Always a favorite on the red carpet, Sandra Bullock has a few options for her choice of dress for the Oscars.
“I’ll wear a gunny sack and belt it or a potato sack or trash bag,” the Best Actress nominee told press, adding, “As long as you belt it, you’re fine.”
It’s been a big year for Bullock, as she has been nominated for Best Actress for her work in “The Blind Side.”
Adding about her fashion options, she says it’s “someone else’s job” to find the gowns and she’ll then “point and say I like that one” when choosing.
“Isn’t that funny that all they care about with the women is what dress they are wearing. I’m just glad I get to be a part of the [Academy Awards] company.” “The dress will find me. It always does.”

These are photos of Sandra Bullock at this year?s Santa Barbara Film Festival, where she picked up the American Riviera Award. First, I love Sandra?s dress. So, so pretty. It?s completely appropriate for the occasion, appropriate for her age and her aiming-for-classy style. The fit is amazing, and Sandra looks great. I hope that whatever stylist put her in this dress also dresses Sandra for the Oscars, because sometimes, Sandra can be a hot mess on the red carpet. Speaking of Sandra?s style, a website that tracks star fashions points to Bullock as the most-watched and copied woman for this year?s awards season. StyleSpot.com calls Bullock ?the Oscars’ Actress Most Likely to Sell Fashion.?
While accepting her award at the festival, Bullock told the audience that she?s very good at predicting the Oscar winners, and she predicts that she will not go home with a little gold man. She claims she ?already knows who?s going to win? but she won?t say. She probably thinks Meryl Streep will win, that?s my guess:
Sandra Bullock has news for anyone waiting to see her give an acceptance speech at the Academy Awards ? don’t hold your breath!
“I’m so not winning an Oscar,” Bullock, who received her first-ever nomination, as best actress for The Blind Side, told reporters at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival Friday, where she received the American Riviera Award for her influence on film.
Bullock considers herself an expert oddsmaker for the annual awards show, so she has strong feelings about her own chance for victory. “Nine times out of ten I always pick who’s going to win,” the actress, 45, said. “And I already know who’s going to win. I’m not going to say, but nine times out of ten, I’m right.”
Bullock isn’t practicing false humility. After all, she?s already won a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award this year. She?s just not overanxious to snag the trophy. “I have to say, all the ladies in our category, we don’t care who wins,” she said. “Someone’s going to win and the rest of us will be really happy for whoever won. We’re just happy to be here. And we like the company we’re in.”
Bullock admitted she has to push herself into enjoying the build-up to the Academy Awards. “It’s amazing how you are asked to hit the ground running the minute you hear the news,” she said. “It’s not like you can sit back and have bonbons and champagne.”
“I thought that’s what it was about,” she said. “I had it already. I said, ‘OK, where are the bonbons and champagne?’ No one brought me any. They just told me I had to work. So I’m like, ‘OK.’ ”
Everyday Tasks
“I’m so bad at taking in compliments or flattery,” she said. “I’m better taking in the bad than I am the good. So I’m trying very hard just to be present and enjoy the moments.”
She’s also embracing the everyday tasks at home which keep her grounded. “You go home and you have to pick up dog poop ? and we have a two-legged dog,” she says. “To me, that’s not mundane, though. Life is tricky enough that I actually love and embrace the normal day-to-day rituals. You get up, you make your coffee, read your paper, you do the school run, you go do your things. I’m just lucky that I get to do them.”

I like Sandra a lot, but I do think this is part of her Oscar campaign. There?s nothing wrong with that - humility works well when you?re campaigning-while-pretending-not-to-campaign. I think Sandra would love to win an Oscar, but that being said, I don?t think she would be completely devastated if she didn?t. Especially if she lost to Meryl Streep. How can you be upset if you lose an award to Meryl? Aren?t you just like ?Oh, of course. She?s an acting goddess, of course she won.?

Stepping out for night two of the International Film Festival, Sandra Bullock attended the annual fest on Friday night (February 5).
The “Blind Side” actress cooly walked the red carpet at the Arlington Theatre and later picked up the festival’s first big award of its 25th year, the American Riviera Award.
The award was established to recognize an actor who has had a strong influence on American cinema.
Following Sandra’s incredible award show winning-streak, she is unfortunately nominated for a not-so-hot award which is the Razzie for worst actress in her performance in “All About Steve.”

