51-Year-Old Green Mile Actor Marrying 16-Year-Old Beauty Pageant Winner

I am shocked and mortified to hear this story on the morning radio show this morning.  They said they posted the picture on their twitter account and Facebook but I didn’t see them so naturally I had to go find the story on the internet and I found it on the website Cele|bitchy.

Here is a quote from that article which is a quote from Popeater:

Hollywood has seen its fair share of odd couplings, but this one is so out there even the newlyweds know it’s a little weird.

Doug Hutchison, a character actor best known for roles in The Green Mile, Lost and The X-Files, married aspiring country singer Courtney Alexis Stodden on May 20 in Las Vegas.

He is 51. She is 16.

Is there something fishy about it? In an exclusive statement to E! News, the couple insists there’s not.

With Stodden, a former beauty pageant queen, trying to position herself as a potential Nashville star, you might think there’s more to the story than middle-age actor marrying pretty teenager (and that’s a lot of story, itself). However, the newlyweds tell us they’re just mad about each other.

“We’re aware that our vast age difference is extremely controversial,” the couple said through their spokeswoman.

“But we’re very much in love and want to get the message out there that true love can be ageless.”

I just find the whole thing mortifying.  Not just his creepiness in that picture but the huge age difference.  I mean, I really don’t have any room to talk because we have 21 years age difference.  Darrin was 44 when we met and I was 23.  I can say that love is ageless in our case because we’ve been together for 17 years so maybe it’s true for them too.  But come on, she’s still a child, beauty queen or not.

The wedding picture (above) makes him look so creepy, or maybe that’s the osteoporosis setting in early, who knows for sure.  Either way, he looks like a troll.  Where is Chris Hansen when you need him anyway?  Shouldn’t he be making a trip to Las Vegas to visit this guy and say “what are you doing here?  Do you realize she’s 16?  Would you like some sweet tea?”  Fortunately for him the legal age of consent in Nevada is 16 and you can marry with her father’s blessing.

I wonder though, does she ride her bike to school or did he get her a car for her wedding present?  Is she still in high school or does he home school her now?  I got questions here lol.

Oh and while I was still listening to the story on the radio there was a caller who said he was Christopher Walken.  He was pretty good but he went a little overboard with the impersonation though lol.

Too Much Reality

It all started in the 1990’s with the Real World on MTV.  Then I think Big Brother came out in 2000 or somewhere along those lines.  Then survivor and those shows are OK because they are more like a game.  But now you can’t change the channel without seeing a reality show.

It’s not a game anymore.  Some shows are games but mostly it’s the life of someone I don’t even know.  There is Keeping up with the Kardashian’s.  The father of all these kids except for Bruce Jenner’s kids, is the lawyer from the OJ case.  I really don’t want to see these brats you know?  Then there are the bounty hunter and his messed up family, then there are the family’s who repossess cars and exterminate bugs and rats and snakes.  Come on.

Ok, I realize that without all these reality shows we wouldn’t have 1000 channels to choose from.  I don’t exactly have 1000 channels to choose from because the cable package I have gives me like 200 channels but still.  I wanna see some acting and I wanna see some struggling actors getting their fair share you know?  There are so many actors who are starving who their agents can’t find them work because there aren’t enough shows or movies for their particular look.  I think that these channels should at least do a reality show with the starving actors and actresses.

Every time I change the channel it’s a reality show on either A&E or Bravo or E! or whatever.  There are some channels where you never see reality shows like Sci-Fi (except for their who wants to be a super hero but that is a game show) and Comedy Central (except for Drawn together but that’s a cartoon about a reality show lol funny stuff).  Or TNT and TBS, I never hear about reality shows there, all they have are movies and reruns of TV shows except they also have their own sitcoms and dramas.

Oh, and what happened to MTV and VH1?  They are all reality and no MUSIC!  What’s up with that?  Come on MTV and VH1, show me some music TV.  If you want MTV2 and VH1-2 to have reality fine, but your first channel should still play music dammit.
