Following a couple major, recent events in her life, Jennifer Love Hewitt is minus one boyfriend and a lot of hair.

Soon after her break-up with Jaime Kennedy, the actress chopped off many inches of her locks, likely in an attempt to start anew. However, a bit of weird timing will make that difficult:

Hewitt's relationship-themed book, The Day I Shot Cupid: Hello, My Name Is Jennifer Love Hewitt and I'm a Love-aholic, went on sale today.

"It's not the ideal situation, but the thing I'm really happy about is that I never say in the book that I know how to find perfect love or how to be in the perfect relationship," she told USA Today. "I'm thrust back into the dating world as the book is coming out, so I feel more than ever that people will know I'm kind of with them in the trenches."

Despite break-ups with John Mayer, Carson Daly, Ross McCall and now Kennedy, JLH isn't through hoping for the best:

"I'm a hopeless romantic. I love love. My middle name is Love. Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday. I want to have a family and children. I am a sucker for every romantic comedy that comes out."

We'll assume she means every romantic comedy except The Ugly Truth.

"You can allow yourself 72 hours of wallowing time," the actress says. "Then you've got to get into the gym, stop eating the ice cream and move on."

Or you could grieve will fellow recent dumpee Kim Kardashian, preferably by prancing around topless on video. Just sayin.
