JUDGE JUDY'S HUSBAND COURTING PUBLIC APPROVAL ON `PEOPLE'S COURT'

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Jerry Scheindlin may be best known as the real-life hubby of TV's "Judge Judy" but he'll soon be courting TV viewers of his own. Judge Jerry will be the new judge on "The People's Court," which begins its new season September 13. Scheindlin says being a TV judge requires more intensity than the real courtroom -- especially because he has to make at least one legal decision every 30 minutes Although Judge Jerry claims he's not jealous of his wife's success, he envies the fact that '50s rocker Bo Diddley has written a song about her and jokes he hopes his show inspires Madonna to do the same.
