Rove: Our next guest became a household name in the TV series party of five, but is best known for her work in the horror flick I know What you did last summer. She has a new single out -- it's called bare naked. It's in the top 20. Here she comes now, she's gonna sing it for us later, but for now please welcome Jennifer Love Hewitt!!
R: You look sensational
Jennifer: Thank you so much.
R: thank you for coming in
J: Thank you for having me
R: Now I have to ask. Just for clarification off the top. Where does love come from? Do I call you love? Is it Jen, is it -is it Hewie? What do I call you?
J: Hewie is nice, I like that.
R: Do you?
J: Yeah, that's cute. Umm, You can call me love or Jennifer, whatever you'd like. Uh, love, I got that name because I was named after my mom's best friend in college.
R: Oh, OK
J: Yes
R: So it's your middle name then? Or is it -
J: It is my middle name
R: OK There you go
J: Yes
R: It's very catchy
J: Thank you
R: I will call you love -
J: I appreciate that
R: -- if you call me honey
J: OK, sweetie pie
R: Rove 'sweetie pie' McManus, there you go [laughs]
J: Angel thighs, no. That's a weird one. I won't call you that. That's strange
R: What was that? I missed that one
J: Angel thighs. I don't know where that came from.
R: I don't know
J: [to audience] I'm not sure. We'll just ignore it
R: Maybe they've got little wings on them or something, I don't understand [grins]
J: Let's not. [laughs]
R: Uh, now of course we all discovered you're through with Party of five, but your big step into the main stream was the classic flick - the modern day classic, I know what you did last summer
J: right [laughs]
R: Is it fun to be heading into a horror film? Is it a fun role to play? Is something different?
J: I absolutely loathe horror movies
R: get out!
J: I'm terrified. I -I get afraid like, when people come up and they sneak up behind you and they're like 'boo!' like, it terrifies me - I'm scared of everything. Umm, So I'd never actually seen a horror movie before I did I know what you did last summer because I refused to watch them
R: I see
J: umm, so it was my first experience in any sort of horror genre. And I had a blast, I loved it, it was great
R: So what are the secret ingredients to making a good horror film for you then?
J: uhh, small top, big scream [beat]
R: big scream? [laughs]
J: [laughs] small top, big scream lot's of running
R: did you have screaming training?
J: No, no, uhh I think maybe when I was younger [laughs]
R: because you did a marvelous job, and we've actually got some of your greatest hits here from your work in I know what you did last summer.
J: Oh
R: Have a look it's amazing screams
J: Oh great [clips of JLH screaming as Julie in IKWYDLS] [audience cheers, JLH laughs]
R: fantastic! You're a natural! Have you got -- do you reckon you could scream for us now?
J: [screams, high pitched]
R: kill the audio guys, but why not [Both laugh, audience clap]
R: tremendous stuff
J: Thank you
R: it's good fun to do though I would think?
J: Oh, it was a blast, it was a blast. I had a really, really great time. It was uh, I lost my voice quite a bit from all the screaming, but it was great.
R: Now when a star as big as you comes in, obviously, you come with a few rumors that we read in the papers and things like that
J: yes
R: what I'd like to know about, probably most of our male viewers would like to know about did you actually date, or are you dating Enrique?
J: [laughs] no, no… we've been friends for a long time which is why I got to be in the music video with him, and sort of make-out and things. But we're just friends [laughs] R: Is there a concern because I, from what I gather, all his clips you have to smother yourself on him
J: Yeah
R: It's all - You gotta cuddle up to him
J: yeah, well I kinda made fun of him for that which is why I was actually in the video, because I used to kid him about how he always had, like, girls licking his chest and things.
R: yes
J: And I was like 'what does that have to do with your song, you nerd? Why is she licking your chest?' And I was like 'if you ever do, like a really classy video and you need to have like, you know a girl, kind of, I don't know do something other than lick your chest, call me up, I'd love to be in your video ha ha ha'. And so he called me one day and he was like 'listen, I need you to come lick my chest in a video' and I was like 'shut up!' [laughs] I was like 'what do you want me to do?' and he's like 'no, it's just I need somebody who can cry and you know, really sort of do this kind of love story thing with me in the video and I'll feel really comfortable if it's you cuz, I know that, you know, you're kind of my dorky friend and I was like 'OK, great. I'll do it'. So it was fun
R: Dorky friend, that's nice
J: and there I was and I ended up, like rubbing on his chest
R: exactly
J: I know
R: Rolling around in the cash
J: I know
R: sprung
J: It's the thing you do
R: But now you're doing music yourself, you've already had a single before. You've got the new single out now - and album - bare naked. Is there much difference? Are there parallels in singing and acting for you?
