Ashley Judd, 57, shares body-positive message in swimsuit: ‘We don't care club'
The actress, 57, shared a body-positive message on Instagram Tuesday while swimming in the Baltic Sea.
'Hi, I'm Ashley and I am a member of the 'We don't care club,'' she declared at the start of the video.
'And when I'm in my swim suit [sic], sometimes I get a little chafing, like right down there,' she said, referring to her upper thighs. She explained that she uses cornstarch as a remedy for it and if people can see the residue on her thighs, she doesn't care.
Judd went on to address her 'inner child' and said it belongs to the 'MSU club' — aka the 'Make stuff up club.'
'And as a post menopausal woman, I don't care if you don't like the 'MSU club' for inner children,' the 'Double Jeopardy' star screamed as she attempted to backflip into the water.
'I'm also picking my crotch, and I don't care,' she continued while adjusting her one-piece bathing suit. 'I probably have cellulite and I don't care. And I got hungry bum and I don't care.'
The actress went on to do several water tricks because 'when we were little it was really fun and we don't care what people think of us.'
In the caption of the Instagram Reel, Judd further talked about embracing her aging body.
'What will I, with my freedom & mirth, when I let go of caring about stupid, controlling norms about my female body, be free to enJOY? . . . I bask in the unselfconscious being-ness of my True Self. My Inner Child is free to emerge. She feels confidence & glee.
'
Fans flooded the comments section applauding her video and relating to her message.
'I love this. It made my inner (and whole being) laugh happily several times.
' one fan wrote. 'Love your I don't care club!' another added.
Judd has been a longtime advocate for women. She was one of the first prominent actresses to publicly accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment and played a pivotal role in the #MeToo movement.
'The healing I've done has very powerfully shaped my work. It's made me unafraid, it's made me incredibly driven,' Judd told the AP in 2018.
The daughter of singing legend Naomi Judd revealed that her mom encouraged her to expose the now-disgraced Hollywood mogul for his abuse.
'I just want to remember when I was speaking to my mother about this she said, 'Go get him, honey' in her sweet way, in dulcet tones… not a punitive bone in her body,' Ashley said of her late mom in October 2022.
Ashley revealed that she was the one who found her mother's body after Naomi fatally shot herself in April 2022.
'I went upstairs to let her know that [her] friend was there, and I discovered her. I have both grief and trauma from discovery,' she told Diane Sawyer the next month.
Ashley and her half-sister, Wynonna Judd, 61, were left out of their mother's will, but denied that they ever argued over the matter despite speculation. Instead, the Grammy winner insisted that the tragedy brought them closer together.
'Both my parents are gone, and I'm relying on Ashley,' Wynonna told People in October 2022.
'She's relying on me in a different way that's about compassion. It's not about being successful and smart and capable. It's about, 'I love you.' 'I love you, too.' We're vulnerable with each other, and we're tender.'Solve the daily Crossword

Jennifer Lopez Suffers Mid-Performance Wardrobe Malfunction During Her Concert: 'I'm Glad I Had Underwear on, I Don't Usually'
Fans praised the singer for handling the situation "like a pro" Jennifer Lopez's skirt ended up "On the Floor" during her latest concert, but she didn't let it detract from the show! The musician, who recently celebrated her 56th birthday, handled a mid-performance wardrobe malfunction like a pro while she was in Warsaw, Poland, on July 25. During her gig at the PGE Narodowy stadium — as part of her Up All Night: Live in 2025 tour — Lopez thanked fans for coming out to the show, when a glittery skirt she was wearing randomly snapped off her body and fell to the stage floor. Though Lopez was unsuccessful in trying to stop the skirt from hitting the ground, she didn't let the mishap take away from the moment, which was shared on her official YouTube channel, as well as by fans on Instagram. The hitmaker played the incident off by smiling big and strutting around the stage with her arms in the air, even pulling off a little spin. "I'm out here in my underwear," Lopez joked, as a dancer approached her with the skirt and attempted to put it back on. "That's gonna be everywhere." "I'm glad that they reinforced that costume," she later said. "And I'm glad I had underwear on. I don't usually wear underwear." Lopez later tossed the skirt to fans in the crowd and told them to "keep it," joking that she didn't "want it back." Lopez was praised by fans for how she laughed off the onstage wardrobe malfunction. "She's adorable & handled it like a pro that she is 🙌🏻," one supporter captioned footage of the moment shared on Instagram. "👏👏🙌🔥😍😂life is too short," another fan wrote in the comments section of a post. The "Ain't Your Mama" singer's latest tour stop came after she celebrated her birthday on July 24. Lopez marked the occasion by dropping a new song titled "Birthday," and she was presented with a huge three-tiered cake as she celebrated with dancers and musicians on the road with her. Lopez kicked off the tour, her first in six years, with a performance in Galicia, Spain, on July 8. It took place over a year after she canceled her This Is Me... Live tour in May 2024. In celebration of her birthday in Antalya, Turkey, Lopez shared a bare-faced photo of herself — as well as some celebratory clips — with a caption dedicated to her fans. 'What a gift you all are," the mother of two wrote. "Thank you so much for all your beautiful birthday wishes.' Lopez is next set to perform in Bucharest, Romania, on Sunday, July 27. She will then make her way to Istanbul and beyond in the weeks to follow, before her international run wraps on Aug. 12 in Sardinia. Read the original article on People

