Courtney Stodden & Doug turn down ensemble reality show, they want their own


Radar Online has an exclusive that 17 year-old precocious bride Courtney Stodden and her 51 year-old husband, Doug Hutchison, have turned down a spot on a VH1 show called “Relationship Rehab.” It’s a similar d-list famewhore version of “Celebrity Rehab,” probably because they realized they needed a spin off for all the people Dr. Drew was diagnosing as “love addicts.” A source tells Radar that they considered it, but it “wasn’t a perfect fit for the kind of show they wanted to do.” Read: it wasn’t enough money, and the show wasn’t focused solely on them and whatever warped story they wanted to tell involving lucite glitter stripper heels, uncomfortably explicit alliterative sexual innuendos, and statutory rape.

Courtney, 17, and her 51-year-old husband Doug Hutchison were offered a spot on Relationship Rehab, a show being produced by Celebrity Rehab’s John Irwin. It will follow couples living together in a Los Angeles home who would get counseling by world renowned therapists and participate in therapeutic activities and planned events.

“Though Doug and Courtney considered the offer, in the end they felt that this wasn’t a perfect fit for the kind of show they wanted to do,” a source told RadarOnline.com.

“There has been a lot of speculation about their marriage and a lot of people are just waiting for the inevitable ‘train wreck’ to happen, but Doug and Courtney have an incredibly strong relationship and seem very happy together,” the source said.

“So doing a show about going into ‘rehab’ just doesn’t make sense for them.”

RadarOnline.com has learned that Courtney and Doug were offered between $150,000 and $200,000 to appear on the eight-episode series that would have been filmed over three weeks. “By turning down Relationship Rehab Doug and Courtney walked away from a nice chuck of change,” the insider said.

Courtney’s mom-ager Krista Stodden told RadarOnline.com why the famed couple made the decision to turn down the show. “Doug and Courtney are faced with an array of career opportunities and offers each and every day. I’m impressed by their ability to stay true to their convictions and stand behind any decision to respectfully pass on projects that they may feel are not completely right for them.”

These two and Courtney’s creepy ass momager have their eyes on the prize. They probably think they can have a reality career like the Kardashians along with a whole media empire. In their minds, $150k is chump change and will damage the “classy,” “beautiful,” “old Hollywood” brand they’re trying to project. It takes some real delusional famehos to get here, but they’re not going to take it to the next level. They’re Salahis, not Kardashians. Courtney is going to fall on her fat-lipped face. Probably literally, given how small her stripper heels are for her feet.

    That face haunts me.

  2. Jules says:

    The only ensemble show I could see her on is Jackass, but that would be too good for her.

  3. brin says:

    “True to their convictions”? LMAO….I think she meant convicts.

  4. Kelly says:

    I still can’t believe she walks around like that. She’s worse than Shauna Sands (“Empress of Lucite” – Michael K.), and I didn’t think that was possible.

    How about a show about a closeted middle-aged gay man (not that there’s anything wrong with that…) and his teenage iguana bride (also credit Michael K.). It can show how he dresses her up like Porn Barbie, and how he wears a little housemaid’s outfit at home as he cleans up her coffee beans and foundation-stained makeup sponges.

  5. Nicole says:

    God, why doesn’t she just do the porn movie that she looks like she just walked out of? Even Pamela Anderson started out as a bit player on Home Improvement.

  6. flourpot says:

    I’m fairly sure that snake is embedded in her arm which is why we never see her without it.

    Gross.

  7. Sway says:

    His hands are just gross.

  8. Booboocita says:

    Boy oh boy, they just get more and more bizarre, don’t they? I’m beginning to think they will get their reality show eventually. It won’t last more than a few episodes, but people will tune in at first just for the freak show, then when that gets old, walk away. And when the ratings tank and the show is cancelled, these two will just wander off into some twisted, warped “reality” of their own, in which an agent’s secretary telling them that he/she isn’t in to take their calls is evidence that he/she’s busy working hard to line up opportunities for them, and the odd photographer snapping them from a distance becomes hordes of papparazzi. I’m seriously beginning to pity them.

  9. Eve says:

    The only thing I can think of whenever I see this guy is when his character (Percy) gets his ass kicked in The Green Mile.

    • Cathy says:

      I was trying to figure out which character he played in that movie. LOL They’re both idiots.

      • buckley says:

        I remember him as uber creepy Eugene on the xfiles.
        I think that was him anyway.
        why in the world would you wear a gown ,however budget, to the grove??

