DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL....AT CBS......DRAMA.....

by Nellie Andreeva and Jim Mix

Jennifer Love Hewitt of Fox's "Party of Five," has been tapped to star in CBS' untitled John Gray drama pilot, lifting the contingency off the project.

The untitled Gray project, widely known as "Ghost Whisperer," hails from Touchstone TV. Based on James Van Praagh's psychic work, it centers on a young newlywed (Hewitt) who communicates with the dead.

With the pilot, Hewitt continues her relationship with Touchstone TV. This past development season, she starred in the studio's comedy project for ABC "In the Game."

Hewitt is repped by Endeavor, Handprint Entertainment and attorney Bob Wallerstein.

This will be Jennifer Love Hewitt's first project with CBS Television and second pilot with Touchstone Television, a division of The Walt Disney Company.
