Enjoying some time on the East Coast, Sandra Bullock was spotted out in New York City with her son Louis Bardo last night (November 2).
The ?Miss Congeniality? actress looked to be in good spirits as she treated her baby boy to his first trip to the Big Apple.
Sandra and Louis encountered plenty of eager paparazzi as they arrived at their Manhattan hotel, though they scurried inside to get out of the chilly fall weather.
And according to the National Enquirer, Ms. Bullock is considering giving Louis a sibling. ?She?s also talking to the adoption agency that hooked her up with baby Louis about another child,? states a report.

Stepping out in the warm Austin, Texas sun, Sandra Bullock was spotted getting the week underway on Monday afternoon (October 25).
The ?All About Steve? babe first stopped into a local Starbucks to grab a tasty beverage before heading over to a storage unit to shuffle through some of her goods with the help of a few assistants.

This week’s US Magazine (with Reese Witherspoon on the cover) has a whole spread featuring very close-up photos of Sandra Bullock on vacation in the Caribbean with her 9 month-old son, Louis, along with details of her week long vacation on the Island of Anguilla. Sandra isn’t obviously posing in the “paparazzi” photos, taken by agency Splash News, but they’re such high quality that they look set up to me. The accompanying story sounds straight from her publicist, and it even states that Sandra’s publicist planned the trip and went with them.
I don’t blame Sandra for continuing to put out these kind of feel-good stories for her image, but I’d prefer it if she just laid low for a while. Maybe her people figure that her ex is going to make headlines for months and they need to continue to manage the public’s perception of her following that huge scandal. They’ve done a great job so far, but this latest attempt seems a little transparent to me. They don’t even mention all the women Jesse cheated on Sandra with and make it seem like he only had one affair with “Bombshell” McGee.
Here are some excerpts from US:
On how her publicist arranged the trip and went with them
No one can blame Bullock for indulging in a little R&R after her rollercoaster 2010: In less than a year’s time, the actress, 46, adopted a son and won an Oscar for The Blind Side, but she also saw her five-year marriage to Jesse James, 41, crumble in March after he publicly admitted to a yearlong affair with tattoo model Michelle “Bombshell” McGee. Then in August, just as the ex who humiliated her moved to Austin so his three children could be near Bullock, she was forced to take out a restraining order against her accused longtime stalker, Thomas Weldon. “The stalker and the Jesse affair really sidelined Sandra,” says a source who has worked with Bullock. So time away with her close circle of supporters was a needed remedy. “They were planning it for a while,” says a Bullock insider. “Sandra’s publicist coordinated the whole trip. It was just a relaxing getaway.”
Details on her vacation
The luxurious retreat began October 9, when a private jet whisked the revelers [her sister, brother-in-law, publicist, a bodyguard and Louis] from L.A. to Anguilla, where they checked into two five-bedroom, ocean-front villas - each with a gourmet kitchen, a private pool, a sundeck and outdoor showers - that cost more than $5,000 a night apiece. Despite a hotel staff at her beck and call (the villas come with a private butler), the famously down-to-earth star “never wanted anyone to make a fuss over her,” says a staffer.
Indeed, rather than stay ensconced in their villas, Bullock and the group regularly dined in the hotel’s restaurants alongside other vacationers…
Ryan Reynolds stood her up twice
Alas, the vacation came to an end for Bullock October 16, when the group left the hotel and headed to the airport. And the actress, who was spotted during her vacation reading what looked like a film script, is going to be easing back into work, despite some reservations.
“She’s the most sought after actress in Hollywood right now,” says the source, who adds that she’s been slow to take on new projects.
Still, Bullock is set to reunite with Ryan Reynolds, her costar from 2009’s The Proposal, in the upcoming comedy Most Wanted. The two got together in September when he was in Austin, though a source says the actor stood her up two nights in a row at Walton’s Fancy and Staple, the local bistro she owns there. “He said he was too tired,” says the insider. When the two stars finally did connect, “they seemed happy to see each other. They’re very comfortable together,” says a Walton’s employee, who notes, “The conversations seemed to be about business.”
On the rumor that she’s dating her bodyguard
Though a tabloid implied she and her bodyguard Damien Holton are romantically involved (and Holton did, in fact, join the star in Anguilla), a source says there’s no hanky panky between the two. On vacation, Bullock sat near Holton at dinner and tried some of his dishes, says an onlooker, but another source insists the encounter was “nothing romantic.”
Claims Jesse and Kat Von D are still together
After Kat Von D stepped out with two men who weren’t beau Jesse James… [they] were rumored to be on the rocks. But all appears well: Von D told Us she and Sixx have remained pals since their January split, and a source says Von D and Margera are “just friends.” The latest? On October 17, Von D made a quick trip to the airport in Austin - James’ new hometown.

