'Extreme Cougar Wives': Woman Met Her Husband Chaperoning A Junior High Dance (VIDEO)

'Extreme Cougar Wives': They Met When She Chaperoned Junior High Dance
|

When Kevin was 14-years-old, he met Jude at a junior high school dance. She was there as a chaperone -- her daughter was one of Kevin's classmates. Kevin is now 21-years-old and Jude is his 53-year-old wife. The TLC special "Extreme Cougar Wives" was there when the couple announced that they'd gotten married -- in a handfasting ceremony -- to Kevin's parents.

Understandably, they were stunned. Especially Kevin's mother, who is younger than Jude.

"No, Kevin. This is not normal. You know that this is not normal," Kevin's mother told him. "Why are you doing this to us?"

Kevin said, "We didn’t plan getting together. We didn’t calculate it. It just happened." Jude had been managing his music career, and during their time together the two began to develop feelings for one another.

So far, critical response to the show hasn't been that positive. Variety isn't even sure if they believe its authenticity, saying it felt staged, and wondering how the cameras were explained to participants like Kevin's parents.

Meanwhile, The New York Daily News wrote that the show "exists because TLC knows most viewers will find the whole idea creepy," despite professions of love by the featured couples.

In between her longtime role as the beloved Tammie Taylor on "Friday Night Lights" and her upcoming part on "Nashville," Connie Britton starred in Season 1 of Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story." But, Britton admitted to Starcam.com that she hasn't seen it, and not because she doesn't want to watch herself or the show. "I haven't watched it all back because I'm too scared. I'm just too scared ... and I really want to," Britton told Starcam.com. "I'm going to get somebody and literally make them sit down and watch it with me from start to finish so that I cannot be so scared. I'm such a baby!" (credit:Getty)

Adam Driver, the actor most improved character on "Girls," recently told Vulture that they generally filmed what creator and star Lena Dunham had written, but also tried some of his suggestions. But Driver doesn't know how many made it into the controversial HBO series. "I haven't watched the show. I saw the pilot, and I learned my lesson. I can't help but see the mistakes," Driver told Vulture. (credit:Getty)

Jimmie Walker starred as J. J. Evans in the iconic '70s sitcom "Good Times," and is perhaps best remembered for his catchphrase, "Dy-no-mite!" Walker stopped by "Today" to talk about his new book "Dyn-o-mite, Good Times, Bad Times, Our Times, a Memoir" and revealed that he never watched a single episode of his own hit show, "because I was always busy doing other stuff."

"I don't really ever watch myself ... I never watched an episode of 'Lost,'" Matthew Fox admitted during Newsweek's 2010 Emmys roundtable discussion. "Breaking Bad" Bryan Cranston brought the laughs when he replied: "It's a good show. You should see it some time." (credit:Getty)

As Jerry Springer celebrated the 20th season of his outrageous daytime self-titled program, the star opened up to the Associated Press about not being one of its devoted viewers. "I don't watch the show, but it's not aimed at 66-year-old men," Springer told the AP. "If I were in college, I would watch. I enjoy doing it. It's a lot of fun." (credit:Getty)
Naveen Andrews, "Lost"(06 of06)

Much like Matthew Fox, Naveen Andrews also didn't tune into the sci-fi ABC drama he starred on for six seasons. "I was very confused, just because I never saw this show," Andrews told "Daybreak" about how he felt at the end. "I saw the pilot ... but I never saw an episode of 'Lost.'" He went on to explain: "When the end came, I had people like Marilyn Manson, of all people, trying to convince me that they resolved it really well, it all made sense. I mean, he's a real fan ... He has Hurley's numbers tattooed into his arm." (credit:Getty)