  10. Arock says:

    Any idea on where they were going in that get up?

    • Happymom says:

      They’re at the Grove-upscale shopping center in LA.

      • gg says:

        In a thrift-store prom dress and “matching” purse. When she turns around you can see her entire black bra with the now-yellowed straps.

      • arock says:

        but why? why? in that? (i mean, i know why, but in that?)
        theres a button in her head that is only slightly depressed- she gets the concept of needy attention whore only enough garner the attention, not the execution.

  11. Anastasia says:

    He’s soooooooooooooooooo gay.

  12. Happymom says:

    Every time I see a picture of her I want to let her mother have it. What is wrong with her that she would pimp her teenager out like this and say the disgusting things that she does? Even if he is gay, and it’s all an elaborate hoax to get on a show-it’s just so vile.

  13. colt says:

    They don’t need Relationship Rehab, their love is rill.

    • curegirl0421 says:

      Ha! It’s sad that every time I’ve had cause to assure someone that something is, in fact, in existence in the past few months… I’ve mentally heard “rill” instead of “real.” It’s frightening.

      I need some kind of rehab myself – I am in equal parts repulsed and fascinated by these two. I feel it’s in large part due to the hypno-toad like mouth and body twitching by the Iguana Princess.

      PLEASE MAKE IT STOP.

    • sandra says:

      LOL – good one!!

  14. Hautie says:

    Why is he always dresses as a 19 year old wanna be gangster?

    And oddly enough, I don’t think he is playing for the home team. He is an odd fellow… but he seems to like feeling up his bride a little too much.

    • Kelly says:

      I find his wardrobe to be absolutely ridiculous as well. In that photoshoot on the beach (the one with the white bikini with the ridiculous padding and the fake-tanning FAIL), he was wearing a baggy t-shirt with the sleeves cut off. That look is for middle-aged dudes who (wrongly) believe that it makes their fat upper arms look “buff.” You all know what I mean…

  15. lem says:

    in the 3rd picture at the bottom, she looks like she is skeeved out by him. her smile looks so forced. i feel like even she isn’t uncomfortable with this but doesn’t have the power or know-how to say no. its such a sad situation for her. her parents and this man should be locked up for what they have done to her.

    • judyjudy says:

      I agree. She’s all talk but when he makes any kind of move she pulls away. Seriously, someone needs to help this girl.

  16. Madisyn says:

    “17 year old PRECOCIOUS bride”?

    Precocious? This ‘girl’ says such provocative things that it makes even ME blush. And I’ve been around the block a couple, OK several times.

  17. bagladey says:

    While I don’t “get” them at all, they are both still so pathetic. I saw the video of this outing and she kept opening the lower front of the dress and hoisting it up to expose her legs as she walked. I don’t know if he’s gay, because he’s so sloppy, but he sure gives off a gay vibe.

    • Mitch Buchanan Rocks says:

      If the dude was gay I’m quite certain he wouldn’t dress this sloppily, he’d be more well put together. The gals “mother” should be arrested for allowing this to happen to her daughter.

  18. Crystalline says:

    So stupid, they could’ve easily used an ensemble spot to get that show focused on them. VH1 loves to do that, so they pretty much shot themselves in the foot.

  19. hi says:

    courtney is a star. maybe she wont b angelina but she could b anna nicole famous. i hope she doesnt have that guys baby. give her a break, cause u have to start somewhere.

    • gg says:

      Oh, please – nobody should start in the gutter of sleaze. This is just nasty and she appears to be on drugs. He won’t let go of her or she’ll fall down. I feel very sorry for her – she has nooo idea how bad she looks. But it’s because she is a child and this is all wrong.

    • fabgrrl says:

      Well, sure you have to start somewhere. How about signing up with a modeling agency like other pretty teenage girls do? Go to auditions. Make demos. Get a *professional* manager who knows what s/he is doing. This girl was in a Miss Teen Wherever competition, right? THAT is a start right there.

      • Fandancer says:

        Actually, even creepier, she and her mother declared her “Miss Ocean Shores”. (small town in Washington she’s from) The town doesn’t have a pageant, there was no competition….she is self-crowned.

  20. theaPie says:

    There’s church girl, incapable of walking without hiking up her skirt to show off the goods. That broken hair on her crown is kinda scary. 0_o

    For the record, I think she has rill big boobs and stuffs as well. That dress makes it all pretty obvious.

    • Lindy says:

      Yeah, I noticed all that broken hair yesterday. I think she’s about one more dye-job away from a chemical haircut. Can you imagine the wigs she’ll buy?

