See Judge Judy — Without Her Robes!

Here Comes the Judge! Judge Judy Sheindlin slipped into something a little more comfortable than a formal black robe to take one of her beloved shih tzus, Diva, for a walk yesterday in a rainy Beverly Hills! Where’s Diva’s little pal, Bogey? Maybe he doesn’t care for the very non-California weather.

Judge Judy has been weathering a bit of a storm herself since the fall, when The ENQUIRER reported that her show was accused of being phony and the judge herself duplicitous! More than a dozen complaints were filed accusing Judge Judy — who rakes in an amazing $47 million — of reaching decisions before cases are even heard on TV!

The jurist once explained how she… er, judges a judge: “A good judge knows that the first thing they have to do is to judge, which means you have to make a decision. And it has been my experience that judges, mostly because they don’t like to offend — but some don’t like to work hard, some of them don’t have the information, some of them don’t have the expertise — they would much prefer parties to civil litigation settle.”
