I remember him in 'The Green Mile'. He's a real wussy.

You're right. It seems like his career may need a jump-start, too.

Sorry, this is right up there with child molesting, just because she is 16, and it is legal, does not make it right. Personally, I think any man who is with a girl that young, has a self esteem issue, he can't deal with a relationship with a woman closer to his own age, he wants the power differential to be with him in the relationship. Not unlike the relationship with Woody Allen, and his young wife. Not impressed.

she does not look 16 and from her pics she doesnt exactly look like a blushing bride either. the girl has been around. i give it about 5 yrs when she turns 21 and realizes she wants to party, and he is in his mid 50's for goodness sake. what can these 2 possibly have in common?

well she got all the publicity she wanted with her budding "music" career. i just went to her website and every page has her singing loudly and not very well. but any publicity is good publicity. someone will decide it's a good money maker for 15 minutes, she will get an offical recording contract and then in a about 2 years we wont remember her at all.

And no one would be complaining, if she were intimate with a guy who was say 16-17 years old, either If it's legal and no laws have been broken, what's the problem?

The hypocrisy is stunning...as one poster said earlier I believe, ppl as far back as 100 years ago, had no problem with older marrying younger (again within legal limits, of course) If you're gonna be so strict about it, why not just make her a virgin already, and forbid her from physically being anyone at all, until she's 18+? At least the guy married her, right...?

Ppl who cry the loudest about guys 20-25 or thereabouts being with 18 y/o gals, tend to be hypocrites IMO, cuz they're getting fresh physically with the said age range themselves, when they're that age. They just seem to have a problem about it, when they are themselves parents. Talk about double-standards...
