DEATH COMES TO HER

by Olivia Robinson

Ghost-busting has never looked so sexy---Jennifer Love Hewitt is back in the second series of "GHOST WHISPERER."

Do you believe in ghosts?

I believe more now than ever I did before! I have to---I'm here seventeen hours a day so it's impossible not to. I think it's really neat concept that maybe we're not alone and that there are people with us all the time, watching over us.

Are you easily freaked out?

Sometimes, after doing the show, I'd have nightmares or get paranoid everytime I heard a noise in my bathroom at home but I've got better at switching off now…..

How do you do that?

Well, the first thing I do when I get home is that I take my make-up off and change into something different. I also watch comedies and don't look at my lines for the next day!

Melinda has a distinctive style---we've noticed she's partial to flimsy nightgowns…..

Most girls don't sleep in that stuff, but we think it's nice to have since she's still a newlywed. It's to remind people that she's in a sexy new marriage.

Do you mind all of the skimpy tops and cleavage shots?

People like eye candy so it doesn't bother me. As long as they're watching the show and they're enjoying it, it's find with me!

What was it like working with former "Party Of Five" co-star Lacey Chabert again?

It was really fun! When we were younger, people always made jokes about how similar we looked and the storyline happened to fit with the fact that Melinda's ex-boyfriend was supposed to replace her with this woman who is oddly like her.

Have you kept in touch with the rest of the gang from "Party Of Five?"

The whole cast will call and check in sometimes, and we still see each other at awards dos. I recently saw Matthew (Fox who played Charlie) at the Emmys.

Do you watch him on "Lost?"

I picked up on it in the middle, which is not a good place to start, and I had no idea what was going on. But I'm on the set most of the time, so I don't watch much TV.

Is that why we never see pictures of you partying till dawn?

That was never my thing. I'm always tired by the end of the day, so there's no way that I could muster the energy to go out!
