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 (she was in the running for Miss Teen Washington USA last year), 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."

51 year old living in a flat on his own fanices a 16 year old = Paedophile
51 year old marries a 16 year old = accepted (maybe)

[DemonGeminiX]

The age of consent in Washington state (where she's from) and in Nevada (where they got married) is 16. It's also 16 in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, and West Virginia.

He'll get arrested everywhere else in the country.

:-k

Hang on a sec... that's Tooms!

Hmm, how much does a 16 yr old know exactly? It might be legal in places, like Scotland for example, but its practicaly unheard of here, for obvious reasons I think, and this age gap wi her at 16 just doesnae fit right wi me..[-(

That was a cool episode. But it does go to show that the dude has a history of playing creepy guys.

Yes, but most of the Age of Consent laws are also qualified with a maximum age difference clause, so I think this relationship would be illegal in every state.

That said, because they are legally married and her family has consented to the wedding, I believe that renders the age of consent laws a moot point.

I was making a long-winded joke.

Eugene Victor Tooms

Eugene Victor Tooms was a genetic mutant serial killer who was capable of squeezing his body through narrow gaps; his unique muscle and bone structures allowed for extreme elongation and contortion of his body. He also had an incredibly low metabolic rate, allowing him to slip into hibernation periods lasting thirty years at a time. Between these periods of hibernation, Tooms would feed on human livers; usually five livers were consumed by murdering random citizens and removing the organ from each victim with his bare hands. Tooms would typically hibernate at the same location, in a nest made of newspaper strips glued together with his own bile.

He could squeeze into any small space and he ate people.

Nah, I don't have to put him on ignore, I just skip over his posts.

The best episodes were the ones that had absolutely nothing to do with aliens, except for Jose Chung's From Outer Space. That episode was hilarious.

Maybe you could then and put the result in your sig ;)

I don't need a sig.

something about this doesn't seem right...

Ya... like she's a stupid hormone filled child in an adult's body, generally incapable of making adult decisions.

Her parents must be miserable

Over/under on how long it lasts? 364 days is the line...

These would be waaaay before her time anyway! She would have missed out on creepy hubby Tooms!

[DemonGeminiX]

Well, if nothing else, she got what she wanted: A shitload of attention. And I bet you that's exactly why she did it too. She's an aspiring music star that nobody's ever heard of before... they heard of her now. Controversy catapulted her into the spotlight.

If you go to her website and look at her pictures, she looks like she's 35. And I mean a used up 35.

Expect them to be in the headlines later.

Can That 51-Year-Old Green Mile Actor Legally Marry a 16-Year-Old Girl?!

How is it legal for that creepy 51-year-old actor to marry a 16-year-old? Can he get arrested if they go to a state that has a different age of consent?
—Loiseem, via the inbox

You speak of Doug Hutchison. He may or may not be a creepster in real life, but he's played one on TV! (He was sanctimonious Dharma flunky Horace Goodspeed on Lost.) His bride is singer Courtney Stodden, who says she is (a) 16 (b) a good, Christian girl (c) all natural and (d) yes, really, married to That Guy. She also (e) looks 30 in bikini shots but (f) apparently really is 16, if her entry in a 2010 teen beauty pageant is any indication. So has Hutchison tied the knot with jailbait? Here's what I can tell you:

In most states, the "age of majority" — as in, the age when minors become grownups — is 18. A few states are even stricter and withhold the age of majority until 19 or even 21. Kids in many states can legally grow up before that, if they, say, graduate from high school at an earlier age — or get permission from mommy and daddy.

A spokeswoman for the couple didn't immediately reply to my requests for comment. But at least one key person has spoken out in favor of the marriage, and that's Stodden's mom.

"They are very much in love and we are so supportive of this," Krista Stodden told Radar.

Krista Stodden also said she signed a legal consent form allowing her daughter to marry Hutchison before the two tied the knot in Las Vegas last month. That documentation is important, because that's the only thing making this marriage legal.

"If there was a valid parental consent, then they're now legally married in every way," confirms Joe Langlois, family law specialist and partner at the law firm Nachshin and Langlois. "There are no magic words involved, just, essentially, ‘I, the parent, give consent'."

And, by law, every other state must honor that marriage, Langlois tells me.

One possible snag: It's not clear whether the bride's father is still in the picture at all. If he is, and he has any sort of legal custody of his daughter, and he didn't sign his own consent form, the marriage may not, technically, be legal, Langlois tells me.

"In most cases there are two parents who share joint legal custody," Langlois notes. "If both parents did not give consent, you might be able to nullify that marriage."

Oh, but come on. Given everything I've told you about this pair, what could possibly go wrong?

[MrsM]

She does not look 16 and this is a little Creepy:huh:

[DemonGeminiX]

Congratulations, kiddo. Your 15 minutes has started.