Predictably, the Oscar race for Best Actress is likely going to come down to Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock. They are the two women who have picked up all of the awards thus far - even tying at the Critics Choice Awards, where they first had a big public play-fight, then kissed and made up on the stage. I?ll admit that I don?t know the true feelings Sandra and Meryl have for or about each other, but I?ll admit that their play-fighting is cracking me up. I get the impression that they really do like each other, and neither would be hurt, offended or angry if the other won the Oscar. Thankfully, Sandra has a big mouth, and she told Us Weekly about the war of attrition she and Meryl are waging:
Expect the playful competition between Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep to heat up now that the two both nabbed Best Actress Oscar nods.
They’ve been facing off at nearly every awards show and even smooched when they tied for best actress at the Critics’ Choice Awards last month.
“With Meryl, when this whole thing started, I left her a voice mail going, ‘You’ve got to watch your back. I’m gonna cut you. I’m gonna take you down,’” Bullock tells the Associated Press. “And then she sent me dead orchids and told me to die, so I sent her a case of liquor and told her to toast to white trash.”
Kidding aside, Bullock, 45, said she has no ill will against the other nominees. (She is up against Julie & Julia’s Streep; An Education’s Carey Mulligan; The Last Station’s Helen Mirren and Precious’ Gabourey Sidibe.)
“You have to enjoy being with these women that you admire or love or like or have had friendships with or are just getting to know because you’ve got to take care of each other,” Bullock told the AP.
“No one, at least the people that I’ve met, no one cares about the end result or the statue,” she added. “It’s being able to sit in close proximity with these ladies … and we have to go through this whole rigamarole and we just all look at each other and we get to know each other and you laugh at the absurdity of it all and how they pit women up against each other.”
How did she feel about also being nominated as worst actress of the year for All About Steve from the Golden Raspberry Foundation, host of the annual Razzies. She is honored.
“If I win, I am so showing up,” she told USA Today. “I have to enjoy that as much as getting an Oscar nomination. It is the great balance in our business.”

Okay, the part about ?I sent her a case of liquor and told her to toast to white trash? is hilarious. I?ve never heard that before, and I?m totally going to steal it. I love, love, love that Meryl and Sandra are having fun with their ?war? and I also love that Sandra doesn?t take herself so seriously that she?s offended by the Razzie nomination. To be fair to Sandra, I don?t think it?s her year at the Razzies. That bitch belongs to Megan Fox.

As Sandra Bullock makes the awards show rounds there’s still some minor drama brewing for her at home. There’s a custody battle going on between Sandra’s husband, Jesse James, and his porn star ex, Janine Lindemulder, who served six months for tax evasion last year. Lindemulder and James have a five year old daughter, Sunny, who has been staying with Bullock and James since her mother served time starting in January. We’ve heard from Lindemulder at least twice, on Good Morning America and in Life & Style, in public bids to earn more custody time with her daughter. In response, James’ lawyer issued a terse statement telling Lindemulder not to drag Sandra Bullock into the custody battle with his client. Meanwhile Lindemulder is back to “acting” in adult films and is now married to an ex con with a long rap sheet including federal drug convictions.
Anyway Lindemulder has had all visitation rights with Sunny revoked following a hearing in which her parenting was characterized as erratic. She’s missed scheduled visitation time and scheduled calls with Sunny according to what James told the court:
At a hearing today in the contentious custody battle between Sandra Bullock’s current hubby and his former missus, a judge ordered that Lindemulder be allowed to make daily phone calls to her 6-year-old daughter, Sunny, who currently resides full-time with the famous couple.
“No visitation rights were granted at this point,” Orange County Superior Court spokeswoman Carol Levitzky told E! News. James and Lindemulder, currently serving a four-month stint in a halfway house for violating her parole in a tax-evasion case, were both present for the proceedings; Bullock was not.
However, the phone time ruling didn’t come without resistance from James.
“She texts at least twice and up to 20 times a day, demanding to talk to Sunny,” he said of his ex. “But sometimes she’ll go a week at a time where she doesn’t make a call.
“[Lindemulder] has no filter on what she tells [Sunny] about prison. There’s a lot of conversation about prison or jail and things that I don’t think a 6-year-old can comprehend or process.”
James also noted in court that while Lindemulder had fought for (and won) Christmas custody of the girl, she never materialized on the holiday, and in fact had missed four of her past five scheduled visits.
The hearing was continued to June 14, and while the judge praised James and Lindemulder for being able to make positive progress despite the media attention, both were ordered to undergo joint counseling once a month.
[From E! Online]
It’s probably in Sunny’s best interests that she have limited contact with her mom if all of this is true. It’s still so sad to hear about someone losing visitation with their child. As a mother, you feel for other moms who can’t see their children. There are plenty of people in this world who aren’t fit parents though, and it sounds like Sunny has a loving and supportive home with Bullock and James.

