Havent talked to Sarah Michelle Gellar since 1997: Jennifer Love Hewitt
Los Angeles, Jul 21 (PTI) Hollywood actor Jennifer Love Hewitt says she hasn't spoken to her 'I Know What You Did Last Summer" co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar for the last 28 years. Hewitt and Gellar featured in Jim Gillespie's directorial, which was released in 1997. The film also starred Freddie Prinze Jr and Ryan Phillippe. Despite avoiding any communication, Hewitt confirmed both have been on good terms and didn't have a fight, as some rumours claimed. 'I honestly don't even know what that was or how that all came to be. I just think people don't want the narrative to be easy. Why do we always have to be against each other and out for each other," she told entertainment news outlet Vulture in an interview. The 46-year-old actor, also known for her work in projects such as 'Can't Hardly Wait" and 'Ghost Whisperer", added, 'I haven't seen Sarah. Literally, we've not talked since I saw her at 18 years old when the first movie came out. That's why it's so funny to me. People were like, 'Say something back' And I'm like, 'What am I going to say? I've not seen her.' On my side, we're good. I have no idea where this is coming from." Both actors, however, returned for the film's reboot, which was released on July 18. The film has been directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and also stars Madelyn Cline, Lola Tung and Chase Sui Wonders, among others. Sam Lansky wrote the screenplay for it.

"Clueless" Stars: How They Look 30 Years Later
Brace yourselves — Clueless, which is arguably the best teen movie of all time, turns 30 this month. Yes, 30. The big 3-0. It is THIRTY YEARS OLD. Now that we all feel like our bones are crumbling to dust, let's check in with the cast and where they're at now... Alicia Silverstone as Cher: Clueless was one of Alicia's first film roles, and she went on to star in other '90s icons like Excess Baggage, Batman and Robin, and Blast From the Past. She's continued acting steadily over the years, recently in Netflix's The Baby-Sitters Club series. She's also a passionate animal rights activist and vegan. Paul Rudd as Josh: Although he had appeared in some TV series before Clueless, Josh was actually Paul's first big screen role. Since then, he's had a prolific and varied career, with roles in Romeo + Juliet, Friends, Parks and Recreation, Anchorman, The 40-Year Old Virgin, and, of course, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and a whole bunch more). Most recently, he starred in Death of a Unicorn with Jenna Ortega. Stacey Dash as Dionne: Stacey had steady roles both before and after Clueless, although none that reached quite the same level of icon status. She was one of the film's few cast members to reprise their role in the Clueless spin-off TV series, which lasted three seasons. These days, she's perhaps more associated with her outspoken, conservative political views. Brittany Murphy as Tai: Before Clueless, Brittany had a fair amount of experience in TV roles, and went on to a successful big screen career, with notable roles in movies like Drop Dead Gorgeous, Girl Interrupted, Riding in Cars with Boys, 8 Mile, Just Married, and Uptown Girls. She also voiced Luanne in King of the Hill. Sadly, she died in December 2009 from pneumonia. She's pictured above right in 2009, just weeks before her death. Elisa Donovan as Amber: Elisa had some small parts in the lead up to Clueless, but her role as Cher's frenemy Amber became what she's most known for — especially since she also reprised the role in the TV spin-off. She also had a notable role in the later seasons of Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, and continued acting over the years, with her most recent onscreen role in 2017's MDMA. Donald Faison as Murray: Clueless was Donald's first major role, and he went on to star in the Clueless TV series as well as movies like Can't Hardly Wait and Remember the Titans. He's now most known for his leading role as Turk alongside Zach Braff in the TV show Scrubs. Breckin Meyer as Travis: Breckin was a child actor prior to Clueless, and afterwards he starred in movies like The Craft, Can't Hardly Wait, Josie and the Pussycats, and Garfield. He also did voice work for King of the Hill alongside fellow Clueless alumni Brittany Murphy, and performed in, wrote, and produced Robot Chicken, which Donald Faison also did voice work for. Jeremy Sisto as Elton: Jeremy had a few roles before Clueless, and has continued acting since, most notably in TV series like Six Feet Under, Law & Order, Suburgatory, The Returned, and most recently, FBI: International. Dan Hedaya as Mel: As one of the "adult" cast, Dan