This is most likely BS, as it comes from OK! Magazine and it?s not like Sandra Bullock has a history of keeping her adoption news LOCKED DOWN or anything. Still, it?s always nice to hear about Sandra Bullock, especially after her not-so-amazing appearance at the Oscars. CB didn?t care for Sandra?s Marchesa, but I thought it was one of the better Marchesa creations I?ve ever seen (damning with faint praise). What really bothered me (and CB) was Sandra?s jacked face. She overdid the ?Tox and it was not a good look. Anyway, good (fake) news! Bullock may be preparing to adopt a little girl!
Sandra Bullock is so happy with baby Louis that she wants to add a new addition to their family!
Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock loves being a single mommy to her adopted son Louis, and now she?s ready to adopt a baby girl, according to OK! magazine. ?Ever since she first brought baby Louis into her life, Sandra said he?s her greatest achievement,? a pal says. ?But there is one thing that she feels would make her world complete: a little sister for Louis!?
The 2-year-old is starting preschool, and Sandra realizes that now is the time to build her family.
?She?s excited and has been talking to Louis about the idea,? the friend says.
The pal adds that life has never been better for the 47-year-old: ?She?s adopting again, she has a tight-knit circle of friends, and she?s got a huge movie coming out at the end of the year with George Clooney. She?s determined that this year will be her moment. It?s great to see Sandra back!?

The film with Clooney is Gravity – that?s the one where producers really, really wanted Angelina Jolie and they offered Jolie a truck full of cash to do it, but she still said no. Sandra was the second choice. Still, it?s good to see her back at work, and I would love to see her adopt again. I think Louie fulfills her and grounds her, and he?s become the love of her life. She seems like a great mom, and it wouldn?t surprise me if she was considering another adoption. God knows, she might have actually adopted ten more babies, but she?s just so good at keeping that information locked down, we won?t know until she tells us.
Don?t you love how Louis constantly has that expression of ?Not. Impressed.?? He?s amazing.

I’m glad that so few women were wearing Marchesa last night, although I would have wished Marchesa on Stacy Keibler, you know? Her bronze shiny number was Marchesa of course and Kaiser will be covering that in its full glory soon. Also in Marchesa was poor Sandra Bullock, in a black and white number that looks like two pieces from different dresses stuck together with some silver coral duct tape. Sandra was stunning in Marchesa in 2010 when she won the Best Actress Oscar, but the designer let her down this time. This dress not pretty, it’s not particularly flattering and it’s not tailored for her at all. It just kind of hung there like a limp excuse for a fancy dress. It had a draped back and a fishtail too. It was like a bunch of different ideas for a dress jammed together into one confusing whole.
Plus, I know I’m going to get heat for this because even when things look obvious to me others will disagree, but her face looked very frozen to me. Maybe it was partially the effect of her ponytail, but Sandra looked pulled tight. It’s probably just some fillers and maybe light Botox. At one point when she was talking to ABC’s Louise Rowe I noticed that she was able to crinkle her forehead, though. She told Louise that the dress was her first choice, one she should have rethought in my opinion. “Usually you find one [gown] and you make your way to others and you come back to your original choice.”
When she was presenting the award for Best Foreign Language film, which went to Iran’s A Separation, Sandra claimed she would read the nominees in Chinese, but she actually spoke German. Her late mother was German. It was one of several presenting gags that fell flat last night.
I’ll say something nice – her dress looked better at the VF Oscar Party. Maybe it needs to be lit correctly.

Toting her little man into school, Sandra Bullock and Louis Bardo were spotted heading inside his learning facility in Beverly Hills, CA on Tuesday (February 7).
Sporting some trendy glasses, the ?Blind Side? babe looked cute and casual in jeans, a t-shirt and zip-up as the mother/son duo disappeared into the building.
Meanwhile, Miss Bullock recently opened up to Deadline about what drew her to her latest 9/11-themed feature film, ?Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.?
She told writer Pete Hammond, ?The way the story was written through Thomas [Horn?s] character Oskar?s eyes, really inspired me, because it allowed you to feel things as an innocent, rather than as an adult."
Sandra added, "Knowing everything that we knew about the (9/11) events and how much pain it caused everyone and this child?s desire just to understand, ?Why?? And there is no answer. It also shows a healing ? how it bonded people together that you would never expect to come together.?

