It appears that publicly humiliating & shaming his now ex-wife Sandra Bullock with his infidelity wasn’t enough for “Monster Garage” star Jesse James.

In a recent appearance on Piers Morgan Tonight, James grinds the knife in Sandra’s back even more by bashing Bullock’s bedroom skills and excusing himself from cheating by playing the “millions of men do it” card.

“I never shied away from anything I did,” James said. “I took full responsibility. I cheated on my wife. Guess what? So do millions of other men.”

“People assumed I was a d**k because I didn’t defend myself,” he continued. “I went in to rehab thinking, all these people in this place? They are really f**ked up. I figured out pretty fast I was the f**ked up one. I realized I was addicted to anger. And it was going to be up to me to straighten my s–t out.”

James also talked about how he felt like he didn’t fit in with the “Hollywood crowd” and how much he loves Kat Von D for accepting him as the douche bag that he really is.

On his feelings about the Hollywood crowd:
“I’d just talk to them about NPR, did you hear Diane Rehm today? I tried to fit into that mold. I look back at who I was then and I want to punch myself in the face. She (Sandra) said that same speech at four different awards shows.

“I don’t know how I survived in there as long as I did, I just can’t hang with them. It’s just pretend, it’s not real. It’s more about myself and where I belong in this world.”

On Kat Von D reaching out to him:
“Back when I was listening every day to some new person say what a f–kup I was, I hit the wall. I had a day where I was literally wondering how much more of this I could take. And one person reached out. Guess who that was? Everyone else thought I was toxic. The fact that Kat is willing to be with me now? And get demonized in the tabloids for it? God, I really love her”.

Jesse James is currently on a promotional tour for his autobiography “American Outlaw,” in which he reveals candid details about his marriage to Sandra Bullock and the infidelity that caused their divorce.

Talk about TMI……

Yesterday on his radio show, Howard Stern asked famed womanizer Jesse James who’s “more fun” in bed, James’ wronged ex-wife, Sandra Bullock, or his new fiancée Kat Von D.

To which James responded:

“That one’s an easy no-brainer”.

“Kat Von D?” asked Stern.

“Yes, sir. One hundred percent. She’s a vixen, man,” said James.

Further adding,

“If she cheated on me, I would forgive her and still love her.”

OUCH! Talk about a shot to the ego! Wonder how Sandra’s going to feel once she catches wind of her ex-hubby’s comments.

Who said Hollywood doesn’t have a heart?

According to published reports, Oscar award-winning actress Sandra Bullock and Disney star Demi Lovato have both donated $1 million to help contribute to Japanese disaster relief efforts.

Sandra made her donation through the American Red Cross. The Red Cross reports that this was the largest celebrity donation to date, although the charity may have received larger contributions that were kept confidential at the donors’ request.

Reports also state that Demi Lovato also donated $1 million the Japanese relief efforts. Lovato was recently seen holding a Japanese flag with the words ‘Please Help’ and has also asked her fans to donate to the disaster relief.

Help Japan!

Sandra Bullock stepped out in a long red gown Sunday night (Feb 27) on the red carpet of the 2011 Oscars. Bullock was on hand to present the Oscar Award for Best Actor, which ultimately went to Colin Firth for his role in “The King’s Speech.”

Just a few days after last year’s Oscars, Bullock (who won her first Oscar for her role in “The Blind Side”) was involved in a media frenzy surrounding the infidelity of her then husband Jesse James. But now, a year later, Sandra is looking at things positively.

“It’s made me a better person,” she said about her new role as a mom while speaking with NBC’s Maria Menounos during the Oscar pre-show. “I’m more patient and accommodating. I really appreciate where I am.”

Check out a few pics of Sandra Bullock arriving at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards below!!

Everyone was pretty shocked when Jesse James and Kat Von D announced their engagement. Everyone but Sandra Bullock, that is.

A source tells our friends over at Pop Eater that out of respect for Bullock, Jesse James (her ex-husband) informed the actress of his plans to remarry about a week prior to telling the rest of the world.

Via Pop Eater:

Sources close to Sandy tell PopEater that she was given a heads up that this would come out this week and that while she isn’t exactly jumping for joy, she has accepted that Jesse is moving on with his life with Kat. Sandra’s biggest priority right now is her adopted son, Louis, and she isn’t planning to let anything get her off course from being the best mom she can be.

