People Magazine v. Us Magazine: Who Ripped Who Off?

I’m not sure which magazine you will buy this weekend, considering they are exactly the same!  I realize that all of the tabloids are covering Sandra Bullock, but Us Magazine and People Magazine pretty much have the exact same cover, right down to the picture of Sandra Bullock.  How is it possible that out of all the Sandra Bullock pictures out there, the two leading magazines picked the same one?  Someone is guilty, and I want to know who it is.  Even the color choices are the same!  Click on the links below and judge for yourself.  As an aside, this issue was addressed in the film ’13 Going on 30′ once, and the magazine names were changed for the film.  Fast forward to the 3:30 mark in the clip below to see what I am talking about.

‘Team Sandra’ Shirts Sell-Out at Kitson

I guess this is what happens when you cheat on a Hollywood sweetheart.  The whole country will turn against you eventually. Kitson, a clothing store on Robertson that has become well known because of celebrity shoppers, has started selling ‘Team Sandra’ T-shirts, and they are predictably lucrative for the store.  Kitson is also well-known for their previous Team Aniston and Team Angelina T-shirts in the midst of the Brangelina scandal.  Though I didn’t like the Aniston v. Angelina nonsense, this ‘Team Sandra,’ shirt is an idea I can get behind. 

Sandra Bullock the Entrepreneur? – Who Knew?

Amidst all of this craziness, we are learning much more about Sandra Bullock.  She apparently has a great love for the city of Austin, and she recently opened a place there, called Walton’s Fancy and Staple.  The place serves as a deli, florist, and catering operation.  She also owns Bess Bistro in Austin.  She completely renovated Walton’s from what was formerly a stagecoach depot, partly because she has a passion for restoring old buildings.  Of renovating the building, Bullock once said “in the end, I might not make a dime. … But look at what we’ve done to this building. That’s an investment and payoff all on its own.”  She also said that the acting is to fund the work she does in Austin.  I love her!

Breaking News: How Sandra Bullock Found out About the Affair

Gosh, this is so horrible.  Here is the breakdown: whenever Hollywood tabloids are going to run a damaging story, the publicist is called a couple of days before the magazine goes to print.  This way, the star is warned and the publicist can do damage control.  In Touch Magazine called Bullock’s publicist on Monday to notify her of the story.  The publicist then called Bullock to break the news.  Bullock reportedly moved out of the house that day.  My guess is that Jesse James immediately came clean.  There has been a lot of speculation that Jesse James couldn’t handle Bullock’s recent career upswing.  If the mistress’ story is true, then the affair went on while Bullock was filming ‘The Blind Side.’  The filming was obviously prior to awards season, so Bullock was just as famous as she always was.  Hence, the theory doesn’t make sense.  I also speculated that Bullock knew about the affair prior to awards season but they held off announcing the split until things settled down.  Popeater has exclusively debunked that theory.  She allegedly knew nothing until Monday. 

HOLY MOLY: JESSE JAMES ADMITS TO THE AFFAIR

WOW!  I was hoping this was just tabloid gossip but apparently not.  Jesse James released a statement to People, basically confirming the rumors.  He said,   “There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me.  It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way.  This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me.”  How sad!  Can’t a woman have both a booming career AND a successful personal life?  

Sandra Bullock Pulls out of London Premiere of ‘The Blind Side’

This is crazy.  Sandra Bullock has pulled out of the UK premiere of ‘The Blind Side.’  The premiere was set for next Tuesday, but Warner Bros. canceled it after Bullock pulled out due to “unforeseen personal circumstances.”  The tabloids are growing crazy with speculation that Jesse James cheated on Bullock while she was filming ‘The Blind Side.’  This might strike you as nuts considering she just discussed her happy marriage on Barbara Walters’ Oscar special.  Not that I believe it, but keep in mind that that Oscar special is filmed quite some time before the Oscars, and it just looks current because of when it is aired.
