Judge Judy, also known as Judy Sheindlin, has once left a TV producer shocked with her dating advice. Fran Weinstein recently opened up about her relationship with the celebrity judge. She claimed that she had interviewed the “Judy Justice” star multiple times. Once, after one of these interviews, the producer reportedly asked the former New York judge to find her a man. When Sheindlin responded, it left Weinstein in shock.

Judge Judy showed what the TV producer really needs

Judge Judy’s dating advice to TV producer Fran Weinstein was nothing like what the latter expected. The former “Entertainment Tonight” producer opened up about her interviews and candid interactions with Judy Sheindlin. She told Page Six that she had met the former judge “countless times” throughout her career. 

She then recalled a story when Weinstein interviewed Sheindlin at her Connecticut home. At the time, the latter was at the peak of her fame. As the two ladies formed a close bond, the producer didn’t hesitate to seek dating advice. After the filming ended, they walked in the woods, where he told Judge Judy, “Don’t you know anybody you can fix me up with?”

To this, the reality court-show star replied, “Franny, you don’t need a man. I’m going to show you what you need.” While Weinstein was hoping her friend didn’t pull out anything “weird,” Sheindlin grabbed a “shoebox-sized medieval receptacle.”

“[Sheindlin] plops it down, and pulls out a .32 caliber pistol! She then proceeds to say, ‘Franny, Jerry was gone last night. I put this under my pillow, and slept like a baby,’” the celebrity judge said. Her response left the producer surprised.

Later, the 83-year-old told the outlet that she couldn’t recall the incident. However, she called the advice “brilliant.” For those unversed, she married for the second time to Jerry Sheindlin in 1977. However, they got divorced in 1990 only to tie the knot again the following year.

Ex-Prince Andrew’s Home Isn’t For Someone Who Used to Be Royal — Writer

Ex-Prince Andrew’s home reportedly felt far smaller than many expected for someone born into palace life. As per a new claim by writer Julia Banim, the Sandringham property looked more like a comfortable country house than a former royal base, and that contrast stood out immediately. The ex-prince’s move also came during a messy stretch, with Easter plans reportedly disrupted as Andrew shifted between properties before finally spending his first night at Marsh Farm on Easter Monday.

Writer claims Ex-Prince Andrew’s home won’t stop anyone in their tracks

As per the Mirror report, Julia Banim visited Marsh Farm shortly after Andrew’s move. She said, “This isn’t the sort of property that stops you in your tracks.” Then, she sharpened the picture further, calling it “large, but not imposing.” According to Banim, the red-brick house looked more like the place of a “well-to-do middle-class businessman.” That, she wrote, was not what many would expect for a former royal.

Meanwhile, Banim added several details that made the place feel even less grand. She said a “low wooden fence” stood between her and the lawn. She also described “molehill puckered” ground and an “ordinary, puddle-streaked country lane” outside.

At the same time, she noted there was little privacy from that vantage point. The front windows, she wrote, were only “a stone’s throw away.” Then came the detail that stayed with her most. She said, “The smell of wet mud took me aback.” That image gave Andrew‘s home a damp, earthy feel rather than a protected royal one.

However, the same report tied the modest setting to a larger Easter headache. The Mirror said Andrew’s back-and-forth between Wood Farm and Marsh Farm affected Prince Edward and Sophie’s holiday plans. A source claimed, “It’s got to be sorted,” because the Edinburghs liked using Wood Farm.

According to the report, the couple instead stayed at Garden House over Easter. By Easter Monday, Andrew reportedly spent his first night at Marsh Farm. Still, Banim’s description lingered. the ex-prince’s home may have had five bedrooms and outbuildings, but the writer said it lacked the kind of impact once linked with his old life.
