifer Love Hewitt? And remember how maybe one day there will be a Wonder Woman movie? Now, take those two faint memories and put them together for the most stale news you might hear all day: Jennifer Love Hewitt really wants to play Wonder Woman, aka Princess Diana, whenever Warner Bros. gets the adaptation greenlit. Not only does she want the part, but she’s “fighting so hard” to get it, according to a statement quoted by WENN. “I really want to play Wonder Woman,” she continued. “I’m obsessed with Wonder Woman.”

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 has revealed plans to star in a Broadway play.

The actress, whose series Ghost Whisperer was recently cancelled by CBS, will play a prostitute in upcoming TV movie The List and then hopes to appear in a Broadway musical in New York, Teen Hollywood reports.

Speaking to E! Online, Hewitt said: “I’m looking at possibly doing Broadway. To be able to sing and dance will be fun.”

Hewitt recently said that she is not currently interested in starting a new relationship.

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.

Ghost Whisperer fans shouldn’t say goodbye to the paranormal just yet. Although the show was canceled after five seasons, executive producer Kim Moses tells TVGuide.com that she and her team are moving forward on a new show called Ghostworld with ABC.

Set to shoot this summer, Ghostworld is about a ghost who helps a young homicide detective solve crimes. In doing so, he hopes to discover clues to his own life and death. The script was originally written by Daniel Taplitz and What About Brian creator Dana Stevens is also now on board.

Although ABC passed on picking up the series after what Moses calls a “very last minute” cancellation by CBS, Moses is staying positive.

“We always want to keep telling stories because that’s what we are in our heart and our soul,” she says. “ABC and CBS have been incredibly supportive … and it’s important we do additional things.”

“Ghost Whisperer,” the Jennifer Love Hewitt supernatural drama that was surprisingly axed by CBS last week, will not cross over to ABC.

“After five wonderful seasons and over 100 episodes, we are disappointed to announce ‘Ghost Whisperer’ will not be returning for a sixth season,” executive producers Kim Moses and Ian Sander said in a statement Thursday.

ABC, whose studio sibling co-produced “Ghost Whisperer” with CBS, had expressed an interest in “Ghost Whisperer,” which consistently won its Friday-night time period.

Hewitt starred as a medium who can communicate with earthbound spirits and helps them “cross over” to the other side after their unfinished business is resolved.

JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT’s spooky TV series GHOST WHISPERER has been brought back from the dead – TV executives at ABC have given the show a lifeline.

The long-running drama was axed last week (ends21May10) as part of a sweep by executives at CBS.

But Hewitt’s co-star and ex-boyfriend Jamie Kennedy has revealed there is still “life” in the programme after ABC chiefs expressed interest in picking up Ghost Whisperer for its future schedule.

He says, “They are talking about it, so that’s cool. We haven’t exactly gone into the light, we haven’t crossed over, but we’ve got some life.”

Ghost Whisperer premiered in 2005.

The hits just keep on coming.

My sources confirm reports that the following CBS shows have gotten the ax. For your consideration, I have put them in a list from most shocking to “yeah, knew that was happening”:

* Old Christine
* Ghost Whisperer
* Gary Unmarried
* Accidentally on Purpose
* Cold Case
* Miami Medical
* Numb3rs

Yikes. Talk about cleaning house. But here is your bright side: Rules of Engagement and Medium both got renewed. Also, there is still hope that Ghost and Christine might be picked up by ABC.

Poor Jennifer Love Hewitt. But there just might be a plan B for her. I talked to Greg Grunberg yesterday about becoming a series regular on the new NBC rom-com Love Bites. J.Love is guesting in the pilot episode as a free pass for Greg’s character: She’s on the list of celebrities he’s allowed to sleep with. “I end up in a bathroom on a plane with Jennifer Love Hewitt,” he tells me. “I can’t tell you what happens, but it’s very funny. She, by the way, is the greatest.” Perhaps she’ll be back on the show after the mile-high situation?

Love Bites is going to have a revolving door of guest stars each week, so this slew of cancellations could mean grabbing up new characters. Who else should that show pick up from the depths of unemployment? CBS is not commenting on these updates, but we won’t have to wait long. CBS upfronts are tomorrow, and I’ll be there to feed you updates. Meanwhile, head to the comments and rant until the shock wears off.

From E! Online

Television viewers will get more than they bargained for with the news that NBC has picked up the show ‘Love Bites.’ One of the new comedy’s episodes features the unlikely scene of Greg Grunberg joining the Mile High Club … with Jennifer Love Hewitt.

“It was crazy,” Grunberg confesses to PopEater. “But if you have to be stuck with someone in a bathroom that size, it might as well be Jennifer Love Hewitt,” he adds. “I’m no petite guy, and it was really tight quarters.”

Grunberg jumped at the chance to work with Hewitt for the first time. “She’s the greatest. I have a small list of people whom I love working with, and she’s on that list. We were dreaming, saying we should do a series together,” he said.

The racy subject matter got the folks on the set talking. “I mentioned I hadn’t joined the mile-high club and then someone on the set said they were sort of in the club, but not from the bathroom,” recalls a still-outraged Grunberg. “I was like, ‘How do you do that on the plane?’”

Grunberg says he’s not a member and doesn’t plan to be. “Those bathrooms are disgusting and tiny. It’s people working down a checklist really. That’s what it comes down to.”

Even though the scene was shot on a fake plane set, it was still way too small for the ‘Heroes’ star. “This movie plane bathroom had removable walls, and I was still claustrophobic,” says Grunberg. “We were like, ‘How do people do this?’”
