Michelle Pfeiffer and Rupert Friend star in a steamy new movie that will be released in June called Cheri.

The movie is an adaptation of the 1920s novel by French author Colette about the lingering effects of a romance between a middle-aged woman and a wealthy young man. Sounds a lot like The Reader.

Colette set her book in 1920s Paris, where the young son of a wealthy courtesan is educated in the ways of love by a middle-aged friend of the man’s mother. When he is forced to give up the six-year relationship after marrying someone else, the young man can’t forget her and retreats into a fantasy world.

The film’s website says:

It is turn of the century in Belle Epoque Paris and a scandalous romp is underfoot. The sensational tale begins as the ravishing Lea (Michelle Pfeiffer) contemplates retirement from her renowned stature as Paris’s most envied seductress to the rich and famous. Her plans are cut short when she is approached by a former courtesan and arch rival, the barb-throwing gossip Charlotte Peloux (Kathy Bates), who encourages Lea to teach her disaffected 19 year-old son – a bon vivant nicknamed "Cheri" (Rupert Friend) – a thing or two about women. The resulting escapades involve power struggles over sex, money, age and society – and, unexpectedly, love itself – as a boy who refuses to grow up collides with a woman who realizes she cannot stay young forever.

Hollywood has cougar mania.

With a new movie coming out, Michelle Pfeiffer is making the rounds, submitting to interviews, sharing beauty secrets, telling the usual tales of being an ugly duckling as a child.

Though we doubt she was actually awkward or unattractive, the story the Mirror is reporting about the snarky teachers sounds like it could be true.

"I was a real tomboy.

"My teacher used to write on my report card ‘Michelle is one of the biggest girls in class’.

"All I wanted to be was to be one of a petite little girls but my mother always cut my hair in a pixies and there was nothing feminine about me."

We’re not sure what the pixie haircut has to do with being petite, but can’t you just imagine the teachers who would write such a thing about darling young Michelle?

Wouldn’t you just love to see them now? Ha!

We’ve talked about it before, but it bears repeating: Madonna is morphing into a modern-day, gym-obsessed Medusa, in an apparently desperate attempt to resist aging.

She’s famous. She has a ton of money. Can’t she ring up Michelle Pfeiffer for advice? Or even Deborah Norville? They’re both about her age, but somehow only Madonna is veering off into scary, zombie lady territory.

Sure, Michelle’s secret might involve witchcraft and Jack Nicholson, but we’re sure it’s a price any star would be willing to pay.
