Jenny McCarthy on Donnie Wahlberg: “I feel like I deserve great and he’s great”


Jenny McCarthy has been dating New Kid on The Block’s Donnie Wahlberg for six months tops. She recently admitted that it took him two weeks to call her after she gave him her number. (She also assumed he was gay because he didn’t call her immediately.) The two met on Jenny’s show, and Donnie’s episode aired on March 29th. So that means that they’ve been together for half a year. The relationship is new and she should be playing it closer to the vest, is what I’m saying, not that I care much about her love life. Anyway Donnie seems to be into it. He went as Jenny’s plus one to a club hosting event in Vegas. Jenny gushed about him, but somehow she made it all about her.

Donnie Wahlberg has the right stuff for Jenny McCarthy.

“If every relationship leads you to the next person and it leads you to what you want and what you don’t want, I feel like I deserve great and he’s great,” The View cohost said Saturday while hosting a party at 1 OAK in Las Vegas.

The couple, who has been dating since early July, are still in the honeymoon phase.

“It’s new,” she said. “I took a year off [from dating] but I said if I meet someone who makes me stop that year off, it’s someone who I need to pay attention to.”

On Saturday, after McCarthy, 40, and Wahlberg, 44, took in the Boyz II Men concert at Mirage and dinner at Stack, they hit the club with several friends. In the club, the couple danced together, appeared blissfully happy, and seemed unaware of anyone else in the 16,000 square foot space.

At a VIP table above the deejay booth, McCarthy, donning a black long sleeved cocktail dress, sipped a few drinks and clung to her boyfriend and her sister. Aside from a reporter nearby, it was a rare moment of privacy for the best-selling author.

[From People]

I love People’s subtle shade there – Jenny “clung to her boyfriend” and enjoyed “a rare moment of privacy” at the Vegas event she was hosting for a nice chunk of change. There’s sarcasm in that story.

I did write that Donnie was into it, but I’m rethinking that now. The guy is wearing sunglasses in a dark club for God’s sake. I looked up some past event photos of Donnie and he’s worn sunglasses on the red carpet before. He doesn’t always wear shades, but he’s done it. That just screams douche to me, but he’s dating Jenny McCarthy. The douche part is kind of a given.

    The six-month mark it might be best to not say you deserve this greatness as it could be over by the nine-month mark. You say those kinds of things when a ring is on it or something more permanent like living together for several years.

    • V4Real says:

      Please she gushed about how great Jim Carrey was doing the honeymoon stage of their relationship and look how that turned out.
      That’s how a lot of us feel in a new relationship; we gush about how great this person is until it’s no longer so great.

      • Jayna says:

        LOL But most of us learn how embarrassing that can be and come back to bite you when he starts pulling away or treating you like sh t six months down the road and you end it or he ends it. And the next relationship you learn to only share your drunk-with-love/he’s-so-perfect euphoria with your closest of friends, not the whole office, all casual friends, or like her, the world, so soon. She’s 40 something and still hasn’t learned.

    • Stef Leppard says:

      That article says they’ve been dating since early July. So nearly three months, not six. I feel like she always overshares about her budding relationships (and then the guy gets scared off?)

      • Esmom says:

        Agreed. She did it with Brian Urlacher, even RELOCATING to Chicago with much fanfare, only to have it fall apart shortly thereafter.

  2. Applapoom says:

    She looks pretty when she doesn’t have her massive tata’s hanging out.

  3. bammer says:

    He was always my favorite New Kid. He’s a huge whore. I’m not sure why she’s gushing about him. He’s not good relationship material.

  4. brin says:

    If you substitute “douche” where it says “great”, it makes sense.

  5. Red32 says:

    Yeah, you deserve great, honey. BTW, thanks for the local mumps outbreak. It’s so much fun having practically eradicated diseases come back because some ignorant skank convinces people to destroy herd immunity.

    • OlyB says:

      My son has autism and whenever I am recommended her books I have that person describe what they think a virus is, how they think vaccines work and then have them Google “Jenny McCarthy Body Count”. If they continue to insist her views are medically relevant and scientifically sound, I make sure to delete the person’s contact information from my phone/FB and ignore all further social contact with them.

    • Esmom says:

      Seriously. Her ignorance isn’t just cringeworthy, it’s dangerous.

      • Sabrine says:

        She is now able to talk about vaccines on The View. Watch the re-emergence of dangerous diseases that were thought to be eradicated thanks to a nutcase like her. She should never have been given a position where she can influence millions of young mothers.

    • Kimble says:

      There is so much ignorance – Jaqueline Laurita called J McC as soon as she knew Nicolas had autism! WTF?

