Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt regularly gives her genitals a sparkly makeover - by decorating her "precious lady" with expensive crystals.

The Ghost Whisperer star first experienced the wonder of the vaginal glitter when a friend offered to add a dash of bling to cheer her up after a love split - and now she regularly adds a sparkle before going out to attend events, parties and launches.

She explains, "It's called 'vajazzling'. After a break-up, a friend of mine Swarovski-crystalled my precious lady and it shined (sic) like a disco ball... Women should 'vajazzle' their vajay-jays (vagina)."

Hewitt confessed she was wearing the bling during her appearance on chat show Lopez Tonight on Tuesday: "I am currently vajazzled... It's cute."

Asked if boyfriend Jamie Kennedy likes her sparkled vagina on the TV show, the actress quipped, "I've had no complaints."
