When Cougars Attack

While promoting her new reality series "The Cougar," about a 40-something woman courted by much younger men, Vivica A. Fox was asked if she has adopted the cougar philosophy in her own life.


"I met a couple of people recently who sparked my interest," the 44-year-old actress told People.com. "And yes, I am being a cougar! They are all much younger than me. I always tell them I am in my 40s up front."

Fox says the show is "empowering" for women like Stacey Anderson, 40, the "cougar" who is the object of affection for 20 young hopefuls on the new TV Land series, which airs Wednesday nights at 10 p.m.

"A lot of people think that because a woman is older and is going to date a younger guy that she just wants a young stud muffin in bed," she says. "No! That is not the case. The show will show that age is just a number."

As for her own dating status, "I am single right now," she says. "I am a different breed of chick. I like to go by the beat of my own drum. I haven't found a man that I want to answer to."

This is a cougar heaux that needs to be spayed and put down and out of her misery. Vivica is one pinch away from dire straits, so young men, if you see her coming, please ask if this feline has had all her shots!
