WHAT HAPPENS TO GHOST WHISPERER'S JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT IN LAS VEGAS DOESN'T STAY THERE ANYMORE.




In her CBS series, Ghost Whisperer, Jennifer Love Hewitt plays a newlywed ­antiques-store owner with a gift for communicating with the dead. But in real life, Hewitt likes to walk among the living in one of the most frenetic cities on earth, Las Vegas. Although the dark-haired beauty lives in Los Angeles, she regularly ­escapes to Vegas from an increasingly hectic schedule. It's been getting busier by the moment ever since Hewitt rolled out of Killeen, Texas, set on becoming a star.

She already had a good start. At age three, she was in tap dancing and ballet classes. At four, she entertained a Texas restaurant/dance-hall audience with her version of "Help Me Make It through the Night." By six, Hewitt sang Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All" at a livestock show. At eight, she joined a song-and-dance troupe called the Texas­ Show Team, which toured the world for LA Gear. After moving to Los Angeles with her mom, the young actress appeared first in scores of TV commercials, then in the Disney kids' series Kids Incorporated, and soon after, in the popular TV series Party of Five. It wasn't long before she was starring in films such as Heartbreakers, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Tuxedo, and as the legendary Audrey Hepburn in the TV movie The Audrey Hepburn Story.­ In 2005, she landed her starring role on Ghost Whisperer. All along, she's also been working as a singer/songwriter, touring the world and releasing four albums.
