Don’t forget that Jennifer Love Hewitt is starring in the TV movie “The Lost Valentine”, TONIGHT on CBS at 9:00pm! Make sure you tune in and/or set your DVR’s to see this all new movie starring Love!

Jennifer Love Hewitt will make her feature directorial debut in an adaptation of family ghost story “Wait Till Helen Comes” through Hewitt’s Fedora Films and Just Believe Prods.

Producers are Hewitt and producing partner A.J. Rinella with Victoria Sanchez Mandryk co-producing and Manuel Freedman exec producing. Producers are eyeing a summer start.

Sanchez Mandryk has penned the script for “Wait Till Helen Comes,” based on the novel by Mary Downing Hahn, which centers on a 12-year-old girl who’s the eldest of three children in a blended family that moves from Baltimore into a house converted from a church in the Maryland countryside. The tormented ghost of a little girl comes to haunt the 12-year-old but forms an intimate though dangerous friendship with her seven-year-old stepsister.

She directed several segments of “The Ghost Whisperer.” She and A.J. Rinella have set up “Bad Taste in Men” at ABC and an untitled comedy at Fox, as well as a series adaptation of her TV film “The Client List” at Lifetime.

I know what Jennifer Love Hewitt may be doing with her boyfriend Alex Beh this spring.

She and Beh will be in Chicago filming the coming-of-age indie flick Warren. Beh not only wrote the movie, but he’s also producing, directing and costarring in it. Hewitt is playing his ex-girlfriend.

And then she’ll be going behind the camera to make her feature film directorial debut with a big screen adaptation of children’s horror book, Wait Until Helen Comes. “I directed [Ghost Whisperer] a few times so this is new and exciting,” Hewitt told me earlier this week at TV Land’s party for Hot In Cleveland and new series Retired at 35.

She wants to shoot in the flick in Rhode Island. Casting hasn’t begun, but Hewitt said, “I would love Maria Bello to be in it. I would love her to play the mom in it.”

For now, Hewitt has Sunday’s Globes to worry about. She’s up for Best Actress in a Miniseries/TV Movie for her starring role as a suburban housewife-turned-call girl in Lifetime’s The Client List.

She’s already jotted down some notes for an acceptance speech—not because she thinks she’s a shoo-in to win. “I’m terrified to speak in public,” she confessed. “It’s bad, so I did write a few things down on a little piece of paper.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt knows, especially given her name, that she’ll always be linked to romance.

Last year, the former “Ghost Whisperer” star became an author with the relationship memoir “The Day I Shot Cupid,” and she made headlines again for having a new beau … actor-director Alex Beh. Hewitt’s next television project reaffirms her ties to love: She stars with Betty White in the “Hallmark Hall of Fame” drama “The Lost Valentine” Sunday, Jan. 30, on CBS.

“I definitely tend to gravitate toward things that have romance in them,” Hewitt confirms to Zap2it. “I had a lot of fun writing the book, and I really would like to write another one at some point, though I’m not sure when I’ll be able to do that. I learned some things from people who read the book, and I learned some things about myself on the book tour. I feel I have some things to say about that.”

However, Hewitt has nothing to say — not yet, at least — about Valentine’s Day 2011. “It’s one of my favorite holidays,” she allows, “but I don’t know what our plans are going to be.”

While she has come to terms with the end of “Ghost Whisperer,” Hewitt admits that took some time. Now a nominee for a Golden Globe Award for the Lifetime movie “The Client List,” she bought into rumors that ABC might pick up her weekly drama when CBS canceled it last spring after five seasons.

“For me, it was a total shock,” she says of realizing the series wouldn’t continue. “I thought our next season probably would be the last, just because the show had been on for a really long time. It’s hard to come up with new things that will keep people intrigued, but I never thought in a million years that was going to have been our last season.

“I was bummed for Melinda,” Hewitt adds about her spectre-seeing “Ghost Whisperer” character, “because I didn’t feel the series ended the way that she deserved for it to. We left the audience sort of hanging, and I hate that.

“When you’ve taken people on a journey for so long, the least you can do is give them a goodbye. For a show that was about unfinished business, we didn’t get to finish.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt has been nominated at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards for her role in the film “The Client List”! She’s nominated in the “Best Performance By An Actress In A Mini-Series Or Motion Picture Made For Television” – let’s keep our fingers crossed that Love will bring home the award!

Sure we have to give props to flicks like “127 Hours,” “Inception,” “The Social Network,” “The Fighter,” “The King’s Speech” and “Black Swan” for their Golden Globe nominations, but as we were watching the nominations being announced this morning, MTV Newsroom Blog editor Kyle Anderson and I were delighted to find out one of the nominations went out to Jennifer Love Hewitt for her turn as a desperate mom turned masseuse turned prostitute turned whistle blower in the greatest film of 2010 (and a Lifetime Original!), “The Client List”

Hewitt’s character in “The Client List” doesn’t chop off her arm to save herself or kidnap people’s dreams, nor does she start up a controversial multi-billion dollar social network or struggle with self-identity while she trains for a high-profile ballet performance, but Hewitt’s Samantha Horton did had an overbearing mother (just like Natalie Portman did in “Black Swan”), a drug problem and the audacity to sell out the men she “massaged” in order to face a less harsh jail sentence — that’s some straight-up Mark Zuckerberg business right there, people!

In the category of Best Performance By An Actress In A Mini-Series Or Motion Picture Made For Television, she’s up against Hayle Atwell for something called “Pillars of the Earth,” Claire Danes for those eyelash commercials (or maybe it was for “Temple Grandin”), Dame Judi Dench for “Return To Cranford” and Romola Garai for “Emma,” but of course our money is on Love to take home the coveted prize.
