Jennifer Love Hewitt is proud of her normal-sized hotness, but she’s not about to tarnish her image or let us know her grooming habits by posing nude in Playboy. Aging lothario Hugh Hefner offered the Ghost Whisperer star a “substantial amount” to pose for the men’s magazine after he saw her bikini pictures, according to In Touch, but her rep confirms that she turned it down. US Weekly reports that no money offers were given, though.

Hewitt sort-of bared all for a Hanes ad that JayBird points out was heavily airbrushed. She could do a similar semi-clothed spread for Playboy. That might cheapen her image and you can’t blame her for turning it down, although if it was seven figures she should go topless at least. It’s not like the checks are coming in. I mean she’s got Ghost Whisperer until it’s derailed by the writer’s strike, but her last movie was Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties. Let’s see – working on a talking cat movie for weeks or baring your boobs for a photoshoot that lasts a few hours? It’s not a hard decision.

Jennifer Love Hewitt’s next movie will be about a hooker housewife scandal in a small town in Texas. It seems like she missed a great opportunity to promote the film with a nude pictorial.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is shown out on 12/5/07, thanks to Splash News. One of her Hanes ads is below.
