Ugh.

More on that creepy - er, heart-warming! story about Doug Hutchison, the 51-year-old actor who married a 16-year-old. Turns out they were cyberin':,

I don't want to hear about his gushing. At all. The article notes that the girl's parents monitored the exchanges, and eventually gave consent for the marriage, thereby enshrining the father as the first person in the world who thinks it's okay if his underaged daughter is running off to Vegas with a man who's 35 years older.

Sixteen? Really? Really?

That's just terrible. Does it get better after 12 seconds? I bailed. As for Hutchison, this article notes he has other ambitions besides acting.

Not saying he's taken some flack for this move, aside from losing his manager and having his mother drop contact, but his website's gone.

FILE -- A rent deposit slot at an apartment complex in Tucker, Ga., on July 21, 2020.
