After showing off her slimmer body last week, Jennifer Love Hewitt now talks about her body and why 30 is her dream age on the September issue of Health magazine.

When asked how she feels about turning 30 years old next year, the "Ghost Whisperer" star replies, "I'm so excited! It's my dream age. I don't know why but, literally, since my 12th birthday I've wanted to turn 30."

Jennifer Love Hewitt wishes she had spent 16 years of her life "nude."

The "Ghost Whisperer" actress - who recently shed 18lbs after unflattering pictures of her on the beach were published - says she should have been more proud of her lithe figure when she was younger.

A svelte Jennifer Love Hewitt makes the cover of Us magazine this week. It seems just yesterday when she was photographed in a bikini and everyone was calling her fat.

In November last year, the "Ghost Whisperer" star's bikini-clad body was bombarded with criticism after her snapshots in the beach circulated on the Web.
