Sandra Bullock Marriage Trouble: Jesse James Cheating

Sandra Bullock’s marriage looks set to follow Hollywood tradition and die a premature death with news that her husband Jesse James has been cheating.

The news broke when Michelle “Bombshell” McGee (seriously, we’re not making this up) spoke out about her affair with Jesse James (yeah, we’re laughing at the names here as well) to In Touch.

According to self described “busty tattoo and fetish model” McGee, James first contacted her via MySpace, which naturally led to an 11 month affair, and (again, we’re not making this up) “5 weeks of sex.” Note we don’t know if that was the sum total for the 11 months, or 5 weeks straight, but why the hell would you offer such details to a gossip mag in the first place!

McGee also claims that James told him that he had separated from Bullock, something that she later discovered was false when Bullock thanked him in her Oscars acceptance speech.

To add insult to injury: the affair took place while Bullock was on location filming The Blind Side, the movie she won the Oscar for.

The latest is that Bullock has cancelled promotional gigs for the film to return home to confront James about the allegations.



Pics: Shia LeBeouf GQ spread, Shia talks about his hand injury

Actor Shia LeBeouf posed for a series of pictures in this month’s GQ, garnering a slightly more favorable reaction than fellow subject Rielle Hunter’s pics where she poses pantsless with Dora, Barney and Elmo.

The spread features LeBeouf in several settings inspired by his role in the upcoming Wall Street sequel. Of his horrific hand injury, Shia says:

“I’d be watching the news, and they’d play my car crash, and every once in a while Kim Kardashian’s sister would jump on TV and preach to me from the red carpet about how to live my fucking life. And I’m so upset, man. I’m so angry. Because this accident was not caused by me. I got hit. I had a green. This fucker ran a red light. And he flipped my truck, and he shoveled it on my hand. And my fingers are in the street… they’re off, they’re under the truck door, man. This is fake, dude,” he says, lifting his newly reconstructed hand. “This is hip bone and the skin that was left over…”

LeBeouf also admits to having picked up a trading habit:

“I trade in my boxers now. I’m up early for the markets. I’m real-time all day long.” He loves the game and the thrill and the nerves of the market; and the market, it seems, loves him right back. As of the morning of our lunch, Shia says his online Schwab Active Trading account had grown to close to $450,000.
In addition to the pics below, you can see more of Shia’s GQ spread here.



Kristen Stewart Ready to Work With Mother


Kristen Stewart is “excited” about making a movie with her mother.

The ‘Runaways’ actress has reservations about working with her mother Jules Mann-Stewart on new drama ‘K-11’ but thinks it will be a “cool” project when it is finally given the go ahead.

She said, “She’s a really well-known script supervisor and she’s co-written this drama ‘K-11’, which she’ll direct and I will be in. If she called me right now and said, ‘We’re making the movie,’ I would be really excited. I guess my question is, ‘How would it be to work with a parent?’ We’re really close and then, at the same time, we’re creatively very different. But, I think it would be cool if it happens.”

Kristen is best known for her role as Bella Swan in the ‘Twilight’ movies, in which she stars opposite her boyfriend Robert Pattinson who plays vampire Edward Cullen.

The franchise, based on the best-selling books by Stephenie Meyer, has been a worldwide success, with millions of devoted fans, but although the actress can understand their passion she has never been “obsessed” by anything.

She added to Parade.com, “I’ve never been so fanatical about something. I never had that thing that I’m obsessed with. But, I’ve followed things for years like bands and movies and actors. I completely get what they’re feeling. Personally, it’s just so cool for me to be able to go back and follow a character for so long in successive movies. The fact that fans love them helps give me the chance.”



Shia LaBeouf Praises Girlfriend Carey Mulligan


Shia LaBeouf thinks his girlfriend is the “most talented” actress he has ever met.

The ‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps’ star is cautious to speak about new lover Carey Mulligan, who he stars with in the financial drama sequel, but is astonished by her professional ability.

He said, “I never really had anything in my life that was off-limits but with this, just out of respect, I just don’t want to f**k around.

“She’s an unbelievably thought-provoking actress, the most talented actress I’ve ever met in my life, by leaps and bounds.

