Interested in seeing more of Jennifer Love Hewitt's self-described size 2 assets than she showed off in those unfairly dissected bikini pics or her Hanes underwear ads? Looks like you're out of luck. According to In Touch, Hugh Hefner tore himself away from his trio of blond girlfriends long enough to check out the "Ghost Whisperer" star's ability to fill out a swimsuit, prompting him to offer her serious moolah for a clothing-light Playboy spread. A rep for the "stop calling me fat"-defending J.Love, who recently got engaged to longtime love Ross McCall (and denied rumors she's expecting), confirms an offer was made but says she politely passed.

Things haven't exactly been lining up lately for Jessica Simpson, what with her catching the blame for Dallas Cowboys beau Tony Romo's craptacular gridiron performance last week and her foundering big-screen career. Now, amid reports her "Working Girl" homage "Blonde Ambition" is headed straight to DVD (save for a brief stop in a handful of Texas theaters), OK! claims she's hoping to make a comeback by taking on a remake of "Pretty Woman," the heartwarming hooker-who-flosses flick that made Julia Roberts a star (and earned her an Oscar nod). "She thinks this one's got 'hit' written all over it," a mole tells the magazine. "Her father [and manager] Joe has been telling anyone who will listen that she's the next Julia." But before you break out your thigh-high pleather boots to kick some sense into the Simpson clan, let's hear from the starlet's rep. "There is no truth to this," her spokeswoman tells thecelebritytruth.com, adding that Jessica, who was photographed Tuesday in Dallas doing some shopping with Papa Joe, has been working on a country album in Nashville, Tenn.

Is Kim Cattrall giving PETA the clothes off her alter ego's back? E! Online's Marc Malkin says the actress will donate the pricey fur coats she wears as veteran vixen Samantha Jones in "Sex and the City: The Movie" to the animal rights organization. In the pic, Cattrall's character is doused with red paint for her pelt-loving ways, and the four white coats used in the scene will reportedly be given to PETA, which will clean them, tag them and likely hand them over to the homeless. "The only people who can be excused for wearing fur are the homeless -- to keep warm during the winter," explains PETA spokesman Michael McGraw.

On the other end of the fur spectrum is Sharon Stone, who has never met a designer hide she didn't want to wrap around her enviable if oft-displayed body. But fur costs, and private appearances are apparently where the actress starts paying. The New York Post says she can rake in $175,000 for just a half-hour of hosting work at a non-charitable affair. "Sharon is starting to attend store openings and corporate events," a snitch tattles to the paper. "In return, she receives major cash."

Battling a beloved pop music icon ain't cheap, which is something Heather Mills may be learning the hard way. The London Daily Mail says the strident still-not-ex-wife of Paul McCartney owes her former attorneys $4 million, a debt the law firm is allegedly taking measures to collect. Mishcon de Reya, which also represented Princess Diana in her split from Prince Charles, reportedly parted ways with Mills last month following a year-and-a-half relationship (and on the heels of Heather's decision to gripe about the 2006 bust-up to many a media outlet). "The firm worked tirelessly in difficult circumstances for Heather and it is now concerned it may not get its money," a source tells the paper. "Mishcon is concerned that Heather could get a nominal settlement of a few million pounds. But because she has other debts to clear, there is a worry that Mishcon will be at the back of the queue." Mills and McCartney are reportedly scheduled to resume their court fight in the spring.
