'12
True story – in the Halloween costume post I did earlier today, I was considering adding Jenny McCarthy as an example of the costume trend I despise – women dressing sexy and calling it a costume. I mean, this is just wearing lingerie, there’s nothing Haloweenie (that’s with an “ie” I decided, not a “y,” blame Tim Burton) or creative about it. It’s an excuse to show T&A, which basically explains Jenny’s entire existence so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. So I skipped her, because it was lame and predictable, as is this accompanying story about Jenny that I’m choosing to run. It turns out Jenny did have a theme for her costume other than “stripper.” She was a cougar! Oh how clever. Jenny’s 40th birthday is today, and she was out celebrating it. Jenny explained to People that she’s single and needs to “learn to love myself completely before I love someone else.” What better way to do that than to don a fun, inconspicuous costume that doesn’t showcase her budget boob job? Oh wait.
Though Thursday marks her 40th birthday, the Playboy cover girl told PEOPLE, “I sadly have the same thought that my parents say every birthday which is, ‘I don’t feel that old.’ So, I have decided to make my mindset 40 is the new 15. Okay, fine – the new 22.”
Dressed as a “cougar” – a joke, considering her age – the ever-youthful McCarthy headed to Las Vegas with her sister (also dressed as a cougar) Wednesday to celebrate her birthday at Gallery Nightclub.
But one person you won’t see with her any time soon is a boyfriend, though she has singled out a familiar face that she’s “courting.”
“I have not met anyone yet that is a potential love,” she said. “I have myself under construction. I’ll let you know when the roads are clear and reopened.”
Since splitting in August with Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, her boyfriend of five months, McCarthy still has an open mind about finding romance.
“I’m in love with falling in love. I have come to realize, though, that I need to practice what I preach and learn to love myself completely before I love someone else,” she said. “So, I’ve been courting myself and having a great time with me, myself and I.”
Jenny is only flattering herself if she thinks she has the mindset of a 22 year-old. She was accurate the first time when she said “15.” When I was 22 I knew better than to wear a corset without anything over it. But it’s Halloween so she gets a pass, right? I’m thinking Jenny is going to fall in love with the next guy she meets who is into it, not when she’s “ready,” but I could be wrong. Maybe she’ll wait a whole month or two.
I have to hand it to her, she does look good here in that overprocessed way of hers. Also, someone spray tan airbrushed her boob cleavage, didn’t they? Are you seeing that too?

I see that her bra is way too small. Is this a new trend or something? Yesterday it was Miss Greene, today this “cougar”-sexkitten-someone. It´s not healthy!

I thought that I was the only one that noticed that. You can see all the blue veins too. Her boob-skin is stretched beyond the limit with those baseballs in her chest.

I too have stretch marks. Although she has fake boobs, she still stretched from growing her real boobs just like everyone else

Noticed that too – the “airbrush tan” didn’t cover it.

And I’m 22 and wouldn’t be caught dead wearing that on Halloween.

I agree about Jim. I wonder why they split…I used to really like her, but not really anymore. She used to make it all about her son, but it seems like she’s getting desperate. She’s wearing a ring on her ring finger…her hands don’t look 15 years old.

You know what helps celebrate the sexuality and beauty over women over the age of 35, Jenny? Not calling yourself a cougar.
You know, in general, I really hate to blame women for falling victim to a culture that consistently and repeatedly treats our bodies and our appearance through the male gaze and treats us like objects for male consumption. In general, I really try to avoid blaming women for the inherant sexism of our culture.
But you know, when women PARTICIPATE in it…it just really drives me up the wall.
I’m not mad she’s wearing lingerie. I’m mad that she (like many other women) felt the need to justify it by calling herself a cougar.
Joke or not, “cougar” is an offensive, sexist term.
There is no male equivalent. We don’t feel the need to justify men being sexy or attractive over the age of 40. We don’t condemn men for having sex with women who are 10 years younger. WE don’t even notice! No one even blinks.
The word “cougar” does not help women. It’s part of the system that holds them back and perpetuates this notion that men continue to age and just get sexier with age while women over the age of 40 are “desperate” or gross if they enjoy their bodies, sex or :gasp:: dare to have sex with a younger man.
Ladies…please just stop with the cougar nonsense. That word is not helping anyone. Show off your bodies. Enjoy sex. Do it all. THAT is how you help women over 40 have great sex. But please stop it with the cougar crap. End rant.

