Celebrity Justice
Jennifer Love Hewitt $ued by Former Manager

Posted Apr 28th 2007 3:24AM by TMZ Staff

Jennifer Love HewittTMZ has obtained a lawsuit filed against sexy TV star Jennifer Love Hewitt. The suit, filed Friday in a Los Angeles County Superior Court, claims Hewitt owes her former management company for brokering the seven-year deal for her hit show "The Ghost Whisperer."

In court docs obtained by TMZ, Handprint Management alleges that J-Love breached her contract, and claims her career had been stalled prior to landing a role on the hit series. They say their work brought her "back to national prominence as a television star."

Jennifer cut ties with Handprint in March 2005, but the lawsuit claims that her big deal for "Ghost" was struck on their watch. Handprint also says Hewitt has refused to pay for the second season.

The suit is seeking a minimum of $350,000 in damages.

2. Miss Love Hewitt will no longer be represented by Handprint Management. She will be represented by my handprint on her fine ass.

5. I do like "Ghost Whisper". I watched it tonite. And yes her boobs were hanging out. Sad thing is, she was attending a funeral. And as for as Medium goes I hate her hair. way to short. Please give her some extensions so her hair is not the same length as her husbands(on the show). The two shows r kind of alike. Ghost Whisper trys to cross ppl over to the other side and Medium trys to solve crimes.

6. No matter how you slice it, she's still a "B" at best. At this point, this kind of publicity helps her to be relevent. She ought to be thankful for gossip sites like these...that's all she's basically got left!

7. #3 that to me also does look like a wax statue of her. What is $350,000 for a woman on a show. She was on "Party of Five" before this and has recorded a record. "Will & Grace creaters just settled for $45 mill. $350,000 is/should be pocket change.

8. I love this show and I hope it stays on for a long time to come. I also love the show Medium. I watch both of these shows each and every week and my only complaint is that we have to deal with the repeats throughout the seasons.

9. She will beat that case. If she doesn't, everyone with a hit show that's changed representation midstream will be hounded for a hand-out.

Also, Ghost Whisperer and Medium are both terrible shows. At least Ghost Whisperer offers up JLH's glorious breasts.

10. LOL....Kelly

Yes, I agree with you. They have Patricia Arquette's hair too short on the show. Wouldn't you say her husband' s hair is longer?

11. I like both Ghost Whisperer and Medium. I am glad to hear that JLH signed a 7 yr deal with GW!

13. Hewitt's career stalled? Didn't you just love her artistic work in "The Tuxedo"?

14. Shame, Shame, Shame.

Jennifer should remember that it is not a good thing to refuse to pay the dues. If she could get the roles herself why did she hire the managers. Managers have contacts with studios and perform very useful service. But after they do the work it is viciousness on ghe part of the managers to refuse to pay. The managers have to make a living. She should remember that she would need roles in the futue. No body would hire her if she does not fulfill her obligations. Pay up Jennifer. Pay up. Settle it with your managers. The managers have very reasonable fees like less than 10%. I'd not work for ten percent. That is why I have no stars to manage.

15. I don't like Ghost Whisper or Medium, but at least Patricia can act and her boobs aren't on display in every scene.
