Well... you could ask the same of Courtney Cox, who became famous merely for dancing with Bruce Springsteen in a video. And she's not exactly keeping Meryl Streep up at night either. Since you can pretty much stick a fork in Sheryl's music career, it's good that she is diversifying. Admittedly, when I think of a cougar, Sheryl does not come to mind. I tend to think of someone who looks ridiculous in age-inappropriate attire and appears peeled, plumped and pulled back in an effort to give off the illusion of youth, e.g., pretty much all of the O.C. Housewives. Sheryl looks way too natural and effortless to be a cougar!
