Showing her support for the flood victims of Nashville, Sandra Bullock gave a very special performance at the Nashville Rising benefit concert last night (June 22).
The ?Miss Congeniality? actress was a surprise guest at the event and everyone in the audience went nuts when she walked out on stage.
Sandra told the enthusiastic crowd, ?I?m going to bring the house down. And I?m going to do it Nashville style!?
Strapping on a jumbo-sized acoustic guitar, Bullock added, ?If I could have some quiet please,? as she tried to play the guitar, though she eventually gave up, stating, ?I can?t play for crap!?

Despite the imploding of her marriage, Sandra Bullock says life is good as the mother of her adopted son Louis.
The ?Miss Congeniality? actress told press she?s discovered her ability to give up sleep in order to be a good mom.
?I have been surprised by the fact that I really only need 3 hours of sleep. I have learned that a little person screaming at the top of his lungs can mean six things?and I will figure out which one it is and fix it.?
She continued, ?I don?t want anyone else to have the pleasure of changing poopy diapers but me. There is nothing hard about loving Louis. I never imagined I would say the words ?my son.??

I?ll admit it, I never saw The Proposal. I don?t care for Ryan Reynolds nor formulaic romantic comedies on general principle, which is why I didn?t see it initially. Then I didn?t see it just because I was too lazy to go look for it (the Blockbuster closest to my house shut down, sad face). Anyway, long story short, I have no idea if Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock had or have any chemistry together. I tended to suspect they didn?t, although Bullock is certainly capable of having chemistry with a brick wall. My guess is that Ryan and Sandra were close friends rather than the ideal rom-com duo. Maybe I?m wrong. But they?re going to get a second chance to make a first impression (on me): Ryan and Sandra are reuniting for a new rom-com called Most Wanted. It will be Sandra?s first film since her Oscar-winning role in The Blind Side. It will also be her first role since the whole marriage implosion thing.
The creative team behind “The Proposal” — stars Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, director Anne Fletcher, writer Pete Chiarelli and producers David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman — are reuniting for “Most Wanted,” an action comedy project that sold to Universal over the weekend.
The story sees Bullock as a criminal suspect with Reynolds as an FBI agent who is supposed to be escorting her to court when the two are ambushed and forced to go on the run. The project is described as having a tone similar to that of “Midnight Run,” Universal’s 1988 action comedy starring Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin. Universal is developing a sequel to “Midnight Run.”
The pitch originally went into Disney, the company that made “Proposal,” the hit romantic comedy made via its Touchstone label that grossed more than $317 million and was part of Bullock’s comeback year. Since the movie’s June 2009 release, however, Disney has undergone a regime change and the company is de-emphasizing Touchstone, preferring to focus on the core Disney brand and hoping to make movies that can be taken advantage by the wide spectrum of the company.
When Disney passed, the team took a breather before taking it to the rest of the town. By late last week, the project was fielding multiple offers before being captures by Universal. Reynolds will also exec produce along with this Dark Trick Films partner Jonathon Komack-Martin.
Chiarelli is a former MGM exec who in his spare time wrote “The Proposal.” The script has kicked off a writing career, with the scribe working on “What Men Want” for Paramount and “Forever 21? at DreamWorks. He is repped by CAA and Mosaic. Fletcher, who is developing “Enchanted 2? for Disney, is repped by UTA. Bullock and Reynolds are repped by CAA.

Eh, it sounds like an interesting concept, I suppose. It reminds me a little of that one Bullock did with Ben Affleck? whajamacallit, Forces of Nature. Two people thrown together, a series of hotel rooms, scrounging for available transportation. Now, I don?t want to be rude or anything, because I really am on The Bullock Bandwagon, for real, but isn?t Sandra above this sh-t? Yes, she?s a good actress, and yes, she?s still America?s Sweetheart and a rom-com queen and all, and maybe she just wants to make a fun movie rather than an Oscar-bait one, but still. You?d think that this project wouldn?t read ?Bullock!? immediately. Unless she gets to beat the crap out of Ryan. That would be good. I might go see it in that case.

