Hi.
I'm such a fan of yours.
Well, thank you.
I'm a fan of yours as well.
I love the show.
I'm glad.
I'm glad that people love the show
and that you wanted to be here.
I'm so excited.
And I've seen Finding Nemo six times.
I have a little bit of a problem.
Now, well, I've only seen it once, and I'm in it.
But I just thought you were so adorable.
It was awesome.
Thank you.
It's a good movie.
It's a very good movie.
It's a great movie.
Six times.
Do you plan on seeing it more?
Yeah.
I can't wait for the DVD.
When is it coming out?
Do you know?
I think November.
Awesome.
I'll have it then.
Well, good.
I'll watch your movies over and over again too.
Please don't.
I brought you a present.
I saw someone bring something out.
Can I give it to you?
Of course you can.
I love presents.
Here you go.
I got this for you to wear in the makeup and hair chair
while you're getting ready because you have your new show
and everything.
I didn't make it.
Juicy made it for you.
Juicy made it?
Yes.
I love Juicy.
And I have a matching one, so I can support you.
Oh, this is great.
Isn't it cool?
Yes.
Bring me gifts, if anybody else comes on.
This is great.
It has my name on it.
We have matching ones.
Oh my goodness.
Should I put mine on too?
Yeah.
Hold on.
I'll put mine on too.
Yeah, because it's a little chilly in here anyway.
Perfect.
Here we go.
This is something that J.Lo would wear.
We're like the Pink Ladies now.
Yeah.
From Grease.
That wasn't funny.
I thought you meant Pink Lady, like in Dawn.
Remember them?
Or it wasn't Pink Lady a group?
This is nice.
We look really good together.
Where's your mic, though?
That's the only--
There it is.
There you go.
There it is.
You look very nice.
Thanks.
I love this.
Thank you for putting it on.
I'm going to wear it every day.
I hope so.
This is better than having to worry about what to wear.
I'll have little warm suits.
They can make it for you in every color.
I like that you're supporting me.
And you're going to wear-- now, will you wear that out?
Yeah, it's going to be odd when I wear it.
But I'm-- they'll be like, her name is not Ellen.
But I'm going to wear it and support your show.
No--
Because I dig your show.
You could start my posse.
You could be my first posse.
Can I?
Yes.
And then everyone will wear--
So when you travel, I get to go with you.
Yes.
And just wear sunglasses and not talk to people
and just be there to support you.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
And then you'll get to meet all kinds of people
because I understand that you really do get this excited.
Now, do you give other people gifts?
I feel like--
I don't.
Good.
I get-- no.
I have a problem meeting celebrities.
I've done well so far with you.
You are a celebrity, though.
Yeah, but not really.
I don't really think about that.
And so when I meet famous people,
I make a fool of myself.
Like in what way?
Well, I cried in front of Catherine Zeta-Jones
when I met her.
I'm not really sure where the crying came from.
It just happened.
Like weeping crying, or just a little bit teary?
No, like, hi.
It's so nice to meet you, like that.
She's like, scary.
Security.
Yeah.
And then Harrison Ford I saw on the Sony lot.
And Harrison-- I just went, Harrison.
And it just flew out of my mouth.
And then I went up to meet him, and all I could say
was we had good sandwiches on our craft service table
at Party of Five.
And if you wanted one, I'd be happy to serve him.
And that was really not cool.
Save one for Lisa at the Emmys.
Yeah.
We have good sandwiches.
And I'll be happy to give you one.
It works out really well.
Great.
Did you cry for him?
No, I didn't.
I cried over Johnny Depp, though,
and I threw myself on the floor.
Would you cry for me?
Can you do it on command?
I can't.
You can't?
I can't.
But I'll cry for you at another time, I promise.
And I'll film it.
And then I'll send it to you.
Well, you're an actress.
You should be able to cry on command.
You're right.
I should.
This is keeping me from getting my next job, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah, if you don't work again, it's right here.
But I mostly do comedies.
So that's OK.
No.
I don't think it's important to cry.
No.
What if I did?
What if I just started weeping all of a sudden?
That would be awesome.
Now, do people call you Jennifer?
Do they call you J--
you could be called J.Lo.
Sometimes I get the J.Lo thing.
You do?
Yeah.
Do you like it?
No.
It's kind of annoying.
But sometimes they call me J.Lo Hewitt.
That's the new thing, which is just odd.
I prefer Love.
Love is fine.
Is that what people call you, Love?
Yeah.
Hello, Love.
It felt very British.
Hello, Love.
It's confusing when I go to London.
I'm always like, yes?
So why am I--
people are telling me about your driving skills.
And I don't know what that means.
But what's happening?