“It may seem like only yesterday that Jesse and Sandra split, but for her, life has changed so much that it seems like ages ago,” our source tells us.

While Sandra and Jesse aren’t exactly close friends, they do have ways to keep information flowing between the two of them, and our source says that Jesse knew he needed to let Sandra know that things between him and Kat were serious. “Sandra knew it was coming, and she was ready,” our source says.

Well that was pretty nice of the guy, don’t ya think?

Thoughts?

Sandra Bullock, who we has been looking a bit gloomy lately, was seen leaving her SoHo apartment in New York City holding her son Louis on Thursday (Jan 20).

The 46-year-old actress initiated adoption of the child four years ago when she was still married and went through with it even after her divorce, which was finalized in June 2010, making her a single parent.

More pics of Sandy and Louie below!

A very sad looking Sandra Bullock was photographed arriving in New York City on Monday (Jan 17) night, right when the predicted snow storm had began.

We’ve noticed Sandra hasn’t been looking too cheerful lately. Did anyone catch her presenting an award at the Golden Globes on Sunday? We can definitely tell something’s wrong. :(

Feel better, Sandra!

Check out the pics below!

Despite having a very rocky year with her husband Jesse James and his cheating scandal, actress Sandra Bullock has still managed to snag the title as the highest paid actress in Hollywood!

According to Forbes Magazine, Bullock pulled in a whopping $56 million between June 2009-June 2010. The big bucks came from the roles she played in box office hits “The Proposal” and “The Blind Side.”

Behind Sandra…came tagging along Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz both making $32 million. Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker followed them with $27 and $25 million respectively.

Actress Sandra Bullock apparently wants out of the new “Be the One” Gulf Coast PSA. The clip, released last week, shows Bullock and other famous faces including Lenny Kravitz, Peyton Manning, John Goodman and more, encouraging people to sign a petition demanding that government leaders take immediate action to preserve and restore the Gulf Coast’s wetlands in the wake of the massive BP oil spill.

The video was put together by the New Orleans based Women of the Storm group who is alleged to have ties with America’s Wetland Foundation, which has taken money from various oil companies including BP. So Bullock’s publicist Cheryl Maisel released a statement on behalf of the Oscar winning actress Thursday (Jul 29) asking for her participation in the PSA to be removed until she finds out whether or not oil companies influenced it.

“Ms. Bullock was originally contacted through her attorney to be a part of the PSA in order to promote awareness of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. At no time was she made aware that any organization, oil company or otherwise had influence over Women of the Storm or its message. We have immediately asked for [Bullock's] participation in the PSA be removed until the facts be determined.”

The statement followed a report from the website DeSmogBlog who called the “Be the One” campaign a front for oil companies to get support for drilling and taxpayer money to repair the damage caused by the oil spill.

However, the founder of Women of the Storm, Anne Milling, says that her group did work with the Wetland Foundation, but they only provided experts and information and she says the video was NOT funded by oil companies. At this point she only hopes that Sandra will at least hear them out and once she does, she hopes the actress will change her mind. She told E! News:

“I was shocked and of course very disappointed,. However, I do believe that once Ms. Bullock hears and listens to the facts and understands that Women of the Storm has had no connection or taken money from oil companies, I think that will allay her fears and I believe she will rejoin our video because she really believes in coastal restoration. She is committed to that.”

Milling says that despite Sandra’s objection to the PSA at the moment, the other celebrities already on board have been sent notes and they all still want to be a part of the group’s mission.

No way Jose!

Actress Sandra Bullock may be tolerant of her ex-hubby Jesse James moving to Texas where she stays, but she has no intentions what-so-ever of taking him back. According to a source, the only reason Bullock is approving the move is so that she can keep her close relationship with his kids.

“The only reason that Sandy gave the green light to Jesse move to Austin was because she wants to maintain a relationship with his children. Sandy loves those children but she has absolutely no intention of getting back together with Jesse, ever.”

Jesse on the other hand has more intentions than for the kids sake…..and hopes for reconciliation. But according to the source, knows that will happen on a cold day in hell!

“Sandy is civil to Jesse for the sake of the children, that is it. If there were no children, Sandy would have nothing to do with him, period. And he knows that.”

How sweet of Sandra……that’s nice she cares enough about the kids to deal with that perv!

Actress Sandra Bullock and others want you to “be the one” to help restore the Gulf Coast!

