By all accounts, it was a regular Monday morning at Sandra Bullock and Jesse James' Hollywood mansion. That was, until Bullock's publicist called with the devastating news that could potentially change the Oscar-winner's life forever. After the jump, the exclusive story about how the awful news was broken to Sandra."In Touch magazine had called Sandra's publicist Monday morning to let her know the magazine was going to print an explosive cover story ... saying her husband was cheating," a source at the magazine told me. "At first, camp Sandra dismissed the story until they understood that the magazine had the alleged mistress, tattoo model Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee, on the record telling all."
By the end of the day Monday, Sandra had moved out of the mansion in California and pulled out of her London event to promote 'The Blind Side,' feeling blindsided herself.
"Sandra had no idea that all of this was going on. Not a clue," a friend of the actress tells me. "Now she is with family hoping for privacy. It's bad enough for any woman to find out that her husband has been cheating on her, but to find out from your publicist and then have it on the cover of a national magazine is heartbreaking."

Sandra is a strong woman. I have been through bad break ups myself and one of her films have always got me through. "Hope Floats" ... You're an amazing woman. You can make it through this. Follow your heart.

shame shame. Being a motorcyclist myself and watching all the custom bike builders out there, there were two that stood out for me. One was Jesse James and the other Billy Lane. Billy drove drunk and killed a motorcyclist and is doing time and Jesse, well, we'll see what really happened. What people don't understand is that we all have vises. "All". Men and women are wired differently. Look at women around you in and out of your life and notice that their toes have to be done, with a toe ring, with a ankle bracelet, with tight low cut jeans or a mini skirt, showing there lower back tattoo, their low cut shirt, bellybutton ring, multiple earrings, make up, lipstick, plucked eyebrows, hair made up, nails done, etc.etc. and they're just going to wash clothes. Sandra was not this women, that's for sure. But women in general are fine just knowing that they can get a rise from men, Men on the other hand are not fine until they have conquered a new woman. Right or not, we ARE animals, that's how we are, men and women, otherwise be mad at every other animal. Why does your dog act like a dog? Why can't your dog be a dog and act like a cat? Just because we wear clothes doesn't mean anything, it's just a disguise of what we are inside, just look at your politicians, corporate CEO's, etc,etc. As beautiful as Sandra is, there was probably something she didn't do that he liked but was afraid to ask, like have sex while dressed like a nazi lol.

Let's face it ladies. Most men use their little head instead of the big one. Luckily, I am married to a decent man.

So so sorry for Sandra. She is genuine, not a fake like so many. He has to be the biggest fool ever to walk the earth... "Bombshell" -- what a PIG. Pretty sad state of affairs if you just GOTTA cheat... and that's the best thing you can find? What a freaking idiot.

What a dumbass! You had america's sweetheart and threw it away for a scank with a tattoo on her freakin' forehead? After she busted her ass to help you get your daughter? Do you even know what love is? Apparently not! You just threw it out the window.

I had the opportunity to meet Sandra once in 2001. I live in Austin and as a live music nut, bumped into Sandra (literally) at a local music spot. She was gracious, friendly, and absolutely charming. I can tell you that I melted right then and there at her stunning beauty. We exchanged a few smiles as her then boyfriend was playing...and had she not been THE Sandra Bullock, I would've asked her out. She is clearly a quality person.
Jesse James must be one hell of an insecure guy to have done what hes done, especially with such a skank. I watched the clip of her acceptace at the Academy Awards and all I can say is that I can only hope that someday, someone looks at me with such adoration. What a dumb ass!

Whatever happend to the days where a mistress hung their head in shame?!?!?! Men slip. Weman slip. What makes it a worse situation than it really is, is the fact that this "MISTRESS" couldnt keep it to herself and had to go public. We would have never heard a peep from Jesse or Sandra, if this indeed DID happen. Shame on you Bombshell, for being greedly!

His mistress with the full body tatoo in the viedo wouldn't get a hornytoad moist. She/He, I'm just saying with the ink all over her neck it's hard to see the adams apple. Her body reminded me of a tall 7 year old boy.
With one swift blow to the stomach you knocked the wind out of her she can't breath or speck from the pain of your betrayal. It's been reported you didn't care enough to protect her by wearing protection. Really, Jessie?
Did you do unto her as she did unto you? easy rule, forever broken by you.

NYC Badboy, Well said, this can only work if you're a mut or a stray, there's a cost for being a pedigree. I've been with a married man for 20 years, I don't call or text him. I don't know his wifes name or his now grown children's. We've always used protection, and I see him less than 1 hour 1 to 2x a week at my house after work and not on weekends, he lives about 1hour away. I'm unmarried but have been in relationships on and off thru the years. there's always two sides thanks or giving the other.

Sandra Bullock is the greatest, my thoughts & prayers go out to her..

I'm sorry that Sandra has to go through this. Yet hard to believe she didn't expect this when she married him considering his history. Even harder to believe she didn't know this before it came to public's knowledge. Sometimes we lose our head or choose to be blind over love or loneliness. Jesse, however, is a total low life. He does whatever it takes for fame. What does he need a publist for?! He's NOBODY but a shame to the human race had he not married Sandra.
