ASHLEY JUDD - JUDD FINDS WAYS OF RAISING MORE AIDS CASH

Movie star ASHLEY JUDD has "radically altered" her spending habits so she can give more money to AIDS charities.

The actress has signed up as a Youth AIDS ambassador and admits the experience of seeing AIDS victims on her travels around the world has made her realise just how important raising cash for her chosen charities is - and she's finding ways to give more.

Judd explains, "I know what $20 can do, what $600 can do, what $1 million can do, so I've radically altered my own spending - I will stay at the airport hotel rather than the $350-a-night one, and then I'll take the extra money and invest it to accrue interest, so I can later donate it."

And she's no longer interested in shopping: "I have so much s**t. I don't need more."

Judd recently filmed MTV AIDS documentary TRACKING THE MONSTER, during which she met young street-side prostitutes in Madagascar, who are often forced to have unprotected sex in squalor.
