Jane Seymour wants to set the record straight about Internet reports that have her criticizing Angelina Jolie for being too thin. "That was so unfair," says Seymour. "I never said that. It's upsetting." What she did say was essentially that she wouldn't advise her fellow mother of twins to worry too much about losing baby fat at this time, says Jane, who has the Hallmark Channel movie "Dear Prudence" debuting Aug. 23.

"I was doing the TV critics tour, and someone randomly asked me, 'Can you give Angelina advice about losing the baby fat?' But the question wasn't reported, and it looked quite different out of context," she says. Then the answer kept devolving on the Internet till it appeared she was chastising the "Wanted" star -- which, she stresses, she simply would not do.

"Dear Prudence" has the former "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" and "Dancing With the Stars" star portraying a TV domestic diva who's sort of a cross between Martha Stewart, Heloise and Jessica ("Murder, She Wrote") Fletcher -- with a taste for solving mysteries and a generous spoonful of Seymour's invention.
Jane also has an Open Heart jewelry line among her latest projects (www.kay.com), in honor of her late mother, who "always said, 'When life is tough, go out and do something for someone else, and live with an open heart.' If you live with an open heart, you can give and receive love, but if your heart is closed, you cannot process change."