When Madonna kissed Britney Spears or Adam Lambert did the same to one of his male backup dancers, I knew that these were two Hollywood celebs trying to create a controversy. They are both known to make a living out of being the focus of attention by doing things that Bible-hugging people do not like. Not that I think there is anything wrong with two girls kissing but the last two ladies on the earth that I expected to kiss in public were Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep. They are fine actresses and do not need this sort of controversy. Having said that it is nice to see that women of all ages can now give each other a smooch on the lips or even lock their lips in a long, wet French kiss.

Sandra Bullock has donated $1 million to relief for victims of last Tuesday's earthquake in Haiti, according to Variety.com. The Golden Globe winner's donation matches the contributions of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, the site reported, as well as George Clooney, who will host MTV's "Hope for Haiti"
telethon, which airs Friday at 8 p.m. ET/ PT on MTV and other networks.
Variety also reported that supermodel Gisele Bundchen has donated $1.5 million to Haitian earthquake relief, and that Madonna has said she's donated $250,000.
"I would say, 'Get involved, whatever you do,' " Clooney told MTV News
at the Golden Globes red carpet on Sunday. "This is about compassion. There are times in our lives when people are really without help and in real danger, and this is one of those times. So whatever they can do — give money to one of the organizations that they like the best."
Clooney, Wyclef Jean and CNN's Anderson Cooper have joined as hosts for Friday's event that will broadcast from New York and Haiti, respectively, while Clooney will be in Los Angeles. The show will air commercial-free across ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN, BET, the CW, HBO, MTV, VH1 and CMT on Friday, January 22, at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
A number of musicians are set to perform on the show and Clooney hopes to make the tracks available the day after the telethon to ensure that more money is being made to help aid survivors of the earthquake. "We're going to have a lot of great musicians — we're putting them together as we speak," he explained. "And then we'll be able to release the songs on iTunes the next day, so that they'll be a continuing ability to make money for several of the charities." More details on performers and participants are expected to be announced shortly.
All donations will directly benefit Oxfam America, Partners in Health, Red Cross, UNICEF and Wyclef's Yele Haiti Foundation. Facebook and MySpace have signed on as official social-media partners to help steer viewers to the telethon and drive donations.

Much like I predicted yesterday, Sandra Bullock is well on her way to becoming this year?s Erin Brockovich-esque success story. Bullock was one of the big winners last night at the People?s Choice Awards, helping The Proposal take home ?Favorite Comedy? (jointly with Ryan Reynolds) and picking up ?Favorite Actress Drama? for The Blind Side. Sandra was warm and funny throughout the evening, even though several people were making jokes at her expense. Ellen Degeneres cracked one about how she (Ellen) had won eleven People?s Choice Awards, saying ?One for every one of Sandra Bullock?s toes.? George Lopez, who is Bullock?s friend and former boss, joked that she was one of ?five white women who hasn?t slept with Tiger Woods.? When she won for The Blind Side, Bullock got emotional as she said: “I am only up here because I am fortunate to work with people who make me look good? and most of all to my family?Life is hard sometimes, but we get through with laughter.” She also thanked her family and wished her father well- it sounds like he?s health is failing, so hopefully he?ll be doing better soon!
As far as fashion went, the People?s Choice was rather boring. Most of the women wore boring black or white cocktail dresses, but there were some exceptions. Mariah Carey picked up an award for ?Favorite R&B singer? and it took her so long to get on stage because of her epic white dress. Plus, I don?t think Mariah knows how to walk. She get carried everywhere. Nick Cannon even had to go on stage to help fuss with her dress. It was ridiculous! Oh, well. At least she wasn?t sh-tfaced again.