Tending to her motherly duties, Sandra Bullock was spotted picking up her young son from school in Los Angeles, CA on Tuesday (January 10).
The ?Blind Side? babe looked cute and casual in boots, jeans and a sweater as she headed inside the learning facility to scoop up little Louis.
And while there may not be wedding bells for Ms Bullock anytime soon, her ?Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close? co-star Viola Davis has big plans for her 17-month-old daughter Genesis and 2-year-old Louis.
Chatting with E! News at last night?s Audi and Martin Katz 2012 Pre-Golden Globes party, Davis told, "I love Louis," she said, adding that Louis and Genesis have yet to meet. "He's so cute. He's smart, he's fun, he looks independent. It's good pedigree."

Making sure to keep her mommy duties on top of her priority list, Sandra Bullock was spotted picking up her adorable little guy, Louis,from preschool in Los Angeles, California on Thursday afternoon (January 5).
The Oscar-winning actress toted her growing son in her arms, with little Louis - who is usually very straight-faced - even managed to crack a big smile and opened his arms up excitedly to reach for his favorite bodyguard.
The sighting comes as Miss Bullock is getting closer and closer to the release of her first post-divorce film, "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close".
Set to hit theaters on January 20, the Stephen Daldry directed drama follows "a nine-year-old amateur inventor, Francophile, and pacifist searching New York City for the lock that matches a mysterious key left behind by his father, who died in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001."

