LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Jennifer Love Hewitt plans to star in and produce a fact-based feature about a hooker housewife from Texas.
Her LoveSpell Entertainment production company has acquired the rights to "She Had Brains, a Body, and the Ability to Make Men Love Her," an article that appeared in the January issue of Texas Monthly.
The article, which was written by Katy Vine, relates the story of a 22-year-old housewife and former homecoming queen in Odessa, Texas, who became one of the city’s most popular hookers until she, her co-workers and 68 prominent Odessa residents were arrested in a scandal that shook the city.
LoveSpell envisages the project as a comedy.

Hewitt stars in CBS’ solid performing "Ghost Whisperer," playing a newlywed who delivers messages from the dead to the living, and is concurrently filming "Garfield 2," Fox’s sequel to last year’s international box office hit, "Garfield: The Movie."
Via LoveSpell, Hewitt has produced indie features "The Truth About Love," and "If Only." Her starring feature credits include the horror hit "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and its sequel, and the teen comedy "Can’t Hardly Wait."
