Newsflash: Simon Cowell is supposedly interested in booking Jennifer Love Hewitt to replace Britney Spears on The X Factor next season. Yes, that Jennifer Love Hewitt.
On the surface, this idea seems, well, sorta nuts. Despite five recent-ish seasons of Ghost Whisperer, Hewitt hasn’t been particularly relevant since her Party of Five days, and her brief early-aughts singing career was unmemorable at best. (Though you’ve got to admit, “BareNaked” is still pretty catchy.)
Dig a little deeper, though, and suddenly the rumor starts making a weird kind of sense. Hewitt’s certainly as famous as, say, Paula Abdul...

Cable network Oxygen said Thursday that it's getting into the action-thriller business with Banshee, an original movie that will star Taryn Manning. In the project, Manning (Hustle & Flow, 8 Mile) will portray a car thief on the run from a killer whose car she has stolen. The project, a co-production with Wishmaker Films, will premiere next year in late summer or early fall. Banshee marks a big departure for the women's-themed network, as Oxygen's previous movies -- which have included the Jennifer Love Hewitt starrer Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber and the upcoming Laura Prepon-Carrie Fisher telepic Romancing the Bride -- have been romantic comedies.