It was a night to remember at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, and Sandra Bullock had one of the evening?s more notable moments.
The ?Speed? actress made a big splash with the crowd by grabbing actress Scarlett Johansson and planting a big one on her smacker.
Ms. Bullock told press, ?Ryan is right- Scarlett is a great kisser,? speaking of her ?Proposal? costar, and Johansson?s husband Ryan Reynolds.
As Sandra accepted her Generation award she assured her fans that she plans on continuing her acting career. "No matter what you might have seen or heard or read lately, I love what I do. And I'm not going anywhere."

Getting back in the public spotlight for the first time since her adoption announcement and husband's affair scandal, Sandra Bullock was looking fabulous at Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards in Los Angeles, California on Saturday (June 5).
Though she avoided the arrivals carpet and backstage press room, the Oscar-winning actress took the stage to accept the "Troops Choice" Award for Entertainer of the Year from Robert Downey, Jr. and military family members at the Sony Pictures Studios venue.
Clad in a black, leather minidress, the "Blind Side" beauty told the crowd, "Let's be honest here, just for a moment. We're all going to be honest, right? Did I win this for being entertainer of the year, or did I win this because of the spectacular I.E.D. [improvised explosive device] explosion that became my personal life?!"
Continuing on, Miss Bullock added, "No, it's okay. Because I would do it over again if it was to entertain our troops, and our extraordinary troops deserve something much more than some actress in a tight dress talking herself."
With the crowd eating up her speech, the 45-year-old finished up by saying, "I would sing, but you've seen enough pain in your lifetime. I would dance ? I'm a pretty good dancer, but as I mentioned, the dress is pretty tight."

| | Sandra Bullock in People: most moving celebrity interview ever | | Added 14 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

