    I just feel weird about Jennifer Love Hewitt She use to be in so many movies (At least in my head she was) and doing so well, never striked me as a sitcom kind of gal. she ever been in one before? I’m glad that Alyson Hannigan is doing that though- she’s thirty? crazy. she’s insanely beautiful though, she’s going to always look younger than she is, her face is just so childlike and beautiful

    Jennifer started her carreer on kids incorporated if you can remember that show from way back in the day. the show gave a start to a few other celebrities, mario lopez (saved by the bell) and fergie from the black eyed peas to name a few. anyway, i hope this show gets picked up! i can’t stand jennifer, but i’ll sacrifice my eyes for aly.

    You actually think 30 is bad? That’s nothing! It just means she was inher 20’s less than a year ago.The whole Buffy crew is getting there or older. What about James Marsters, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp? They’re in their 40’s and they look great. I think you’re confusing 30 with 65. :)