I don?t have any interest in going to see Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (or Incredibly Loud and Extremely Close, as I keep mistakenly calling it). It?s not that I don?t like Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks – I like them both a lot, and I wish they had worked together on a ?lighter? project, because then the film would be must-see. I just think that the subject matter – 9/11 drama – is still too much for fictional feature films. Give me a documentary about 9/11, sure, I?m there. Around the tenth anniversary, I watched a ton of documentaries, and they all made me cry, from the one about the construction of the memorial, to that epic Showtime 10-part series, to the one about the two French brothers who were making a documentary about a newbie fireman on what happened to be 9/11. Sobbing, weeping, sobering, mesmerizing. But I think the feelings are still too raw, and people don?t want to see the events of the day fictionalized, sensationalized, packaged in a neat, overwrought drama with a bow.
Anyway, Sandra Bullock hasn?t been all over the place promoting the film, and Tom Hanks has barely been anywhere. I don?t think Bullock even did any magazine interviews, did she? But she?s got a new interview with the AP, and? it got to me. The quote everyone is talking about is the ?permanently broken? statement, but what got me was Sandra talking about a scene in which Tom Hanks?s character calls her from one of the towers. GAH. I just teared up.
Sandra Bullock wasn’t looking to return to acting when Stephen Daldry called about “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.” Bullock’s last film, 2009?s “The Blind Side,” was the kind of career apogee of which most actresses dream, winning her a best actress Academy Award in what essentially amounted to a coronation of Bullock as America’s most beloved female movie star.
But the accomplishment ? which would normally be followed by a wave of projects to capitalize on the momentum ? was soon marred by public scandal. Bullock’s husband, “Monster Garage” host Jesse James, was revealed to have been unfaithful. The fallout, which led to divorce, was covered relentlessly by the tabloids. Bullock still went ahead and adopted a baby boy.
When Daldry, the director of “The Hours” and “The Reader,” approached her about “Extremely Loud,” Bullock wasn’t sure she would return to acting at all.
“I was perfectly content to be permanently broken,” she says. Recognizing how that might sound in print, she smiles at the unintended hint of her personal turmoil, and adds “time-wise” to clarify the break as one from moviemaking.
“I honestly didn’t think I was in a place where I wanted to work or wanted to step out of where I was,” she says. “I wasn’t prepared. But the opportunity was louder than my head.”
The chance was to play a supporting but key role in Daldry’s adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel. In it, Bullock plays the mother of an uncommonly bright, precocious child (Thomas Horn), whose father (Tom Hanks) dies on Sept. 11. It’s a particularly wrenching story about grief and reconciliation.
“What a great way to get back on the horse,” says Bullock, who was staying at a hotel 20 blocks from the World Trade Center on 9/11. “It was hard, but it was what it’s supposed to be.”
It took some courting. Daldry visited Bullock at her house, and when he asked her what she might bring to the role, the actress was frank.
“I said, `I haven’t the slightest idea,’” she says. “I was like, `The well is deep. It’s your job to stop it or get it.’”
Bullock and Daldry have a charming, easy manner with each other, showering one another with compliments. Asked why he pursued her for the part, the British director quips, “She’s cheap as chips.”
“I have watched just about everything you’ve ever made,” says Daldry. Bullock, whose self-deprecating humor is undimmed, doesn’t miss a beat: “I’m so sorry.”
“I needed a partner in the project, somebody that would be a leading lady and look after me, look after herself, look after the character, look after the kid and look after the creation of the whole process,” says Daldry. “Sandy was literally like a partner on it for me. We would write and rewrite and focus down.”
One of the film’s most striking and emotional scenes is a flashback to Bullock’s character speaking on the phone with her husband, who is calling from atop one of the burning towers.
“The thing that made it so poignant for me was that Tom Hanks showed up that day,” says Bullock. “He sat in a room not far from where I was and made that call every single time. Every time I pick up that phone, it was Tom Hanks on the other end of the line. My husband who is calling because he knows he’s going to die, giving me some gift, some joy, some jewel ? something that he can leave me with so he knows I’m going to be OK.”
If Bullock, 47, was hesitant to return to acting, she’s now appears fully back. She recently finished shooting another highly anticipated movie: Alfonso Cuaron’s “Gravity,” a space thriller co-starring George Clooney.

Is it possible to feel a wave of sympathy for a rich, privileged actress that I?ve never met? Because Sandra just got another sympathy wave from me. I think she?s still raw too – she got burned so badly with Jesse James, and I think that she simply picked up her son from the ashes and that?s all she thinks she deserves at this point, you know? Like, it feels like she?s given up on men, on relationships, on anything to do with that part of life. Poor Sandy.

Star Magazine has an inset story on their cover this week all about Sandra Bullock’s $20 million defamation lawsuit against her scumbag ex, Jesse James, for talking smack about her publicly. However, the story just says that Sandra could file a suit against Jesse if she were so inclined and that she could make it for around $20 million, according to some expert Star found. They only go so far as to quote a vague “source” who claims Sandra is considering it. My favorite part of this story is where Star speculates that Sandra won’t sue Jesse, also as they’ve speculated, because Jesse could potentially have some awesome dirt on her that he would bring out during a lawsuit. Isn’t this what we’ve heard all along? Like how can Sandy, “America’s Sweetheart,” have married a douchey neo-Nazi and still have kept her pristine public image? However, I think that Jesse was so butt hurt by getting rejected after cheating on Sandra that he would have already spilled Sandra’s secrets if he had any. Here’s more of Star’s story:
One month after shocking accounts of her husband’s wild cheating drove Sandra Bullock to file for divorce in April 2010, an emotional and repentant Jesse James appeared on Nightline and claimed, “I still have hopes of saving some sort of relationship with Sandy.”
Now it seems those sentiments were hollow, because the words Jesse has used over the last year to publicly describe his life with Sandra have been dipped in venom.
And his latest thinly veiled broad-side against her ? when he sneeringly referred to how he had “married some Hollywood actress… I’m not what I became,” during a recent appearance on the reality series American Chopper: The Build-Off ? could end up hurting him where it hurts the most: in his wallet!
An insider tells Star magazine that while Sandra, 47, “has consistently taken the high road by never talking about Jesse since their split, I don’t expect her to play the shrinking violet forever if his jabs have secretly been causing her emotional distress.”
And she has a powerful weapon at her disposal to strike back. Sources tell Star she could hit Jesse, 42, with a defamation suit, with one legal expert telling Star that “asking for $20 million in damages would not be out of the realm of possibility…”
Sandra “has every right to initiate a defamation lawsuit against her ex husband if she believes that any of the public statements he’s made about her have been defamatory,” noted NYC defamation lawyer Richard Ancowitz tells Star…
“I imagine that even the prospect of legal action would lead his lawyer to counsel Mr. James to keep his thoughts about Ms. Bullock to himself…”
“If Jesse keeps revealing personal information about Sandra, she could also stop him by suing for invasion of privacy,” Aaron Morris, a defamation attorney… tells Star…
Though Sandra’s rep denies that she is considering legal action, the legal source adds that she could also “go after Jesse for breach of contract if they had signed confidentiality agreements as part of their divorce.”
There is a possible consequence that could keep Sandra from taking action, the legal source tells Star. “It could open the door the defendant to disclose more embarrassing personal information as a defense against the claims. That information would then become public in the court record.”

