Remember all the uproar last year surrounding the exposure of Jennifer Love Hewitt's cavernous cleavage in ads for Lifetime's The Client List? Well, that will pale in comparison to the promotion the network is out with for the sophomore season of the series in which Hewitt "services" customers at a massage parlor called The Rub.