In a brand new public service announcement, Bullock is joined by the likes of stars such as Lenny Kravitz, Peyton Manning, and Dave Matthews to encourage everyone out there to sign a petition demanding that leaders take the necessary action needed to preserve and restore the Gulf Coast in the wake of the recent oil spill disaster.

Check out the clip below:

Sandra Bullock and Jesse James were officially divorced as of this past Monday (Jun 25) and now several media outlets are releasing details of the divorce agreement revealing a few changes in the final documents.

According to the documents, Sandra will remain co-parent to James’ three children: Sunny (6), Jesse Jr. (12) and Chandler (15) and she was listed as a single parent to baby Louis while James retains full legal custody of his three kids. Even though both Sandra and Jesse began the adoption process for Louis together, the new divorce filings cite that “there is no child of the marriage” so they listed her as the 3 and a half year-old child’s sole guardian.

As for all property and assets, the ex couple have agreed to sale and split any property that they purchased together.

In most cases, Sandra Bullock would be asked to pay spousal support, but Jesse James has declined to take any support/alimony from her. Overall, this divorce was a pretty simple breakup and peaceful.

The marriage between Sandra Bullock and Jesse James is officially a wrap!

The now ex husband and wife pair have reportedly both signed off on the last bit of paperwork to finalize their public divorce, which has been plagued with a bunch of “mistress” drama over the past few months. The signed papers, which described the marriage as “insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities,” were submitted to the clerk’s office in Travis County, Texas and Sandra leaves the marriage with full rights to do a single parent adoption of baby Louise from New Orleans.

In the days following her receiving her first Oscar, Sandra found out her husband had been creeping with seven other women when the first mistress Michelle “Bombshell” McGee came forward with her story.

Sandra and Jesse tied the knot in July 2005.

It’s definitely sad to see another Hollyweird marriage crash and burn, but at the same time, this divorce almost had to happen (with the circumstances and all). We wish Jesse James and Sandra Bullock the best in living the single life though.

Do you think Sandra will ever get married again?

Actress Sandra Bullock appeared as a surprise guest and hit the stage to play the guitar last night in front over over 15,000 people (Tues. Jun 22) at the “Nashville Rising: A Benefit for Flood Recovery” concert at Bridgestone Arena in Tennessee.

The event, hosted by Faith Hill and her husband Tim McGraw, was held to help provide relief aid for flood victims and also featured performances from Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, LeAnn Rimes, Miley Cyrus and more. Nashville native Reese Witherspoon even checked in via a video greeting because she couldn’t make it there in person.

“I’m going to bring the house down,” Bullock, 45, declared to the sell-out crowd of more than 15,000 people as she swung an acoustic guitar over her shoulder. “And I’m going to do it Nashville style!” First telling the audience, “If I could have some quiet, please,” Bullock slowly, and awkwardly, picked out the opening notes to “Smoke On the Water.”

“I can’t play for crap!” she eventually deduced before introducing Faith Hill, who joked, “Sign that girl right away.”

PEOPLE

All jokes aside, when all was said and done, the concert raised over $2 million for flood victims.

Celebrities hit the Gibson Amphitheater at Universal Studios Sunday night (Jun 6) in Universal City, California to attend the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, hosted by actor/comedian Aziz Ansari.

What is going on with all of this guy on guy, girl on girl kissing action going on these days??

First we reported on teen actress/singer Miley Cyrus pretending to kiss one of her female dancers on stage during her performance on UK television show “Britain’s Got Talent.” Then it was the not so delightful kiss between actors Dustin Hoffman and Jason Bateman during the Lakers/Celtics game Thursday (Jun 3). And this time around it involves a name we’ve been hearing a lot about lately… actress Sandra Bullock! After receiving the “Generation Award” at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards last night (Sun. Jun 6), Sandra puckered it up with actress Scarlett Johansson. The kiss came as a surprise to everyone!

Bullock also spoke on the recent controversy going on in her life during the show.

“Can we please go back to normal? Because therapy is really expensive. Go back to making fun of me, I don’t care, its time to get back to normal.”

In case you missed it, catch the video footage below:

Actress Sandra Bullock has had enough and her friends say that she plans on leaving Hollywood for good! And we’re not just talking about the city. Our friends over at Pop Eater have ALL the details:

Sandra Bullock has been through more than anyone can imagine over the past few months, so it’s no wonder she’s planning a major change. The Oscar-winning actress is packing up and leaving the drama-filled city of Los Angeles in order to get away from her soon-to-be ex-husband Jesse James and the wreckage he brought forth with his infidelity.