“Neither one of us are fame whores. It works out. It’s not like we’re the premiere couple; we’re not the red carpet king and queen.”

While he is staying quiet about his personal life, Shia was much more forthcoming about his car accident in July 2008, for which he was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) but never charged, admitting he is still “angry” about the crash, which resulted in his left hand being permanently damaged.

He added to America’s GQ magazine, “I’d be watching the news, and they’d play my car crash, and every once in a while Kim Kardashian’s sister would jump on TV and preach to me from the red carpet about how to live my f***ing life.

“And I’m so upset, man. I’m so angry. Because this accident was not caused by me. I got hit. I had a green. This f***er ran a red light. And he flipped my truck, and he shovelled it on my hand. And my fingers are in the street… they’re off, they’re under the truck door, man.

“This is fake, dude. This is hip bone and the skin that was left over…”



Danica McKellar to be a mom

Danica McKellar, who you may know as Winnie Cooper from “The Wonder Years,” is expecting her first child this fall.

McKellar, 35, appeared in a string of made-for-TV movies in the 90s before making waves in Mathematics for her books Math Doesn’t Suck and Kiss My Math, penned for girls in middle school with the hope of encouraging them in the traditionally male-friendly academic discipline. McKellar later returned to acting, appearing in movies on Lifetime and in some assorted television roles.

McKellar’s baby daddy is composer husband Mike Verta. The two met in 2001 and tied the knot in 2009. The actress is approaching the end of her first trimester, and has a new book called Hot X: Algebra Exposed coming out in the summer. She tells People that a deadline for the upcoming book initially made her reticent to confirm the pregnancy:

“When you do take the home pregnancy test, it doesn’t quite seem real,” notes the mathematician and mom-to-be. “But when you see the baby and the heartbeat on the ultrasound, it’s so incredible.”

“Me and Mike looked at each other and we could not stop the tears,” she says. “We are so happy.”



Simon Cowell’s Life Improved By Dog


Simon Cowell claims the worst day of his life was only improved when his dog licked his face.

The music mogul loves animals so much he is now throwing his considerable weight behind a new campaign by the World Society for Protection of Animals charity, called ‘Animals Matter to Me’.

Speaking about his dark day, Simon said, “Waiting up for me was my pet dog, and he jumped up, licked my face, was happy to see me and everything was happy again.

“The World Society for Protection of Animals struck a chord with me, as it’s a global charity that recognizes the needs of animals around the world.”

Although he is backing the campaign, Simon doesn’t presently own any pets, because his work as a judge on shows such as ‘The X Factor’ and ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ in the UK and ‘American Idol’ mean he doesn’t have the time to care for them properly.

He added, “When I was growing up, we had pets, and I was taught early on that you have to respect animals. I don’t have pets now, simply because I travel too much to take on the responsibility. But owning pets has had an immensely positive impact on my life and I think animals deserve our protection.”

The multi-millionaire star has previously given money to several animal charities, secretly donating $165,000-a-year to an animal shelter run by ‘Exorcist’ actress Linda Blair in California.

He also donated most of the 179 mirrors he received for his 50th birthday last year to be auctioned to raise money for the Battersea Dogs Home in London.

Britney Spears Split From Jason Trawick


Britney Spears has split from her boyfriend Jason Trawick.

The ‘3’ singer reportedly ended her romance with the talent agent at the end of February following a year-long romance because they had been arguing constantly.

A source said, “They were fighting a lot and have not been getting along. They both just needed to take a break from each other. It wasn’t working out.”

Despite their split, Jason, 38, will still represent Britney through the New York-based entertainment agency, William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, where he works.

This isn’t the first time the pair have seemingly split.

The 28-year-old pop beauty dumped Jason in January after learning he had been flirting with two women at Los Angeles’ Roger Room bar before getting back together.

Britney, who has two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline, and agent Jason started dating in March 2009. They split briefly in August, but soon reconciled.

Since their romance began, Jason has proposed to Britney several times.



Kate Winslet Supported By Leonardo DiCaprio


Kate Winslet is being supported through her marriage break-up by Leonardo DiCaprio.

