And being a size zero doesn't make you beautiful."

Hewitt's love life is also a subject of scrutiny. The actress, who continued to live with her mother well into her 20s and has long proclaimed she doesn't drink, smoke, or swear, has been linked to a bevy of celebrity boyfriends, including singer Enrique Iglesias, musician John Mayer, talk show host Carson Daly, actor-model Kip Pardue,

singer-songwriter Rich Cronin, and actor Will Friedle, among others.

In November 2007 she became engaged to Scottish actor, Ross McCall. The pair had been dating for two years, but a little more than a year after their big announcement, the pair called off their wedding plans and their relationship.

Recent Work

Recent years have seen Hewitt refocus her career on her television work. In 2005, she debuted as the lead star in the new CBS drama, The Ghost Whisperer, in which the actress plays Melinda Gordon, a young newlywed who can converse with the dead. The show has not only brought Hewitt a stable run of success (she earned a Saturn Award for Best Actress in a Television Program in 2007) but a renewed love life. In the spring of 2009 rumors circulated that she was romantically involved with her TV show co-star, Jamie Kennedy. Hewitt and Kennedy appeared together in the indie drama Cafe, movie set in Philadelphia that revolves around a coffee shop where Hewitt's character works.
