Publicity Stunt? 51 yo unfamous actor weds 16 yo girl
 

Prepare to shudder, people. A 51-year-old character actor who appeared in "The Green Mile" and had recurring roles on "Lost" (as Horace Goodspeed), "24" and "The X-Files" has gotten hitched to a 16-year-old.

Yep, 16.
E! News reports Doug Hutchison married "aspiring country singer" and "former beauty pageant queen" Courtney Alexis Stodden on May 20 in Las Vegas (minors can marry in Sin City with the permission of a parent or legal guardian).

"We're aware that our vast age difference is extremely controversial," the newlyweds said in a statement. "But we're very much in love and want to get the message out there that true love can be ageless."

If she's really 16, what grown adult gets emotionally and physically fulfilled by a child? :mad:

If this is a publicity stunt, FAIL FAIL FAIL.

Ewwwwwww.

She looks like a tramp...and the comment on the second page about her being in a picture wearing an american flag and not much else...hmm.

..and her parents gave consent because????

... I feel physically awkward. He always creeped me out on Lost

He's rich and people are insane?

At least they LOOK the same age :p

that blonde person in the photo is supposed to be 16? good grief! she looks more like 26.

Because there are trailerpark trash people who have mildly attractive kids they hope will become famous and buy them a big house :rolleyes: I mean she looks anorexic, like she got her moves from Jersey Shore, and was allowed to date someone over 3 times her age. What is left for her at this point? Ugh, I am so over these trashy people getting any hopes of air time.

Of course let's not get on this nasty, pervy freak who can't find a woman anywhere near his own age to date. Apparently some juvenile moron is the only person who would dare do him.

She doesn't even look close to 16 - and I don't mean that in a good way! At 16, most girls are pretty anyway, and I don't think any 16 year old should ever have to wear that much make-up or dress like that!! It's soo gross!

Meh, not any different than the Eastern European 14 year olds who are in Vogue looking 30. Except that's high fashion gross, and this is trailer trash gross.

I think she'd be looking for a meal ticket more than air time. Also, I don't believe she is 16.

Yuck.

Would any sex they had still legally be considered statutory rape?

The publicity stunt is her pretending to be 16. Her website says she competed in the Miss USA pageant in 2009. It did NOT say Miss Teen USA. She's also quite obviously had breast implants. There are also photos of her promoting her CD outside of what appears to be a strip club.
No way she's 16.

You beat me to it.

Update: I just googled other pictures of her.

If she's 16, then I'm 18.

Wow, this is unnecessarily harsh and classist. CG2, ity?

Okay...this is a good time to ask why do a lot of (usually white) people say "trailer trash?"

I always found that to be classist and also implying that anything that's not white perfection must be "trailer trash."
