ASHLEY JUDD BRINGS THE HEAT! UK ALUM POSES FOR HOCKEY POSTER

          Actress Ashley Judd has posed for a Univ. of KY Club
     Hockey poster "in nothing more than a hockey jersey and blue
     toenail polish," according to Heather Svokos of the
     LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER.  The team sent the UK alum a
     personalized hockey jersey while she was filming a movie in
     Vancouver, and Judd "sent back one picture -- the one that
     appears in the poster."  Upon Judd's request, the team "will
     not be selling the poster, but giving them away one per
     person at games."  UK Hockey Club GM Ian Ward said that the
     team didn't "give Judd any suggestions on how to pose," and
     UK spokesperson John Scharfenbarger said that the university
     "hadn't received any comments or complaints" about the
     poster.  Ward said the hockey team is "a club sport (not a
     part of UK's Athletics Association) funded by the gate and
     (concessions) and dues, and it gets minimal funding to the
     tune of $800 from the university" (HERALD-LEADER, 10/21).