This week’s Life & Style promises an “exclusive” and features Sandra Bullock on the cover with the title “Fighting for My Kid.” Inside, L&S does have an exclusive - with porn star Janine Lindemulder, the mother of five year old Sunny with her ex and Sandra Bullock’s husband, Jesse James. Lindemulder is fighting for “expanded visitation rights” with her daughter, Sunny, who has been under the care of James and Bullock since January when Lindemulder began to serve six months in jail for tax evasion. James and Bullock take the position that Lindemulder is an unfit parent, and that Sunny is best left in their custody. Lindemulder has remarried, to a convicted felon with a long rap sheet. According to court papers filed by James before her incarceration, Lindemulder was sometimes so drugged out that she was leave Sunny alone during the day while she slept it off.
Lindemulder went on Good Morning America last month pleading to Sandra Bullock to sit down and talk to her about Sunny, saying “What would give her the right to take away my daughter? This is my daughter. I?m the best mother I can be.” In response, James’ lawyers issued a statement that Lindemulder’s beef was with James, not Bullock, and that she should bring her issues to court instead of the press.
In her GMA appearance, Lindemulder claiming she was pursuing a career as a tattoo artist. In the latest issue of In Touch, she confirms that she’s back to doing porn and says she’s “good at it” and it’s basically the only career she knows. She also talks some smack about how James wanted nothing to do with Sunny the first three years of her life, and claims that someone hacked into her e-mail account and deleted e-mail from James proving that he didn’t want the girl:
On staying in porn: “I like my job. I’m good at it. I’ve been a porn star for 23 years. It’s what I did right out of high school. If I won the lottery, would I do it? No. I don’t see myself in this for very much longer.”
On making too little to support her daughter: “That’s why I’m not going into the courtroom saying I want her completely now. But I do have 50 percent legal custody.”
On child support from Jesse: “I’m not getting any money from Jesse. What would make him happy is if I just vanished off the planet. I’m in fear of what Jesse’s capable of doing. [I suspect that] he had a hacker erase 30 e-mails from when Sunny was born. The e-mails said, ‘I don’t want Sunny to have my last name. Find her a new daddy.’ After he showed no interest in the first six months, I moved to Oregon. He said, ‘Good, the farther, the better.’ He wanted nothing to do with Sunny for three years of her life.”
On Sandra Bullock: “We haven’t even had a conversation. They couldn’t care less what I have to say. They changed Sunny’s school a while ago and didn’t tell me. I found out from Sunny.”

The more this woman talks, the more it seems like her daughter should stay with Bullock and James. I get that she deserves to see her daughter and I don’t think her career choice should affect a judge’s decision either way. She didn’t pay taxes for six years in a row and went to jail for it, and she’s married to a guy who has been convicted on state and federal charges “involving alcohol, guns and the manufacturing of narcotics.” Those are huge strikes against her whether she’s a porn star or not.
It looks like a judge shares my opinion. In a recent court ruling Lindemulder was denied overnight visits with Sunny and must see her daughter during the day. She was granted Christmas Eve with Sunny, though, that’s something.

Having some sad holiday news, Jesse James and wife Sandra Bullock will not be spending time with Sunny, Jesse’s daughter, after a judge ruled in favor of his ex-wife, Janine Lindemulder.
Witnesses said, “Jesse sat quietly in court and let his lawyer to do the talking, while his ex represented herself. She was told she could pick up Sunny at 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve and return her by 6 p.m. the next day, but her husband, Jeremy Aikman, a two-time felon, won’t be allowed to be there.”
Sandra has been helping raise Sunny since January, when Lindermulder was imprisoned for tax evasion. Since released, there have been problems in custody.
Lindermulder’s request to have regular sleepovers was denied, but an exception was made for the holidays, which Jesse’s lawyer tried to fight back upon due to Web-cam porn that was happening in her home-but the judge sided with Lindermulder.
