Sandra Bullock 'buys $22m Beverly Hills house'

Sandra Bullock has reportedly purchased a $22 million (£13.3m) Beverly Hills estate.

X17 Online reveals that the Blind Side actress recently closed a deal for the "8,110-square-foot, seven-bed, eight-bath Tudor-style mansion" in the Holmby Hills neighbourhood.

The property occupies 4.1 acres and offers amenities such as an in-house screening room, library, staff quarters and a pool-side pavilion, as well as "stunning 270-degree views" of the ocean.

The house has had several famous owners, including movie star Marlo Thomas and record executive and film producer David Geffen.

Bullock previously donated $1 million to help aid those affected by the recent Japanese earthquake and tsunami.

It was announced earlier this month that a New Orleans high school class she had sponsored saw 100% of its students graduate this year.

Bullock donates $1 million to aid Japan

Sandra Bullock has donated $1 million (£619,000) to Japan relief efforts.
The Oscar winner made the donation to the Red Cross on behalf of her family.
The funds will go to aid those affected by last Friday's earthquake and tsunami, reports CNN.

"This contribution is vitally important as the Red Cross works to provide critical assistance and essential relief items in this time of urgent need for so many people in Japan," the Red Cross said in a statement.

Joe Jonas and Katy Perry both urged their fans to support those affected by the natural disasters in Japan.

The Black Eyed Peas also recently dedicated their latest music video to the victims of the earthquake and tsunami.

Sandra Bullock out in neighbor poll

NEW YORK: Americans would most like to live next door to actress Sandra Bullock in 2011, but the cast of the reality show "Jersey Shore" made the most undesirable neighbors, according to a poll released on Tuesday.

Bullock, who has won huge audiences with her All-American, girl-next-door image, earned more than a quarter of the vote in the annual poll on the most desirable celebrity neighbors, conducted by online real estate marketplace Zillow website.

She was followed by conservative Republican politician, Sarah Palin. That may bode well for people in Arizona as on Monday, headlines trumpeted the news that her daughter, Bristol Palin, had bought a home in the state.

President Barack Obama, his wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha dropped three places to No. 4 on the list after coming out on top last year. They were proceeded by talk show hosts Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia DeRossi at No. 3. Rounding out the top five was talk show host Conan O'Brien.

But the extroverted Italian-American cast of "Jersey Shore," which has scored impressive TV ratings and won fans with their fist pumps and tans, were voted the worst neighbors for 2010, followed again by the Obamas at No. 2 and Sarah Palin at No. 3.

"It was voyeuristic fun getting to know the 'Jersey Shore' crew as they partied and fist-pumped week after week on reality television, but do we want to live 'up close and personal' next door? Americans said 'no way,'" according to Zillow Vice President of Marketing and Communications Amy Bohutinsky.

Kanye West and Mel Gibson rounded up the top five worst neighbors in the No. 4 and No. 5 spots, respectively.

The survey asked U.S. adults which celebrities and politicians they would most like to be their neighbor, and with whom they wouldn't want to share a fence.

Sandra Bullock tops People's most intriguing list

Sandra Bullock, whose year of Oscar highs and divorce lows were captured this year in tabloid headlines, was named woman of the year in People magazine's issue of the 25 most intriguing people of 2010.

In its special issue that hits newsstands on Friday, People also singled out stars and non-stars alike with special titles. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were named "Glam Parents," and the Chilean miners were singled out for their dramatic rescue.

But Bullock graces the cover for making it through her up-and-down year. The 46 year-old actress won the best actress Oscar for "The Blind Side" in March, but about one week later her joy turned to heartache with sensational headlines that her husband Jesse James had cheated on their marriage.

In April, it was revealed that she and James had previously adopted a baby boy. By June, the pair were divorced and Bullock had custody of the child. Then, in August, financial website Forbes.com declared her the highest paid actress in Hollywood who earned $56 million for two box office hits, football film "The Blind Side" and romantic comedy "The Proposal."

Other names included in the 2010 list were actress Natalie Portman, given the title "Screen Gem," for her risky role as a ballerina in Oscar-hopeful film "Black Swan."

Female rapper Nicki Minaj was named "Rap Renegade," and upcoming Oscar co-host and actor James Franco, who this year has starred in movies, released a book and had his own art exhibit, was labeled "Multitasker" in the list.

Conservative politician Sarah Palin was dubbed the "Big Gun" of 2010.

People also highlights celebrity marriages, separations and a "Hall of Shame" that reviews the year's celebrity lows, including actor Mel Gibson's domestic abuse investigation.

"Scarlett...I love you and all but this is a little uncomfortable... why are you here?" asked Bullock.

