I have seen nothing that suggests that Bullock latched on to James while he was married with a pregnant wife. He had restraining orders placed on his ex in May of 2003 because of her violence and filed for divorce shortly thereafter. Bullock met him late in 2003. Do you have some inside knowledge of Bullock bagging James before that timeline? ETA here is the wiki on his charming ex: Janine Lindemulder

I have NO idea how reliable this source is, but it says Bullock and James met in December of 2003, well after James separated and filed for divorce from Janine: About.com on the Bullock/James meeting

There are tons of reports that Mr James' ex wife was 7-8 months pregnant when Ms Bullock got her claws into him. I think that stupid entertainment show on CNN talked about it, too. He even denied that child was his until they did paternity tests. Ah here's an ABC News story about it: ABC

"Lindemulder was 'not in favor of the divorce when Jesse left. Janine had custody of her daughter. Jesse didn't see his daughter for the first two years of her life except for around the time when she was born. It was only after he got involved with Sandra Bullock that he decided he wanted to have a relationship with his daughter.'" From the ABC source. Oh, and DNA tests when a divorce is underway is pretty much pro forma. It's the one and only chance of positively proving paternity before getting hit with 18-21 years of child support for a child that may not be yours. I would think it's especially important when the wife is in the sex industry. Also the source says James and Bullock were married in 2004. They were married in July of 2005.

I can say with confidence that James and Linedemulder were not together when he and Bullock got together.

Heh I got the Yankee stamp of approval. I didn't think so, there's no way the tabs would have let something like that go. She wouldn't be America's Sweetheart at this point, the story would have blown up like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and not in a manner favorable to Bullock's wholesome image.

According to the ultra reliable wiki James filed for divorce from Lindemulder in October 2003 after being separated since May 2003 (nasty - with alleged violence and restraining orders). As the baby was born January 1st 2004, that means he filed for divorce when Lindemulder was around five months pregnant. Even if Sandra Bullock "got her claws into" James when Lindemulder was seven or eight months pregnant (Nov-Dec 2003) he was publicly no longer with her and had been split for her for at least six months. Might not have been an ideal situation but it's not like Bullock grabbed him screaming and kicking from Lindemulder's clutches. eta: I'd just read the last few posts - should have reread the earlier posts, you guys have noted all this before.

not together and not married are not the same thing. The fact is, Mr James was married and had a very pregnant wife when Ms Bullock scooped him up.

Right, and "married" and "separated for six months with divorce papers filed after she beat me and tried to run me over with her car" are also not the same thing. Hence the lack of outrage by most(?) at Bullock's and James' relationship.

I've never said they were happily married. I'm sure they were no more happy, for example, than Brad Pitt was with Jennifer Aniston was when Ms Jolie came along. Happily, Ms Aniston wasn't with child at the time like Mr James' wife was.

but Brad and Jen were not separated with papers filed, so that comparison does not hold water.

They divorced in 2003, but James & Bullock weren't married until 2005....that's 2 years between. When did James & Bullock start seeing eachother? Before papers were filed or after?

I remember when watching Celebrity Apprentice last season that every week Donald Trump would tell Jesse James that Trump didn't "get" what Sandra saw in him. As much as it bothered me to hear him constantly bring it up week after week, I hate to say it, but I have to agree with Trump.

It looks like the Salahi's have been cast for the new show "Real Housewives of DC". The Salahi's are that couple that became famous after crashing the White House dinner. http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/...

Well as far as that goes, the only thing any of Trumps wives saw in him was money. Other than that he has nothing to offer....LOL

It just said they met in 03, not that they started dating then.

This goes back to being the parent's responsibility, not Gaga or Beyonce. While I am not a fan of either, I also have a say in what my kids watch. It's simple, don't allow them to watch that kind of garbage, but at the same time, educate them in case they do.

india.aire has also come out about that telephone video and the Bey and Gaga fans have been blowing up her twitter account because she called it socially irresponsible.

See, I feel kind of hypocritical here. I mostly agree with Escapee, but I think of sports stars and feel they should be careful because of how many young people look up to them, yet I see Gaga and Beyonce as artists who should be true to themselves and do what they want with their music and music videos. I'm not sure why I make the distinction? Maybe because their intended audience, to me, is older? Or as an artist myself, I wouldn't want to be told what I could or couldn't create? I remember Duran Duran's unedited Girls on Film video. Oi! I saw that in the 8th grade. So .... What do you think, Ladytex?

See, Hermi, I am in the same boat as you. Now, if they are showing these videos during commercial breaks of Dora the Explorer, you can't betcha I'm not going to be happy about it and that would be 100% socially irresponsible. But, think about what channel is this being played on? Should your kids be watching that channel in the first place??? Probably not. But, by chance they do see it, because kids see stuff when they aren't supposed to, it's important to educate your children on stuff like this.

I'm on the Donny Train, too. And I'm sure Gaga's take on it is she's not your kids' effing babysitter, whatever (which is true, but it doesn't mean her videos are without any redeeming social values). I don't care for her in the first place.
