What inspired newly single Jennifer Love Hewitt to chop off her hair?

"I needed to feel lighter!" she told UsMagazine.com Tuesday at an Esprit flagship store opening in NYC. "We just finished season five of [Ghost Whisperer], and I was just ready for a change."

Complementing her new 'do: A sleek physique.

The 5-foot-3 Hewitt, 31, who recently shed an estimated 15-plus pounds, told Us, "I try to work out three or four times a week and eat healthy and that's about it."

Despite the workout routine, she told Us she can't "get rid of" her curves, but "I'm trying!"

On Tuesday, she released her new romance book The Day I Shot Cupid, which makes her "super excited," she told Us. "It's a book about love, dating, relationships and men and women and where we are."

She said writing the book even helped her deal with her recent split from Kennedy, 39.

"I learned a lot from the book," she said, adding that she and Kennedy are "good. We're fine and still friends."

    I really love Jennifer in "Ghost Whisperer". If she's a true romantic like her "character" Melinda, I'm hopeful that she will find her "Jim" in real life.

    She would look good with any hair style. She's adorable :)

    She should cut her hair even shorter like a boy

    Jennifer looks great. This fresh cut is stylish, classy, and easy to achieve. For a softer look, I recommend a side swept bang to balance more prominent features. Billy Lowe Blog will show you how.

    WHy I totally don't care why you chopped your hair off. Her haircut is NOTHING to brag about and on top of that I was thru with this loser when she lied about being a size 2.

    How sad that she feels like she has to "get rid of" her curves.

    I've liked Jennifer since Party of Five; re: the hair, lots of women make changes, take a trip, etc. after a breakup and it doesn't necessarily mean they want attention - sheesh. As for her curves, girlfriend embrace them; like someone posted here, sometimes it's in the genes.

    Ugh! Another celebrity 'writing' a book. I doubt she wrote one word of it.

    she's beautiful! i don't know why she wants to loose any weight. her hair looks great no matter what. she should just move on and find someone less famous and more worthy!

    Loved her since Party of Five and wish her the best. She's a very pretty young lady and my husband loves her curves!

    I don't think a lot of people give a sh.it. why this Bit.ch. chopped her hair. Jennifer is ugly of anyway she tries to improve her appearance.

    LOL @ lobri's comment...I second that!

    Don't know which is more unbecoming, that hair cut or her insecurity. Maybe it's time she realized that either she has a terrible inablity to chose men or the problem might really be her.

    Jennifer Love Desperate wrote a book on love and relationships, and how men and women are? *laughs hysterically* Oh wait-you're SERIOUS!? *falls on the floor laughing even more hysterically* *wipes tears from eyes* Ok, well let me be the first to buy that classic gem of great advice!!

    Its hard to get rid of your curves, many times it is your ethnicity.
