Just curious. Is she talented enough to get acting jobs or music contracts (music contracts?) without her tight little body paying the freight?

I don’t even find her that attractive. Waaaaay too skinny for me – she looks like a lollypop with boobs. ---

Short answer, yes. Here’s my logic. JLH = minimal acting talent, great boobies, gets plenty of work. Nicole Kidman = minimal acting talent, not especially great boobies, gets plenty of work. So if JLH suddenly lost the world class boobies, the “Kidman Factor” would still see her get plenty of work. And possibly an Academy Award. mm ---

I have only seen her in two film roles, **The Tuxedo** and **Heartbreakers**. As a sterotypical gorgeous Bond-girl scientist, she beats out all the competition that I know, including **Nicole Kidman** ’s performance in \*\*The Peacemaker in terms of coming across as a person whose obvious onscreen intelligence doesn’t negate her supposed occupation as an respectable scientist. (Though I will give Kidman credit for giving, perhaps, the best performance of a sterotypical dumb blonde that I have probably ever seen–though I’ll be damned if I can guess why she did it.) In the Heartbreakers she came across perfectly as a young teen with rivalry issues with her mom. Given that I didn’t even realise it was the same person who had given both of these performances until much later, I would say that she’s really not that bad as an actor. And I likes me women boney, so if y’all don’t like her, that’s just more for me. So, “Dibs” ---

**[sub]Could Jennifer Love Hewitt get acting work if she wasn’t a busty hottie?**[/sub] From the link in the OP: \*At age 5, she was taking tap, jazz, and ballet lessons which led her to joining the Texas Show Team, which toured the Soviet Union and Europe. At age 10, the family moved to L.A. with the encouragement of talent scouts, Love quickly found commercial work and a role on Disney’s “Kids Incorporated”.\* Looks like she had way above average talent before she got the boobs. And yeah, very, very attractive. > [@Sage Rat](#): > > And I likes me women boney, so if y’all don’t like her, that’s just more for me. So, “Dibs” Not so fast! I’ll flip ya’ for her.
