Diamonds, Engagement Rings & Diamond Jewelry in popular culture

There's only one word for why this woman can't keep a man: NEEDY

When Jennifer Love Hewitt first became famous in teen movies as the All-American Girl Next Door, everyone thought she was a babe.  First, she was the Party of Five young babe.  Then she grew into the I Know What You Did Last Summer babe.  It is some slight perversion men have with her angelic baby face on the body of a porn star.  And the girlish voice to match.  She’s 31 now and still sounds like she’s 9.  But from her first famous boyfriend (Blossom’s Joey Lawrence, famous for playing dumb guys convincingly) on, J Love was looking to get married. 

When she and Jamie Kennedy started dating, it took about five minutes before everyone was asking when the couple would get engaged.  This caused a bit of panic in Kennedy, who seems to revel in being single.  After he called her “pear ass” while they were on vacation together, the relationship was on the rocks, but J Love loves love and stuck with him.  She told the press that she didn’t want to get married right away, but that if she didn’t get an engagement ring after a year, there would be a problem.

Here we are, a year later.  And Jennifer Love Hewitt finds herself single again.  Rumors of her possessiveness started early.  She seemed to buy Tiffany eternity rings by the crate, giving them to each boyfriend along the way to mark her territory.   She gave one to boy-bander Rich Cronin in 1999, and then ended up dumping him over the phone when she found someone more marriage-minded.  This self-proclaimed “relationship girl” went through Carson Daly, Wilmer Valderrama, Craig Bierko, John Mayer, John Cusack and a few others before she found her soul mate in Ross McCall.  But then they broke up.  Ten minutes later, Kennedy was at the plate.

And after a year of the sweet-faced girl nagging him to death, the two declared an “amicable split”.  Working together on Ghost Whisperer should be a total blast for them now. 

The split came just in time for the publishing of Hewitt’s first book, entitled “The Day I Shot Cupid: My Name Is Jennifer Love Hewitt and I’m A Love-Aholic”.  How embarrassing.  But, after a sassy new haircut, she bravely went to her book signings and posed for the cameras.  Basically, it seems that her book is how she sees her dating history, and how it is unlike the stories from the media.  “My dating life has been written about really since I was 15,” she told the Associated Press.  “So this book is my way of saying, ‘No, this is who I am and this is what I’ve really thought about that, and these are the things that I’ve done that maybe you didn’t read about”. 

Sounds fascinating.

It shouldn’t be long before she has another man on her arm.  She’s great at finding them. 

And what’s sexier to a man than a woman who writes a book with the word “love-aholic” in the title?