Are Sandra and her people putting Ryan Reynolds on notice for inconveniencing her when she has so many other things she could be doing? I got that impression, but US isn’t as much of a celebrity mouthpiece as People and maybe they added some of their own flair to this story about Sandra’s vacation. They seem to want us to think that Jesse is still with Kat, probably because it helps Sandra’s image if Jesse is perceived as a serial monogamist rather than a cheating dog who will take any scraps thrown at him.
I like Sandra and think she’s awesome, but these kind of managed stories just make me assume she’s planning out her personal life to put out a certain image. I don’t blame her, but I really think she does a better job at that on her own.

She?s back on the market thanks to Jesse James? inability to keep his pants on, and Sandra Bullock peeped some scantily clad men-folk during her evening out last night (September 16).
The ?Proposal? actress was spotted enjoying the scenery at The Abbey in West Hollywood, a well-known and uber-popular gay bar.
But rather than ogle too much, Sandra seemed more interested in chatting with her group of friends that she met up with.
After a few hours of massive man candy, Ms. Bullock decided to call it a night- she reportedly left around midnight.

Treating herself to a rare night on the town, Sandra Bullock was spotted out for a delicious dinner in Los Angeles, CA on Thursday (September 16).
Looking cute in a black sweater, jeans and black lace-up open toe boots, the "Blind Side" actress opted to chow down at the popular Red O restaurant for a little Mexican cuisine.
And while she's managed to move on post-cheating scandal, Sandra's ex husband Jesse James's mistress Michelle "Bombshell" McGee can't let it go.
Talking to Us magazine, the tattoo model tells, "I would talk to her [Sandra] girl to girl and wish her the best. She is a mom now, and I think that's great. I am a mom too; I have two kids."

Tomorrow is Sandra Bullock?s big interview with Matt Lauer on the Today Show. She and Lauer already filmed it, though, and Today has started the steady release of quotes from Sandy?s first television interview since Jesse James? bimbo eruption. So far, we haven?t gotten any quotes about Jesse, or about the divorce, and my guess is that Sandra said a few things about him and then Lauer let her move on, not pushing it. Mostly, it seems Sandra talks about her son Louis and how he?s changed her life. My favorite quote is when she?s talking about all of the ?girls? in her family, and how she wasn?t expecting to adopt a son: ?And I didn’t think it would be a boy. We don’t have any boys in our family. Boy, is everyone really happy about that. So, he’s like the crown prince. You know, it’s nothing but girls in our family … It was just the hierarchy that needed to be broken.”
In her first television interview since splitting with Jesse James, Sandra Bullock says “everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out.”
Case in point: Her seven-month-old son Louis, whom she adopted from New Orleans.
“He’s a little Cajun cookie,” she tells the Today show’s Matt Lauer in the interview, airing Tuesday.
Bullock, 46 — who attended the ribbon cutting Sunday of a new $700,000 New Orleans health clinic she helped fund to mark the fifth year of Hurricane Katrina — says she loves being tied to the Big Easy.
“How lucky am I?” she asks Lauer.
Bullock and ex husband James, 40 — with whom she split earlier this year following reports that he cheated — began the adoption process four years.
“It was a long process,” she tells Lauer. “I did not circumvent. I wanted to do everything exactly the same way everyone else did. And– it was– he was always mine, you know. It wasn’t like I felt like someone was going to take him away. But it was nice to have someone say, I think you’re a fit parent.”
Bullock has said she always had “faith” she would end up with the right child.
“Everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out,” she says. “We had always said that it didn’t matter where the child came from. If they had issues that were medical issues, we didn’t care. It’s like the child that needed us in the home is the child that’s going to be placed.
“And I didn’t think it would be a boy,” she adds. “We don’t have any boys in our family. Boy, is everyone really happy about that. So, he’s like the crown prince. You know, it’s nothing but girls in our family … It was just the hierarchy that needed to be broken.”
Bullock kept her adoption hush-hush — and she credits her close friends with helping her do so.
“It takes good people with integrity,” she says. “I mean, I read something like, how did someone keep a secret, and it’s– you know– human beings exist that have integrity that know how to keep their mouth shut. That know the bigger picture, that don’t sell out their friends. Those people are all over the place. But again, we don’t like to talk about it, because it doesn’t sell a magazine. But I was blessed with the same friends I’ve had since before things got really special for me and blessed in life.?
“And when things get bad, they’re still the same friends,” she says. “And, you know, it– everything passes. It all passes. But they just– you know, they know if they screw up they’re not coming on the next vacation. I’m not going to babysit their kids. I will cut them. I will take them down.”
Kidding aside, she says, “I have friends and family that are filled with massive amounts of integrity. And it shouldn’t be an oddity.”