Hedaya had acted extensively before his role as Cher's father, Mel, in Clueless, including in movies like The Hunger, Joe Versus the Volcano, and The Addams Family, and TV shows like Cheers, The Tortellis, and Family Ties. He continued acting until recently — his last onscreen role was in 2021's The God Committee. Wallace Shawn as Mr. Hall: Wallace Shawn was perhaps the most well-known cast member prior to Clueless, having starred in one of the greatest movies of all time, The Princess Bride, as well as co-written and starred in the classic My Dinner with Andre, amongst many other roles. In the same year as Clueless, he also voiced Rex in Toy Story and Principal Mazur in A Goofy Movie. He continues to act and do voice work. In recent years, he's perhaps best known for his roles in Young Sheldon and Gossip Girl. In addition to acting and screenwriting, he's also a playwright and has published multiple books of essays. Twink Caplan as Ms. Geist: Twink Caplan (pictured above right in 2013) was known for her role in Look Who's Talking before Clueless. In the years since, she's worked as a producer and actor, most recently with small parts in the TV shows All That and Royalties. Justin Walker as Christian: Clueless was Justin's very first role, and while he did take on a few roles afterwards, he seemingly left the entertainment industry by 2005, when he had his last onscreen role in the movie Takeout. He now appears to be extremely private.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Praised For Her Curves As Fans Defend The '90s Icon From Body-Shaming Trolls
Jennifer Love Hewitt can rest assured that her fans would always come through for her, especially when she's being trolled for her looks. The "Can't Hardly Wait" actress was met with harsh criticism when she dazzled in a beaded black dress on a recent red carpet appearance, but her fans have spoken up in her defense, praising how "amazing" she looks. Jennifer Love Hewitt has previously spoken about the online chatter on her appearance, saying she's "deeply grateful" for her life and is "ready to give love" to her younger and older self. Jennifer Love Hewitt Flaunted Her Curves In A Stunning Black Dress Hewitt turned heads in a black dress adorned with beads at the July 14 premiere of the newest film in the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" franchise. The 46-year-old actress rocked a copper hairdo and paired her dress with sparkling heels and rings. Hewitt, who rose to fame in the 1990s with starring roles in "Party of Five" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer," has remained endeared to her fans even though she hasn't been a constant feature on the Hollywood red carpet over the last couple of years. Fans Blast Trolls For Bodyshaming The '90s Star Hewitt's recent appearance on the red carpet was met with criticism, prompting fans to take to social media to defend her. "Jennifer Love Hewitt looks great, people need to stop comparing people to their younger versions, we all change over time," a fan wrote. "She's beautiful." "I am a Jennifer Love Hewitt fan. It saddens me to see petty b-tches online fat shaming a woman who is 46 and has three kids," another fan said. "In my opinion, she looks amazing. You get older. You gain weight. It happens. Many people look jacked up on plastic surgery. She looks great." A third fan penned, "Not to mention, it's mainly women that I see degrading her. Shameful considering that as women we should know to do better." "Idk what you all are talking about, Jennifer Love Hewitt looks amazing!" a fan penned. "You all are just a bunch of haters and think real women look like damn cartoon characters." "I think she's gonna be the one who sets the trend back to it's okay to age gracefully. I'm so sick of seeing the plastic faces and bodies," one X user said. Another person added, "She looks exactly the same. She is beautiful. She just had her third kid in 2021. Leave her alone." Jennifer Love Hewitt Opens Up About People Being Cruel Towards Her Over Her Appearance The "Ghost Whisperer" alum appeared undeterred by the chatter and took to Instagram to share more videos of herself promoting the movie. "Okay, here I am. I'm getting ready to do a very important podcast, can you guess? What are you waiting for?" she said in the video while winking and using her famous catchphrase from the film. She has previously opened up about her thoughts on aging when she posted a makeup-free selfie with no filter back in February. "I have experienced and seen how the world can be cruel to women as they age and yet seen the women I admire become happier, sexier, and more powerful with every added number," she captioned the post on Instagram. Hewitt