Ashley Judd Promises More Dick Vitale Kissing If Wildcats Win

If the Kentucky Wildcats win the NCAA tournament, expect more lip locking between Ashley Judd and Dick Vitale!

Last weekend, a celebratory kiss (after the Wildcats beat Arkansas 78-63 in the SEC championship) between the actress and the ESPN sportscaster had social media going crazy – and Ashley tells Access Hollywood there could be more kissing on the way.

Access caught up with the Ashley – an always vocal University of Kentucky alum – at the “Insurgent” premiere on Monday, where she was quick to squash the brouhaha surrounding the smooch.

“That’s my friend Dick Vitale,” she said after we showed her the photo of the buzzy lip-lock.

And her friend might need to pucker up yet again.

“If and when Kentucky wins championship number nine… I will kiss Dick again,” she said.

And it’s not just the ESPN sportscaster who’s in for it.

“I will kiss the entire press row. I will probably kiss the band, the student section,” Ashley continued. “And I will save the Wildcat for last, because he’s my favorite.”