The actress turned to her ‘Titanic’ co-star when problems started to surface in her relationship with director Sam Mendes as the trio worked together on 2008 movie ‘Revolutionary Road’ and she is said to be relying on his support to get through this difficult time.

A source told The Sun newspaper, “Leonardo and Kate have been like brother and sister since they starred in ‘Titanic’ together.

“And since Kate’s marriage problems started, around the time they were filming ‘Revolutionary Road’, they’ve got closer again. Kate feels like she can tell Leonardo anything.

“They were thrust into stardom together and were the only people who knew what the other was going through. He’s been a rock for her.”

While Kate, who is currently holidaying in Mexico with her two children, six-year-old son Joe and Mia, her nine-year-old daughter from her marriage to Jim Threapleton, has a close friendship with Leonardo, Sam’s bond with actress Rebecca Hall, 27, was reportedly the cause of many of their rows.

The director first met Rebecca in 2006 on the set of movie ‘Starter For 10’ – who he acted as executive producer on – and worked on two theatre productions, ‘A Winter’s Tale’ and ‘The Cherry Orchard’, in New York and London as part of his Bridge Project theatre company last summer.

A source said, “Sam is a huge admirer of Rebecca’s work. He really worked well with her. There’s no suggestion of anything untoward but undoubtedly the friendship didn’t help mend their struggling relationship.”

It has also been claimed the end of their six-year marriage came about after a row over conflicting work schedules, with 44-year-old Sam lined up to direct the new James Bond film in London and Kate, 34, planning to star in a US TV comedy show.

The source told the Daily Mirror newspaper, “Sam raised several questions over whether she should be doing it, insisting she was above a TV script and it wouldn’t progress her career. Not surprisingly, Kate went ballistic.”

Kate and Sam, who married in May 2003, announced their split on Monday, March 15, but friends claim they have been living apart for several months.

Lindsay Lohan’s father has suffered a minor heart attack.

Michael Lohan was rushed to St. Francis Hospital in New York yesterday afternoon, March 16, after complaining of feeling unwell.

His journalist girlfriend Kate Major has since confirmed he suffered a heart attack.

She said, “He was short of breath all day. His blood pressure skyrocketed. Right now they’ve told him it looks like he had a minor heart attack but they are still doing tests on him.

“Michael was in Miami. We just flew back to New York. But he didn’t feel well all day.”

Michael was taken to hospital last week after suffering chest pains and admitted he was concerned for his health before he was hospitalized yesterday.

Michael, who had been in Los Angeles last week to promote his upcoming cross-country bus tour reality show ‘Crossing Borders and then flew to Miami to make an appearance on US TV show ‘Geraldo’ – told X17Online, “I just have to take it easy and I’ll have to have surgery when I get back to New York.”

Michael, who was recently blasted by his actress daughter for suggesting she should be in rehab for her prescription drug problems, is scheduled to have a procedure to clear his arteries on Friday, March 19.

It s not known whether Lindsay has been in contact with her 49-year-old father since his heart attack.



Jessica Simpson Looking For Supportive Man


Jessica Simpson is looking for a man who can “support” her.

The 29-year-old singer, who was been linked to a string of famous men in recent years, including ‘Gravity’ hitmaker John Meyer and American footballer Tony Romo, claims she now wants someone who can look after her while allowing her to be independent.

She said, “I want a confident man. A man who understands me and can deal with my life and is not embarrassed by my life. And can support my life.

“And allow be to be powerful in the relationship. I’m not going to give up my role in this life to just be a housewife.”

However, Jessica also admits she wants someone who is spiritual and manly.

She told Barbara Walter’s ‘Here’s Barbara’ radio show, “What is attractive to me about a man is a man’s spirituality. Just the way he carries himself. I kind of like a rough man a little bit. A man’s man.”

Earlier this week Jessica revealed she was embarrassed after he ex-boyfriend John Mayer told Playboy magazine she was “sexual napalm”.

She said, It’s more embarrassing. I’ll walk into a restaurant or something. I’ll walk and feel like men are looking at me – but I feel like they’re undressing me.”
