Jennifer Love Hewitt's sparkly privates

Jennifer Love Hewitt copes with heartache by decorating her genitals with crystals.

The 'Shortcut to Happiness' actress - who has dated singer John Mayer, actor Ross McCall and was engaged to kayaker Brad Ludden - allowed a friend to give her the unusual make-over in a bid to cheer herself up after a distressing split from an ex-boyfriend.

She said: "After a break-up, a friend of mine Swarovski-crystaled my 'precious lady'. I was feeling awful, I'd been through a horrible break up. I was like, 'Ah, this is awful and I need something to make me feel better.' It was the one thing I'd never tried before after a break-up, so I gave it a try. It's great. It's cute, it's cute.

"It really helped me. It looks like a little disco ball down there it's great. Really."

However, the 30-year-old beauty took to the design so much, she makes sure she is "vagazzled" at all times.

She admitted: "I am currently 'vagazzled'. And it's hot pink for today, so that's good. I've had no complaints about it"

The brunette beauty has also revealed she almost dumped her current boyfriend Jamie Kennedy after he affectionately called her "pear a*s" on holiday.

She said on US TV show 'Lopez Tonight': "The first time we went on vacation, I was going to be in a bikini, and I was very nervous. I heard him coming down the hall, so I got in the cute bikini position. And he goes, 'Hey, my little pear a*s.' I said, 'I'm sorry, what did you say?'

"Have you ever seen a pear? It starts thin, it gets fat and it never gets thin again. It's not cute. It's not a cute fruit."
