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.

Jennifer Love Hewitt says she was never ‘insecure' until she was shamed for these 2007 photos
Jennifer Love Hewitt can hardly believe what the tabloids said in the early aughts. The actress, 46, was always confident in herself since stepping into Hollywood at age 10. But things shifted in 2007 after photos of her in Hawaii surfaced with the headline 'Stop Calling Me Fat!' 'I just had blind faith in myself,' Hewitt told Vulture in an interview published Friday about growing up. 'I highly recommend it.' The 'Ghost Whisperer' star was gutted after catching wind of the headline. 'I was having the time of my life,' Hewitt recalled. 'I had made up the dumbest song about eating snacks and playing in the ocean, and I was singing it to my boyfriend out loud, doing some weird dance move, and they got the picture and then it was on the cover.' 'I don't think I was ever really insecure until that cover,' she expressed to the outlet. 'And then when it happened, I don't know that I've ever recovered from it.' The paparazzi shots permanently shifted Hewitt's mentality. The 'Client List' actress detailed: 'There's a part of me that's always like, 'Is this version going to be good enough, or is that going to happen again?' Where somebody's going to be like, 'Hey, this is her without makeup at the cleaners. She looks 59.'' As for why that moment in particular was so traumatizing, Hewitt explained, 'Because that was me. I think that's why the insecurity carried on. I don't know if I've even ever put that together for myself other than right now.' 'I think I was like, 'Oh my God, I was myself one time, and this is what happened.'' Luckily, Hewitt's mother, Patricia Mae Hewitt, who died in 2012 after a battle with cancer, was there with words of wisdom. 'She was like, 'You don't get it. You can't win. This is just people having a problem with the version of you they think belongs to them.' And she said, 'Take your power back. Belong to yourself, and don't worry about it.'' Hewitt also touched on becoming a sex symbol in her late teens and early 20s after starring in hits like 1997's 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' 'Can't Hardly Wait' in 1998, and 'Heartbreakers' (2001). 'It bothers me more now than it did at that age because I was in it,' Hewitt stated. 'Before I even knew what sex was, I was a sex symbol. I still don't know that I have that fully defined for myself because it started so weird.' Now, after decades in the industry, the 'Tuxedo' alum has found a home on ABC. Hewitt stars as Maddie Buckley on the ABC drama '9-1-1.' 'I get to be, not ugly, but raw in a way that doesn't matter. I get to put all those little things into her that maybe I didn't notice or get to pay attention to along the way and heal them,' she shared. 'I give that to Maddie constantly.' For Hewitt, it feels like this is the first time since starring in 'Party of Five' in the '90s that people are focused on her work. 'It was the work and then it was the body. And not the body of work,' she reflected. 'Now we're getting back to the work part of it.' Along with playing the beloved 911 operator, Hewitt also stepped back into the shoes of the iconic Julie James. She reprised her role in the new 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' 27 years after the original film debuted in 1997. Hewitt stepped out for the sequel's premiere at LA's United Theater on Broadway on Monday. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr., who starred in the original project together, turned the premiere into date night. Prinze Jr., 49, reprises his role as Ray Bronson in the sequel. Gellar, 48, played Helen Shivers, who died in the original movie. Despite both being on the carpet, Hewitt and Gellar didn't pose for pictures together. 'For everyone asking — I never got to see @jenniferlovehewitt, who is fantastic in the movie. I was inside with my kids when the big carpet happened. And unfortunately, JLH didn't come to the after-party,' Gellar commented on Instagram Wednesday. The 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' star added, 'If you have ever been to one of these, it's crazy. I sadly didn't get pics with most of the cast. But that doesn't change how amazing I think they all are. Unfortunately, some things happen only in real life and not online.' For her part, Hewitt also shut down rumors of bad blood between the two. 'I haven't seen Sarah,' she told Vulture. '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.' Solve the daily Crossword

'I Know What You Did Last Summer' review: The last one wasn't good either...
I Know What You Did Last Summer Director: Jennifer Kaytin Robinson Cast: Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon, Billy Campbell, Gabbriette Bechtel, Austin Nichols, Freddie Prinze Jr, Jennifer Love Hewitt The rebooted I Know What You Did Last Summer feels more like a recycled I Know What You Did Last Summer. This legacy sequel to the 1997 horror hit, which followed in Scream's reawakening of the teen horror machine, follows the familiar beats of the original film, except with less personality and a total lack of suspense. With results this tepid, who cares what you did last summer? On a cliffside road one night, a group of CW-ready North Carolina friends — including Danica (Madelyn Cline), her best friend Ava (Chase Sui Wonders) and her fiancé Teddy (Tyriq Withers) — are party to an accidental death they sort of maybe had a hand in partially causing. Ok, time to start taking bets on who's going to die first. They try to keep the incident a secret amongst themselves, but a year later it comes back to haunt them in the form of an anonymous letter sent to Danica which reads in full, I know what you did last summer. Stop me if you've heard this one before. Enter the hook-wielding killer, who inspired enough references to the Gorton's Fisherman back then that there's no need to rehash them here. The difference is this time around there's precedent for the events, which means all sorts of references to 'The Slaughter of '97', which the town attempted to bury in an effort to rebrand itself as the Hamptons of the South. That also means bringing original stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. back into the fold to reprise their original roles. You'd think the Ghost Whisperer would know better than to stick around a town with a serial killer. Look, we're in an era where everything that was once old can always be new again, where nothing or no one ever really dies until they're buried 6 feet deep, and even then things are open to negotiations. I Know What You Did Last Summer was never that good the first time around, and co-writer and director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (2022's dark comic teen thriller Do Revenge) doesn't do much to spice up this revisited take. The characters are flat and unlikeable, the staging of the horror sequences is clumsy, and the kills are wan and uninspired. What are we doing here? I Know What You Did Last Summer isn't quite scraping the bottom of the barrel — that would be an Urban Legend reboot/sequel, quite frankly — but it's a lifeless attempt to squeeze blood from a stone that didn't have much to offer in the first place Nostalgia is overrated, Jennifer Love Hewitt's character says at one point late in the movie. You said it, sister. – Adam Graham/The Detroit News/Tribune News Service
