Ashley Judd Clarifies Statements On Misogyny In Hip-Hop

Lane Moore — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 13:00:00 EDT

Because it can't be enough to simply focus on her recently released memoir chronicling her experiences with drug use and sexual assault as a child —or to fault her for her "less-than-perfect face" make-up application— Ashley Judd is now being criticized for comments she made in the book about "the misogyny surrounding hip-hop artists including Diddy and Snoop Dogg."

Dodai Stewart — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 14:55:00 EDT

All That Is Bitter & Sweet, Ashley Judd's memoir, is based on journals she wrote as well as childhood memories. This morning on the Today show, Judd was quite articulate as she spoke about her dysfunctional family and being given "the gift" of her own recovery. "I didn't know what was quote-unquote wrong with me," she admitted. "I looked really good on the outside… I had a lot of anxiety and insomnia. I realized eventually that I was really powerless over my childhood." Judd revealed that she was is a survivor of sexual abuse — incest — but insisted: "I am not alone or unusual…Every 2 seconds, a woman is sexually aggressed upon in this country." She also confessed that while her memoir may not be entirely accurate, "It's very true for me." More »

Ashley Judd Is Not Just Another Tinseltown Disaster Tourist

Dodai Stewart — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 12:20:00 EDT

Newsweek writer Christopher Dickey recently interviewed Ashley Judd, who visited eastern Congo about six months ago with Population Services International, and witnessed the tens of thousands of refugees there. "Goma," says Judd, "is a shithole." Writes Dickey, "the description is perfectly accurate." There are no paved roads, there are giant potholes, there's rubble and dust, and there was a volcanic eruption not that long ago. More »

The new issue of Vanity Fair isn't out yet, but Miley Cyrus is already warning fans that she's mortified of the semi-topless pictures of herself inside. "I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed," she says. A starlet's first shameful shoot is a tale as old as time and a rite of passage, no? [Us Magazine]
The Disney Channel, which airs Miley's hit show, Hannah Montana, says: "Unfortunately... A situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines." [People]
Ooooh here's a shot. Provocative? It's Annie Leibovitz, of course. She's really been controversial lately. [E!]
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt did attend the White House Correspondents dinner on Saturday night. They sat at Fortune magazine's table.

Stay classy, D.C.! [Page Six]

Ashley Judd To Design Cheap Clothing Line, Burberry Targets Renaissance Faire Demographic

Jennifer — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 10:32:21 EDT

Ashley Judd is designing an el cheapo clothing line a la Sarah Jessica Parker. The lucky recipient of this collection: The clothing chain Goody's. Which makes sense in the "paradigmatic" sense until you're like, wait a second, Ashley Judd? Who the fuck ever paid attention to her outfits? Does simultaneously belonging to the Judd family and not having big hair account for some huge personal style statement? [WWD]

David Lynch is slated to direct the TV ads for the new Gucci fragrance. It would be funnier if the scent was also "inspired" by David Lynch, and we could imagine it smelling of decomposing human flesh and surrealism, but we guess this is just what you do these days when your last really memorable project was cancelled 15 years ago. [WWD]

Levi's premium line, Red, is "inspired" by Japanese design. Which was funny because all the Japanese designers are ever trying to do is recreate classic Levi's. [WWD]

Appearing in the new Burberry ad campaign: Up-and-coming English rocker boys lounging alongside the stable of Burberry girls Agyness Deyn, Lily Cole, Kiera Gormley, and Georgia Frost. The word the publicists have chosen to apply to this collection? "Medieval." Right. Because there is something so totally Canterbury Tales about the combination of trenchcoats and professional cokeheads. [Times of London] More »
