Sandra Bullock has been through more than anyone can imagine over the past few months, so it's no wonder she's planning a major change. The Oscar-winning actress is packing up and leaving the drama-filled city of Los Angeles in order to get away from her soon-to-be ex-husband Jesse James and the wreckage he brought forth with his infidelity. Where's Sandra going, plus insight from her friends ... after the jump!First Sandra Bullock leaves her man, and now she's leaving Hollywood for good.
"Sandra hates the fakeness of Hollywood and doesn't want to raise her little boy in that environment," a friend of the actress tells me.
But it's not just Los Angeles that Sandra wants to escape. She also wants to get away from Jesse and all the women that he cheated on her with in the "City of Angels."
"The whole place is so toxic for her that she just wants to get away and start over. Jesse's businesses are in LA and the thought of what went on inside that building makes Sandra sick. Plus, Jesse's tattooed mistress, Bombshell McGee, is in Los Angeles trying to capitalize on her 15 minutes of fame. It's best for Sandra to sell her house and get away from these people."
Just this week, McGee made an appearance on The Howard Stern Show to discuss and defend her now-infamous fling with James, which she said came out of "boredom." During the interview, she went on to discuss in lurid detail how they'd have sex three or four times in a night, and that James always refused to go outside of his office with her.
McGee even gave an interview to Philadelphia's local Fox affiliate, claiming that she's "felt really sad for Sandra" once she saw the PEOPLE cover debuting her new baby. "You know, adopting a baby, I really felt for her. I felt bad. You know, it's a baby, it's supposed to be a happy time for her and she's dealing with all of this mess. So, I wish her the best," McGee said in the interview.
When asked how it felt that she'll forever be known as a "home-wrecker," McGee took the harsh question in stride. ""Since you put it so nicely, yes, it sucks that I'm going to be known for that but, you know, what am I – what am I going to do?" she retorted. Watch the video >>>
Sources tell me that Sandra plans to split her time between her beloved Austin, Texas, and an old Victorian house she purchased in baby Louis' birth town of New Orleans. And as far as going back to work, friends say, "She might never make another film again. Now her life is about her son and finding happiness again."
As much as we'd love to see you get back into Oscar mode, take all the time you need to make yourself happy again, Sandy. We'll wait patiently!
Heidi Montag Needs Help, Not Surgery
Friends of reality star Heidi Montag are so concerned about her addiction to plastic surgery that they are begging her husband, Spencer Pratt, to intervene and stop his wife from getting even more surgery.
"What Heidi needs is help not more surgery," a friend of the troubled Heidi tells me. "She is so insecure she thinks more plastic surgery will make her happy. But if she didn't find what she was looking for after 13 procedures, I don't think the 14th will help."
And while Spencer doesn't seem willing to intervene, he is happy to blame Ryan Seacrest, of all people, for his wife's obsession with plastic surgery, telling Life & Style: "When Heidi entered the studio, Ryan told her that her breasts didn't look that big. She came home in shock."
Spencer, stop playing the blame game and get your wife some help. Or at least tell her she's beautiful so she can feel confident with her new self.
Jake Still Misses Reese
Five months after his painful split from Reese Witherspoon, sources tell me that Jake Gyllenhaal still misses her and her children.
"Reese was without any doubt the love of Jake's life. He took the breakup hard and still isn't ready to move on yet," a friend of Jake's tells me. "As much as he would love to have remained friends and see her and her children, it was just too painful. They have little contact with each other, which is probably for the best."
Don't worry, Jake. Something tells me you will be just fine.

You are a tool ~ and obviously a low life LIKE Jesse!
Out of all the hollywood silliness out there, I wish Sandra a happy life ahead, as she , from what I can see, is far more 'real' than the others.
Reply
My heart goes out to you Sandra...only you know what you need to do, and your fans support you in whatever you decide...
Remember, your movie, "Practical Magic" ,any man who falls in love with an Owens woman...however, that movie had a happy ending, and your life will too, if you know where to look.

Leaving Hollywood would have to be the best thing ANYONE could do for themsleves, not just Bullock. Never in the world has there been such a cesspool of meaningless, self-absorbed and irrelavent people, well....maybe Washington D.C. runs a close second these days?
Reply
HEY NOW , we're not all cesspool maggets in D.C - your just referring to those who live here but aren't from here !! ( actually there this sign up before you get into D.C that reads " If you can read this , You must not be from around here "
Wow. I am really surprised about the extreme negativity. This is a woman who has done nothing wrong. She married a man that she loved and trusted, does her job with enough skill that she wins awards for it and adopts a baby to give him a life filled with love. Now that she wants to leave a painful, and probably stressful, environment and concentrate on herself and her new child for a minute, you are all spewing these hateful things. It's truly shocking and quite sad.

I couldn't agree with you more. So many people... so much hatred.. I think some people need to take a look in the mirrors. Hollywood actors/actresses lives are always under scrutiny. They always have someone sticking a camera in their face. Fans wanting an autograph. Sandra Bullock has done nothing wrong. She wants to take her child out of the cesspool of Hollywood life for a normal life. She is a Woman full of Love. For all of you that do not like her as an actress... to judge her as a person.. one that you have never met is not our place. That is like judging a book by its cover. You can not tell a book by the cover, so Unless you have personally Met Sandra Bullock and know her then and only then do you have the right to judge her. Shame on all of you.
There's one thing about it, she could care less what U bad news people think. She's a strong woman who came up from the bottom to the top and can buy and sell you if she wanted to. Go for it Sandra you and your new baby are right on. Love it.

First let me say that love doesnt have a color. Families are made up of more than one. Also there are not alot of caucasian babies given up for adoption. It doesnt matter what color a child is as long as there is love.

Lighten up there Mario your stupidity and jealousy are showing bog time. Get a life.

I wish she would just leave so we can concentrate on the REAL news.

I am amazed at how ignorant and racist people are in this day and time. Hats off to Sandra for seeing beyond color! Unfortunately when you are in show business, your entire life is an open book...how sad that people don't have enough going on in their own lives that they can't stay out of lives of others. The media needs to take a step back and look at what news really is....Who cares if Sandra moves from Hollywood, if Miley Cyrus makes a sexy video, if Brittany is messing up again.....the list is endless.....I can't believe people actually make money selling these stories....There are much bigger problems in this world than these celebrities!!
Reply
you said it,when your a celebrity,you make it everyones buisness!
She should move back to Lake Travis in Austin with Matthew Mc.
They were both happier there with each other and the people of Texas who are REAL... Sometimes, in order to move on, ya' gotta step back..

boy,it sure wasnt freaky and fake when she was making millions in hollywood,guess she needs more attention.
Reply
Ditto.....All of a sudden it's fake. go figure. She'll go back. she'll need to money again one day.
Funny thing is, things like this happen to women of all backgrounds and financial status. Most of them don't have the luxury of going into hiding or choosing to split their time between 2 homes. Ms. Bullock is a decent actress, but doesn't deserve any more special treatment than the rest of us. When Jane Doe gets cheated on or divorced she has to put the kids to bed, get some sleep and get up in the morning and go to work. And you can bet it isn't making a movie.

I was addressing TORI's statement!

I know a lot of people that have been through much worse than Sandra Bullock and they didn't have the money to have a home in Texas and another in Louisiana! No one deserves to be cheated on, but she had to know something. I really don't think we need to hear about her every move. She is just an everyday person whose job just happens to be acting. She is no one special and we don't need a daily news flash about her.
