Jennifer Love Hewitt is being refreshingly mature about her breakup

I used to hold Jessica Simpson in a special place in my heart. I wanted her to do well, I wanted her to find someone who loved her and treated her with respect. I wanted her to get married and have babies, not because that’s my answer for all women (it’s not), but because I thought that getting married and having babies would make Jessica happy. However, over the past few weeks of watching Jessica’s promotional tour for The Price of Beauty, I kind of hate her. While I’ve always known she’s stupid, it’s her cultural ignorance and public victim-hood that offends me. So I’m taking all of that affection I had for Jessica and I’m transferring it over to Jennifer Love Hewitt. Just because I really like how Love is playing her split from Jamie Kennedy. She’s being shockingly mature and grounded about the whole thing. Love is my new favorite:

Jennifer Love Hewitt says it isn’t tough going to work, even though she recently split from her Ghost Whisperer costar Jamie Kennedy.

“It’s fine,” she tells USA Today. “Everyone’s a grown-up. It just is what it is.”
On Tuesday, the actress, 31, releases her new book — The Day I Shot Cupid: Hello, My Name Is Jennifer Love Hewitt and I’m a Love-aholic.

Weird timing?

“It’s not the ideal situation, but the thing I’m really happy about is that I never say in the book that I know how to find perfect love or how to be in the perfect relationship,” she says. “I’m thrust back into the dating world as the book is coming out, so I feel more than ever that people will know I’m kind of with them in the trenches.”

She says it isn’t tough being single again.

“It’s what life handed me, and I’m OK with it,” she says. “I know wholeheartedly that I’m a really good partner. I think I’m a really good girlfriend, and I think that I could be a really good wife. I know that I love being able to give my love out to someone. I know there is somebody great out there for me.”

Though she’s been dubbed a “serial dater,” she says she isn’t “that different from a large group of people out there who are better and happier when they can spend time with someone.”

Despite unsuccessful relationships with everyone from John Mayer to Scottish actor (and former fiance) Ross McCall, she says: “I’m a hopeless romantic. I love love. My middle name is Love. Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday. I want to have a family and children. I am a sucker for every romantic comedy that comes out.”

Her tip for getting over a guy?

“You can allow yourself 72 hours of wallowing time,” she says. “Then you’ve got to get into the gym, stop eating the ice cream and move on.”

See? She’s coming across really well. Like, there’s no axe to grind, there are no pity parties, she doesn’t have to do interview after interview about how Jamie Kennedy needs to suck it. Now I want Love to find someone really nice and solid, someone who won’t refer to her as Pear Ass. I want her to have a quick rebound fling with Gerard Butler (just for fun!), and then move on to someone great. Maybe another television star… who is available right now? Maybe one of the dudes from Psych.

    Refreshingly mature? I call it “having a lot of practice.”

  2. Brooke says:

    didn’t read the article but her hair is making me stabby. STOP IT WITH THE HAIR!

  3. Guest says:

    Well she was just dating – not married – so nothing really to lose. No promises given – not a big deal. And as a poster said above she has done this alot.

  4. Dorothy says:

    OOOHHH I love psych but I think Gus is married and Sean is dating Jules in real life so they are out of the question. But what about the cute boy who plays her husband david conrad? or Jake Gyllenhall?????

  5. hottathanholywatta says:

    Good for her at least she isnt throwing herself a pity party like aniston

  6. Lee says:

    I never get the idea that Aniston is throwing herself a pity party. Ever. That drama is foisted on her. And again, why is she always brought up in random posts that have nothing to do with her? I just don’t get the fixation. Good or bad.

    BTW, I am so glad that Jennifer Love Hewitt is no longer with Mr. Dismissive – anybody who slights their partner publicly is not a keeper, no matter who is responsible for the eventual break-up.

  7. DogBoy says:

    It helps that she’s smokin hot.

  8. Rosanna says:

    I don’t know if calling herself “really great something” 3 times is very emotionally mature right after a breakup. I mean, I don’t advocate taking up all the blame but… taking NONE is equally disturbing… and definitely not mature.

  9. ThunderC*nt says:

    Her problem is: she’s ugly. People who think she is hot are usually ugly,too.

  10. Dawn says:

    She’s cool with me. Sometimes, relationship don’t work out. There’s no hard feelings, but it’s over.

  11. terry says:

    She is beautiful, smoking hot and very available. She also likes to brighten up her “luscious flower”. Lucky is the man who scoops her up!

  12. Norma says:

    Her reaction would be refreshing if she were 21. At 31, it should be the norm.

  13. geraldo says:

    She looks fabulous.

  14. Scout says:

    Smoking hot is definitely not what she is! I think even SHE knows that!

  15. prettytarheelfan says:

    John Stamos! Someone nice, not likely to call her a pear-ass, etc etc.

  16. noonoo says:

    why does every woman here have to be attacked if a poster doesn’t personally think they are a goddess? Must we all look like Mila Kunis to escape snide mysogynistic putdowns? Trust me there are many mnay people who actually ARE ugly (unlike J-L-H) who are worshipped by their partners family and friends nad who are a darn sight happier than many “beauties” covered in this blog. Its not like you have to look good (read PERFECT) to have value. GET OVER IT you shallow aesthetes.

  17. lucy2 says:

    And that’s why you don’t get involved with someone you work with every day. I think she’s talking a good game, but I could see her being the type to be very immature at work dealing with him. Just a guess, and maybe unfair because I don’t like her.
    Agree with Sumodo – lots of practice. I bet in a few weeks she’ll be all over the tabloids with some new guy who she’ll talk endlessly about how great he is.

  18. Macheath says:

    Her chin is…really pointy! Do you think her and Reese Witherspoon go to the same place to get them sharpened?

  19. breyan says:

    Why does it bother so many people that she is a serial dater?? It doesn’t bother her.
    I like that she stays hopeful instead of becoming a cynical man hater!
    Regardless of your age and experience, break-ups still hurt.

  20. Lisa says:

    Ugh. I couldn’t even make it through one episode of Price of Beauty. It was embarrassing to watch – riding around in that huge vehicle, tottering in her heels, complaining the whole time. You know what, Simp? A large part of the world has to eat insects for protein because they don’t have the option of getting a huge beef steak like your chunky muffin does. You don’t need to spit it all over the street and act like you’re doing the worst thing ever because you’re not. You live a really plush life – start being grateful for it!

    Sorry for the rant. Ugly Americans just piss me off.

    Her hair looks awful!!! YUCK
