Sandra Bullock Had To Adjust To Married Life
Sandra Bullock told Harper's Bazaar she had to learn how to do some things differently after marrying Jesse James in 2005. I'm sure all of you who are married can relate ;)
On that rare, candid paparazzi shot of her and husband Jesse James dirt biking:
"I panicked. We were in the desert, no place to pee. So I peed outside. [I thought] on the cover of the tabloids there's going to be a picture of me peeing by a cactus. And yes, I did it. I'll do it again."
On marriage to her husband, Jesse James:
"I've had to learn a hard lesson in that I'm not allowed to open car doors anymore. It was so hard for me to allow someone to take care of me. It's not because I can't take care of myself. But Jesse was like, Just let me do this.
On whether she's start a family of her own with Jesse James:
"You don't have to give birth to someone to have a family. I'm not going to spend two seconds of my life wishing I had something I don't. It's hard to do it your way when you hear everyone else telling you to do it their way. I just want people to admit that there's no one way to live your life. Of course, I don't know what's going to happen. I could go home today and go, I haven't started my period."
On having a recession-friendly fashion sense:
"I've never really had 'the closet,' you know, like the Kimora Lee Simmons closet. I see that and I want the leopard carpet. I want the chaise. But if we learn anything from this economic collapse, it's just work with what you've got."
On finding freedom in her 40's:
"I didn't have a teenage or early-20s experience that was free and without worry. I missed the screw-everything, have-a-good-time phase. I was worried that if I didn't stay on track and work, work, work, I was never going to accomplish anything. Now I'm trying to have fun and have the freedom to do nothing."
Sandra also said that after working hard in her 20's, she's trying to enjoy life a little bit more. It does seem like a long time since she's been in a movie, doesn't it? The last thing I saw her in was 'Crash.'
Now Sandra has a new movie coming out called 'The Proposal,' which co-stars Ryan Reynolds. In it, Sandra plays a "pushy boss" who has her assistant (Ryan's character) marry her to avoid deportation to Canada. Does that sound like it's worthy of a trip to the theater, a renter, or a pass to you?

I love Sandra Bullock! She's real and down to earth. She's also absolutely right on having to adjust to marriage and there not being one single way to live your life. Words of wisdom! And I can't wait to see her new movie! I already told my husband to expect a trip to the theaters when it comes out :-)

I was married so long ago, I can't remember my former self. Anyway, it has to be so annoying to constantly be asked about having kids. It is really no ones business but her and Jesse's.

Could she be any more normal and down-to-earth? Love her.
she is awesome!! i love all her stuff!! for sure..heading to the movies opening day!!!
This woman looks incredible!!! She is so beautiful, it is like time stands still for her... well done to her for doing things in her own time and her own way! Love you Sandy!
I love this woman too but I would like to know why isn't there anyone here saying "oh so she doesn't want to get pregnant because she doesn't want to ruin her body" like they do to Jennifer Aniston???
jennifer didn't want to have children for brad...brad left her selfish ass...thats why people say that about jenn....as for sandra....she doesnt seem full of herself AND is a good actess. she also got with a man and not some puss boy that makes out with perez...
Really? You know that is the reason for a fact? Amazing, because I don't recall that ever coming out of either of their mouths. But then it's obvious from your post that you believe everything you see online or in the tabloids. Pathetic.

i've always really hated watching her in movies, i just find her obnoxious. BUT she really does seem like a great person in real life.
Jesse's ex-wife Janine Lindemulder called into the Howard Stern Show this past March before starting her prison sentence for tax evasion. She says one of her exes turned her in but she wouldn’t say who. She says her ex-husband Jesse James and his new wife, actress Sandra Bullock, wanted nothing to do with her five-year-old daughter for the first three years of her life. Then one day they wanted contact with her daughter and Janine was happy and started making baby books for Jesse. But one day he just snapped and tried to get full custody of her daughter. They settled on joint custody.
The long standing rumor is that both Jesse and Sandra turned in Janine to the IRS. Though Jesse is no stranger to not paying people with his lawyers and former business partners all suing him for conning them and not paying his bills. I had always heard Jesse was violent towards Janine throughout their marriage and while Janine was pregnant with their daughter. He left Janine for Sandra while she was eight months pregnant though Janine says she doesn’t blame Sandra for the breakup. After Jesse left Janine for Sandra, he was claiming their daughter wasn’t his all of a sudden. DNA tests proved differently. Jesse then went on with his new life in Hollywood and wasn’t in contact with Janine or their daughter for the next three years.
My theory is that Sandra, who isn’t getting any younger by Hollywood standards, wanted Jesse to gain full custody of Janine’s daughter. This served two purposes: 1), Publicity for Sandra because she can get the publicity she wants by parading Janine’s daughter on public outings in front of the obvious paparazzi ahead. I’ve seen pictures of where Sandra is looking directly at the cameras and smiling while Janine’s daughter is in full view of them. Did Janine authorize these publicity stunts? And 2), Sandra can’t have children and trying to gain custody of a young child is her way of finally becoming a mother.
Sandra has many times stated in interviews that her husband’s children with his ex-wives and ex-girlfriends are also her children and a part of her family. I’m a part of a stepfamily but my stepfather had custody of me and raised me along with my mother. Sandra has nothing to do with Janine’s daughter except when Jesse has his visitation. Unless you are raising the children and their mothers are not in their lives for whatever reason, then you are not their mother and merely a babysitter. If Sandra had children. I highly doubt she would appreciate her husband’s exes saying her children are also their children now.
If Sandra can’t have children, she can open her home to foster children when there are so many children that need homes. She certainly has the money to do this and can take care of so many needy children. She obviously doesn’t want a happy stable family environment for Janine’s daughter because Janine said in her interview that Jesse and Sandra will not talk to her and she and Sandra have never really sat down to discuss her daughter staying with her while she’s in prison. How was this all arranged and handled? Through lawyers?
Jesse was using Janine’s porn history against her when he was first trying to get custody. But he didn’t have any problems marrying a porn star and getting a porn star pregnant. But when he met a woman more famous and more wealthy than Janine, Jesse and Sandra came to the conclusion that a porn star for a mother was suddenly a problem. Sandra thinks she’s a better mother figure for Janine’s daughter. But Janine has a 17-year-old son and there has never been any issues against Janine as a mother. Unlike Jesse who beat Janine while pregnant, later claimed their daughter wasn’t his, and then later having nothing to do with the child for the first three years of her life. While Sandra was having an affair with a married man who had a pregnant wife at home and has been trying to take a little girl away from her mother and older brother. Despite all of Janine’s flaws, I rather see her raising children than Jesse and Sandra.

this woman can do no wrong in my book, love her
I think Sandra Bullock is just like any other woman who desires her own family after enjoying a good career in Hollywood. Regardless what malicious accusations are thrown at her, she will still be Hollywood's golden girl :)
