Read: The Weinsteins Bump All Their Movies to 2009

... It's been a little more than six months now since the American actress Ashley Judd caught a glimpse of her through the mud-streaked window of a battered car rattling toward Goma in eastern Congo. Today the headlines, mostly in the news-roundup columns, the "also in the world today" segments, say that tens of thousands of refugees are fleeing toward Goma, which already had so many. They are the miserable survivors of one of those wars the world hasn't quite forgotten, but just doesn't really give a damn about. Have a million people been killed there this decade? Actually, many more—

CALL+RESPONSE is a first of its kind feature documentary film that reveals the world’s 27 million dirtiest secrets: there are more slaves today than ever before in human history. CALL+RESPONSE goes deep undercover where slavery is thriving from the child brothels of Cambodia to the slave brick kilns of rural India to reveal that in 2007, Slave Traders made more money than Google, Nike and Starbucks combined.

Luminaries on the issue such as Cornel West, Madeleine Albright, Daryl Hannah, Julia Ormond, Ashley Judd, Nicholas Kristof, and many other prominent political and cultural figures offer first hand account of this 21st century trade. Performances from Grammy-winning and critically acclaimed artists including Moby, Natasha Bedingfield, Cold War Kids, Matisyahu, Imogen Heap, Talib Kweli, Five For Fighting, Switchfoot, members of Nickel Creek and Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers, Rocco Deluca move this chilling information into inspiration for stopping it. callandresponse.com

Fuel costs, birth control and transparency in government were issues that worked their way into a discussion between actress Ashley Judd, former U.S. senator Jean Carnahan and Melody Barnes, senior domestic policy adviser to Sen. Barack Obama, held Saturday at Broadway Books and Roasting Co. in Cape Girardeau...

Judd, a pro-choice advocate, also addressed the abortion issue, what she called a "divisive and polarizing issue in our society."

Allowing more ready access to birth control means reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies and thus cutting back on abortions, Judd said.

Judd, who also worked on the 2004 John Kerry presidential campaign, said she felt compelled to get involved with Obama's campaign after seeing him accept the Democratic nomination at the Democratic National Convention.

"I was inspired, and I was galvanized," she said.

Ashley Judd, actor and activist, is in Denver for the DNC. Joining pro-choice activists, she traveled to a Cherry Creek neighborhood to talk about one of her most important causes, women's health and reproductive rights.

She has helped these causes since she was a college sorority girl at the University of Kentucky. One summer, she and a fellow Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority sister drove cross country to see the nation. They stopped at Planned Parenthood clinics all along the way to help young girls who were being taunted by anti-abortion activists. This experience framed her future passions on women's health rights, attacking poverty around the world, and serving the sick and powerless in Africa. full story

Hollywood actress Ashley Judd has never paid the fine for a speeding ticket she received in Dyer County in 1993.

Judd was stopped at 4:25 p.m. June 6 on I-155 around mile marker 6, after Tennessee Highway Patrol Sgt. Robert Moore's radar clocked Judd's black Mercedes 300CE coupe zipping along at 87 mph in the 65-mph zone. She was passing another vehicle when radar tracked her at 22 mph over the speed limit.

"She asked me if I knew who she was," laughed Moore, recalling the stop. "I said it really didn't matter."

Judd told Moore the car was a recent gift from her mother, country singer Naomi Judd, and she was on her way to her Malibu, Calif. home.

Since Tennessee and California in 1993 had no reciprocity agreement for motor vehicle violations, Moore held Judd's driver's license to assure she either appeared in court or paid the $125 fine. The actress did neither. The license remains held.

Judd was relatively unknown at the time, but had started acting the month before in the first season of the NBC television series 'Sisters.'

Judd's publicist did not return calls seeking comment on the matter.

Ashley Judd says she decided to lend her voice against human trafficking after she "stumbled upon" the issue while visiting brothels, slums, hospices and other clinics in 12 nations to promote public health.

"I know that the unheard are helped when they are heard. I know that compassionate listening helps me, and my goal was to help the U.N. help them," the actress said at a news conference Tuesday, while appearing beside U.N. General Assembly President Srgjan Kerim and United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Anwar Gargash.

Judd, a two-time Golden Globe nominee whose screen credits include "De-Lovely" and "Kiss the Girls," also has used her celebrity to focus attention on HIV/AIDS prevention for young adults around the world. She has been serving as a global ambassador for YouthAIDS, an education and prevention program of the group Population Services International.

The cycle of Third World poverty cannot be broken until women have the freedom to regulate their own fertility, said actress and activist Ashley Judd, who recently returned from a three-week humanitarian mission to Rwanda and the Congo.

“A woman’s body is not the property of any church, state or other human being,” the outspoken daughter of country music star Naomi Judd and half sister of Wynonna Judd told TODAY’s Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb Monday in New York.

Judd, who is a global ambassador for Youth AIDS, a program sponsored by Population Services International, said it took her three weeks to recover from the emotional trauma of her trip.

"As hard as it is for me to write, I think it might be time to call Victor Nunez’s RUBY IN PARADISE a Forgotten Film.

It is 2008 and, even with the career that star Ashley Judd has had, it has yet to be released on DVD. In the past year, RUBY has been shown on the Sundance Channel, but it went several years without any TV airings. I don’t know how many have heard of it, or remember it..."
