Ha ha, I wish! However, I am participating in Finish the Sentence Friday, and the prompt is:
“If I could hang out with any celebrity, it would be…”
I have always been a fan of Ashley Judd. She has starred in some of my favorite movies, to include Kiss The Girls, Double Jeopardy, High Crimes, Where the Heart Is… But what I really love about her is her passion, drive, advocacy, and activism.

I think it would be so cool to hang out with her because we have so much in common! We would surely be besties in no time! We both studied abroad in France, we both love politics, we both are advocates and activists, we both obviously love movies, and we both have a Masters in Public Administration, although hers is from Harvard and mine is NOT! We both love SEC sports (although her team is UK and my time is SC!)
She is also, like me, a humanitarian and a philanthropist. She is a Christian and spiritual. She, like I did, wanted to join the Peace Corps, but got side tracked by something else.
She is beautiful, smart, and a true example of class.
I was slightly disappointed to hear she has decided not to run for Senate, but it was probably a smart decision.
I would love to have a day to chat with her.
You can find out all about her on her website Ashley Judd.

Alexa, I loved your choice and I too love Ashley Judd, but didn’t know all this great background information you shared here. Seriously, she would have been a great choice for senator and would have love to have seen that!! Thanks a million for linking up with us,too!! 🙂
Thanks Janine! I really enjoyed this one!
I had not known much about Ashley Judd. Thanks for educating me! You two clearly would be instant besties!
I mean, clearly!! Lol!
I didn’t know all this stuff about AJ, but she always seemed like a nice person. My husband had a celebrity crush on her for a long time, so I kind of enjoy watching her age (along with me). Ha!
Yes, I chose a picture from 7 years ago… she is not quite so youthful but still beautiful! 🙂
Ashley Judd is pretty amazing. My husband has a huge crush on her and often tells me that she has the best voice ever.
I have always loved Ashley Judd, her passion comes through in her AMAZING acting. I really admire everything she’s accomplished. I’m sure you two would be besties in no time!
Okay, I recognize she’s a great humanitarian … but how can you like anyone that is for UK? lol I live in Lexington and it is the major thorn in my side here. Oh well, I guess we all have our failings. : ) Nice post!
You know? I actually really love Ashley Judd, for all the reasons you just mentioned. She has a lot of integrity and is a great actress. You guys are coming up with really good celebrities, whereas I was a slacker who took the easy way out! ;P Great idea!
Lol. I have never really been that into Ashley Judd, though I was a big fan of The Judds when I was a kid. 😉 I dont’ know who I would choose as hanging out with a celebrity. I’d probably choose some actor I have a crush on, and then I’d get myself into trouble with my fella. 😉
What a great choice! She is such a wonderful lady.
