Cheri star Michelle Pfeiffer has admitted she dislikes the word "cougar" to describe women who date younger guys. Michelle, 51, stars in new film Cheri where she plays the role of an older woman who has a six-year affair with a younger man, played by Keira Knightley's boyfriend Rupert Friend.

Talking about the word "Cougar", she said: "I can't wait for that word to go out of fashion, I just think it's... I'm so over it. Not that I was ever really into it. "Where did that start, anyway? How did that evolve? Well, it's not really what the movie's about. But if it brings people into the theatre, I'm all for that." Michelle played the role of the Catwoman in the 1992 film Batman Returns and she admitted she would like to reprise the role but doesn't see it happening. She said: "Oh yeah, it would be really fun. I don't think that's going to happen. I think they like to get a new face for the different character, and I understand it. "But yeah, that was really fun. I had a good time."
