Look out, Naomi: Ashley’s telling it all. Ashley Judd, actress/activist/denim designer, has inked a deal to publish a memoir in cooperation with Ballantine Books, the publisher announced in a release on Tuesday. The book, Ashley’s first, will draw from more than 500 pages of journal entries chronicling the star’s childhood through her work as global ambassador for PSI/Youth AIDS and marriage to IRL driver Dario Franchetti.

“By sharing my own story along with those of the beautiful and resilient people I’ve met in the most desperate places, I want to show how the change we seek in the world must start within us,” Judd said in a statement released by Ballantine, a division of Random House Inc.

Ashley was treated for depression in 2006. She told Glamour at the time that her tough childhood — which included attending 13 schools in 12 years and living at various times with her mother, father and grandmother — made her “a hyper-vigilant child” and obsessed with perfectionism as an adult.

“I hope that this book will be a call to action as well as a memoir,” says Judd. Ashley will collaborate on the effort with Maryanne Vollers, who contributed to Hilary Clinton’s best-selling memoir, Living History.

There will be a foreword by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof. The still-untitled autobiography hits booksellers’ shelves in the spring of 2011.
