This photo featuring Jennifer Love Hewitt and Garfield would make a cute Christmas cards design for the Ghost Whisperer starlet.

I have to admit that come Friday night at 8pm I am ready to turn on the TV to watch Ghost Whisperer. I am hooked! I was really disappointed when they killed off Melinda’s husband, Jim Clancy, in the show. He is still on the show supposedly in someone else’s body. Apparently, the producers are developing the concept that love transcends death. Shown in this way the concept seems ridiculous but what can be expected from a series that deals with trying to cross over dead souls into the light. Friday night is a chill night for me after a busy week of work reviewing Christmas cards, so Ghost Whisperer is the perfect fantasy to watch.

Jennifer Love Hewitt plays Melinda Gordon, who sees and speaks with spirits that are lingering in this world until their issues are resolved. She goes to great lengths to help them cross over. I don’t doubt the existence of this type of phenomena, but some of her encounters are a bit far fetched…but entertaining nonetheless.

Jennifer herself has celebrated some good and bad Christmas seasons lately. In 2007, she served dinners at a homeless shelter with her fiancé, Ross McCall. In 2008, Ross broke the engagement on Christmas Eve (nice guy, huh?). Some so-called friends claim that Jennifer wears her emotions on her sleeve, which is similar to the character she plays on Ghost Whisperer. In the series, she can come to tears at the drop of a hat. Ross supposedly had a hard time dealing with her emotions, so I guess that is Jennifer’s true nature and not an act.

Jennifer has quickly rebounded from any disappointment she may have suffered because of the breakup. She was happily dating her co-star, Jamie Kennedy, but the ended their relationship this past March. She has had numerous relationships prior to Ross McCall that did not work out. Jamie plays Eli James on the show; Eli can’t see spirits but can hear them.

I came across some images that would really make great Christmas cards for Jennifer, but my favorite is this one with her and Garfield. Garfield is fantastic…what a haughty attitude! Jennifer played his vet, Doctor Liz, in Garfield: The Movie. Even though it is a little outdated and obviously taken during warmer weather, it is really a joyful picture that would be wonderful as a Christmas card. Her smile is radiant, her dress is red, and who doesn’t love Garfield? Well…maybe someone hiding in a cave in Afghanistan or Pakistan may object, but most of us love the character.

Jennifer has a genuine love of animals and says she trained her Chihuahua, Mia, to do the Odie dance when she wants to eat. Apparently, Mia does the dance well because she is 13 lbs, a little heavy for a standard-sized Chihuahua.

Jennifer Love Hewitt seems to be a wholesome person, although perhaps a little compulsive. When asked in an interview what she was good at, her response was, “I’m a great house cleaner. Seriously, I am so good at cleaning. It’s unbelievable. I’m a neat freak and I just love it.” She also said she loves going to the cleaners…not sure what that is about.

She started out in show business at a young age. At the age of three, she was singing at livestock shows. She had tap dancing and ballet under her belt by the age of five. At ten she and her mother moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in both acting and singing. She became a young star after landing the role of Sarah Reeves on the popular TV show Party of Five.

Jennifer is a beautiful woman. She has had media attention from TMZ because of a picture in a bathing suit taken at a poor angle. The media is obsessed with body appearance. If someone in the public eye has the nerve to don a bathing suit, they can rely on the paparazzi to be close by to take pictures of anything they consider a body flaw. They really should consider the influence they have on the body image of the teens that view their programs or read their tabloids. An unrealistic body image can result in Anorexia or Bulimia.