"That's so nice. But we didn't win," Bullock added. Johansson responded: "Right... well... I thought you should have won... it was a great kiss."

Then, Bullock and Johansson moved closer. "It looked like such a great kiss," Johansson said.

It was earlier suggested that Bullock "might never make another film again" following the revelation of her estranged husband Jesse James's alleged infidelities.

However, a spokesperson for the actress told People: "In order to maintain Sandra Bullock's privacy, we will not comment on where she plans to live.

"Although she has no definite projects set at the moment, she has every intention of returning to work."

Bullock, James 'selling marital home'

Sandra Bullock and Jesse James have reportedly put their marital home on the market.

According to The Sun, the former couple decided to put the property in Orange County up for sale following Bullock's decision to get a divorce.

Bullock announced last week that she had decided to leave James following the allegations that he cheated on her with a number of women.

She is now thought to be living in the Hollywood home she resided in before marrying James in 2005.

The property they shared together allegedly has an asking price of $6m (£3.9m) but the real estate firm in charge of the sale is screening all potential buyers before showing them the house.

Recent reports have suggested that Bullock is planning to move to New Orleans, where her adopted son was born.

Sandra Bullock Getting a Divorce

Sandra Bullock is not taking her husband back despite him having checked himself into rehab to treat his sex addiction.

According to Radar Online, Sandra Bullock has already prepared divorce papers against Jesse James. A source close to the soon to be dissolved couple said that "her attitude against Jesse hasn't softened since she found out he was cheating on her. She's been betrayed and cheated on and she's not getting over that."

After Jesse James admitted to Bullock that he cheated on her with a total of seven women, it's kind of understandable that she's not willing to take him back.

Sandra Bullock is Single

After Sandra Bullock's husband cheated on her with an allegedly neo-Nazi model, the actress has been keeping a tight lip on her relationship status.

But today she updated her Facebook profile and changed her relationship to "single". Apparently after much going back and forth on the evidence, Sandra Bullock realized that her husband, Jesse James, was actually banging Michelle McGee right under her nose.

It looks like she made up her mind and will let Jesse be free to keep on screwing the tattooed white supremacist, who by the way, confirmed today that was indeed James' lover saying: "Yes, I did it, but I did it for my kids".

Back Into Hiding

It looked like was beginning to deal with her husband Jesse James’ affair with Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, but when Sandra Bullock found out about three more mistresses, it all went downhill.

The “Proposal” actress actually returned to Los Angeles earlier this week after having spent time with family in Texas. But it sounds like she’s disappeared once again.

An insider told press, “She’s devastated. She’s beyond upset. And she has every right to be. She was on top of the world with her Oscar victory and now this. It’s such a difficult thing to deal with.”

“She has a tight circle of friends. They won’t say much about her. They want to protect her. And that’s because she’s been nice to everyone along the way. She’s not stuck up. She doesn’t act like a star. She acts like a normal, sweet person, which is exactly what she is. And that’s why everyone is so loyal to her.”

Sandra split stripper poses in Nazi style

The stripper and tattoo model linked to this week's split between Oscar winner Sandra Bullock and her husband posed for pictures in Nazi regalia and had racist symbols inked on her legs, the celebrity website TMZ reported Friday.

The website published photos of Michelle "Bombshell" McGee sporting a swastika armband and Nazi hat and said that the letters W and P were tattooed on her legs, which the model claimed stood for White Power.

The new pictures surfaced a day after Bullock's husband Jesse James apologized publicly for the alleged affair. Reports also said that McGee had been paid $30,000 by In Touch magazine for divulging the details of her affair with James, who became a reality TV star thanks to his business of customising motorcycles.

McGee's claims prompted Bullock to cancel plans to attend the London premiere of her hit film The Blind Side and also to leave the family home, according to People magazine.

In a statement to People.com, James, 40, insisted that the "vast majority of allegations reported are untrue and unfounded".

But he went on to accept responsibility for the imbroglio.

"There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way," he said.

"This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me."

The marital crisis came less than two weeks after Bullock won a best actress Oscar for The Blind Side. In her winning speech, she lavished praise on her husband. Ironically it was while she was away filming that the alleged affair took place.

The incident prompted tabloids to report about an "Oscar curse" that befalls winners of the best actress prize. Previous winners who split from their partners within a year of their victories include Reese Witherspoon, Halle Berry, Julia Roberts and - after her 2009 win - Kate Winslet.
Susan Sarandon, who won in 1996, has also split from her partner.

As for her nomination, Bullock is nominated for her work in "The Blind Side"as she competes against Miley Cyrus, Megan Fox and Zoe Saldana.
