Actresses Ashley Judd and Kirsten Dunst will make a campaign stop for John Kerry Wednesday morning in Fort Myers. The two are part of the "Women on the Move" bus tour, which is touring Florida in the final week before the election.
Judd and Dunst are scheduled to appear at the Arcade Theater, at 2267 First Street in downtown Fort Myers, at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. The event is open to the public – no tickets are required.
Tour officials say the group has visited communities and college campuses to spread the message of how critically important women's votes will be to the outcome of the election.
They say that in 2000, 22 million unmarried women didn't vote, and they want to change that statistic.

*NEW SCANS ADDED TODAY*
Ashley Judd religiously tunes into a sex talk show hosted by a veteran Canadian nurse.
The beauty admits she gets great pleasure from watching Sex Talk with Sue Johanson, and she's thoroughly impressed with the candid manner in which the host deals with a range of subjects, from anal sex to zygotes.
Judd says, "She's fantastic! Sue Johanson is a nurse. She's in her 60s, she has a tight perm, she's very practical. She gets on that show and... she talks about medically accurate sex education and then she also does a little love advice and stuff like that mixed in with it.
"She's always encouraging women to empower themselves with their sexuality... I believe that we are made by God, we have the gift of self-knowledge given to us by God, what's the problem? It's your body. We all have a right to be here, we all have a right to experience pleasure."
And as well as getting entertainment from watching Johanson play with vibrators, she's also enjoyed good sexual benefits at home with her husband Dario.
She admits, "Dario located my G spot! I called my sister and I go, 'What was that?' And she goes, 'That's your sweet spot!'"

HALL OF FAME - Because she neither resented nor receded into the long shadows cast by her mother (Naomi) and older sister (Wynonna), who achieved fame as country music's the Judd's. Because she drove from Kentucky to Hollywood at the age of 22 and soon brought her genuine, fearless chrisma and poise to a town that can blindly worship the packaging of its talent. Because last year, having already starred in some 20 films (most recently, De-Lovely), she took on the role of a lifetime: global ambassador for YouthAIDS -- an international health initiative that strives to raise awareness and combat the spread of HIV/AIDS. Because she has executed her mission with conviction and a sense of urgency, having traveled in July to Cambodia and Thailand, countries with some of the highest HIV prevalence rates in Asia. Because she has signed on as the new face of American Beauty Cosmetics, and together they will launch the program NutritionAID, a sister fund to YouthAIDS that will help teens battle obesity -- an illness which after smoking, is arguably the leading cause of preventable death in the US. Because she believes we can empower adolescents and parents, many from disadvantaged households, by educating them about nutrition and fitness. Because her fire inspires and as an impassioned advocate, she reminds us that beauty can embody generosity, accessibility, and hope. Because she believes without qualification that "once you know the facts [about AIDS] it is impossible not to make addressing the pandemic the priority of one's life."

High-flying freshman Joe Crawford dazzled the crowd and got a personal congratulation from actress Ashley Judd early Saturday morning with a double-pump reverse dunk during Big Blue Madness, the ceremonial start to Kentucky's preseason practices.
"He's been working on that all summer," Kentucky coach Tubby Smith commented to the capacity crowd of mostly students at Memorial Coliseum.
Judd, a 1990 Kentucky graduate, then wandered onto the floor, microphone in hand.
"I'm Ashley," she said, drawing laughs. She then walked over to Crawford and shook his hand, flashing her movie-star smile.
"Nice dunk," she said.

Speaking with Wynonna
On sisterhood: The "Oprah" show really gave me the chance to reconnect with Ashley. We've missed each other so much because our lives have taken such different paths. I've had to really work to develop a sisterhood with her because I raised her, so I was more like mommy than sister to her. She's all I've got, and I love her so much. Ashley has always been my light in this world.

Ashley Judd feels like a Natural Woman - Her Tennessee home, her family, Southern food, and the trees and flowers around her -- to this star, keeping it real means keeping it beautifully simple:
Scans: October issue of InStyle Magazine
As the spokeswoman for American Beauty, a new line from the Estee Lauder Companies launching this month at Kohl's stores, Judd has thought a lot about what makeup should - and shouldn't - be. "It should be fun," she says, "something you wear to reflect a mood, not to get confidence."
