Jennifer Love Hewitt stopped by MTV’s Total Request Live on Monday to promote her new album ‘Barenaked’, which hits stores on Tuesday. Again TRL conveniently had someone other than Carson Daly hosting, even though Love Hewitt had told CDNow.com that she and Daly are on good terms. Love Hewitt admits she’s nervous about how the new album will do, and she calmed her nerves by doing a karaoke performance of Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I Will Survive’. Read on for a transcript.
