Now that she’s back on the market, is Jennifer Love Hewitt ready to jump back into the dating game?

“I’m actually not looking for a man at the moment,” the actress, 31, told UsMagazine.com at Kari Feinstein’s MTV Movie Awards Style Lounge in Beverly Hills Thursday. “I am enjoying being by myself. I’m happy!”

After splitting with Ghost Whisperer costar Jamie Kennedy in March, the actress gave herself a makeover: she sported a chic bob (before later adding extensions in April) and got serious about her fitness.

“I do the elliptical every day for at least 45 minutes. I don’t enjoy it, but I do it,” she tells Us. “I love doing the spin bike. It’s a great way to burn 500 calories or something every time you do it, which is amazing.”

So how does the svelte star — who admits to indulging in K Poppers from Pizza Hut — stay motivated during her workout sessions?

“I watch America’s Next Top Model and go, ‘Okay, I know if I stay on this an extra 15 minutes, I will look like that girl!’” she tells Us. “I don’t however, when I get off, but it inspires me.”

After twenty years in showbiz, Jennifer Love Hewitt has learned a few lessons about taking her appearance to the next level.

“Elizabeth Taylor taught me that after you get ready for the day – after you do your hair and makeup – you’re supposed to take a hot bath because it brings out your inner glow,” the Ghost Whisperer star tells me. “I always do that before I go out.”

Turning 31 inspired her to change up her style.

“I’m trying to be a bit more glam this year — even my lingerie choices tend to be a little more glamorous, just from within,” she admits. “I tend to go pretty comfortable. I’m a jeans and t-shirts kind of girl. I dress casual for comfort.”

The actress has been linked to Jenny McCarthy’s ex John Asher, 39, after amicably splitting from co-star Jamie Kennedy.

The Day I Shot Cupid author shares her advice for single gals in NYC and beyond.

“Be careful,” she says. “Run for your life. Drink lots of cosmos, go to the spa and have really close girlfriends.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt takes OK!’s Last Word interview in the issue out now. The Ghost Whisperer star, 31, sipped Pellegrino water in the basement of NYC’s Borders Wall Street, prior to a book-signing for her relationship tome The Day I Shot Cupid, when she told all.

This is what you won’t find in the magazine.

Last time you were mistaken for another celebrity?
Oh my gosh, I used to get mistaken as Alyssa Milano and Soleil Moon Frye all the time when I was little. I would sign autographs as them [laughs]. I thought it was really cool [laughs]. I was famous as them before I was famous as me [laughs].

Last time you lied?
This morning, when someone asked me if I was tired, and I said no [laughs].

Last time you felt guilty?
Probably when I bought Christian Louboutin shoes. I feel like I should’ve spent that money on maybe a family member or someone else, but I spent it on me [laughs].

Last time you felt envious?
Anytime I see a picture of Gisele Bundchen, because she looks like Gisele Bundchen [laughs]. We all wish we could look like that.

Last time you saw your Kids, Incorporated co-star Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson?
The last time I saw Fergie was on an airplane to Hawaii. It was great. It was awesome. She was sitting there, and I tapped her on the shoulder and we had a big hug, spoke for a moment and then went back to our flights.

Last chore or errand you did?
The last errand I did was right before I made the trip here. I went and got mini hairsprays for traveling.

Last time you spoiled your cat?
My cat, Earl Grey, is spoiled every day. I always make sure there are lots of treats for him.

Last time you felt competitive?
I always feel competitive. I grew up in a family where we’re all very competitive. Healthy, but competitive. I was playing poker, and I felt competitive with my mom [laughs]. I won.

What’s it like trying to navigate love in Hollywood? In her new memoir, “The Day I Shot Cupid,” TV star Jennifer Love Hewitt — who once dated John Mayer and Jamie Kennedy — shares her candid experiences and advice on modern romance. “The Ghost Whisperer” actress explores everything from the dos and don’ts of text flirting to how to mend a broken heart. An excerpt:

Preface
Okay, so why did I, an actress in her thirties, decide to write a book on dating? Well, leave it to Cabo Wabo! I had a massive broken heart, so I hopped on the plane with my mom, aunt, and a bunch of friends. We found ourselves at this beautiful home overlooking the ocean and like most meetings of the female brain, talking about men. I was so intrigued, the age groups, types of women, lifestyles were all so different, but the message was the same. Dating is hilarious and awkward as hell. Relationships are difficult, beautiful, and confusing. And love is somehow worth it all. It was like pen and paper had to be used at that moment, so I took all the things we were talking about and started writing. Of course, I added my own funny comments to them, because if you can’t laugh you won’t make it.

At dinner that night I presented my romance thought pages on the table, hoping to ease any past pain, laugh about the hours of life lost on bad dates, and show that we are all the same. They loved it (the tequila helped)! As I wrote them, healing began for me as well.

At the end of our great trip, I went home with a new thought. What if this is why I went through all my dating crap? Maybe I’m supposed to be the kindred spirit of millions of women out there who are just like me. And there it was, the new relationship that I would begin would be with me, my past, my present, my laughter, my pain, and most important, all of you.

