I saw a special on VH1 on her and her agent was talking about how they changed her middle name to LOVE when she became an actress. On Wikipedia however it says her Mom gave her that middle name at birth. What's the truth?

I was watching that too. Love is Jennifer's real middle name. They was saying no wonder why her middle name is Love because when they were walking down the road someone knocked another person down and Jennifer went over there and helped her up and asked her if she was okay thats what they mean when her middle name is Love.

Aah i see your predicament, however, Jennifer Love Hewitt got her first name from her older brother Todd, who picked the name after a little blonde girl he then had a crush on. Her mother selected her middle name, Love, which she goes by offstage from her best friend at college.

Mini biography
Jennifer Love Hewitt got her first name from her older brother Todd (b. 1971), who picked the name after a little blonde girl he then had a crush on. Her mother selected her middle name, Love, which she goes by offstage from her best friend at college. Her mother, Pat, is a speech pathologist and her father, Danny, is a medical technician. Her parents separated when she was six months old. Born in Waco, Texas, she was raised by her mother in Harker Heights, Texas. She made her official performing debut at age 3 where she sang at a livestock show. At age 5, she was taking tap, jazz, and ballet lessons which led her to joining the Texas Show Team, which toured the Soviet Union and Europe. At age 10, the family moved to L.A. with the encouragement of talent scouts, while Todd stayed behind to finish high school in Texas. Jennifer quickly found commercial work and a role on Disney's "Kids Incorporated" (1984) in 1984. She went through a series of television flops before finally hitting it big on "Party of Five" (1994) in 1995.

Personal quotes
[In a Playboy interview, Love commented about her breasts] "I just accepted them as a great accessory to every outfit".
"When I came to Los Angeles, it was the first time that I ever felt like I belonged somewhere. Not because it was wacky, but because people here understood what I felt like to perform, and there were other kids my age who wanted to do it. I didn't get looked at as, 'God, you freak.'"
"I don't consider myself a great dresser either. But I try. Most of the time I'm in khakis and a white T-shirt. I'm a total Gap girl. Super casual, hair in a pony tail and no makeup." - in response to being voted as one of the Worst Dressed by People magazine.
"We had this joke on the set of I Know What You Did Last Summer. All the girls wore tiny tops, so we called it I Know What Your Breasts Did Last Summer."
"I try to find things that are insanely cheap and brilliant. My Bonne Bell lip gloss is about 75 cents, and I have worn it as my lipstick to almost every main event in Hollywood in the past two years." - quoted in Woman's World (27 December 2005)
I would just love once to be called sexy. Just because it would make me something other than cute." When I came to Los Angeles, it was the first time that I ever felt like I belonged somewhere. Not because it was wacky, but because people here understood what I felt like to perform, and there were other kids my age who wanted to do it. I didn't get looked at as, 'God, you freak.'"