First Sandra Bullock leaves her man, and now she’s leaving Hollywood for good. “Sandra hates the fakeness of Hollywood and doesn’t want to raise her little boy in that environment,” a friend of the actress tells me. But it’s not just Los Angeles that Sandra wants to escape. She also wants to get away from Jesse and all the women that he cheated on her with in the “City of Angels.”

“The whole place is so toxic for her that she just wants to get away and start over. Jesse’s businesses are in LA and the thought of what went on inside that building makes Sandra sick. Plus, Jesse’s tattooed mistress, Bombshell McGee, is in Los Angeles trying to capitalize on her 15 minutes of fame. It’s best for Sandra to sell her house and get away from these people.”

The couple decided to keep the news to themselves until after the Oscars. “I did not want him brought into a world that would not have been too sincere to him as I wanted. I wanted to be alone with him as long as I could then we had to tell his story,” she said, MSNBC reports.

Unfortunately, just days after Bullock took home her trophy, James’ many affairs came to light. The actress says she is now adopting as a single parent and is divorcing her husband, according to PEOPLE. ”Yes, I have filed for divorce,” she told the magazine, adding that she is “sad and scared” about it.

Oscar winning actress Sandra Bullock has been keeping a very low profile ever since news of her estranged husband’s sex scandal broke about a month ago. And she was spotted for the first time since Jesse James‘ infidelity was made public as she went on a hike in Northern California …and there was no wedding right in sight, so we all know what that means.

Now we’re getting word that she’s preparing to fight back after months of suffering embarrassment after discovering that her husband Jesse was cheating. A source close to the Academy Award winner spoke to our friends at PopEater.com:

After disappearing since her husband’s sex scandal broke last month, Sandra Bullock is finally ready to face the world and her husband Jesse James again. ”She needed time away to sort everything out by herself,” a friend tells me. “Now, she is ready to stop hiding and start fighting back.”

Sandra, who has been seen hiking in Northern California without her wedding ring and looking somber, is expected to file for divorce later this week. ”It’s over between Sandra and Jessie. For a while, it looked like she was going to forgive him but not now,” a friend tells me. “But way too much has happened and after spending time alone, Sandra has realized that she deserves better. It’s not going to be easy but she’s an amazingly strong lady. Don’t worry, she will survive.”

Meanwhile, Pop Eater also says that Sandra will be giving her first interview since the scandal to her good friend George Lopez this November on his late night talk show “Lopez Tonight.”

“I think George is a great friend of hers and he’s been very supportive in her time of need. Like any BFF, she’s going to be there for him and she knows she can trust him to not talk or ask about anything awkward,” explains Bonnie Fuller, editor-in-chief of HollywoodLife.com.

The very beautiful Jennifer Love Hewitt recently spent some time on Ryan Seacrest‘s KIIS FM radio show yesterday and commented on the current situations that Sandra Bullock and Tiger Woods‘ wife Elin Nordegren are experiencing after discovering that their husbands have been unfaithful. Jennifer told Ryan Seacrest that she could relate because she has been cheated on “a lot.” She also went on to say this:

“It’s brutal,” she said during Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS FM radio show Tuesday. “Once I found out on television, and that was awesome. And then another time I found them together … and that was, woooo! “That was not good,” she said, adding that she learned of other infidelities because she “had a feeling” and then “found phone stuff.”

Read on to see what Jennifer said about her past relationship with Jamie Kennedy:

“We are sort of opposites — I am sort of this gushy hopeless romantic, and he is sort of this realist,” she said. “So, he really taught me how to look at the reality of things like love, whereas I had my head in the clouds before. He very much taught me some things and he taught me a lot about men and what they think.”

SOURCE

Woh. We expected her to naturally take the side of fellow actress Sandra Bullock and Elin Nordegren, but we didn’t expect Ms. Love Hewett to admit that she’s been cheated on so many times. She also said that she is a “hopeless romantic.” Hmmm…. something tells us that she is LYING to some degree…

The drama surrounding Sandra Bullock and Jesse James‘ relationship continues to get worse and worse. RadarOnline.com is reporting that there is indeed a sex tape starring Jesse James and quite possibly his wife, Sandra Bullock.