She sounds like she?s in a good place. I don?t know? I?ll judge her state of mind when I see the full interview, see what kind of inflections she?s using. My guess is that she?s still feeling pretty damaged from everything that?s gone on this year, but that she?s a positive person and she sees the glass as half full. Which? good for her, you know? I prefer this so much - a celebrity who is like, ?Seriously, I?m fine, I don?t want your pity.?

Sandra Bullock was on hand to help open the new health clinic at the Warren Easton Charter school in New Orleans on Sunday, the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Bullock is a major sponsor of the clinic and the school, an acclaimed public school with an almost 100% graduation rate. She spoke to the press that morning and joked that she was going to give a seminar in truth in journalism. Then she got serious and talked about the good that the school does. “I am personally tired of only hearing about the bad news [from] the media. When I firsthand have seen nothing but unimaginable kindness, perseverance and hope right under this roof here.” Here’s more of what Sandra said:
Despite the rain-soaked gray Sunday morning and the somber fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Sandra Bullock managed to get a laugh out of the crowd at Warren Easton Charter High School in New Orleans.
Flipping over an hourglass, the Oscar-winning actress joked, “THIS is all the time I have.”
Bullock, a part-time New Orleans resident, donated money to help rebuild the school and to open a student health clinic. She appeared at weekend events to pay tribute to those behind the hurricane recovery effort.
“I have seen nothing but unimaginable kindness, perseverance and hope right in this room here,” said Bullock. “It gives me great pleasure to be in the company of these people who have actually made the difference. They did the hard work, they are here sitting before you.”
Joking that she was beginning to sound like a politician ? “No offense,” she laughed to U.S. Sens. Mary Landrieu and David Vitter ? Bullock said that despite the devastation, the anniversary should be seen as day for celebration.
“These young adults have seen the very worst, and they are committed to the very best,” said Bullock. ” They are our future leaders. I would like to thank the students who step up to the plate and do the hardest work. I didn’t do it in high school, and it makes me so incredibly proud.”
Wearing a V-neck dark blue knee-length dress, black belt and heels, Bullock stood with school nurse Cassondra Ferrand and principal Alexina Medley and other officials to cut the gold ribbon on the new health facility behind the school.
“It was more than her money,” says Easton Foundation board member Arthur Hardy. “She is like our spiritual leader. She is our angel.”
“What do you say about a human being who just pours out their heart and soul, who puts their money where their mouth is, walks the walk, talks the talk,” adds Mayor Mitch Landrieu. “And even if is was just in a movie, she married a New Orleans boy.”

Sandra first interview post-scandal interview will be from New Orleans with Matt Lauer and will air on Tuesday. You can be sure that she’ll talk about her work with the school along with the efforts to rebuild the community post-Katrina. I love that she’s so involved in local causes, and that she adopted her son from New Orleans. She seems like such a caring person who is glad to help make a difference. She seemed to really acknowledge the unsung heroes in her speech, too, the people who give of themselves and don’t get the recognition that we give celebrities and politicians for their charity work. I’m anxious to hear what she has to say on Tuesday.

Doing her part to continue helping out in the rebuilding effort, Sandra Bullock returned to Warren Easton Charter High School in New Orleans, Louisiana on Sunday (August 29).
The Oscar-winning actress was all smiles as she gave a press conference to celebrate the opening of a new health clinic on the campus in honor of the 5th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
Following the press address, Miss Bullock joined local politicians, educators and school backers during a ribbon-cutting ceremony outside the new clinic's doors.
According to AP reports, the free, full-service medical and dental clinic is slated to open sometime this fall - making for a much-needed addition to the city's oldest public school.
