But is the 32-year-old actress pairing her new hair with an old flame? It sure looks that way! A source tells E! News exclusively that Hewitt has rekindled her romance with actor Jamie Kennedy. (The Ghost Whisperer costars enjoyed a year-long romance that ended with a high-profile split in March 2010.) Late last year, Hewitt split with actor Jarod Einsohn. Fortunately for the star, her old beau was conveniently unattached as well. "They are dating again," the source tells us, adding that the reunited couple has been enjoying sleepovers at Kennedy's L.A. condo. Hewitt's Twitter feed certainly has been lovey-dovey the past month. She's retweeted Love Quotes and Megan Fox's parody Twitter account's uplifting messages about romance and choosing to "look beyond the imperfections" in order to be happy. Research MissionJennifer Love Hewitt was spotted shopping for toys at the Hustler store the other night on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. Hewitt was solo and, according to our spy, “had a few pairs of thongs in her hand and was perusing the ‘toys’ section before making a purchase.” Perhaps the actress was doing some research for her new role in the Lifetime series “The Client List,” in which she plays a Texas mom- turned-prostitute.

The latest picture is the third photograph the star has posted from the shoot. Another black and white picture shows her looking stunning in a clinging black dress and white polka dot cardigan with her dark hair swept up into an elegant chignon.

In the TV movie, based on a true story, Hewitt played a Texas housewife whose husband injures his knee and can't work. To support the family, she begins work at a day spa only to learn the business offers much more than just massages. She soon partners with the spa's disorganized owner to run the business. It looks like the series will turn Hewitt's character into a single mom who enters the "spa" biz only after her husband abandons her. She will struggle to balance duties as a single mom in a conservative town and her career as a determined businesswoman who must hold together a group of fiery and unpredictable employees. Lifetime has also signed a development deal for both potential series and movies with Hewitt's production company, Fedora Films, which also include Hewitt directing an upcoming Lifetime movie. "Beloved by viewers, Jennifer Love Hewitt is an amazing talent on and off the screen and we are very excited about continuing our relationship with her on The Client List," said Lifetime Networks' president and general manager, Nancy Dubuc, told the site. "This project falls in line with our strategy to expand Lifetime's slate with unapologetic programming that will surprise audiences." Jordan Budde (Beverly Hills, 90210) adapted the film to series, and the film's producers Dannielle Thomas, Howard Braunstein, Michael Jaffe and AJ Rinella will also executive-produce the series alongside Hewitt. "Jordan Budde has written a show that truly reflects the spirit of the movie and I am looking forward to an amazing partnership with Lifetime as both a producer and actress," Hewitt said. This will be Hewitt's first series since Ghost Whisperer, which was canceled by CBS in 2010 after five seasons. She most recently guest-starred on Law & Order: SVU last season and starred in the CBS TV movie The Lost Valentine.

In the drama, a TV reporter's (Hewitt) own love life is impacted by her Valentine's Day-themed assignment to profile a woman (White) whose love for her husband remains as strong as when she last saw him several months before he was declared MIA while serving during WWII. The movie begins during WWII when Caroline (Meghann Fahy), a pregnant young woman, goes to Union Station to see her navy pilot husband, Neil Thomas (Billy Magnussen), off as he departs for active duty. It's Valentine's Day and happens to also be their one-year wedding anniversary. Before their son is born, Neil's plane goes down in the Pacific and he's declared missing in action and never located. But every year on their anniversary-up to present day-a now older Caroline (White), who never remarried, returns to Union Station to salute the memory of her lost husband. Sixty-five years later, Susan (Hewitt), a TV reporter, is assigned to do a human interest story on how Caroline has kept her love alive all these years. Caroline is reluctant to be profiled; however, Susan is persistent and, to the frustration of Caroline's protective grandson, Lucas (Sean Faris), Caroline eventually concedes. When Susan decides to try to help Caroline get some much-needed closure by secretly attempting to discover what happened to Neil 65 years earlier, Lucas eventually starts to see a different and appealing side of Susan. Susan, meanwhile, is torn about her long-time boyfriend's marriage proposal and finds herself wanting to spend more and more time with Lucas.
