Jennifer Love Hewitt will bare all in the new season of her hit TV drama The Client List. The 33-year-old actress plays a masseuse who makes her living by having sex with clients in the popular series, so she’s already bared plenty of flesh. But in the second season of the Lifetime show, Jennifer will strip completely… according to British newspaper, The Sun. They write that bosses on the cable channel will ‘blur out’ Hewitt’s more intimate parts and that she is hitting the gym four times a week to make sure she’s in tip top form.
Jennifer has already started sharing her work-out regime via Twitter. She wrote this week: ‘Good morning from the set of TCL! Lots of running today, so I will get my workout and work done at the same time. Critics have remained divided over the dramatic merits of The Client List’s first season.The show featured Jennifer in various states of undress as massage therapist Riley Parks, a Texas mother in financial difficulties who is forced to return to work after her husband leaves her.
She gets a job in a suburban Houston spa called the Rub, which offers a special ‘happy ending’ service to a select ‘client list. It’s hard to imagine a less sexy show about prostitution,’ wrote The New York Times’s Mike Hale. ‘Based on its first two episodes, Lifetime’s Client List makes even a dead fish like HBO’s Hung look steamy.
‘Ms Hewitt, in her first series since Ghost Whisperer on CBS, gives her usual determined, likeable, one – or two-note performance, putting across the wistful moments and working hard on the comedy.Critic Richard Lawson of he Atlantic Wire was also unsure about the show’s sex appeal: ‘It’s trying to be a risky, sexy show and yet there’s nothing remotely risky or sexy about it.
It’s a gauzily filmed family drama occasionally dotted with brief scenes of sheet-covered naked guys asking Jennifer Love Hewitt to touch their inner thighs. Hmm. The New York Post said the drama was a poor relation to Showtime drama Weeds which features a housewife who begins selling cannabis to support her family after her husband dies of a heart attack.
They wrote: ‘The series looks more like ‘Weeds’ lite – instead of drug deals, it’s prostitution; instead of Mary-Louise Parker, it’s Jennifer Love Hewitt; and instead of Showtime sleazy, it’s Lifetime sleazy.
