What is the future of Ghost Whisperer? Despite being that chimera known as a solidly performing Friday night network drama, CBS is said to be pondering a Friday night reshuffle.

Interestingly, as Ghost Whisperer is co-owned between CBS Studios and ABC Studios, the upshot might be that Ghost Whisperer might drop off of CBS’s schedules and resurface on ABC’s, resulting in a strange echo of last season’s Medium network switcheroo.

The ratings have sunk this season, but the fact is that none of the broadcast networks is doing well on Friday nights this year, and Ghost Whisperer is pulling in okay if unremarkable ratings. There seems to be less of a chance that Ghost Whisperer will be canceled outright, than that CBS will rethink Fridays and leave the show without a berth.

Ghost Whisperer, currently in its 5th season and on the far side of its hundredth episode, is doing well in domestic and international rating and continues to pull a following, as does its brandmade Medium, but given its longevity and success in reruns it wouldn’t be difficult for network execs to decide it has run its course. Medium, wholly owned by CBS Studios and normally keeping all of its Ghost Whisperer lead-in, is slightly more likely to stay on the CBS network, but if CBS decides to shake up Fridays it’s likely both shows will be closed out.

Lifetime is gearing up for production on an original movie headlined by “Ghost Whisperer” star Jennifer Love Hewitt.

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.

Love Bites for Jennifer Love Hewitt. No, that’s not a snarky comment on the actress’ highly-publicized romantic travails. Rather, the newly-single Ghost Whisperer star and self-professed romantaholic has been tapped to guest star in the promising NBC pilot from Sex and the City scribe Cindy Chupack.

Details about her cameo are being kept under wraps, but a Peacock insider tells me that Hewitt will play herself. My guess? One of the show’s lovelorn leads — portrayed by Ugly Betty’s Becki Newton and My Boys‘ Jordana Spiro — will meet Hewitt at a signing for her new memoir-slash-advice book, The Day I Shot Cupid. But I’m just spitballing.

Love Bites is an anthology-esque dramedy that follows three loosely connected stories of love, dating, and marriage each week. In addition to Hewitt, the pilot’s impressive guest cast includes Heroes‘ Greg Grunberg, Lipstick Jungle’s Lindsay Price, Sex and the City’s Jason Lewis, and The Office’s Craig Robinson.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is adamant she hasn’t given her boyfriend Jamie Kennedy a deadline for a proposal insisting the couple won’t “rush” into marriage any time soon.

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.”

While all the other late-night talk show hosts last night were yakking about NBC, Jennifer Love Hewitt was on with George Lopez talking about something entirely different – her private parts. Or as she called put it – her “precious lady.”

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.”

Sure, it’s getting near Christmas, but on the “Ghost Whisperer” set, it’s been more like Halloween. The series company has been engaged in shooting its 100th episode this past week, with star Jennifer Love Hewitt as director. With this year’s storyline moving toward a confrontation with supernatural forces from the dark side, she has her hands full, to say the least.

“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.