The tapes Jesse made with other women are shocking. “Most of the tapes feature a mass amount of Nazi paraphernalia,” an insider tells RadarOnline.com. “It’s all really quite disturbing.” A source who saw one of the tapes spoke to RadarOnline.com on the condition of anonymity and gave a partial description. “What I saw was a naked woman on her knees and Jesse in a Nazi hat waving his arm in a salute,” the insider said. “It looked like the woman’s hands were bound.

“He was shouting and singing and appearing to swig from a bottle of bourbon every now and then.” RadarOnlne.com has learned that none of the sex tapes are up for sale but that they are also not in a completely secure location. “They could end up being made public just like the photo of Jesse giving the Nazi salute,” the insider said. “There’s no doubt some of these tapes could leak and end up on the Internet.”

And since the release of this juicy bit of info, the suddenly always silent Sandra Bullock has quickly addressed the chatter about the possibility of a sex tape between herself and her estranged husband:

“There is no sex tape,” she says in a statement to PEOPLE on Tuesday. “There never has been one and there never will be one.”

We hope that she is telling the truth. If this video does actually exist, you can best believe that it will eventually leak. And that won’t look too good for her good-girl image…

We all know that the ladies on ABC‘s hit morning show The View tend to make some off the wall comments, but this one definitely caught us off guard and surprised the crap out of us. The ladies were discussing the ongoing situation between actress Sandra Bullock and her cheating husband, Jesse James and Whoopi Goldberg took it upon herself to go against the opinions stated by her fellow show hosts and said that she had cheated a couple of times on her ex-husband:

“It’s nobody’s fault. Maybe he was looking for something different…

“Hey, listen, I did it five or six times … Yes, I screwed around. Yes, while I was married. I made those mistakes too, yeah. It happens sometimes. It happens,” Goldberg said. “Maybe he was trying to find something different too.”

Wow. We think that there are quite a few people who would agree with Whoopi, but we are more so shocked by the fact that Whoopi and her …umm, how do we put this…. “not-so-attractive” self was able to find someone who would pipe her down behind her husband’s back.

Simply fascinating, wouldn’t you agree??

Check out the video below…

There has been all kinds of chatter about the Sandra Bullock and Jesse James‘ relationship since news broke that the couple was on the rocks after Sandra discovered that Jesse was cheating. What’s even worse is that he was caught cheating with some scally-wag tattoo infested stripper.

But will the Bullock and James get a divorce? Sources say that a divorce is definitely on the table right now. A friend of the couple had this to say:

“Barring a miracle, it’s over. The trust has gone and without that it will be impossible to remain married. It is not just the cheating but who he cheated with that Sandra cannot believe. After several bad relationships Sandra believed she had found her prince charming, but it turns out he was just another frog!”

POP EATER

It looks like another Hollywood couple bites the dust. Word is Sandra has over $100 million to her name, and if no prenup was signed before she and her soon-to-be ex-husband got married, he could walk away with at least half of that!

Actress/comedienne Mo’Nique was honored last night with the Oscar award for “Best Supporting Actress” at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards! As many critics (and the media alike) predicted, the actress turned late night TV talk show host won the prestigious award for her role as “Mary Jones” in the hit movie “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire.”

Backstage at the Oscars, Mo’Nique had this to say:

“The reason why I have on this royal blue dress is because it’s the color that Hattie McDaniel wore in 1940 when she accepted her Oscar. The reason why I have this gardenia in my hair, it is the flower that Hattie McDaniel wore when she accepted her Oscar. So for you, Miss Hattie McDaniel, I feel you all over me,” Mo’Nique said.

Mo’Nique made history with her win as she is the first stand up comedienne to win an Oscar. She also added to history as the fifth black actress to win an Academy Award. Those who went before her were Hattie McDaniel, Whoopi Goldberg, Halle Berry and Jennifer Hudson.

And speaking of historics, Geoffrey Fletcher, who won the Oscar for “Best Adapted Screenplay” for his role as the screenwriter for Precious, was the first African American screenwriter to win a gold statue, so congratulations are definitely in order for both he and Mo’Nique. Neither actress Gabourey Sidibe, who played the lead role in the movie, nor director Lee Daniels won in their respective categories. “Best Director” went to Kathryn Bigelow and “Best Actress” went to Sandra Bullock.

Check out a few pics of Mo’Nique, Geoffrey Fletcher, Sandra Bullock and Kathryn Bigelow with their brand new prized possessions below… And continue reading to watch, Mo, Geoff and Sandra’s acceptance speeches!
