Shameless!
Jennifer Love Hewitt has been sued by her former management company, Handprint Entertainment. In a complaint filed on April 27, the company says that it’s owed at least $350,000 in past commissions, including commissions stemming from Hewitt’s current show, “The Ghost Whisperer.”
She fired Handprint back in March 2005 and, according to the lawsuit, stopped paying them their “Ghost” commissions in 2006 (commissions the company says it’s owed based on an oral agreement from 2002).
The opening paragraph of the complaint has some fun at Hewitt’s expense (emphasis is mine):
1. Jennifer Love Hewitt (“Love Hewitt”) currently stars in the hit television show, “The Ghost Whisperer,” in which she plays a young woman with the unique ability to talk to “earth bound spirits” who seek help in “resolving unfinished business with the living.” In real life, however, Hewitt is having troubles “resolving unfinished business with the living.” Listening to the tortious whispers of her new manager, Love Hewitt has breached….
The complaint also works in a “zinger” reference to Hewitt’s movie I Know What You Did Last Summer, saying she “knows what she did last season” when she decided to skimp on paying the company the 10% commission it claims it’s owed.
Now you might be asking yourself what is shameless about this lawsuit. Nothing, really. Instead, the title of this entry simply refers to this shameless excuse to show pictures of Jennifer Love’s Hewitts:
