Things in Ghost Whisperer's Grandview are getting sexier by the minute. As if Jennifer Love Hewitt weren't enough, starlet Hilary Duff will be stopping by in a few short weeks to stir things up with a new perspective on what must be the most haunted town on television. Will she get along with J.Love, or are they meant to be adversaries? E!'s own Michael Yo just sat down with Hilary and brought back the goods...
First off, there's no need to worry about a multihyphenate throwdown: J.Love and Hilary Duff are old pals, and that's how Duff got the part. Hilary says, "Jennifer Love Hewitt's one of my friends, and we were having dinner one night. She's like, 'Come be on my show. You know, we're almost finished.' I'm like, 'Give me a part. I'll do it.' And it just kind of came about really naturally and organically like that."
Duff will be playing—wait for it—a woman with a little ghost problem that Melinda Gordon might just be able to solve. Duff says, "I'm kind of being haunted by someone that I was in a relationship with before they passed away. He had unfinished business with me, and I'm having nightmares of being turned upside down in my apartment, like when I'm sleeping on the bed, I'm actually going to be hanging from the ceiling."
As for Hilary's longer-term future on television, she says nothing's set in stone. She's looking for a series project to make her own, but for now: "We're still in the middle of meeting with writers and hearing pitches."
What kind of project should Hilary do? Post your pitches in the comments!
Hilary's episode of Ghost Whisperer airs Friday, April 9 at 9 p.m. on CBS.
