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.

When I read that Sandra Bullock was going to give her first TV interview after the scandal over her now ex-husband being a tattooed swastika-loving creep who thinks with his dick, I thought “hasn’t she already given a televised interview?” It turns out she hasn’t, and has only spoken to People Magazine along with making several event appearances. The fact that I follow celebrity gossip so closely and was initially confused about this speaks to how expertly Sandra and her people have handled her image. They waited until the divorce was final and the scandal lost its shock value to put Sandra out there in person. They also leaked several strategic stories to the press on Sandra’s relationship with Jesse in preparation for whatever she decided to do. Thankfully she hasn’t reunited with the guy despite his move to Austin to be closer to her, and she’s now headed for more success with at least six films in development. She’s also helping out the Warren Easton Charter School in New Orleans and will be speaking to Today Show’s Matt Lauer from New Orleans to highlight her work there.
Newsflash: Sandra Bullock will give her first TV interview since splitting with Jesse James on Tuesday.
She will sit down with Today’s Matt Lauer in New Orleans.
Days after winning her Best Actress Oscar for The Blind Side, the actress, 46, was blindsided when news broke that her husband of five years had an affair.
In April — months before finalizing her divorce from James, 40 - she announced that she had adopted a baby from New Orleans: 3 -month-old son, Louis.
Bullock is currently in talks to star alongside Tom Hanks in the 9/11 drama, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

You know, I bet Sandra will primarily talk about her charity work and career and will give like two minor well rehearsed blurbs on that whole mess with Jesse. I don’t think she’s going to get into any of that and she’ll speak about it in general terms and move on. It’s also interesting that she’s doing it from New Orleans. This reminds me of the interview Angelina Jolie did with Anne Curry in Namibia back when she was pregnant with Shiloh in 2006. If a celebrity wants to take the focus away from a scandal, the best way to do that is to have the interview in a place where there’s something immediate and preferably positive to talk about. The fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina is Sunday, and the new health clinic in the Warren Easton Charter School will open on that day. It offers full service medical and dental care and has been funded by The San Francisco 49ers, the Kellogg Foundation and Sandra. She’s handled her image very well but given what a genuinely good, caring person she it’s not like she’s misleading us one bit. The public adores her and that’s not going to change. [via Just Jared]
Here’s Sandra getting bread yesterday, 8/25. She’s also shown with her bodyguard on 8/24 and picking up dry cleaning on 8/22. Jesse and his daughters Sunny, 6, and Chandler, 15, are shown on 8/25 and Fame did a split photo thing, but they were “miles” away from those other photos taken of Sandra. It’s not like they were nearby. Credit: Fame Pictures

The Oscar winning actress looked fabulous as she stopped into the Omni Hotel with a companion to meet up with director Stephen Daldry.
After having a sitdown to throw out a few ideas, Miss Bullock left the Lone Star State hotel with what appeared to be a new script to ponder.
The meeting comes after Sandra's much-publicized divorce from Jesse James - with the 46-year-old having lined up numerous projects while she hasn't had anything released since "The Blind Side" in 2009.