      This woman put the autism cause back years with her stupidity and now she’s putting EVERYONE’s kids at risk.

      Oh, and it turns out her “recovered” (I hate that word) son doesn’t even have autism!!!! Grrrrr!

  6. Sunnyjyl says:

    I adore her. Guess I will have to skip the articles about her, on this site, from now on. Sigh.

  7. ojulia123 says:

    I feel like I deserve good grammar and this is not good grammar.

  8. hadleyb says:

    She would look so much better if she toned down the makup, ditched the too big tits and accepted she is aging .. she looks great for her age ( yes I know she has had work but still ) but she is trying to still look 25.

    I don’t follow the guy too much but I happened to see him on WWHL and he seemed non douchey, maybe it’s more he looks like a douche than actually is?

    I mean he’s not the best looking dude so maybe he’s insecure?

  9. Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

    Who on here can all name the NKOTB without looking it up.

  10. chops 13 says:

    he’s known to be a man whore
    I think a truer statement would read ‘I feel like I deserve great in bed… he is great in bed’
    man whore’s usually are honey… you’re dickmatized

  11. Hautie says:

    I have said it once before.

    Run! Donnie! Run!

    Or you are going to end up broke and bitter.

  12. GeeMoney says:

    I’m happy that she’s happy (although I’m slightly jealous b/c Donnie was my favorite New Kid on the Block), but do we have to hear about their relationship every five minutes? Damn.

  13. Ag says:

    No, you don’t deserve “great”, Jenny. You’re a moron and a public health threat. You definitely don’t deserve “great”.

  14. ALJsMom says:

    Her knees are ugly

  15. Bananapants says:

    She looks trashy. It’s not a good look for her. Tone it down. For a while there, I guess the Jim Carrey years, she looked age appropriate and incredible, but then came the fillers and new tits and extensions and clothes from the Juniors department at Macy’s or whatever. No thanks.

  16. Cazzee says:

    She’s 40?

    I guess time moves differently for celebrities….

  17. Arock says:

    I feel like I deserve relevant gossip and she is not relevant.

  18. Yelly says:

    Ugh he’s too good for her.

  19. MsLib says:

    Love Donnie on Blue Bloods!

  20. Christina says:

    Donnie Wahlberg is not a douche. He wears sunglasses often, more because he rarely sleeps and has tired eyes. I have met him several times. He is down to earth & treats his fans really well. As for him being a manwhore…I think that is exaggeration. They seem happy together. Good for them. Donnie gives a lot to his fans, works constantly…he deserves some personal happiness.

    • bettyrose says:

      I don’t know anything about him, but my eyes are very light sensitive and if you only knew me from pics you might thinkI alalways wear sunglasses.

      • Green Girl says:

        I’d also imagine that big events mean that you’ll see an awful lot of camera flashes. My eyes were dazzled at the last wedding I attended, so I can only imagine it’s about 1000X brighter for a celebrity event. I don’t blame him for wearing shades!

  21. Hannah says:

    She’s only 40?

  22. Feebee says:

    I’m glad he’s “great” for her cos he’s decidedly average on Blue Bloods. Though not totally his fault, his character sucks.

    She needs to start transitioning away from the “in my 20s” look because it’s been glaringly obvious for a while that she’s not.

  23. Isa says:

    Anyone seen her blue e cigs commercial? I think it’s Busy Phillps every time.

  24. A says:

    Aww, she looks better than ever! I love when she covers up and goes for a “cool” look. They seem good for each other :).

  25. joan says:

    I actually don’t hate them.

    My theory: Celeb couples work best when they’re at the same level, not so much in looks as amount of fame/celebrity/
    talent.

    Like Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin. They seem matched.

    Goldie & Kurt, too.

  26. madchen says:

    If this were Crazy Days and Nights, the real Count Jerkula would have posted some choice tidbits about her appearance. She’s not aging well. One more pull up on that face and she’ll have a goatee.

  27. A Fan says:

    What the heck, good for them.

    However, her face is a plastic nightmare.

  28. Denise says:

    She needs to use a light hand on the blush as much as she needs to lighten up on the autism crap. Never trust a woman with rust-coloured blush that shimmers.

  29. pc says:

    she is starting to look like kate pierson – just needs red hair.

  30. black_heart says:

    I wish there was a like button on the comments section because some of you are downright HILARIOUS! And I say that without any of my usual sarcastic bitchiness.

  31. Rebecca says:

    The botoxy forehead makes me scared. So slick and shiny.

  32. taxi says:

    I wonder if she has vagi-groomed. According to one site, she had the hairiest hoo-hah ever seen at Playboy when they did her shoot.

    And yes, her views on vaccines & anything related to autism are beyond ignorant.
