First she was an actress. Then she was a singer (remember "BareNaked"?). Now, Jennifer Love Hewitt is carving a path for herself as an author, with two whole books in the works. (For those of you who are keeping count, that's one less than Lauren Conrad. Really.) So what great literary works can we expect to see in bookstores under Hewitt, Jennifer Love? In 2010, she'll release a dating and relationship guide — called The Day I Shot Cupid — and this November, a ten-issue comic book series about a possessed music box called, creatively enough, Jennifer Love Hewitt's The Music Box.
Okay, I'm going to try not to judge her books before there is even a cover to judge … although it is extremely hard not to (Self-control win!). Instead, I'm going to wonder why Hewitt is choosing this new creative path. Is it because her TV and film career has, let's face it, fizzled? Yes, Ghost Whisperer attracts a good chunk of viewers, but remember when $126 million worth of viewers saw Hewitt's I Know What You Did Last Summer? (And when she graced every magazine in the aisle?) Would a few bylines really help her career status? Certainly, it worked for Tori Spelling, who enjoyed a career resurgence after she released her own best-seller, sTori Telling. But unless Cupid reveals juicy details about Hewitt's own relationships with the likes of, say, Carson Daly and John Mayer – who's probably Twittered about it already — I doubt Hewitt can expect to be reeling in the literary accolades.
Do you think a writing career will help Hewitt? Would you read her books? And can you think of any other C-lister who has enjoyed a career bump, thanks to a book?
Okay, I’m no Hewitt apologist, but this article is total bull. You slant it completely against her without sampling any of her writing. Is there something wrong with someone wanting to branch out? Dozens of stars are doing it today (Shatner, Ventimiglia, Cage and others in comics and, well, basically everyone with memoirs) and you decided to pick on Love Hewitt because…well…it was a slow news day?
You also dismiss “Ghost Whisperer” which, correct me if I’m wrong (and I’m not), is Friday’s number one show and still pulls in close to ten million viewers a week.
Kate, I normally like your writing, but it seems like you grabbed a knife and just decided to begin stabbing the reputation of whoever popped into your head first. This article belongs on Perez Hilton, not here, on what is supposed to be a reputable Web site. Shame on you.
Women for some reason just don’t like Jennifer Love Hewitt. I don’t think it would matter if she was saving baby seals from the mallet, women would still find something to dislike about her.
If you were any woman and you had to compete with a doll like that you’d definatley have just a little resent! AhhHaa, YEAHbuddy!
Dear Kate:
Do your homework, thoroughly.
I don’t think she’s a lister… she’s up there next to Sandra Bullock and the others
Kate, why the Hate???
Unless it is a book of pictures of her breasts no one will care. Her breasts are the only reason she is famous.
She’s an attention-seeking nobody. She CALLS the paps to take pictures of her in random places, or blatently holding whichever magazine the pap is with. She lies. She’s annoying. She will do ANYTHING for attention. I suppose this includes “writing” a book.
All I have to say about Jennifer Love Hewitt is … UGGGGHHH…..
Wow! You are really nasty and I believe without any reason. I love Jennifer, she is so adorable and with great sense of humour and with a beautiful laugh. I really appreciate her work in GW and I don’t really understand all this hate… I mean she is an actress not a killer!! And she is actually so lovely. You girls need to get out and take a relaxing walk!
Next she can write, direct, and star in her own Broadway musical
hmmmm … I did a quick search and didn’t find any film career for Kate Ward, no
TV shows (much less one that is #1 in its time slot), no albums, no comic books,
no books of any kind, no listing on any “sexiest woman” list, or any directing
or producing credits.
C-lister? Which list is Kate Ward on? Does anyone care?
You people who constantly defend J-Love (like she’s some kind of master thespian) are hilarious.
JLH has never done a stitch of quality work (don’t get me started on GW–a total joke of a show that airs on Matlock Fridays); and she’s in the business of being photographed as much as possible, which is why her last squeeze got fed up and dumped her. (I’m a straight guy, BTW.) Kate Ward has it right on the mark; dumping on Ms. Ward is completely not the issue at hand, as much as you might want it to be.
Well, i think Jennifer is great especially on the ghost whisperer, and people who take the time to write about her whether it is good or bad care enough about her enough to do so.
I love Jennifer love Hewitt. No matter what she does she has a special place in my heart.She happens to be the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.
i love jennifer.
