Admit it, you're curious: If the new millennium has brought anything, it's a generation of women who throw age conventions to the wind and date men of any (and all) ages.

And while celebrities like Demi Moore, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Sharon Stone may have helped officially introduce the word "cougar" into the English Oxford Dictionary (formally defined as "older women seeking a sexual relationship with younger men"), they aren't the only women in Hollywood who've gone much younger when picking their partners.

Below, a roundup of the most famous celebrity cougars:

The 52-year-old comedian talked about the near 20-year age different with boyfriend Randy Bick in an interview with Larry King. "Here's the thing, I don't want one iota of judgement from you because he's a little younger than I am," she told the talk show host. "I'm 52 and he's 33 ... He's a marketing executive, he's a normal guy. I met him at a food festival. The L.A. Times is putting out a food festival called Taste L.A., and I hunted him down.

Eva Longoria, 37, filed for divorce from NBA star Tony Parker (who is seven years her junior) in November 2010, after reports surfaced that he had been exchanging hundreds of text messages with a San Antonio Spurs teammate's wife. Since the split, Longoria has dated even younger men, including Penelope Cruz's brother Eduardo (10 years her junior) and Jets Quarterback Mark Sanchez (12 years her junior). In September 2012, the former "Desperate Housewives" actress confirmed that she was dating Sanchez to "Extra" host Mario Lopez, but the pair broke up soon after. (credit:AP )

Jennifer Lopez, 43, announced her split from husband of seven years, Marc Anthony, in July 2011. Rumors of a relationship with backup dancer Casper Smart -- who is 18 years younger than the former "Idol" judge -- first began swirling in November 2011 after he was spotted leaving her New York City hotel room. Lopez officially confirmed the relationship on "Good Morning America" in July 2012. Several months later, in an episode of Katie Couric's talk show "Katie," she said, "It's hard for me to think of my age...I feel very youthful. And I feel very comfortable in my own skin. And it's funny, until somebody brings up [the age difference], I don't think we really think about it." (credit:Getty Images)

Aubry and Berry never married, but they had a child together -- daughter Nahla -- who was born in March 2008. After breaking up in 2010, the ex-couple battled in court over custody of Nahla.

After divorcing first husband Sean Penn in 1989, Madonna, now 54, went on to date a slew of younger men, including model Tony Ward (five years her junior), Vanilla Ice (nine years her junior) and personal trainer Carlos Leon (eight years her junior). In October 2008, Madge split from second husband Guy Ritchie -- who is 10 years her junior -- amid reports that she had been cavorting with an even younger man: Yankees bad boy Alex Rodriguez (17 years her junior). After her divorce, Madonna dated Brazilian model Jesus Luz, who is a whopping 28 years younger than she is. For the past two years she has been dating yet another boy toy; this time it's 25-year-old dancer Brahim Zaibat, who is nearly 30 years younger than the 54-year-old pop icon. (credit:AP)