      I don’t even know what to say anymore about these two. I’m pretty sure that they are a sign of the end times. (And I think I’m only about 50% kidding).

  21. Denise says:

    I am freaking hypnotized by these two…what in the hell….no, just, no. Hey CB on an unrelated note, how about some more posts on Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney?

  22. Hellen says:

    These are the first photos in which I actually believe she COULD be 17 years old. It’s something about her expressions when she is not posing and does NOT have her mouth open like a sex-doll: it’s almost a kind of vulnerability.

    I’m also beginning to feel really sorry for her. Can’t hate on someone who seems so truly dumb. And I will always maintain she is not the one writing those disgusting tweets – bet it’s her mom.

  23. gab says:

    Geeze, where are these two going to find a kiddie place to bump, grind and kiss after the holidays? First the pumpkin patch now Santa’s house…. what’s next? Seems to me their attention seeking ways haven’t landed them the big pay day yet. Guess they’ll have to KK it and have him pee on her and sell the video.

  24. fabgrrl says:

    ..Doug and Courtney have an incredibly strong relationship…

    Uh, haven’t they only been married like 3-4 months? And they *certainly* didn’t have a relationship before they were married. No, sir! Not with her “strong, Christian morals” (plus the fact that it would have been illegal!)

    Leaking the story about turning down the show is an attempt to demonstrate how in demand they are. But “Relationship Rehab”? For a newly married couple? Obviously the show’s creators are scraping the bottom of the barrel if they extended the offer to these two. You don’t brag when you turn down sh*t. It only makes people realize that you are being offered sh*t.

  25. maggie grace says:

    I’m a 51 yo woman, and the thought of having a sexual relationship with a 17 year old boy makes my stomach heave.

  26. EBitch says:

    Someone should buy that kid some braces. Her husband, perhaps?

    • AMY says:

      LOL..That is too funny!! Good call, she needs to fix those teeth. Instead of buying stocks in Wet n’ Wild Makeup, she should save his money and find a good dentist.

  27. sandra says:

    Yeah that’s what we need on TV. More trash. Cripes.

  28. Rachel says:

    Just think how much padding, clear bra straps, stripper shoes and arm bands you could get for $200k… especially when the rest of your clothes come from the bargain bin at the local Goodwill. How could they turn that down?!

  29. BW says:

    I find it amazing that even with his sunglasses ON, he looks like he’s had work done on his eyes.

  30. iseepinkelefants says:

    Scrolling down and seeing that Fake Lively pic, Courtney looks like a busted version of Lively. Ahaha.

  31. Me says:

    LMAO! Doug looks funny in the first pic with his feet clicked together like that. 😀

  32. hairwig says:

    I loath these new type of moms who live thru their kids: Jenner, Dina Lohan, Gossling, toddler and tiaras moms who put their daugters in skimpy outfits and now this Stodden momager. They relagate their husbands to the back burner and sell their kids innocence. it’s nothing new but they just do it in a shamelessly aggressive way. My mom didn’t want any of her daughters to wear mini nor make-up until we turn 18 (we actually didnt care. i start wearing make-up late in my 20’s and only wear moisturiser)and was always on our back to read books, to think smart, discuss a bit of socilogy. Our dad will leave us the newspaper to read and every weekend we will discuss the topic du jour (In the 80’s, when I was barely 12 it was Liban, Iran/Irak war, Afghanistan/Russia).. we were not even allowed poster of my celebrity crush on the wall(george michael, circa Wham!!). They didnt wanted us to adore or idolise anyone. It help immensely: healthy self-esteem, happy ego, no one(bf, husband..) nor our work define any of us.i’m sorry but i do feel bad for this Courtney. She’s a muppet at the hands of her parents and husband. For a guy to marry a 17-year old girl who barely lived and a mom who just sees dollars sign on her daughters boobs and us criticising a kid, all this make me shiver.

    • Kelly says:

      You gave me a FANTASTIC concept for a reality show! A news commentary show hosted by Courtney. It would be RILLY awesome – she could be the next Glenn Beck! But with stripper heels and padded bra. Just give her a blackboard and let her go. Courtney talks tax cuts! Courtney talks Iran! Imagine the possibilities. On the conflict in Syria: “They should just LOVE themselves because they are beautiful butterflies.” (insert pornface)

    • Moonbeamz says:

      …And yet your spelling is atrocious ?

    they look like they are going 2 different places him to hang out with buds at a seedy bar and her to hang out with strippers at a seedy club
