After whispering to ghosts and playing a masseuse in a summer TV movie, Jennifer Love Hewitt is taking on the most serious role of her career. “In our third hour, airing September 29, Jennifer will be playing a woman named Vicki who has been raped multiple times and is afraid to leave her house,” Law & Order: SVU executive producer Neal Baer tells me exclusively. “One of the reasons we wanted to do this episode is because it addresses Mariska Hargitay’s passion for rape kits, which can help gather evidence to convict the rapists. But for some reason these kits have been sitting around unopened in cities all over the country.”

21. – Jennfier Love Hewitt

Hewitt’s career began in the Disney Channel series “Kids Incorporated” and grew with roles in “Party of Five” and “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” She starred in CBS’s hit, “Ghost Whisperer.”

Judging from the ratings for the two biggest original movie premieres of 2010, viewers have a thing for teenage pregnancies and prostitutes.

Lifetime’s “The Client List,” starring Jennifer Love Hewitt and Cybill Shepherd, has earned the title of 2010’s “second most watched original movie premiere on cable,” TVByTheNumbers.com reports.

The program, which is based on a true story, attracted 3.9 million viewers when it debuted Monday, July 19.

Love Hewitt portrayed Samantha Horton, a former homecoming queen and physical therapist who takes a job at a massage studio where the staff are actually prostitutes servicing powerful and wealthy men.

So what’s the most watched original movie premiere on cable this year? Lifetime’s “Pregnancy Pact,” also based on a true story, which originally aired January 23.

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.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt has some unlikely support for her racy new role in Lifetime movie The Client List.

“My mom’s like, ‘I’m so proud. You’re pole dancing and you’re going to play a prostitute. Awesome!’” Hewitt, 31, tells Entertainment Tonight. “It’s like, ‘Yeah, what you always dreamed about, mama!’ But you know, it’s a great part.”

Hewitt plays Samantha Horton in the drama, premiering tonight at 9 p.m./ET on Lifetime, about a former homecoming queen who resorts to prostitution to support her family through the recession. Cybill Shepherd stars as Samantha’s mother, Cassie.

“Given where we are economically, it’s an interesting story… this is the most recession-proof business there is!” says Hewitt, who starred in CBS’ Ghost Whisper until it was canceled in May. “It’s really a movie about the human condition, and the heart, and where life can take you.”

“[Samantha] has no choice at the end of the day but to give everything that she can in order to take care of her family,” adds Hewitt. “She really thinks she’s doing the best thing possible for them, and it just gets out of hand. … It takes her on a rollercoaster ride.”

To prep for the role, which she calls “empowering,” Hewitt took pole dancing classes “because it really, really gets you in shape [and] it also really teaches you about your inner sexuality.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt has revealed how moving books in her home have made her wonder if ghosts are real.

The 31-year-old stars in The Ghost Whisperer – which has just been cancelled after five seasons – playing Melissa Gordon, who can talk to ghosts, and a recent encounter made her question whether it’s more than just a TV show.

Jennifer revealed: “I’ve definitely had some weird experiences – I had something weird happen in my house two weeks ago.”

She explained: “I collect little miniature antique books and I had a bunch of them on this one shelf in my living room and I heard this really loud noise when I was upstairs in my bedroom. I came down and all the books were all over the floor and I was like ‘well that’s weird, but ok maybe… I don’t know’.

“So I gather the books back up and I put them back on the shelf and I go back upstairs and the second I go upstairs I hear this slamming noise again and all the books were on the floor again. I was like, ‘Alright, honestly, I was just with you all day at work, really you’ve got to come home with me too?’

“Then I realised that I was a normal person, me, just an actress, standing in my house, talking to someone who probably wasn’t there and there was obviously like a tilt problem with the book shelf and my books were on the floor and I was thinking it was a ghost and having a conversation with myself.

“I was like ‘maybe I should have a vacation or two?’.”