We’ve seen advance quotes from Sandra Bullock’s interview in People, and when I say that they don’t do the interview even a smidgen of justice I’m not exaggerating. There’s little context given in the story for the interview, and it’s just a series of questions and answers. You can tell from the format that it was at least heavily edited, or maybe that it was even all written out ahead of time. Sandra could have had a whole team of people helping her come up with questions and change her answers until they came across precisely just as they wanted. Even with my cynical assessment of how the interview was conducted, I have to say that it was truly the most moving celebrity interview I have ever read. In fact I was sitting in my son’s karate class struggling not to bawl as I read it, and at one point I had to put it down because I was afraid the other parents would see me crying. Sandra has gone through some truly awful sh*t, but this strong, beautiful successful woman now has an amazing baby that she cherishes more than anything. The way she describes her life and makes sense of what she went through is truly awe-inspiring.
There’s no hint of false hope or that Sandra is putting on some kind of brave face to the world. She tells us that things were hard and she doesn’t blame or get into the details. She also tells us that her life has been changed so much by the love she has for her new son that she can’t get bogged down in those details. Everything was altered when that baby came into her life, and it couldn’t have happened at a better time for her. Just as the advance quotes could in no way capture this interview, neither can I. Here are some of the more moving things Sandra said/wrote that I haven’t yet read online.
When did you decide to adopt?
I don’t recall the big “aha” moment of when we decided. We spent so much time in New Orleans after Katrina, and one day it was just a feeling that came that instead of bringing another life into this world, that we wanted to reach out and find our child in New Orleans. There were so many children alone after Katrina, and for some reason we knew that someone would want to come into our lives. So we began the process of adoption about four years ago, never thinking about what [the child] would look like, whether it was a girl or a boy, what background - it didn’t matter. We somehow knew the right little person would come.
And out of the blue one day, Sunny proclaimed to me that we shouldn’t have another baby, that we should adopt. I froze. I had no idea where she got this, so I asked her why, and she said, “Because there are so many little babies that have no home, and we can share our things with them.” Profound for a [then] 4-year-old, but I didn’t want to get her hopes up, so I just diverted the conversation…
When did you first meet your son? What was that experience like?
To be totally honest, when we got the call that there was a placement possibility, I panicked. It came right in the middle of all the media craziness of awards season. I just didn’t understand why the universe was deciding a child needed to be with us now. Of all times! I was so afraid I would be bringing a child into this insanity, and I didn’t know how we could keep him safe and quiet. But Jesse told me to remember why I felt our child was in New Orleans, and why we started the process to begin with. The first time I met Louis it was like the whole outside world just got quiet. He was so small, so still. All the trivial things that I had allowed to take up so much of my time just didn’t have room in life anymore. All I said when I met him was, “Oh there you are.” It was like he had always been a part of our lives.
Life just shifted to be about Louis and what we needed for him. No hiccup. It just fit, and I never had another moment of worry again.
How did you tell your loves ones?
All that mattered was that the kids were okay with it, and I couldn’t have imagined a sweeter and happier response. They knew this had to be kept quiet, and I knew how hard it was going to be, especially when you are just bursting at the seams with pride and you want to scream it at everyone you see and meet.
We told only a handful of family and friends, and it then became their mission to make sure Louis was safe and happy and had everything he needed. You have no idea how many contraptions exist that supposedly keep your baby safe and entertained so you can just get a five-minute shower. We have them all. And he couldn’t ask for better siblings who love him with all their heart.
How did you decide on his name?
It was one of those first names that came to mind. Louis Armstrong’s song “What a Wonderful World” kept playing in my head when I looked at him, so Louis just seemed to stick…
Why did you keep it a secret?
So, so, so many reasons. The biggest being that the outside world was a little crazy then. Photographers waiting outside 24/7, people everywhere. We didn’t want this to be in his life. I also didn’t want Louis pulled into the awards season energy. I wanted him all to myself. But I had to smile at the parallels. Here I was promoting a story about a family who adopted a son, and here we were having done the same thing. If you had told me that this would happen, I would have thought you were insane. I never imagined I would say the words “my son.” People that I had worked with for years couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t let them into my house for fittings. I would have them meet me at random hotels down the street from the house, claiming work was being done…
On the red carpet at awards shows, we usually were working on two to three hours of sleep and I could not tell you what I said in interviews or onstage. All we were thinking about was getting home to Louis…
How hard was it to have a new baby and keep it all hidden?
