Ashley Judd, Kentucky's Biggest Fan, Now a Graduate

In the last few years Ashley Judd has probably garnered more attention for being a Kentucky basketball fan than she has for her acting. But now she's not just a Kentucky fan, she's also a Kentucky graduate. Judd, who attended Kentucky from 1986 to 1990 but left without graduating, has completed the last class she needed for her degree in French.

I'm usually cynical about celebrity sports fans -- how many Lakers games would Jack Nicholson attend if they weren't on TV? -- but Judd has always struck me as a real fan, not just someone trying to leech off the attention a sports team gets.

So even though I'm not sure what use Judd has for a French degree at this point in her life, I think this is cool. Congratulations, Ashley.
