Jennifer Love Hewitt, our favorite sweet-faced former movie star, recently broke off her engagement with some actor named Ross McCall, who, despite his anonymity, was really, really good-looking.  Suddenly, the girl next door turned more into Hugh Hefner’s “The Girls Next Door”, according to US Weekly and a smattering of ex-boyfriends.  Although Hewitt and McCall had already set their wedding date, and Hewitt had already bought her wedding dress, the whole commitment thing turned out to be not so much her style.

Always Engaged, Never Married.

Always Engaged, Never Married.

Nice to a fault, McCall said: “We are both still wearing our rings.”  HE’S wearing a ring already?  It’s a relatively new trend for men to wear engagement rings, and it’s certainly more popular with gay men, but someone as whipped as McCall clearly qualifies.  According to costume designer Claudia Wick of Hewitt’s small-screen series “Ghost Whisperer” (has anyone really seen it?), the actress was “needy and immature” (US Weekly).  She would call her fiancé, beg him to come to the set, and beg for him to say ‘I love you’.  How endearing that must have been.  Yet McCall stuck around, even though nobody would have ever heard of him had he not been engaged to someone who used to be famous.

Jennifer Love Hewitt became famous on the television show “Party of Five”.  She was very popular with the boys because she had the face of an angel and the rack of porn star.  She moved on to movies that capitalized on these assets, and began dating Rich Cronin of the former boy-band LFO.  He was the good-looking one.  Cronin, on the Howard Stern show, revealed that the girl aptly called ‘Love’ by her friends gave him an eternity ring and told him: “Listen, I want to marry you.  We’re going to be together forever.”

Forever turned out to be two years, after which Cronin got a phone call from a friend to check out the latest US Weekly, which featured pictures of his girlfriend and various men.  When he called his beloved to straighten things out, she went ballistic on him, saying that it wasn’t true.  Then she dumped him 3 days later.

Evidently, Hewitt must have had a punch card at Cartier, because she got the very same ring for another boyfriend, Jeff Timmons of the boy-band 98 Degrees, which may or may not be the one Justin Timberlake was in.  No word on where Justin was at this time.  Probably still rockin’ the blonde ‘fro and matching outfits with Britney Spears.

Regardless, our beloved Jennifer is now single, short 3 diamond rings and walking around with a self-esteem problem the size of Texas.  But she’s single, gentleman, so if you’re looking to score a diamond ring, try the set of “Ghost Whisperer”.  If it’s still on.