Are you a bad driver?
Yeah.
I'm not very good.
I get a little nervous.
I'm kind of a nervous person in general.
No.
Yeah.
But I don't cry when I'm driving.
I just get nervous.
I try to handle the situation.
And my brother just had this beeping thing
installed in my car.
So if I get close to anything, it
goes beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,
like that, which just scares me and makes
me want to hit people.
I have a car that.
Does anybody have that?
You do?
Yes.
What do you mean, he installed it?
Mine, it was in the car when I bought it.
And it beeps.
And as you get closer to something,
it beeps faster, which makes you more--
Nervous.
--nervous.
I know.
And you don't know what you're close to because it
beeps on all sides.
It beeps when you go forward.
It beeps when you're near something.
So you're looking all around.
It's a good idea.
And beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
And you're just panicked.
It's a good idea.
But it doesn't work well for me because then I just
end up throwing on the brake and having a small heart attack.
So I'm like, where's the beeping coming from?
What am I about to hit?
But my brother had it installed in my car.
I went away on a trip.
I came back, and my car was beeping.
It's really not good.
Take it out.
I'd like to.
And I can just tell you're not really a good driver by the way
you said you throw on the brake.
I don't think we throw on brakes.
Do you just pull the emergency brake on all of a sudden?
I just pop wheelies in the middle of traffic.
No, I'm just not very good.
But I'm getting better.
Yeah, well, we can help you with that.
And let's when we come back, I want to talk about happened
to your wrist in this picture here in the magazine.
So we'll be back with more Jennifer Love Hewitt right
after this.
We're back with the talented Jennifer Love Hewitt,
or Love, as we all will call her from now on.
And that was in that video.
You're such a talented young lady.
Thank you.
And this was taken when you went to the American Music Awards?
I did.
And you wore this pretty outfit, and you
broke your arm or something?
Well, that's what they think.
But actually, this was like a $1,000 piece
of vintage jewelry arm band fashion statement thing.
And when I got to the red carpet,
I couldn't figure out-- everybody was like,
is your arm OK?
Is your arm OK?
And I was like, yeah, it's fine, but thanks so much for asking.
I'm not really sure what they're talking about.
And then I get to the end of the red carpet,
and I'm asking my friend who's with me.
I'm like, what are they talking about?
And she goes, everybody thinks that thing on your arm
is a cast.
And I'm like, no, this is my one chance to be rock star cool.
And everybody thinks I've broken my arm.
And now, they put me in accident prone, so embarrassing.
And I feel really bad for the designer.
I liked it, designer, wherever you are.
It was $1,000, that wrap?
It was.
That's too much.
Yeah.
I thought it was cool.
It is cool.
But--
Not that cool.
--you could have just taken some tissue and wrapped that around.
I'm sure it's nice.
Send me some armbands.
I'll wear them.
And I'm sure they'll--
I'll send it to you.
They'll catch on.
You just don't see a lot of people wearing them.
You don't.
No.
And I never will again.
Yeah.
But you were trying to be a bad girl because you're
such a good girl.
Yeah.
I think that's what you were trying to do.
You were trying to get this--
if you don't know, Jennifer Love is so--
you don't drink.
You don't do drugs.
You don't ever curse.
No.
I made a promise to my grandmother
that I would really try to never do
that because she believes that ladies don't use foul language.
Hell, no.
And so I made a promise that I wouldn't do that.
So my grandmother and I kind of have this bet
that if I really am angry about something
and I feel like going to come out, I can call her.
And I'm like, Grandma, I'm having a rough day.
I need you to say some stuff.
And she'll just yell them all out into the phone.
Wait, you call--
She curses for me.
--her when you want to curse and your grandmother
curses for you?
Yeah, she does it for me.
That's hilarious.
It's kind of sick.
What kind of words does she say?
The bad ones.
You slam your finger in a car door,
and you dial your grandmother real quick?
Yeah, I'm just kind of like, mmm.
What would you say?
Grandma?
Did you go, darn the luck?
Or what do you do when you slam your finger in the--
I gutturally yell a lot, like ugh.
And then I call my grandma, and I'm like, Grandma,
I just slammed my finger in the door.
You got to help me out.
And then she's like, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep,
bleep, bleep, bleep.
And I'm like, oh, thanks.
You're thinking of your car, I think.
That was your car.
Yeah.
Well, we're going to call your grandmother next time
you're on.
And we'll just bleep her out constantly.
Perfect.
But let's have her just curse for us.
She'd love it.
She's from Texas.
So she likes that stuff.
I love that she says a lady doesn't curse,
but yet, she curses for you.
Yeah.
Thanks for being on the show, Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Thanks for having me.