Thanks for this, Elle. The term “cougar” really bothers me, but I couldn’t quite figure out why. I think you nailed it!

It’s an awful, sexist term that culture has convinced US AS WOMEN to joke about. It’s one of those things that we joke about because if we don’t joke about it it’s so intensely offensive that I could cry.
I’m 29 years old and I freaking hate it. My 30 year old girlfriend married a 25 year old a few weeks ago and she was jokingly calling herself a cougar and I was like, “DO NOT DO IT. STOP STOP STOP.”
The sooner we eviscerate this idea that women “age” worse than men the less it will be our reality.

Beautifully said! As a 40+ woman with a younger 2nd husband…I find it not really offensive but puzzling why someone would call me a “cougar”. I just call myself lucky.

Of course! As you should! Happy marriages–no matter what age you are—are something to celebrate if that is what we choose.
I’m 29 years old and I feel strongly the the way women over 40 are treated is unfair and disgusting.
No one asks men to apologize for their sexuality over the age of 40. No one acts like Jon Hamm or Ewan McGregor or Brad Pitt became gross after they turned 40.
Yet, God forbid, a woman in her late 30′s in Hollywood play opposite a younger man. It’s news worthy. Why? It’s disgusting. And it will only change when people start to not stand for it anymore.

Thank you, both Elle & Ginger! I met my 2nd hubs before this whole “cougar thing” was a thing, and he’s 7 years younger than me. We’ve been married for over 11 years now, and while we’ve had our issues, I’ve resented the “cougar” label that came about AFTER our relationship/marriage.

Thank you for saying what I wanted to say with less profanity and more eloquence. Saying “40 is the new 15″ just says that a person is not okay with aging.

This looks like the action of a desperate woman who knows her looks are going and is putting it all out there…for what? Just what is she trying to accomplish here??? Does she think she’s “hot” she just looks like an over made-up whore!! Very sad..not that I like her much anyway, with all her past actions but she should realise that her looks,her overt ‘sexiness’ and her flaunting do not mean that people will take her seriously as an actress,spokesperson or whatever it is that she now does! With all those ghastly,pumped up,plastic housewives around,it seems that these women think that this is the desired look to aspire to!! Yuck! Poor little Evan! This woman looks unlike any ‘Mummy’ I know!!

I actually thought she had a good boob job but they do look weird here.
Anyway, her comment the new 14 is disgusting. But she’s disgusting too.

This is not “dressing sexy”. This is dressing whorey.
You would think that by the age of 40, this woman would have figured out what makes her special and valuable, and not have to resort to flashing her body to distinguish herself.

I mean..I guess she probably looks “hot” by a lot of people’s standards but this is just so try-hard to me.

My husband used to love her in the nineties. He walked by my computer one day while I was here at Celebitchy reading a post about her and said “OMG what has she done to her face???” He does not think she’s hot anymore at all.

Her skin looks really sun-damaged.
Also, I’m 24 and I would wear a corset for Halloween (at my current age, not 40) if it was cute, and it fit my boobs, and I was also wearing pants, and the rest of my costume looked like an actual costume. Jenny fulfills none of these requirements.

I really find it dismaying when older women try so desperately to prove their sexual prowess. There’s a lot to to be said for quiet confidence.
Conversely, I loathe when women make self-deprecating remarks regarding their age. My mother does this all the damn time and I’ve asked her to stop.

Um no 40 is definitely not the new 15. Grandma needs to put the delusion down and have a rest. Jenny is heading fast into Madonna territory.
Ladies if you are 40+ you are biologically capable of producing a second generation of children. That is why people call 40+ folks granny instead of Mom. Live with it Jenny. You’re old now.
