"Cougar" in town?

The subtitle of the Jennifer Coolidge profile in the Boston Herald trots out the cougar label. We heard that Coolidge (known for portraying “Stifler’s mom” in the juvenile “American Pie” movie) was doing standup.

She cracks us up when she’s on the screen. She doesn’t even have to speak. So her standup just might be enjoyable.

“When you’re an actress in Hollywood, you’re literally sitting waiting for that phone to ring,” she said. “But when you’re doing stand-up it’s in your own hands.”

She’s got that part right.
