  • Jennifer Love Hewitt Thought She Was Being Punk’d When She Got the ‘Criminal Minds’ Call

    Jennifer Love Hewitt didn’t have much of a break between the cancellation of her show The Client List and the call she received to appear on Criminal Minds and says she wasn’t quite ready to make the transition.

    The 36-year-old actress planned to take a break from work to spend more time with her daughter, Autumn, but her plans were nixed when she was asked to take on the role of Kate Callahan on long-running CBS series.

    According to E! Online, Hewitt jumped on the chance to star on the show despite her plans.

    “When I got the call, I was in my sweatpants, with no makeup, making stuffed bell peppers in my kitchen, where I’ve been for a while post-baby,” the actress told the website, adding that she thought she was getting “punk’d.”

    But when she realized the call was legit, Hewitt says she was thrilled to return to television in the acclaimed series.

    “I had been on a break for a bit being a mommy,” Hewitt told Entertainment Weekly. “They were looking to add a new cast member and obviously I spent some time at CBS before, doing Ghost Whisperer. Honestly, I had always wondered and been waiting to find the perfect way to get back. My first CBS experience was so awesome. They’re great, and Les [Moonves] has been great to me. I was really excited when they called and asked to take a meeting. I met with [showrunner] Erica [Messer], who I’ve known since I was 14 from Party of Five. I hadn’t seen her in a really long time, so it was great to catch up with her. It all fit and the timing was perfect.”

  • Jennifer Love Hewitt to Join ‘Criminal Minds’ in the Fall

    Jennifer Love Hewitt will trade in her “working girl” attire for a badge come this fall.

    The Client List actress, who played a masseuse-turned-prostitute in the failed series, will join the Behavioral Analysis Unit of Criminal Minds, as an undercover FBI agent, CBS announced Tuesday.

    Hewitt will play Kate Callahan, a “seasoned undercover agent whose stellar work at the FBI has landed her a coveted position with the Behavioral Analysis Unit.”

    “We’re thrilled to introduce a new special agent by adding the very talented Jennifer Love Hewitt to our amazing cast,” said executive producer/showrunner Erica Messer. “Many of us on the show have enjoyed working with her over the years and look forward to again. We have exciting storylines planned for her character and the entire BAU team as we head into our 10th season.”

    Hewitt joins other cast members Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Shemar Moore, Matthew Gray Gubler, A.J. Cook and Kirsten Vangsness in the series’ 10th season premiere on Oct. 10.

    Hewitt is returning to CBS, the network that was home to her last network series, Ghost Whisperer, which ran for five seasons on the network before ending in 2010.

    This role could be quite a departure from what we’ve seen from the actress thus far. While a few of her roles have had some criminal element to it, this will be the first time we’ll see the actress in as a “seasoned” undercover agent, in other words edgy.

    The actress gave birth to her first child, daughter Autumn James Hallisay, just weeks after the cancelation of The Client List.

    Hewitt’s other acting credits include Party of Five and the horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer.

  • Jennifer Love Hewitt Gives Birth To Baby Girl

    Jennifer Love Hewitt is still a newlywed, but she gave birth to a baby girl yesterday. She and her husband decided to keep the gender of the baby a secret, but she had revealed that she was pregnant in June.

    She had revealed that she was engaged at the time too, and they have secretly tied the knot since then, since there was never any news of a marriage. Hewitt is married to Brian Hallisay, the co-star of her former show, The Client List.

    The couple met on the set of their show, and have been together since 2012. Their daughter, Autumn James Hallisay, was born on Tuesday, November 26th.

    The 34-year-old actress was formerly seen in the I Know What You Did Last Summer movies, and was also the star of The Ghost Whisperer for several seasons.

    Recently, her show The Client List was a hit on LIfetime, but was cancelled earlier this month, which sparked several fans to go crazy over the news.

    In order to be more old-fashioned with the pregnancy, Jennifer Love Hewitt chose make the baby’s gender a surprise until it was time to meet the little one. She told ABC News in August that “It’s one of life’s greatest surprises and we wanted to keep it that way.” It certainly is something that can be a surprise for a long time if a woman chooses to keep it that way.

    The couple even had a gender neutral baby shower in October, something that might some odd in today’s times, since often gifts are geared more toward one sex. It seems silly to only buy certain colors of clothing for one sex anyway though, and could possibly be the reason that she wanted to do it that way.

    Jennifer Love Hewitt is very excited to welcome her new baby into the world, and has said that she has always wanted to be a mom. She also mentioned, “I had a great relationship with mine. I’m ready to pass on to my child all the great love that my mom had for me.”

    Jennifer Love Hewitt Has a Baby Girl

    Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, 34, gave birth to a baby girl named Autumn James on Tuesday, November 26th. Love Hewitt’s publicist also revealed to US Weekly that The Client List star also recently married the baby’s father, costar Brian Hallisay, 35, in a quiet ceremony.

    “Jennifer Love Hewitt and her husband Brian Hallisay are thrilled to announce the birth of their daughter,” Love Hewitt’s representative says, and a source adds that the couple “got married recently in private.”

    Back in June, Love Hewitt announced that she was expecting, but wanted to keep the gender of the baby a surprise. “You sort of have these pictures in your mind of what (the baby’s going to look like),” Love Hewitt said. “I’m really excited to see what he or she is going to look like!”

    Below is a clip of the new parents on The Client List:

    The actress, producer, author, television director and singer-songwriter got her start on the Disney Channel series Kids Incorporated. Her first major role was as the character Sarah Reeves Merrin, on Fox’s Party of Five, from 1995-2000. Love Hewitt also starred as Melinda Gordon on CBS’ Ghost Whisperer from 2005-2010, and is currently featured on Lifetime’s The Client List, which garnered her a Golden Globe nomination. The Client List was cancelled this year.

    On her pregnancy, Love Hewitt commented, “I think most people, when they’re getting ready to be a mom, they go, ‘Oh my gosh, I have to have all of the answers right now,’ but every kid is different, every parent is different and every child and parent relationship is different, so you just sort of have to wait until you’re in it and do the best that you can to try to be Zen in the middle of it all.”

    Before working on The Client List together, Love Hewitt and Hallisay were both featured on the defunct NBC series Love Bites. The couple began dating in 2012.

  • Lifetime Cancels “The Client List”

    Lifetime Cancels “The Client List”

    Those of you wondering who Riley would end up with on the next season of “The Client List” may never know. Lifetime has crossed the show off of their schedule after only two seasons, leaving us with many loose ends.

    The announcement comes five months after Deadline first reported Hewitt and the Lifetime and Sony executives were having a “creative standoff” on how to go about portraying Hewitt’s pregnancy on the show. She is expecting a baby with co-star and fiancé, Brian Hallisay.

    Hallisay plays Hewitt’s husband, and Hewitt wanted him to play the part of the babies daddy on the show. However, the executives wanted the other male co-star, Colin Egglesfield’s character, to be the father of the child onscreen.

    “There are many story lines we are exploring,” Hewitt’s rep told Deadline about the issue. “So any suggestion that we are not doing our best to develop a great season is simply not accurate.”

    Despite the cancellation of the show, Hewitt and Hallisay are very excited about the pregnancy. “This is a wonderful time and we are looking forward to starting our family together,” the couple said in a statement.

    Another possible reason for the cancellation is the show’s ratings for season two. 2.7 million people viewed the premiere, while only 2 million tuned in for the season two finale. Whatever the reason may be, fans are not happy about it. Many took to Twitter to show their disappointment.
