Now that ‘Ghost Whisperer’ is off the air, Jennifer Love Hewitt has the chance to take on new projects. One of them has her working with her boyfriend, Alex Beh, she told E! News’ Marc Malkin.

She and Beh will be in Chicago filming the coming-of-age indie flick Warren. Beh not only wrote the movie, but he’s also producing, directing and costarring in it. Hewitt is playing his ex-girlfriend.

That’s not all, either. Once that project wraps, Jennifer will be trying something new herself: directing! She’s going to direct a movie adaptation of the book ‘Wait Until Helen Comes.’

“I directed [Ghost Whisperer] a few times so this is new and exciting,” Hewitt told me earlier this week…

But for now, Jennifer has more immediate concerns, like the Golden Globes, where she’s a nominee. She admitted she’s written down some notes for an acceptance speech, but not because she’s sure she’ll win.

“I’m terrified to speak in public,” she confessed. “It’s bad, so I did write a few things down on a little piece of paper.”

Love her (and her and Alex as a couple)! I’ll be rooting for her this weekend .
