More "Other Women" for Jesse James?
Reports of her husband's alleged infidelity have shattered the happy image of America's sweetheart, Sandra Bullock. But could things actually be getting worse for the Academy award-winning star?

David Caplan, senior editor of People magazine, said on "The Early Show" reports are surfacing of additional women claiming to have had romantic involvement with Bullock's husband, Jesse James.
Those reports, "Early Show" co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez noted, have brought on comparisons to Tiger Woods, who cheated with several women on wife Elin Nordegren.

Caplan says James is being implicated in other affairs by "many women" who are coming to media outlets to try to sell their stories of dating him -- including a blonde tattooed woman from Huntington Beach, Calif. Caplan says she's claiming she had a relationship with Bullock's husband from 2006 to 2009.
"That sort of is the other shoe to drop that people are waiting for," he said.
Bullock and James were married in 2005.
Bullock, Caplan said, is devastated by these new claims.
He said, "She's left Los Angeles. Right now, she's really trying -- a friend tells People that she's just really grieving (about) all this information and trying to process it, because it came such as a surprise to her. She didn't know of any of these allegations and she's really in shock right now."
However, Caplan refuted reports that Bullock has consulted a divorce lawyer. He said right now she's just opting to lay low.
Bullock is concerned about her stepchildren, Caplan said.
"She was like a mother to them," he said. "And they really miss her, and the friends are telling us on both sides, actually, Jesse's side, as well, they really miss Sandra."
Rodriguez added that it seems that, no matter what happens, Bullock will likely stay in touch with her stepchildren.
Caplan agreed, saying, "There's an amazing bond. We saw that in the past few months and years. Sandra is somebody who has typically been very private about her life. We've seen her being photographed taking the kids to school, spending time at parks and stuff. There definitely is a bond.
"We spoke with a lawyer who said, in the case of getting sort of custody or something if they do split, it's very difficult for a step-parent to do, because you have to get consent from both parents. But there are no divorce filings yet. She's really trying to process it."
As for the first alleged "other woman," the heavily-tattooed Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, Caplan said a friend of McGee's told People magazine that McGee told several friends and her ex-husband that she and James were dating while he was married to Bullock.

I would like to know what tattoos have to do with his character traits???
If tattoos were "normal", wouldn't EVERYONE have one or more?

I believe that if they "took a poll", most people would agree that it takes a certain type of person, one with, shall we say, a higher degree of rebelliousness, to cover themselves with tattoos. Jesse James is one of those types. A single tattoo that expresses something the individual admires is one thing, but when they go to the extreme of completely covering their arms, chests and backs, they're kind of begging to be looked at as someone different.
Hopefully, well-bred TV watchers will NOT tune in.
Sandra has NOT said she is 'NOT divorcing Jesse'-she is just 'lying low' right now. I am sure--being the smart person she seems to be-she will NOT be married to this God-forsaken idiot for as long as it takes to finalize a divorce in her 'permanant resident state'. Also, those children are NOT Sandra's biological children-they are her 'stepchildren'. Sandra has never had children of her own.
Surprising she hasn't contracted an STD yet from this big pile of dirt. Hopefully she has been tested in the past week!! On the other hand, she did know who is first wife was (a porn star)-I think that would have kept me far away; there ARE plenty of other fish in the sea, especially for a well-known Hollywood personality! Hopefully Sandra will find happiness with someone else. I do wish her lots of luck!
BTW - I was in Sandra's position years ago and it took me about thirty seconds to launch the loser. Self esteem in tact, my life has never been better. His life on the other hand, basically imploded. What a train wreck!
Good luck "Vanilla Gorilla". Hope it was all worth it.
I feel bad for Ms. Bullock, but she did marry a tattoed sideshow freak after all.
Maybe Jesse can help run the Tea Party with Palin. That seems a logical choice in as much as where this story is going......
I do hope she shows some strength and self confidence. This "Stand By Your Man" crap is getting real old....
