Sandra Bullock's Leaving Hollywood for Good

By Rob Shuter Posted May 6th 2010 02:01AM

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.

Sandra Bullock is not the first person to see Hollywood for the
lie and illusion that it is. I would of left long ago if I were her but sometimes its just hard to turn your back on something you have worked at for so long. Hollywood needs Sandra and Sandra does not need Hollywood so have a good life Sandra
I don't think you will miss it even a little.

I'm sorry but all I have heard from Sandra is how she is going to be a part Jesse's children's lives, well you can't do that and move away from them at the same time. I know he hurt you terribly but they didn't and you can't take their brother away from them either. Don't talk family values if you don't or can't back them up. Sandra Bullock is not the only woman in the world who has been hurt by their spouse, people survive. But the children they might not get over it, think about them and move on from her.

By What?

She can be a part of Jesse's kids' lives from anywhere in the world. Plus she can change her mind and not be involved at all. Seeing HIS kids may mean that she has to deal with him and that's something I can understand her not wanting to do.

By Michele

All but one of those children are old enough to know and find out what their daddy did. They can make up their own minds that he's no good, definitely no better than their biological alcoholic porn star mother. They were doomed from the start genetically speaking, at least whatever part of their environment will be spent with Sandra Bullock will be sane, clean and moral. Once older, they can choose which parent to be closest to.

When you said Bullock planning a major change, I thought she was planning to do a Michael Jackson Bleach job on her adopted kid.

By Mary

I hate that Sandra is considering not doing any more films. I will miss her movies. I know she has been through so much and if getting out of Hollywood is going to make her happy and give her time with her new son....DO IT! I wish her all the best!!!!
I will miss her

By rich

I have been there' you are doing the wright thing buy starting over.good luck and take your time. best to you sandra.

By Sharon

If she felt so bad for Sandra why did she humiliate her by going public. She could have just ended the affair but she chose to put it in all the papers to further rub in it. All of these women do the same thing to get their names in the magazines and sell their stories. The men are bad enough but the women skanks make it worse.

By robeta

I absolutely adore Sandra!!!!! I have her and that beautiful baby boy i my thoughts daily. I only wish her health and happiness. She will certainly be missed on the large and small screen, but she is doing the right thing by focusing on that precious baby and her own mental health. I do hope that she will return to work in the future. She is a smart, beautiful, sophisticated young woman with a lot of talent and heart.

By gerry

Finally. That woman has a brain. Don't throw out the trash, this time, just leave it behind.

By dale mcsherry

I totally understand - I went thru the same thing with a wife that was unfaithful with multiple sex partners and most were low life idiots or druggies somewhat like that nazi one - and ended up being a single parent. I'm a doctor btw and was trying to make a good life for my family - I shed tears for Sandra as I totally understand what this quality lady is going thru and support her in making very good decisions during these trying times. btw I found a wonderful wife and I have a great family - so Sandra life will get better for you sweetie.

By Joe

She should move to IOWA

By ed baggett

Running away is not the answer...why not stay & face the music ?

I'm a huge fan of Sandra and wish her nothing but peace, happiness and a whole, healed heart. But to say that she has been through something worse than anyone can imagine is just stupid--ask Elin Woods, ask John Edwards wife, ask Bob Sanford's wife or just ask ME! There are a lot of women who can imagine exactly what Sandra is going through because they have already been there. It sucks beyond bearing.

Special Needs?

Sandra is such a FINE HUMAN being, one who does not hesitate to take on serious responsibility, that I would not be surprised if her baby son is a "special needs" child (one with illness(es).

In any event she's so fine that they're both lucky to have each other.

Congrats on your sweet baby, Sandra!

p.s. I don't understand the HATE-MONGERING on this thread. How is it that all these people [mostly men] can hate a wonderful woman for NO REASON!!! By the way, you're wrong about "her not giving you water if you were dying" crap!!!

SANDRA HAS (quietly) REPEATEDLY GIVEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO HELP CATASTROPHE VICTIMS both here in the U.S. and around the world. New Orleans is just ONE place that she supports.

I'd be very interested in just WHAT the HATE MONGERS have done for those in need (whether human or animal.)

By lib

McGee, a homewrecker? Wasn't J.J. seeing other women before she came along? She is the one that revealed what he was doing behind Bullock's back, or else they would still be living a lie.

"What am I gonna do?"............Honey, keep your legs together and your mouth shut!

By Will R

Sandra, take as much time as you feel you need, but Please, Please, Pretty Please, don't go away from filmmaking forever. Don't make us all suffer for the for the stupidity of a few.

That Michelle McGee is a dog, she is just plain UGLY. It so fits since she's been in heat for that dawg Jesse to mount. Two mongrels rutting, they deserve each other.
