CHERYL LADD - LADD BECOMES AN ANGEL TO MENOPAUSAL WOMEN

Former CHARLIE'S ANGELS star CHERYL LADD has signed up to help middle-aged women across America face up to the menopause.

The ageing pin-up insists it's nothing for women to fear - and has become the spokesperson for talkingtoyourdoctor.com, a website dealing with women's health issues.

She says, "I'm in menopause and it's not like a curse. It's not the plague. And it's about damn time that somebody says it because 40 million women in America are in menopause.

"Are they supposed to be embarrassed or humiliated? Please, I've had enough of that."