It was only hard when I walked out the door. I never though anyone we shared the info with would tell anyone, and they didn’t. I never thought anyone we shared the info with would tell anyone, and they didn’t. It was hard, however, to not be able to just tell anyone and everyone how much I loved this little man. And how happy I was when he drank 3 oz. How we found the perfect diaper trash can that didn’t let the smell leak out. These were the most important things in my life, and I had to zip it once I walked out the door. And of course praying that the doctor’s visit was not trailed by seven dark SUVs with tinted windows. But on Oscar night, in my purse all I brought was a picture of my mom and dad at their wedding, pictures of the kids and a little lime green sock of Louis’ that kept falling out. No one figured it out when they would pick it up and hand it back to me.
After the Oscars, you learned that Jesse had cheated. To set the record straight, you had no idea about his infidelity until you were told a tabloid was printing a story about it?
Ah, the inevitable question. I had no idea about anything until the day when I got the call. It seems like a thousand years ago when this happened. All I remember is thinking I need to get Louis out of here before the vultures descend. But never in a million years did I foresee something like this happening. I wish it hadn’t, and it still doesn’t seem real.
How did you react to the news?
I did the only thing I could do, and that was pack enough clothes to live on, get all of Louis’ things and get out of town. My main concern was Louis. I wasn’t sure if I could go into deeper hiding than I had already been in, but again, that small group of friends and family made it their life to make sure we all had what we needed to heal and be safe and make sense out of all of it. These beautiful people in my life made sure I had the safety to grieve and feel everything I needed to, away from the outside world. And I had hoped my being away would help keep the media away from the kids while I tried to sort things out.
Are you filing for divorce?
Yes, I have filed for divorce. I don’t know what else to say. I’m sad, and I am scared.
Are you going forward as a single parent? Will Jesse have any formal parenting role?
I will be adopting as a single parent. Anything else will be taken day by day.
How would you characterize your relationship with Jesse now?
A different one. A bittersweet one. One of new understanding. One of forgiveness. One of support for his recovery. One that changed my life. I really don’t know how our paths will intersect in the future, but the father I have known Jesse to be with all the kids is one I hope Louis can experience one day, no matter how Jesse and I go on with our lives.
You’ve been a devoted stepmother to Jesse’s kids. Do you plan for them to stay a part of your life?
I don’t want to know what life is like without those kids. Jesse and I both know these kids are all that matter. Whatever we need to do, in the healthiest way, we are going to be co-parenting. I know my role is not one that exists on paper, but Louis is their brother, and Jesse and I will do whatever it takes for them to know that their world will not change and still be protected and safe and full of love. It will just have a slightly different dynamic now…
Now that you’ve gone public, how will you balance motherhood with your career?
I don’t know. All I know is that I want to be able to enjoy being a mom. Doing all the things moms get to do, outside in the sun, in the world. The career will have to wait for a bit. I don’t want to step into that world until I can find what room I left my armor in. You need tough skin to be in this business…
Any plans for the near future?
Feeling the sun on our face when we go for a walk, not having to lie or hide anymore. Not having my friends and family lie anymore. Telling everyone I meet about the most beautiful man I know, including his poop schedule…
Is there a positive lessen you have taken away from the last months?
To say that I am changed is an understatement. But that might not be a bad thing. I have learned a lot about what I am and what I am not. But the most important thing to me was to protect and know my truth. And the truth is simple. The things I hold most dear are things that could not have happened without Jesse.
Maybe I needed this rug yanked out from under me so publicly so that I had no choice but to look at what I needed to look at, both inside and out. And maybe [her late mother] Helga had some hand in this. She knows how stubborn I am. Maybe I needed this to happen so that I could be the very best mother to Louis. We wouldn’t know the sweet mooments in life unless we had the pain. And painfully, I’m going to miss so much.
[From People Magazine, print edition, May 10, 2010]
If you haven’t read People yet, at least thumb through it at the grocery store. There’s so much more in the interview, and I know I’ve typed up a lot of it, but it’s even longer. I run a gossip blog yet I haven’t bought a People Magazine in months. They’ve been running really dumb covers featuring faux controversial headlines and people like Kate Gosselin, Heidi Montag, and The Duggars. The past few weeks they’ve had more human interest stories, though, with Elin Woods, Elizabeth Edwards and other women who are facing infidelity and life changing events. I’d love to see more covers with stories like Sandra’s, about women who go through the toughest times of their life and come out a little worse for wear but having gained things that will forever enrich their lives. No one is quite like Sandra, though, and it will be a long time, if ever, before People or any other outlet will be able to come up with a story this perfect.
This issue, and this interview, will go down in history as one of the most genuinely triumphant and touching entertainment stories of all time. Woman wins Oscar, she gets massively betrayed, she goes into hiding and comes out with a baby. If this was as a screenplay it would have felt false and too “Chicken Soup for The Soul” schmaltzy. With Sandra as the real life star it comes across as bitter sweet and true. She’s known as America’s Sweetheart for a very good reason.

