The Cougar: Meet Vivica A. Fox, host of The Cougar Show
The Cougar, from the creator of The Bachelor, sets up single older women with younger men, who vie for her attention. Fox will also hang out at the casino’s Nectar lounge to watch the first season’s finale of her show, which airs at 10 p.m.
Stacey, a 40-year-old mother of four, has two final suitors: 23-year-old Jimmy, who made out with her on a pool table last episode, and 25-year-old Colt, who disappeared with her in her suite for a while and shared a bubble bath with her.
Top Cougars: Women who date younger men
Hulk Hogan, Terry Bollea, Linda Bollea
Since her split with the Hulk, Linda Bollea has been dating a 19-year-old, according to her daughter. Seems Hogan doesn’t know best.
Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston and singer John Mayer were rumored to have been set up by their agents, just like she and ex-hubby Brad Pitt were. Did someone forget to mention John is a decade younger?
Halle Berry
Halle Berry shares her life and first child with . . .

Sandra Bullock
Sandra Bullock, 44, was probably Ryan Gosling’s first cougar. Unless he had a baby sitter we don’t know about. He was 16 years younger than she when they met on the set of “Murder by Numbers” in 2001. They dated until 2003. According to People, Hugh Grant used to call him “The Child.”
Sharon Stone
Sharon Stone likes ‘em young. She was briefly smitten with her “Bobby” co-star, Christian Slater. But now she’s reportedly seeing a 24-year-old, Chase Dreyfous, whom she met while working on the Planet Hope charity.
Ellen Barkin
Way back in 1994, Ellen Barkin dated Johnny Depp. Before he fell for young British supermodel Kate Moss, Depp was briefly seduced by the Barkin broad, then one of the sexiest actresses in Hollywood. Can you blame him? Did you see “Sea of Love?”
Vivica Fox
Vivica Fox
Vivica Fox has been attracting attention for performances that mix equal parts sass and class since making her 1989 screen debut in Born on the Fourth of July. A native of Indianapolis, where she was born July 30, 1964, Fox got her start on television with a stint on the daytime soap Days of Our Lives. After making her debut as a hooker in Oliver Stone’s aforementioned Born on the Fourth of July, the actress continued to do much of her work on television while appearing in the occasional film. She first attracted notice as Will Smith’s girlfriend in the blockbuster Independence Day (1996); her dynamic turn earned her — together with Smith — the MTV Award for Best Kiss that year.
Vivica Fox in Movies
Vivica Fox subsequently appeared in a diverse array of films, ranging from the acclaimed black ensemble romantic drama Soul Food (1997), which cast her as one of three sisters (the other two were played by Vanessa L. Williams and Nia Long), to Batman & Robin (1997), in which she played femme fatale Ms. B. Haven, to Why Do Fools Fall in love (1998), which featured her in a critically lauded portrayal of one of the three wives of singer Frankie Lymon.
Vivica Fox’s profile declined somewhat in the new millenium, although an appearance in the battle-of-the-sexes comedy Two Can Play That Game caught the attention of Quentin Tarantino, who was casting his Long-gestating fourth feature, Kill Bill. As the first victim of hired killer Uma Thurman, Fox brought a little blaxploitation-era sass to the role, making for a memorable, suburban-kitchen battle scene.
In addition to her flourishing film work, Vivica Fox continued to work on the small screen, most notably as Dr. Lillian Price on Steven Bochco’s predominately African American hospital drama City of Angels. 2005’s one-season-only reality show The Starlet offered Fox the opportunity to pass on her actorly wisdom — alongside head judge Faye Dunaway — to a group of Young hopefuls. The following year, she could be seen hoofing it up as a contestant on the astronomically popular ABC competition Dancing With the Stars. Now we see Vivica Back as the host of the Cougar!