Introduction
This, for me, is the perfect place to start. Although I was actually born on February 21, there was a chance that I would come a week earlier, on February 14. That’s right, Valentine’s Day. I refused to believe until I was ten or eleven years old that Valentine’s Day was not actually created for me. Why? Because my name is Love! My mom named me Love and almost gave birth to me on Valentine’s Day. Hello? I was born to be a hopeless romantic. It’s worked well for me so far, or so I thought. And that brings us to now. This is the most eye-opening and slightly depressing part of the book, so let’s get it over with. What I am about to tell you will include shocking details, lies, and murder. Continue to read at your own risk.

She just wrote a book on dating, but Jennifer Love Hewitt says she prefers to be in a relationship than out there testing the waters.

“I don’t think anyone truly enjoys dating,” the actress and author of The Day I Shot Cupid said Tuesday on NBC’s Today show. “I’m better in relationships than I am going out with one guy on a Monday and then another one on a Wednesday and another one on a Saturday. It feels weird to me. So, I tend to spend time with people and have boyfriends versus dates.”

Asked why she hasn’t found Mr. Right yet, the actress, 31 – who recently split from her Ghost Whisperer costar Jamie Kennedy – replied, “I think that’s how love works. I think it’s timing, and figuring out who you are.”

Not necessarily referring to Kennedy, 39, she added: “I think it takes a lot of frogs to find your prince.”

The two actors are still working together on the CBS show, and Hewitt says it hasn’t been too terrible. “I think maybe earlier in my life that would’ve been a harder thing to do,” she said. “But with age comes growing up, and it’s been OK. It’s been fine.”

Hewitt also spoke about her weight controversy in 2007, saying she moved on from it pretty quickly, thanks to a little help from her friends. “People came out in support, and that part was really lovely,” she said.

As for her future in love, Hewitt – who was once engaged to Scottish actor Ross McCall – says she still has some self-discovery left to do first.

“I think every relationship you’re in teaches you something different about yourself,” she said. “And I feel like, at 31, there’s still so much more I need to know about myself before I can completely give the perfect version of me to someone.”

From People

Jennifer Love Hewitt had more than a breakup on her hands when she recently split from her “Ghost Whisperer” co-star, Jamie Kennedy. She was about to embark on a tour promoting her new book about relationships.

“It wasn’t ideal timing,” the 31-year-old actress admits, laughing. “Here’s my relationship book and I’m single.”

Still, she has gone ahead with the publicity tour for “The Day I Shot Cupid: My Name is Jennifer Love Hewitt and I’m a Love-Aholic.” And she’s embracing one of its lessons: Allow yourself 72 hours to wallow after a breakup. Then move forward.

“Put your big girl pants on and move on,” Hewitt tells The Associated Press. “Seventy-two hours is an appropriate time. After that you start to smell and your friends don’t want to talk to you. … It doesn’t mean it fixes your feelings or takes away the sadness. You should just start to go, ‘I’m OK.’”

The book also includes these tips: Accept that men will always check out other women. Guys hate to spoon. And one shouldn’t be overzealous with a new significant other.

There’s even a section written by Kennedy himself, who assures women that most guys like their girls curvy, not stick-thin.

Hewitt includes personal anecdotes, such as when she made his-and-her toiletry kits for a guy she was dating. She thought it was cute; he found it scary.

The book also sets the record straight on parts of Hewitt’s relationship history, which has been played out in the press.

“My dating life has been written about really since I was 15 … so this book is my way of saying, ‘No, this is who I am and this is what I’ve really thought about that, and these are the things that I’ve done that maybe you didn’t read about.”

Despite her recent difficulties, Hewitt says there wouldn’t be, say, Shakespeare without love-aholics like herself.

“Dreaming about romance is not any different than having a vision board, which is the big thing out there that you’re supposed to do … to put it out there in the universe.”

America’s Sweetheart is Already, or Only, 31 Years Old

Jennifer Love Hewitt is thirty one years old, and the years somehow have been both kind and difficult. Jennifer Love Hewitt comfortably inhabits that twilight area of American celebrity, which is to say she is not an A-List celebrity but would never be considered a B-Lister either; she is far too adorable and lovable for that.

Appearing on The Today Show on Tuesday morning to promote her book, The Day I Shot Cupid: Hello, My Name Is Jennifer Love Hewitt and I’m a Love-aholic , Love Hewitt still radiates that sweet, wholesome girl next door look and image that everybody wants to protect, even though she has also dated an uncouth rock star in John Mayer and been roasted by the press for appearing less than perfect in a 2007 candid bikini shot.

As a star through the years on the underrated Party of Five television show and then a sexpot in the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer, Love Hewitt has always been that girl that people more hate to love than love to hate.

But Love Hewitt is now growing out of her twenties and it shows; but in a positive sense. She is gaining rave reviews for her work as Melissa Gordon on the CBS show The Ghost Whisperer. In it, she plays a woman that regularly communicates with ghosts; it may be Love Hewitt’s most realistic and mature work to date.

And now, ironically enough, Hewitt Love publishes her book on love as she is fresh off of a break up with yet another boyfriend, this time her Ghost Whisperer co-star Jamie Kennedy.

What is not clear is how much being single bothers Love Hewitt. At an age when many are thinking of settling down and finding a life long mate, she has seemingly taken each of the bumps along the way in stride. Even the title of her book, incorporating ‘Love-aholic’, seems to poke fun at the perception that she has a challenge staying in any relationship for long, but keeps coming back for more.

What Love Hewitt does seem to be doing very well is settling into her post ‘young lady’ phase and moving with grace, talent and beauty to the next phase of her professional life, regardless of what may lay in store for her in her personal one.
