Celebrities branch out in plenty of venues in which they’re not particularly qualified: fashion, perfume, music, and writing thinly-veiled biographical fiction and unoriginal cookbooks to name a few. You slap a celebrity’s name on something and people will buy it.
Jennifer Love Hewitt, who most recently pressured her new boyfriend to propose by saying during a radio show “By this time next year, if we’re not planning something, then there’s a situation,” is writing a self help relationship book for women.
She’s been romanced by the likes of John Mayer and Carson Daly, engaged to actor Ross McCall, and is currently hot and heavy with her Ghost Whisperer costar Jamie Kennedy. Love is, after all, her middle name.
With plenty of dating experience under her belt, Jennifer Love Hewitt has decided to write a book, titled The Day I Shot Cupid, addressing romantic relationships that will include everything from tips on text-flirting and how to start over after a breakup.
“I thought it was time to share the real story of what I’ve learned navigating the dating waters.” Hewitt says in a statement from Voice publishers. “Hopefully, in addition to having a good laugh, women reading this will learn from some of my hard lessons.”
The book, which is a first for the actress, will be available in March 2010.

I like Jennifer Love Hewitt and honestly wish her well in all her ventures, but she’s dating dingbat Jamie Kennedy for God’s sake. How is she going to market this book? To her credit, she says she’s sharing the difficult things she’s learned along the way. It’s probably more of a biography with a dating angle, and she has a lot of fans who will buy the book for her personal stories. If Jordan/Katie Price can make a mint selling multiple biographies about her brief life, than so can someone likable and semi-normal like Hewitt. We’ll have to see if she’s still with Kennedy by the time this book is out, but if they do break up at least she’ll have some good tidbits to add. Maybe she’ll hook up with someone who isn’t as much of a doofus, although Kennedy does seem to treat her well. He’s still sticking around after she told him on a radio show he better propose by next year.

Hmmmmm. Is that not kinda like reading a book advising how to lose weight written by Oprah? Oh wait…
She’ll make a mint off it.
Cause she’s such an expert on the topic!
Girls, she can tell us how to date a guy like Ross McCall! Oh, I forgot, they split up…
Book’s out March 2010. I predict that by then, she’ll have broken up with Kennedy and had at least one other fiancee.
she´s weird w that blond hair.
Anyway, she has a lot of experience.. she can tell us what NOT to do in a relacionship, something like Don’t do what I do (I never learn) by J.L.Hewitt.
Give me someone that has been married for many years and is still in love and adores their spouse. Then maybe I’ll buy the book. But I will def not buy a book from someone that has had so many failed relationships. Like Marie just said, all she be doing is telling us what NOT to do. Please…next!
Look for it to be on the $1 table in 2 months time.
I love that she believes herself to be an authority enough on relationships that she can write a book about it.
The best advice? If you read the book and she tells you to do something…go do the opposite.
Worthy of a mention on SNL’s Weekend Update… REALLY?
Ballsy to do anything when all everybody does is dumps on it before you even do it…Good for her. Hope it does well.
I think one of her bits of advice will be “If it looks like a duck…acts like a duck…and talks like a duck, it probably is a duck and don’t fool yourself and hope it’s going to turn into something else. And don’t waste your time hassling him because he has a speech impediment and you don’t like that.”
That dress is SOOO BEAUTIFUL. Would look better on Halle Berry.
Why does JLove look so much older than she really is? Esp the side of her arms.
I think now is the time to start my book on neuroscience.
I agree–she looks old and too heavy. She knows nothing (more than anyone else) about relationships. What a waste.
I have been having a really hard time getting over my ex, i really appreciate all your tips
