The actress sparked rumors of an imminent wedding last year after she mentioned in an interview that she wanted to be engaged by summer 2010.

She said, “By this time next year, if we’re not planning something, then there’s a situation.”

Her former Ghost Whisperer co-star was subsequently rumored to have popped the question to Hewitt onstage during a comedy show, but the couple denied the reports.

Hewitt insists she hasn’t given her partner an ultimatum, and doesn’t expect a proposal until they are both ready to wed.

She says, “The engagement thing was blown out of all proportion. When I made that comment about there being a ’situation’, I wasn’t really giving him a time clock. If it’s going to happen it will happen, but right now we are not rushing anything. We are both just really happy.”

In her upcoming book, The Day I Shot Cupid, she mentions that she has a chapter on “Vagazzaling.”

She explains: “After a breakup a friend of mine Swarovski Crystaled my ‘precious lady’ and it shined like a disco ball and so I have a whole chapter in there about how women should ‘vagazzle’ their va-jay-jays.”

And was hers vagazzled as they spoke? Yes, she told Lopez. “It’s hot pink for today for you. I am currently vagazzled.” Hit Read more to watch the video and to see what nickname boyfriend Jamie Kennedy called Love that really ticked her off.

He was walking down the hall one day, she says. “And he goes, ‘Hey, my little pear ass.’ “I said, ‘I’m sorry, what did you say?’”

Hewitt, 30, then explained to Lopez that the remark wasn’t a compliment. “Have you ever seen a pear?” she asked. “It starts thin, it gets fat and it never gets thin again. It’s not cute. It’s not a cute fruit.”

She said they’ve since “worked it out” and now “we’ve embraced the pear.”

“I don’t know what I’m allowed to say, but it’s serious,” the show’s Camryn Manheim lets us know. “Let’s just say pyrotechnics. A lot of pyrotechnics. Let’s say it’s one of those episodes where, going in, everyone says, ‘Don’t make any plans. We’re going to be around for a long time.’”

The Emmy-winning actress admits she hasn’t been so sure about some of the dramatic moves taken by the “Ghost Whisperer” writer-producers over the last couple of seasons. In particular, “I was skeptical about the huge leap of Jim dying and then taking over someone else’s body,” she says, referring to David Conrad’s character, the husband of Hewitt’s Melinda Gordon.

“I wasn’t sure people would stick it out, but they have. In fact, the popularity of the show has increased. The viewers are smart. They do want to be challenged. They are willing to work harder to follow a new story line.”

Indeed. This year moved “Ghost Whisperer” ahead five years, making Melinda and Jim’s baby, Aiden (Connor Gibbs), into a young child with even more powerful — and dangerous — abilities than his mother’s.

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.

Hewitt’s idea was to create a spooky series of stories surrounding a supernatural music box in the anthology style of the landmark TV series, “The Twilight Zone.” And, judging by Issue One, they’ve succeeded. Each issue will tell one story, and this is an excellent read. We start with “Details,” a story about a quiet detective who wishes he could stop crimes before they happen. Once he crosses paths with the music box, he gets that wish. The art by Michael Gaydos is appropriately moody for this hard-boiled crime story. Similar in style to Sean Phillips’s work on Ed Brubaker’s noir comics, Gaydos is a little lighter on the brush and provides just the right weight for the characters and pacing.

Scott Lobdell, a two-time Wizard award winner, provides a fast-paced story. The premise and the characters work well, but you sort of wish the action would slow down just a bit. The story delivers a tight yet meaty portrait of the main character, Oliver Kulpalski. Again, Gaydos’s art goes a long way in keeping that balance of giving you all the details you need while moving the story along. He manages to pack a lot of soul into Kulpalski’s NYC world, including some nice, spare panels set on the subway and in Central Park.

“Music Box” is set for a ten issue run. Each issue will delve into some new aspect of the titular object as it moves from one unsuspecting owner to the next. Overall, it looks like it should be a fun journey.
