Cool it with the word cougar, says Demi Moore, the 47-year-old wife of 31-year-old Ashton Kutcher.
"I'm certainly not the first person to be in a relationship with a younger man, but somehow I was plucked out as a bit of a poster girl," she says in the December issue of W. "I dont know why that is. But I just kind of step back sometimes and say, 'There is some reason, and what is it that I have to share in a positive way?...I'd prefer to be called a Puma."

Months after meeting, the couple wed in 2005. (Moore was 42; Kutcher was Kutcher, 27.)
"The most overwhelming part of meeting someone that you already felt you had such a deep and old connection with is that your feelings are greater than the time youve had to actually be with one another," Moore says. "Now we've had the physical time together. The love he has for me makes me a better person by giving me the courage to take risks. I can fail and have someone who loves me just the same. I never knew it was quite possible."

She says their life revolves around daily dinners with her three girls, Rumer, 21, Scout, 18, and Tallulah, 15 (dad is Bruce Willis) and family trips to Idaho, where they own a ranch.
Moore says she does not plan on taking Kutcher's last name, which long has been rumored. (W points out that "'Moore' is the legacy of her first marriage, from 1981 to 1983, to singer Freddy Moore.")
"As a married woman, I am and will always be Mrs. Kutcher," she says. "But I have my career as Demi Moore."

Despite looking younger than ever, Moore - who headlines two upcoming indie films, Happy Tears and The Joneses - also laments how her age is stifling her career.
"The frustrating part is that the type of roles I'd be interested in are not really coming to me," she says. "I hate to say it's a function of my age but yes, I think in some ways it is. The majority of [female] roles are geared between 25 and 35."

Helping her stay in touch with the current times? Twitter.
She now has 2.2 million Twitter fans. (Kutcher was the first person to reach 1 million followers. He now has 4 million.)
She tells W she loves the potential to create a "dialogue" between herself and fans.
"You post something and get your finger on the pulse," she says. "You know what people are interested in."

So much noise about the happy couple... as if it wasn't hard enough to find someone who loves you with all your good and bad stuff, I feel age here is not an issue, the issue is, can YOU find love and give love unconditionally, I vow to people that can commit to a relationship as I have serious commitment issues myself... Long live the ones that can commit, even for a year...report abuseposted November 19, 2009 4:01 AM PST

ImnotthereIamPumas are under 40; Cougars over 40. She's way too old to be a Puma. Ashton was in day care when she was already filming movies in her early 20s. Looking at it like that, that's pretty disgusting. By nature, single, childless men want a fertile, enthusiastic YOUNG woman; not someone with kids, divorces & who knows what kind of other baggage she's carrying around. 6report abuseposted November 18, 2009 10:08 PM PST

jobenaOld women young men, old men young women. Old women go for young men because they can still f8ck, young women go for old men because they have money. It's nothing new. it's been going on for years and years. Cougar or Puma who the hell cares, so get over it. As long as there are men and women %@!*# happens.report abuseposted November 9, 2009 8:18 PM PST

RitaDemi, I think you look great. I also hate the word Cougar because men have been dating women much younger than them for years and they don't get called any names so why when a woman does this she has to be singled out and called a man. It just don't make no sense. It's simply two people were attracted to each other in mind, body & soul and the age didn't mreport abuseposted November 9, 2009 7:35 PM PST
