‘The Client List’ fares well for Lifetime
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.

While the actress insists she is enjoying her single status, she says she prefers to have a boyfriend.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Can Now Relate to Prostitutes
After playing a prostitute in the Lifetime flick The Client List (premiering tonight), Jennifer Love Hewitt understands what drives some women to the sell their bodies.
Hewitt, 31, says her character in the movie — a mother and former small-town beauty queen — is left with no other choice.
“Her husband has been injured and out of work; her massage therapy job has been phased out; her kids need braces and their house is about to be foreclosed,” she said on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show Monday. “So she answers an ad in the paper for a massage therapy position.”
Initially, her character likes the attention.
But “very quickly, her life sort of goes on a downward spiral, and I think she realizes that there was probably more of the attention she was getting than she needed,” said the actress.
After doing the movie, Hewitt said she realized that the reason some women become prostitutes is “two-fold.” Not only is it helping them survive tough economic times, “it’s sort of helping them in their personal lives as well,” she said.
Some women might not be getting the sexual attention they need at home and “are kind of going out and going, ‘Well, we have needs just like men do, and if men can go out and get their needs met, we will too.’” she said. “It’s kind of crazy.”
On Saturday, UsMagazine.com spoke to Hewitt at the AZURE Luxury pool in the Palazzo Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
She called the role her “raciest part” yet.
What else is in the works for the actress?
“Nothing at the moment,” she told Us. “I’m working on some TV stuff, looking into some film stuff, everything like that. Not really sure where I’m going to land just yet.”
Anyone special?
“No, nobody special,” she told Us. “Just family. I’m single for the moment.”

‘Twilight’ fan Jennifer Love Hewitt explains her Taylor Lautner ‘Eclipse’ premiere experience
Generally, Taylor Lautner is regarded as having one of the biggest and brightest smiles of the Twilight cast, but Jennifer Love Hewitt reported a very different experience with the actor at the premiere of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
Hewitt, appearing on The Wendy Williams Show (via Twirlit) explained that when she went to the premiere, she was wavering in her “Team” loyalty between “Edward” and “Jacob,” and she was excited about the opportunity to take a photograph with Taylor Lautner.
However, the picture didn’t turn out as he expected, and Lautner’s facial expression in it was more of a grimace than a grin. Needless to say, she decided then and there that she was “Team Edward” for good.
Chances are, Taylor Lautner was distracted or caught in between smiles, given his very jovial personality, but it was apparently enough to keep Jennifer Love Hewitt, a self-proclaimed mega-Twilight fan, off the fence.
This is quite the opposite of what Taylor Lautner’s usual persuasion in the Twilight fan world has been since a lot of fans have been drawn to “Team Jacob” by his portrayal of the character.
Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Mom Disapproves of Her Sexy Roles
Listen up, everybody: Jennifer Love Hewitt’s mom knows that you have been talking about her boobs for the past 15 years.
The 31-year-old actress recently admitted that her mother took her to task for playing sexy ladies and forcing every red-blooded American to notice her body:
“[My mom] was very supportive. But then a week ago she was like, ‘So, let’s review the last year, shall we? For 15 years people have been talking about your boobs in the press. You wrote about your woo-ha in a book and now you’re playing a crack-ho on TV.’ I was like, ‘Yeah…’ So she was like, ‘Can we do an animated movie next? Can you play Cinderella on Broadway or something?’ I was like, ‘OK, I’ll clean it up, right after this one, I promise!’”
The former Party of Five actress will star in the upcoming made-for-TV movie, The Client List, in which she plays a desperate mother who turns into a high-end prostitute to support her family. Not sure if that role really classifies as being a “crack-ho,” per Mrs. Hewitt’s description, but we aren’t here to argue semantics.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Gives Female Empowerment a New Name in The Client List
Jennifer Love Hewitt is well aware of possible judgments about her character in the Lifetime film The Client List: a married mother of three turned prostitute.
Bring it on — that’s part of the fun, she says.
“You do root for her and you do judge her, and you love that you judge her and by the end of it, you really forgive her for all that she’s done,” the 31-year-old Hewitt says. “Sometimes the best role models, and the people you should look up to the most, are the ones who actually do make mistakes because they show you how to overcome them.”
The Client List, premiering Monday at 9/8c, is based on the true story of Samantha Horton, a woman who takes a position at a massage parlor only to find herself smack in the middle of a prostitution ring after she and her husband both lose their jobs.
“It really struck me, particularly where we are in the world economically. This is real stuff that people are dealing with,” Hewitt says. “And I loved that, in this, it was about female empowerment. It was really her taking care of her family and I loved her struggle.”
For the role, Hewitt trained by taking pole-dancing classes (she now has a pole in her house for her work-out regimen), but did little other research before filming began.
“I wanted to learn as Sam was learning it and I think it helped me in doing that,” Hewitt says. “This project in particular, I really went on the journey with her because I didn’t do any real research or any preparation. … I really felt for Sam and her story and her struggle.”
It was this emotional journey with Samantha that makes the character, and the film, one of Hewitt’s favorite roles in her 20-plus-year acting career.
“Emotionally, this was one of the hardest things I ever had to do because it was work that I didn’t understand. It was, quite honestly, a world that I was judgmental of before I did the part,” she says. “It was difficult, but it would probably be a tie now between Sam and Audrey [Hepburn in The Audrey Hepburn Story].”
Besides showing her emotional range, the film is also a testament to Hewitt’s personal growth and being “at the right place” in her life to take on this part.
“I’ve had these types of things come around a lot and I never did them because I was like, ‘I couldn’t even act that if I tried. I don’t know that woman yet, I don’t know that part.’ And I do right now, where I am in my life,” she says. “I was ready to be open to a new side of life and see why certain woman do things and find themselves in this situation.”
Looking to the future, Hewitt says she’s still figuring out what to tackle next. Despite Ghost Whisperer’s surprise cancellation in May after five seasons on CBS, she’s says she’s looking at some TV projects as well as film roles. After showing a new side of herself in The Client List, she sounds ready to continue experimenting and jumping between genres.
“Some of the TV stuff I’m looking at is comedy stuff. I think maybe if I do jump in, I’d like to try something a little lighter and maybe not with the one-hour drama schedule,” she says. “But I’m not in a rush to move back into TV right away, and if I do, it will probably be under different circumstances.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt Refuses to Weigh Herself
The Ghost Whisperer star is convinced women the world over would feel better if they followed her example and threw out their bathroom scales — because she feels far more confident about her body since she did so.
“I don’t have scales any more and I don’t weigh myself,” she said. “I would urge women everywhere to throw out their scales.
“Even when I go to the doctor’s office I’m like, ‘Don’t tell me’. Just write it on your chart and don’t tell me.’ It does you no good to know.”
Jennifer recently urged young women not to obsess about weight.
“When I meet young girls, I’m always like, ‘Just do me one favor,’” she said last month.
“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.”
