This fall, Jennifer Love Hewitt will try her hand at escorting- on screen, at least. The Ghost Whisperer star has signed on to reprise her role as Samantha Horton, a Texas housewife-turned-hooker, in the new Lifetime series The Client List.

Cybill Shepherd will co-star as Samantha's mother, who lives in blissful ignorance of her daughter's nude profession. On the other hand, Jennifer's real-life mother is thrilled that her baby girl has grown up to be a (onscreen) ho, as Jennifer told Entertainment Tonight:

My mom's like, 'I'm so proud. You're pole dancing and you're going to play a prostitute. Awesome!'

It's like, 'Yeah, what you always dreamed about, mama!' But you know, it's a great part.

The Client List was skinspired by a real-life prostitution ring in Odessa, Texas, and it's far from the first tawdry tale to draw from real-life sex worker scandals. Join us after the jump for more movies that have turned news headlines into nude headlights!

Every generation, it happens. One lascivious book makes its way into the mainstream and is picked up by even the most staid and uptight of people.

And immediately the pimply pubescents are ushered into a magical new world filled with thoughts of flesh and boners.
