Sandra Bullock Divorce Update: Jesse James Seeks Professional Help

LOS ANGELES (CBS/AP) As the usual swarm of unnamed sources claim that Sandra Bullock has decided to file for divorce, Jesse James is reportedly seeking professional help to deal with "personal issues" after a cheating scandal put his nearly five-year marriage to the Oscar-winning actress on the line.

James' representative told People magazine in a statement Tuesday that James "realized that this time was crucial to help himself, help his family and help save his marriage."

The type of treatment facility is unknown.

Bullock was on a career high that culminated with an Oscar win for "The Blind Side" just before Internet rumors of James' infidelity surfaced.

The two walked hand-in-hand down the Oscars' red carpet, celebrated together at the parties afterward and were photographed outside a Long Beach burger joint the day after the awards.

A call placed to James' representative after business hours Tuesday was not immediately returned.
