A lot of things happened in the last couple of days. The most notable ones were the passing of 'Who's Who' in Malaysia - a royal and a politician. And off course, the sub-sequent brouhaha over an alleged unsavoury notes written by one particular blogger. After being informed by a friend and out of curiosity, I visited the blog - and is turned off by its blatant use of degrading words and remarks. Might be that I am already at an age (old?), where I cringed at people who are who are plainly disrespectful to others. Well, enough about that. No points in discussing that kind of character, right ?
The topic of my rambling is 'Cougar' - not the animal - but the term that is gaining popularity now. I was intrigued previously and read an interesting article on the topic recently. Plus Courtney Cox was actually one of the nominees of this year's Golden Globe for her (comedic role) performance in 'Cougar Town'.
For those in the dark, Cougar is referred to 40 something women - single or recently divorced - who seek (devour?) younger man. Got it ? If no, then enter Demi (Moore) and Ashton (Kutcher). Demi is 16 years older than her hubby of a couple of years. And I'm sure you have read about Madonna (unless you have been hiding under a rock or has become katak bawah tempurung) and his toy boy - Jesus Luz. The Material Girl is 51 and the Model is 22.
The article touched on the issue of the relationship itself - mostly on whether the reunion can last. The cougar poster couple Susan Sarandon (63) and Tim Robbins (51) calls it quits recently....after 23 years together. Which brings to the one question - will it last ? Thanks to plastic surgery and advancement in the cosmetic industry plus extra effort in keeping tabs of your heath (gym, anybody?) - Jesus might proudly declare that his current love thinks and acts like a 30 years old.
The argument is that, okay at 50, you can still work it out to be on par with your 30 something (or 20 something) - but once you reach 60, things changed drastically - HRT, plastic surgery, etc, probably can still help - but not much. Guess that's what happened to Susan Sarandon - once she reached 60 - after 23 years in the affair.
Closer to home, we have an actress who is married to a footballer, 11 years her junior. Maybe they can prove the critics wrong. If I am not mistaken, there is also a veteran actress who married a guy who is half her age.
Lucky Mr Hubby is juz a couple of years younger....
