At the age of 51, Michelle Pfeiffer has every right to air her grievances regarding the "cougar" phenomenon.

Not so much the concept (as she most recently took a love interest 24 years her junior in the upcoming "Cheri," premiering later this month), but more the term itself. Pfeiffer explains in the July issue of InStyle magazine, "I so hate that term! Men are sugar daddies and women are cougars? Men are strong and women are bitches?"

And more on that young love interest? Pfeiffer details the exploits of romancing her much younger leading men: "It was a progression. Paul [Rudd] is 11 years younger. With Ashton [Kutcher, 20 years younger], I thought, I'm never going younger than this again...."

It looked like Diablo Cody was the new Mrs. Robinson. Then we had Scary Spice and her "catty" couture. But those ladies need to step aside! Liz Hurley is in the house and we declare her the undisputed Queen of Cat Print.

You may be unfamiliar with Ms. Hurley's stunning line of leopard and and cheetah print beach wear. You read that right: leopard and cheetah. Because one big cat ain't enough for this cougar.

Anna Wintour is a cougar

Filed under: Celebrities with Style


Who's hotter -- Andy Roddick or Roger Federer? We're going to go with Roddick on this one because we've been secretly in love with him ever since he started dating Mandy Moore. But, Anna Wintour would beg to differ. The cougar in her has been set free and it looks like she's still trying to get her paws on Federer.

La Wintour had made plans to fly to Florida and watch the Sony Ericsson Open last week. But, then when Federer was knocked out of play earlier than expected, she mysteriously canceled her trip.

Get hip with office slang

Filed under: Events: On the Scene

Sure, how you look is important. Your clothes, your hair, your overall sense of style -- these things matter. But if you really want to stay current as the ranking social maven in your office, you'll need to get hip to the slang.

But why be content with latching on to whatever popular phrases all the other staff are using, when you could start your own linguistic trend?

For that, you can turn to geeksugar, and their growing list of new terminology for your everyday corporate endeavors. My personal favorite is "Xerox Subsidy" -- a euphemism for stealing free photocopies from your place of employment (probably 'cause I did that with reckless abandon at my last job -- shh, don't tell).

And, just to get in the spirit, I'd like to make a couple of my own additions to the list:

Speared: When you get caught in a conversation with the crazy, white-trash receptionist who just can't seem to get it together, no matter how many times she goes to rehab. (As in, "Sorry I'm late, I got Speared.")

Cougared: A Top Gun reference. When a work-obsessed colleague as been "holding on too tight" and "lost the edge." (As in: "What happened to Tim from accounting?" "Dude, he's on leave -- he Cougared.")