added, "I am so deeply grateful for this life. I love all who choose to do it by my side, and I am ready to give love today to the younger me and the older me because they are my ride or dies." The Actress Spoke About The Disturbing Attention She Received From Older Men As A Teenager Speaking on an episode of Mayim Bialik's "Breakdown" podcast in January, Hewitt reflected on the unsettling experience of being overly sexualized as a teenager, recalling how it was once normalized in Hollywood. The "Ghost Whisperer" star, now 45, opened up about the inappropriate attention she received in her early years. "There were grown men talking to me at 16 about my breasts openly on a talk show, and people were laughing about it," she shared. "It was a culture that was fully accepted, but when you sit and you look at where we are now versus then, it is really mind-blowing." Hewitt admitted that being labeled a "sex symbol" before she even understood the concept felt "really strange," adding, "I didn't know what being sexy meant." She recalled how men would approach her with unsettling remarks after posing for Maxim in 1999 at just 17. "People would openly walk up and be like, 'I took your magazine with me on a trip last week," Hewitt said, per Page Six. "I didn't really know what that meant. It's kind of gross." Jennifer Love Hewitt Called Out Ageism In Hollywood In an interview with Fox News Digital, Hewitt discussed how ageism has impacted her lengthy career in Hollywood and how she is embracing the journey of self-love and aging with grace. The actress said, "I feel like fans pick this age that they love that they think represents you, and you're never supposed to grow beyond that. For me, it was like me and my 20s. People seem to have a really hard time accepting that I don't look that way anymore." She continued: "It's hard because I think as humans, we want to evolve … we want to have lines on our faces, and you know, our boobs be lower from breast-feeding our children, or you know, our butt's bigger." "Whatever it is, you just want to have the freedom to be whoever you are at that age. And it's hurtful sometimes when people reject you as you are verbally on Instagram or the internet because they're having a hard time adjusting to it," Hewitt added. Solve the daily Crossword

Jennifer Love Hewitt Re-Enters the Spotlight, Sparks Body-Shaming Debate
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Jennifer Love Hewitt has become the target of online abuse this week after some criticized her appearance at the premiere of the 2025 reboot of the 1997 classic, I Know What You Did Last Summer. The 46-year-old actor, producer, and mother of three wore a figure-hugging, black beaded gown to the debut of the horror-thriller on Monday, July 14. While many praised her look, some online users body-shamed her—prompting swift backlash from fans, influencers, and experts alike. The much-anticipated reboot, as reported by Newsweek, revives the cult classic with a fresh cast and darker psychological edge, yet retains the suspense that made the original a late-90s slasher film in which four friends, played by Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr., accidentally kill a pedestrian and conceal the crime. One year later, they are terrorized by a mysterious figure who knows their secret. However, the movie's spotlight on Hewitt's return inadvertently became a flashpoint for toxic commentary around women's bodies. Newsweek reached out to Jennifer Love Hewitt's publicist for comment via email. Erika Dus, a 43-year-old mom and creator known as @ on Instagram. She responded to a comment left on The Hollywood Reporter's post that read: "I've never seen a larger group of unhealthy, middle-aged women more excited and happy that someone looks like them." Dus didn't hold back in her now-viral reel, which racked up 3,450 likes and over 100,000 views. "The patriarchy is people losing their damn minds because a 46 year old mother of 3 has the audacity to look like a 46 year old mother of 3," she said. "Initially the Jennifer Love Hewitt body shaming caught my eye because she was an iconic part of my youth. Party of Five, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Can't Hardly Wait are peak nostalgia for Elder Millennials. In high school she was the quintessential girl that guys want to date and girls want to be. And here was the same woman being attacked and criticized—why?" she told Newsweek. Dus argues that standards of sex appeal and beauty are often weaponized against women to maintain a societal power imbalance. She pointed to the rise of "SkinnyTok" and tradwife content as evidence of constantly shifting—and increasingly narrow—standards of female attractiveness. "Here we have a woman who was considered beautiful for her voluptuous figure, now being criticized for the natural progression of that same figure, while 'dad bods' are glorified," she noted. She concluded by drawing a connection to America Ferrera's viral monologue in Barbie: "Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong." Online, others echoed her sentiments in support of Hewitt. Many commenters pointed out that the comparisons to Hewitt's body in her late teens and early 20s failed to take into consideration that she has since had three children, something other women related to.