Actress Ashley Judd had emergency surgery last week. While filming a new movie “Helen” last week, the actress suffered from a appendicitis attack and had to be taken to the hospital for emergency surgery.

According to press reports, “The actress was filming the new movie when she had the attack and collapsed on the set. She was immediately admitted to the same hospital where she was filming and received emergency surgery.”“Luckily, the cast and crew were filming at a real hospital, so when paramedics arrived, they simply put Ashley on a stretcher and wheeled her into an operating room nearby,” a source said of the situation.

Production of the movie was halted for a few days, but everyone went back to work this morning.

Hope she is better!

Ashley Judd is working with Knoxville, Tenn. based retailers Goody on three new affordably priced clothing lines that use organic fibres and cruelty free production: A.J., Love, Ashley and Ashley Judd.

While celebrity designers are nothing new, Ashley and Goody will donate $500, 000 to needy schools in the SE states during their first year alone. Initially uninterested in the offer believing there was already “too much stuff in the world”, Judd soon changed her mind when Goody convinced her they would be happy to make ‘stylish’ synonymous with ‘socially conscious’.

SEE! Not all celebrities are turds!

She’s so beautiful!

39-year-old Ashley Judd received a bachelor’s degree in French, but it wasn’t clear whether she attended any of Sunday’s graduation ceremonies, UK spokesman Jay Blanton told the Lexington Herald-Leader for a story on its Web site.

Judd attended the university from 1986 to 1990, but left one course shy of graduation.

Blanton said student confidentiality laws prevented him from saying how she finally received her degree.

In an interview last year, Judd told the newspaper that she would probably take a correspondence course to finish the one class necessary to get a degree. When she left in 1990, online and correspondence courses weren’t allowed to count toward graduation.
