Jennifer Love Hewitt has grabbed up the rights to She Had Brains, A Body And The Ability To Make Men Love Her, an article in Texas Monthly magazine about a hooker housewife. She’s aiming to produce and star in a film version.
The article tells of a 22-year-old Texas housewife who became a renowned local prostitute until she, her co-workers and 68 prominent citizens were arrested. The resulting scandal shook her home city of Odessa.
There’s no writer attached yet, but Hewitt and her producing partners hope to turn the idea into a comedy. Because sex scandals are always hilarious. At least, it'll probably be funnier than Garfield 2, which Hewitt is filming in between days on her TV show, Ghost Whisperer.