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JULY 14: Jennifer Love Hewitt attends the Columbia Pictures & Screen Gems World Premiere of 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' at The United Theater on Broadway on July 14, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. More Eric Charbonneau / Contributor/Getty Images Entertainment "This woman is my age, her body type is similar to mine and I love everything about her red carpet look. I don't understand why the world is perfectly comfortable to call a woman obese who has this body type. Let's teach the next generation that men's obsession with prepubescent girl bodies is not normal. Ever. Ever. Ever," said casting director Katie Griffin. However, others argued that women do not need to be mothers to demand respect for their bodies. User @librariana10 wrote, "Her body is great and would be great if she were 22 with 0 kids. We've got to stop policing people's bodies and validating them through external circumstances. Let people live." Her post garnered over 15,500 likes. "She looks great. Not great for 46, not great for a mother of 3. Just great—full stop," said Megan Collins. Another user, Aaron Cooper, weighed in: "Love Hewitt looks great. I don't care if she's 25 or 55, or 75. Kids or no kids. She looks great. Leave her alone." Lachrista Greco, author of The Guerrilla Feminist, also chimed in on Threads: "People are commenting negatively about Jennifer Love Hewitt's body and I think it's because they're so used to seeing Ozempic bodies every which way." Ozempic, a diabetes medication now widely used for weight loss, has become a cultural flashpoint—fueling what's often referred to as "Ozempic culture," a trend that prizes rapid, extreme thinness reminiscent of 2000s beauty ideals. Sabrina Greer, founder of fEMPOWER Publications and a publicist for female entrepreneurs, told Newsweek that Hewitt's red carpet appearance isn't just about her. Instead, it's a reflection of society's deep discomfort with women aging, bodily autonomy, and change. She said the fixation on how Hewitt "used to look" reveals more about collective nostalgia and the desire to freeze women in idealized versions of their youth than it does about Hewitt herself. Greer emphasized that when female celebrities age, they disrupt the illusion of permanence many fans project onto them. For some, this provokes grief or outrage—what Greer calls a kind of "parasocial betrayal." She added that defending Hewitt's body because of her age or motherhood status misses the point: "We need to dismantle the idea that anyone, celebrity or not, owes us a justification for their body's evolution." Charlotte Markey, a clinical health psychology professor at Rutgers University and author of the upcoming The Body Image Book for Women agreed. She noted that all bodies change over time and no one will look the same at 20 and 40—unless, perhaps, they undergo extensive and costly interventions. She also pointed out a glaring double standard: Hewitt's co-star Freddie Prinze Jr. no longer looks the same, but has not faced the same scrutiny. Markey argued that celebrities, like everyone else, should be able to make choices about their bodies without public scrutiny. "Of course, Hewitt would be criticized if she looked exactly the same as she did 20 years ago, too," Markey speculated. "There is no finish line in the beauty contest imposed on us." Hewitt herself has addressed the experience of aging in the public eye, telling Fox Digital in December, "For me... it was like me and my 20s... people seem to have a really hard time accepting that... I don't look that way anymore." She added, "It's hard because I think as humans, we want to evolve... we want to have lines on our faces, and you know, our boobs be lower from breast-feeding our children, or you know, our butt's bigger." Hewitt told the outlet that she just wants "the freedom to be whoever you are at that age." She said, "It's hurtful sometimes when people reject you as you are verbally on Instagram or the internet because they're having a hard time adjusting to it."
