When Are You 'Officially' A Cougar?
September 29th 2010 02:39
For years it seems the likes of Woody Allen, Billy Joel and Rod Stewart have been unkindly labelled as 'cradle snatchers'.
OK - perhaps there were a few years difference between each of them and their respective 'squeezes' . . . and yes . . . Woody Allen is just plain wrong - but it takes two to tango as they say and you don't have to dig too deep to see the motives behind their better halves.
But what of the new age Cougar?
Held in reverence by most - the 'cougar' doesn't appear to come in for the same public lambasting as the 'cradle snatcher' and in the most part is almost cannonised for their deeds in reclaiming the so-called status quo.
Topping the list would have to be Demi Moore, Madoona and the not so young anymore Kylie Minogue.
But then there's the psuedo cougars.
After failed marriages to two older men, soon-to-be hot mommy Halle Berry, 40, recently admitted to finding true love with 31-year-old French Canadian model Gabriel Aubry
Perhaps thinking a younger man might do the trick, Elizabeth Taylor is no newcomer to the life of a cougar mind you having weded Lawrence Fortensky, a man two decades her junior.
Then there's Kim Cattrall. The 50-year-old actress best known for her role as Sex and the City's Samantha Jones is also proficient at on- and off-screen predatory behaviour.
But how 'old' or what age difference does a woman have to be to earn the title of being a cougar?