This “lawsuit” is as much a figment of Star’s imagination as Jennifer Aniston’s pregnancy with twins, but it’s still fun to speculate about. You know that Sandra is just actively ignoring this guy and he keeps throwing jabs at her hoping to get some kind of response. She’s not going to say a thing about him and that hurts his widdle ego more than anything.
Sandra has been doing the press rounds for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, in which she plays the widow of a 9-11 victim. She’s only in the film for about 20 minutes, and the lead is the young boy who plays her son, Thomas Horn. She has a new interview on The Today Show in which she talks about her personal experience with the September 11 attacks (sad) and about hearing the last messages that victims left their families (double sad). Families shared the messages from their loved ones to help with research for the film, and Sandra called those “an incredible gift.” She does have a fun rapport with Matt Lauer and gives him crap throughout the interview, but it’s not enough to lighten the mood. Watching the press for this film just gives me the impression that it’s not going to do well at the box office given the subject matter. It may get some nods at awards time, though, especially for Horn.

These are photos from the premiere of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, that film where Tom Hanks plays a father who died in the World Trade towers on 9/11 and Sandra Bullock is the widow raising a young, precocious son who has a mysterious key that unlocks something in NYC. Let?s get through the superficial stuff first – Sandra Bullock is wearing Alexander McQueen, and? I really don?t like the execution of this. I love the idea of Sandy in a smart, well-designed suit, but the shiny silk/satin (?) fabric is pretty awful, and the suit ends up looking really cheap on her. I also have a problem with Bullock?s styling – the flat-ironed hair looks dated, and she paired her shiny black suit with a flesh-colored camisole that is playing tricks on my eyes. Also: Sandra looks like she got some new boobs. I don?t like saying that, but look at them. She?s never been that well-endowed.
Should we talk about Tom Hanks? Well, at least he?s aging naturally. I get tired of men who look as nipped and tucked as the ladies, but I want to force Tom to get some sleep and use some night cream. Rita looks good, though.
Viola Davis is in this too – and I loved her premiere dress. She was the one pop of color on the red carpet, and this cotton-candy Pink looks AMAZING on her.
As for the film? when it was being made, everyone thought it was possibly going to be a major Oscar contender, but as far as I know, it?s made no one?s ?Best of 2011? list, and it?s actually been criticized for it?s overwrought sentimentality. I can see how it looked great on paper, though – pair America?s Sweetheart with America?s Most Beloved Leading Man, insert national tragedy and a kid who is wise beyond his years, and wait for the awards. Why didn?t that work out? Here?s the trailer:
