Ashley Judd at Harvard: Don't Tell Anyone

Ashley Judd will probably never forgive us for saying she is currently enrolled at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government in the Mid-Career Master in Public Administration program. Bostonist knows she's there because the Harvard Crimson and the Boston Herald told us already.

The new revelation, courtesy of the Globe's Names Blog, is that Harvard is treating Judd's presence the way Dick Cheney treated the Naval Observatory when he lived there as V.P. Not there. The Globe said program director Robin Engel informed staffers that Judd's file has a "privacy block", Harvard cops will be present at any program coffee breaks - it's okay to laugh - to keep media or fans away, and any inquiries that do come in will be directed to her publicist on the other coast. Is anyone really so interested in her that these silly rules are needed?

Frankly, Dario Franchitti, her auto-racing husband, is much more interesting because he does this and walks away.
