Jenny McCarthy 'cougar scary'

Jenny McCarthy admits that she 'kind of molested' Justin Bieber at the AMAs.

The 40-year-old former Playboy Playmate presented him with the Best Pop or Rock Album award at the American Music Awards.

Jenny pinched Justin's buttocks after he picked up his trophy on the AMA stage.

The star says that this action will be as far as she goes with the newly single singer.

"I just got to neck Justin Bieber and grab his butt," Jenny recalled.

"It was a little cougar scary, but I took the opportunity and the window, considering I''ll never get to do it again, and kind of molested him."

Jenny feels for young stars.

She thinks that growing up in entertainment is brutal and has spoken previously about how much she admires Justin.

"I can''t even imagine starting in the industry as young as he has, and then to go through a public breakup so young [is tough]," Jenny said.

"I''ve had them in my thirties and I was still [upset] to have to do it in front of the media. I think he''s handling it good. He''s got a smile on his face and he''s moving forward, and that''s all he can do."