She?s done her best to keep things under wraps regarding her decision to divorce cheating hubby Jesse James, but Sandra Bullock?s legal papers have been uncovered.
The ?Proposal? actress filed her paperwork in Austin, Texas under her initials, but instead of S.A.B, they appeared backwards- B.A.S.
Under grounds for the divorce, she wrote, "The marriage between Petitioner and Respondent has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectations of reconciliation."
As a result, the petition says, Bullock and James ?have ceased to live together as husband and wife."
Furthermore, "There is no child under eighteen years of age or otherwise entitled to support who was born or adopted of this marriage and none is expected."

Now that she’s kicked her whoremongering husband Jesse James to the curb, Sandra Bullock has a new man in her life — his name is Louis, and he’s black, and he hails from Ray Nagin’s magical Chocolate City. People Magazine says
Bullock reveals that she is the proud mother of Louis Bardo Bullock, a 3-month-old boy born in New Orleans. Bullock, 45, and husband Jesse James, 41, began the adoption process four years ago and brought Louis home in January but decided to keep the news to themselves until after the Oscars. Their close friends and family ? including James’s children Sunny, 6, Jesse Jr., 12, and Chandler, 15 ? were essential in keeping the adoption a secret.
Then, just 10 days after the March 7 Oscars, Bullock and James separated following reports James had cheated. Bullock says she is now adopting as a single parent.
Wait — I think I already saw this one. She uses her spunky Bible Belt can-do attitude to raise him to be a good Christian pro football player while making some insightful self-discoveries of her own. Running time: 120 minutes. Rated PG-13 for brief violence, drug and sexual references.
UPDATE: Read Jesse James’ official statement about the divorce and adoption after the jump.
Jesse revisiting the ‘tard yesterday:

“My whole life has been full of hard decisions.
“The decision to let my wife end our marriage, and continue the adoption of Louis on her own, has been the hardest. The love I have for Louis cannot be put to words. Not having him around to love and to hold has left a huge hole in my heart.
From People Magazine
“Sandy is the love of my life, but considering the pain and devastation I have caused her, it would be selfish to not let her go. Right now it is time for me to beat this addiction that has taken two of the things I love the most in life.
“I have always taken great pride in proving people wrong. That time has come once again to show that I am not what everyone says I am. I know in my heart that I can be the best father possible to my four children, and the mate Sandy deserves, and realize that this is an incredible mountain to climb. But I believe that the steps I have taken in the last 30 days are the foundation for making this happen. The lifelong commitment I am making is what being a real husband and father is all about.
“I ask that you please do not judge Sandy for the things I have done. She has done no wrong. She played no part in any of this. She has been an amazing wife, mother, and best friend, for the over 6 years we have been together.”

I know what you?re thinking? Julia Roberts is the World?s Most Beautiful again?!? But look down. Sandra Bullock adopted a baby! Apparently, according to People Mag (and thus, from Sandra Bullock), she and Jesse were going through the domestic adoption process for a while (some sources say years), and they finally brought their baby boy home in January. Sandra and Jesse decided to keep the baby (named Louis Bardo Bullock - probably Bullock-James at one point) a secret until after the awards season drama. So baby Louis is 3 months old. Even with all of the mistress and Nazi drama, they?ve managed to keep Louis a secret all this time? amazing.
In public, Sandra Bullock has been through the best and worst of times this year ? from winning her first Oscar to enduring the breakup of her marriage. In private, she was quietly keeping a joyful secret ? his name is Louis, and he is her newborn son.
Bullock reveals exclusively in the new issue of PEOPLE that she is the proud mother of Louis Bardo Bullock, a 3-month-old boy, born in New Orleans.
“It’s like he’s always been a part of our lives,” Bullock, 45, says. She and husband Jesse James, 41, began the adoption process four years ago and brought Louis home in January but decided to keep the news to themselves until after the Oscars.
Their close friends and family ? including James’s children Sunny, 6, Jesse Jr., 12, and Chandler, 15 ? were essential in keeping the adoption a secret.
Then, just 10 days after the March 7 Oscars, Bullock and James separated following reports James had cheated. Bullock says she is now adopting as a single parent.
For much more, including an in-depth interview with Bullock and exclusive photos of the star and her baby boy, pick up the new issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.
[From People]
Well, congratulations to Sandra. Since she?s now adopting as a single parent, that means that the adoption process is ongoing. What a secret, seriously. I heard the news on Good Morning America an hour ago and I?m still shocked. Not shocked that she adopted - I think Sandra will be a great mom, and I know she?s wanted a baby for a while. No, I?m just shocked that they decided to keep the adoption a secret, and then kept the secret successfully for so long. Even though I?m sure some people will think ?Poor Sandra? I really think she?s sending out the signal that even though some bad sh-t has happened, she?s still thrilled she?s now a mom, and that?s what matters to her.
Oh, right. And she filed for divorce too. Well done, Sandra.
