Remember when Jennifer Love Hewitt was a moderately well-known actress on Party of Five who posed naked, never whispered to ghosts and seemed content to play the role of supporting character on a hit TV show?

We miss those days.

The beauty has since devolved into one of the most attention-starved actresses on the planet. She never fails to make out with Jamie Kennedy in public, she openly discusses her bedazzled vagina and, as proven yesterday, she uses her birthday as an excuse to make like a sad version of Lady Gaga for the paparazzi.

Hewitt turned 31 on Sunday and celebrated by throwing a 1980s-themed party with friends. That's cool.

But why did she feel the need to step outside and pose for photographers? And what were those media members doing there anyway? We somehow doubt they stake out JLH's home. Someone's publicist earned his money this week...

If Hewitt wants attention this badly, we have a much better idea for her: Pose for Playboy. There are only two reasons she's still employed anyway.
