" The verdict is in! Judge Judy gets top honors in the courtroom - and the bedroom - says her salty husband of 38 years," blares The Daily Mail, and while the video evidence under that headline doesn't exactly confirm those words, I believe them nonetheless. The 72-year-old is a perfectionist, she's thorough, and she carries herself like one hell of a top.

The discussion about Judith Susan Sheindlin's sex life occurred at a Beverly Hills luncheon (have you ever?!) called the Women of the 21st Century Awards, where Sheindlin was being honored. On the red carpet, Judy said something offhand not keeping her awards in her bedroom ("I sort of feel that is one place where I feel nobody should be getting awards") and then, as diligent journalists do, the Mail crosschecked this with Judy's husband Jerry Sheindlin (who once presided over The People's Court). Jerry reported that Judy "just gave me an award last night." Euphemism or nah? Who knows. He followed up that this oblique information is "a huge insight" into their sex life. "I have this statue which proves it but she has a short memory."

I'm confused, Jerry seems confused, but I bet Judge Judy is never confused about getting exactly what she wants how she wants it. There are nudes of Judge Judy that once existed (but no longer do , because she's too damn smart to ever be exposed in that way). Let that one sink in.

Here is a sexy picture of Judge Judy to get you through the rest of your day:
