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 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.”

I have just added photos of Jennifer from her new movie, “The Client List”. I added 13 HQ photos including stills, posters and promos!

“The Client List” will be airing on the Lifetime television network on July 19 at 9 pm et/pt!

The trailer for “The Client List” has been released! The film will air on the Lifetime network in July.

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.
