Sandra Bullock Marriage on Rocks?

By: CBSNews

Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock's marriage is apparently in trouble.

People magazine reports that, just eight days after taking home the Oscar for her hit movie, "The Blind Side," Bullock moved out of the Los Angeles home she shared with her husband of five years, reality TV star Jesse James.

Bullock and James -- who looked like a very close and happy couple at the awards ceremony -- were married in July 2005.

But In Touch magazine reports that, while Bullock was filming "Blind Side" in Atlanta, James was having an affair with tattoo model Michelle "Bombshell" McGee in L.A.

McGee, a mother of two, told In Touch, "I would never have hooked up with him if I thought he was a married man. He gave me the impression they were separated."

She even claimed to have a pet name for James - "Vanilla Gorilla" - because of his physical gifts.

On Wednesday, Bullock pulled out of the London "Blind Side" premiere, saying in a statement, "Due to unforeseen personal reasons, a trip abroad to support "The Blind Side" has been deemed impossible at this time."

Bullock and James have been involved in a long custody battle with James' ex-wife, former porn star Janine Lindemulder.

If the supposed split becomes permanent, Bullock would join a long list of actresses struck by what's called the "Oscar curse" -- relationships that have broken up shortly after winning Best Actress honors.

Among them: Hilary Swank, Halle Berry, Reese Witherspoon, Julia Roberts and Kate Winslet.

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder then why is this person commenting on their looks. Which one is it. I find people that cheat or participate in it ugly. It is disheartening when I hear of this happening.; Reply to this comment

Sandy has never been someone to attract attention for her personal life and I feel sorry that the media thinks this is an issue that needs to be aired to the world. Hasn't anyone learned from the past media blitz over Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and the last blitz over Tiger Woods? We don't need to know people's private personal life story. Give her some room to go through whatever she needs to go through. I know she will land on her feet as she isn't someone who enjoys drama and we've never known about any of her other relationships/breakups.

Indeed, what is it about men that makes them the cause of most of the world's problems, in general: starting wars, crime (95% of criminals are male, just look at the prisons), business greed, etc. No wonder the feminists are having a field day . . .; Reply to this comment

Is this a surprise? The guy has a kid with a porn star, is covered in tatts, works in a motorcycle shop, and is named "Jesse James." Could there be any more red flags? The guy is a total fool. She was his meal ticket for life.