How Tom Cruise & Ana de Armas' Relationship Is Reminding Fans of His Brief Romance With Sofía Vergara
Tom Cruise may have a new love interest — but longtime observers are getting déjà vu. The 63-year-old actor touched down in London this week with Ana de Armas, 37, arriving via private helicopter with her two dogs and former F1 driver David Coulthard in tow. While neither star has confirmed a romance, the jet-setting, the grins, and the lavish gestures are starting to look familiar. Cruise kept it casual in a navy T-shirt and jeans, waving enthusiastically as Ana followed behind in a Vermont sweatshirt and leggings, cradling her Maltese Elvis. Havanese pup Salsa trotted beside her. It looked like a cozy couple moment — and if you ask the internet, maybe something more. More from SheKnows Pamela Anderson & Liam Neeson Can't Keep Their Hands off Each Other - And Fans Are Losing It 'Tom has been showering Ana with gifts ever since they met,' a source told Daily Mail. 'It's his thing, he is thoughtful.' The gifts reportedly began with flowers and books — the latter of which has raised some eyebrows — then escalated to gold bracelets, designer clothes, and globe-hopping getaways. 'Probably the biggest gift he has given her is being able to go anywhere in the world at a moment's notice,' the insider added. 'She loves to travel.' Sound familiar? Cruise pulled the same moves with Sofía Vergara back in 2005, calling her constantly and sending flowers and chocolates after they met at a pre-Oscar party. According to reports, she was briefly dazzled — until she realized she was being 'auditioned' for a role that came with a conversion clause. The romance fizzled when she refused to leave her Catholic faith for Scientology. Cruise reportedly attempted to rekindle the romance back in 2023 with no luck. Cruise's reputation for orchestrated courtship isn't new. Between the Vergara chapter and the much-publicized relationship with Katie Holmes (who allegedly filed for divorce to protect daughter Suri from the Church), Cruise has kept his personal life meticulously private — but often telling in pattern. The Mission Impossible star and de Armas have known each other since Wasp Network in 2019 and are now filming Deeper, a supernatural thriller directed by Doug Liman. 'It's so much fun, and we're definitely working on a lot of things,' the Knives Out star teased in a May Good Morning America interview. 'Not just one but a few projects with Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom. And I'm so excited.' Are they just colleagues? Longtime friends? Or is Cruise, once again, trying to script something more? One thing's clear: the gifts are back.

Cyberpunk 2 associate game director admits CD Projekt Red "are sometimes slower" than players would like, and yeah, I'd already made peace with the fact we'll be waiting on this sequel for years
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Cyberpunk 2077 quest design director Paweł Sasko admits that "we are sometimes slower [than] you would like" as the delayed Patch 2.3 finally goes live. The new update for Cyberpunk, which adds new vehicles, gameplay options, bug fixes and quality of life improvements, was originally planned for release on June 26, 2025, but wound up being pushed back to July 17 when developer CD Projekt Red announced on social media that "we'll need some more time to make sure we're happy with it". With Patch 2.3 now finally going live, Sasko, who's also associate game director on the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, tells fans to "enjoy" the update as he says: "Everything we do, is for you. We are sometimes slower [than] you would like to [sic], but we always have the best of our community and our game in heart." Despite the apologetic tone, it seems as though the community has been perfectly happy to wait for the end result. Early initial reactions to Patch 2.3 seem positive, and even the original announcement that it was being rescheduled back in June was largely met with understanding and patience by the fanbase. That might be due to the fact that it's generally understood that game development is taking longer and longer with every passing year, an issue that's by no means exclusive to CDPR. As graphics and technology get more complicated and the scale of many projects increases, the time and resources needed to create these games is only getting greater, not helped by some studios jumping the gun and announcing projects way in advance of their actual release. To hammer that point home, The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced back in 2018, and there's no reason to think it'll be out any time soon. But of course, that community patience could always be because CDPR specifically has learned its lesson about rushed development. Cyberpunk's launch in 2020 was notorious for its poor performance and missing features, particularly on consoles, as well as brutal levels of crunch being reported in the months leading up to the game's release date. Consequently, the fanbase seems happy for the company to pace itself and its workload, considering the ugly consequences of what happened when it didn't. I fully agree with them on that score. Still, Sasko's comment is a reminder that good things come to those who wait, and a momentary glimpse into the priorities of a CD Projekt Red that appears to have learned its lesson. I guess with current industry trends and timescales in mind, I look forward to playing the Cyberpunk sequel sometime around the actual year 2077. Despite a rough start, Cyberpunk 2077 would eventually make it up to our list of the best RPGs! Check out what else made the list – and what took the first place spot.
