ASHLEY JUDD

Ashley Judd supported her husband’sport of IndyCar racing on Sunday. The actress showed her love after Dario Franchitti assured  his first series championship at Chicagoland Raceway. Ashley adulated  her "sweet little husband" as she said, for surviving the "bloody sharks" on the track and ripped rookie Milka Duno. "You saw some of the other team's drivers work so well together, and my sweet little husband was just out there with the bloody sharks," Judd said. "They just sharked him all day. And he just hung in there. "I know this is not very sportsmanlike, but they've got to get the 23 car (Duno) off the track. It's very dangerous. I'm tired of holding my tongue. She shouldn't be out there. When a car's 10 miles (an hour) off the pace, it's not appropriate for it to be racing. People's lives are at stake.''

Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen admits she is "floating in thin air" after generous praise from actress-activist Ashley Judd. “I'm floating in thin air. This was the first time that I interacted with an organization that works so closely with sex workers. Ashley has been working with them for five years. I'm a newly converted novice in front of her," Sushmita says. She continued, "To see someone as special as her being so keenly interested in working at the grassroots level is so admirable." Ashley, who flew to India in March as part of the NGO Population Services International to aware sex workers about HIV/AIDS, wrote 'ONE' blog, "I was being joined by a stranger to me, but a beloved star to millions of Indians: Sushmita Sen, maverick yet firmly ensconced Bollywood star. We picked her for her willingness to break with convention in her personal and professional life."

Hollywood actress Ashley Judd is in talks to feature in The Weinstein Company's next movie Crossing Over.
