SEX SYMBOL MAKES ASHLEY JUDD SICK

Ashley Judd says being a sex symbol makes her feel sick. The 'De-Lovely' actress, who was recently included in the US edition of men's magazine FHM's sexiest women alive list, has revealed that being viewed as a sexual object made her feel physically ill. The 38-year-old, who was speaking on Minneapolis radio station KDWB, fumed: "It's gross. Wouldn't the world be a nicer place if that magazine didn't exist?" Ashley stars as a troubled construction worker in new movie 'Come Early Morning'. The actress, who has taken a break from acting, insists she knew she wanted to get involved the project as soon as she read the script. She explained to CBS News' 'The Early Show': "The writing was so beautiful. It was deceptively simple. There was nothing pretentious or overwrought about it. It was evocative and rich. And I thought, 'This is a great piece of material and I want to be involved.'"