J: Um, they're both the same because of my love for them and they're both incredibly creative. I think the main difference is that with writing the record and with getting to sing, I sort of get to know a little bit more about myself and when I'm acting I sort of have to get rid of all the things that are me and, you know kind of create someone new. So at 23 it's great to be able to write a record and find out who you are as a person through music, and it's great
R: And is it nice to be making a name for yourself in music, when your single comes out and it hits the top 20 here in Australia
J: Yeah, it's amazing. It's been my biggest dream so it, it sounds silly, but it's kind of like the best time of my life right now actually. I feel really, I feel very blessed and lucky
R: Now I must say, you're probably very excited to be back down under --
J: yes
R: --because, we have Tim-tams
J: Yes. And I'm obsessed with them!
R: You're a bandit for them.
J: I love them! I actually tried to buy the Tim-tam name to bring them to the states. That's how obsessed I am
R: So when you're in the states how do you get them? Do you ask them to mail them to you?
J: I randomly meet Australian people. Swear to you. Anytime I meet someone from Australia I'm like 'Hi. Listen, umm can you send me Tim-tams? And they're like 'why? We just met you' and I'm like 'I know, but I really like them' and I will give them my address [to audience] not my personal address - don't think that way
R: all of a sudden everyone's bringing in Tim-tams
J: [laughs] [to audience] No. Don't even get any ideas [back to rove] and, yeah, I make them send me Tim-tams. I'm obsessed
R: We've actually -we've got a special present for you--
J: Do you really?
R: Like, more Tim-tams than you could poke a stick at
J: Oh my God! Oh!
R: So [roadie hands rove a massive basket of Tim-tam packets] My God
J: Oh! Thank you so much!
R: So there you go [rove gives Jennifer the basket - it nearly covers her] Good luck putting it on the carry-on luggage.
J: Oh Thank you!
R: you might want to put it on the floor, other wise we can't see you! [both laugh -- Jennifer hugs the basket protectively]
J: Thank you so much
R: Now you couldn't say that you are a Tim-tam fan unless you've done the, well I call it a Tim-tam bomb. I don't know what you call 'em when you bite one end and you -- J: with the coffee
R: Do you like doing that? J: It's my favorite thing to do
R: Would you care to indulge me?
J: Uh, sure
R: we'll load one up - I think we've got some cups…
J: we can suck the coffee through
R: suck the coffee through
J: On television
R: why not?
J: OK [Lifts the Tim-tam basket off of her lap] Oof, I've got to work out soon.
R: Now I don't know how you like your coffee. White?
J: oh, it's fine. However you like it
R: Black. Like my… men. [pause] Sorry - I got confused there
J: [grins] That's too much information
R: that was wrong
J: that's a little much
R: Now, for the uninitiated, how embarrassed they must be.
J: mmm
R: would you care to explain
J: OK. So basically what you do is you bite a little bit off of each end
R: uh huh.
J: [laughs] It takes a while to chew. And then, without choking on the stuff in your mouth, you take this [the cup of coffee]--
R: Now don't burn yourself, it could be hot. Suck through? Good luck everybody J: And then you flip it over and it's melted
R: Ohhhh! It is an orgastic feast for the senses!
J: [laughs and is spilling crumbs]
R: Honestly, how do you. Now let me ask, now that you've … oh we've messed your' dress up. In all seriousness, now that you've go a mouth full of Tim-tams I'll ask you something
J: I have crumbs everywhere, this is very embarrassing. My mother's going to be upset
R: nonononono… ahhhh [puts napkin in Jen's lap]
J: Oh, thank you.
R: Now, I won't ask you anything more because we've actually got you coming back later on to sing barenaked for us….
J: Yes, thank you for having me
R: ….To sing the song barenaked [audience laughs]
R: all of a sudden the ratings just went up all of a sudden!
J: Whoo! [laughs] stay tuned folks!
R: Very much looking forward to it, but for now, please thank Jennifer Love Hewitt everyone
J: Thank you [waves to audience]
R: Thank you, you were wonderful! We'll be back with 'tell us where to go', Helena Bonham Carter and the crocodile hunter Steve Irwin!
