Jesse James' apology tour starts this week, as the reality star's infidelity imploded his marriage to Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock, leaving him to become the "most hated man in the world" (his words!). So what's behind his televised confession and apology this week? Jesse's friends are telling me that it's mostly monetary, and others are saying that despite being so close to the scandal, Sandra won't be one of the millions tuning in to see him fess up.
Sandra Bullock Won't Be Watching Jesse's Apology

The Jesse James Confession Show
Jesse James' exclusive interview on 'Nightline' tonight is expected to garner monster ratings for ABC, but one person that definitely WILL NOT be watching is his soon to be ex-wife, Sandra Bullock.
"Jesse has caused Sandra enough pain already," a friend of Sandra's tells me. "Hasn't he done enough damage already? Now he's going to 'tell all' on national TV and humiliate her once again. Why?"
That's a fair question that only I can answer. Friends of Jesse tell me he is getting pressured by his handlers to do the interview. All of his business ventures have plummeted since the news broke about his cheating.
"The public doesn't want anything to do with Jesse or the products he sells that have made him a fortune. Jesse's Girl clothing line, and sales at his Burger restaurant, Cisco, have dropped," an insider tells me. "He has gone from being the coolest guy in the room to the most hated guy in America over night. His business advisers are hoping this interview will be the first of many steps to rehabilitating him and his brands."
Good luck with that, Jesse. My dad always told me a gentleman doesn't kiss and tell, and goodness knows you have done enough kissing.
Angelina Jolie to Get Wicked as 'Oz' Witch?
Following the massive box office success of the live action version of 'Alice In Wonderland,' film insiders tell me several versions of 'The Wizard of Oz' are being rushed into development. While a handful are in the works, the one that has got Hollywood the most excited has Angelina Jolie attached to it to play the Wicked Witch of the West.
"Angelina as the Wicked Witch would be perfect casting," an Academy Award-winning casting director tells me. "She is not only the biggest movie star in the world, but Angie is also a brilliant actress who isn't afraid to play someone evil."
Fingers crossed. And I have the perfect suggestion for Glinda the good witch ... Jennifer Aniston! Oh, what a world!
Oprah's Tears of Joy for John Travolta
Sources tell me that the first person to call and congratulate the Travoltas on their wonderful pregnancy news was none other than Miss Oprah Winfrey. (Did I mention PopEater knew of the pregnancy before the great Oprah?)
"Oprah is just as thrilled about the baby as John," a friend of the Travoltas tells me. "She was literally screaming down the phone when the news broke, and the first to call the happy couple to congratulate them."
It's true that John's friendship with Oprah is deep and goes back many, many years. And by all accounts, Oprah has been a great friend, comforting the couple after the tragic loss of their son, Jett, and celebrating after John's Oscar nomination for 'Pulp Fiction.'
Watch out Gail, you can't compete with an adorable new baby.

Sandra Bullock won't be the only one not watching Jesse's "apology", I won't be wasting my time with that skank either... on another note, I am so happy for John Travolta and his wife. I wish them a safe and healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.

Sandra,run for your life!Don't have anything to go do with Jesse (he just wants your money),his ex-wife,his mistresses!They are all nasty white trash covered with tattoos! A Doctor friend of mine said that people with multiple tattoos have serious mental problems.Jesse James is an dangerous CRAZY!
Reply
Your DR says people with mup. tatoos have mental issue.YOUR DR IS CRAZY WOW I cant believe that you just wrote that? I cant understand why people think that tatoos are bad do you realize that the is art! Self expression WAKE UP!!!!!!!!
This article contradicts itself.The show will have "huge ratings",but the public "hates him".If he's hated,why would the show have huge ratings from millions of viewers?I heard his lame brain excuse already-that life was too good,so he wanted to sabatoge himself,and that's why he cheated.Give me a break.He's a loser.I sure won't be watching him.

jesse james has "handlers"? oh, really? he strikes me as the kind of guy no one could "handle." and exactly WHO ARE these so-called handlers?
jesse, you screwed up alright, but don't worry about being the "the most hated guy in America." despite what some celebrarity tv shows and columnists would have us believe, a whole lot of america doesn't know who you are and don't care.
Reply
Yeah - right his 'handlers'. Like he was a wild animal or something like one of those monkeys that swing from tree to tree screwing all the female monkeys in the jungle! LOL!! Oh WAIT, he is just like those monkeys isn't he!!!! His handlers better put a shorter leash on him.
All of the media writers are such hypocrites. You can't seem to make up your mind about how you want the celebrity cheaters to act. they aren't up to your standards are they? they all wanted Tiger Woods out there to talk. They wrote every single day about getting him out there to tell "his side" and when he did it they were still all over him. Now Jesse is out there and you all want him to shut up. Make up your minds. Most of the public does not care about these dummies. It is only the media who constantly make these demands. Go find some real news! This stuff is actually boring!

Just another lying cheating snake that can't keep his pants on.

He needs to sit down and shut up. He's done enough harm to Sandra. As for why anyone would watch, I guess it's like watching a train wreck. You don't want to look but can't seem to help it.
WHO THE HELL CARES, THEY BOTH DIDN'T GIVE ENOUGH TO EACH OTHER, SHE WAS GONE A LOT, I CAN'T STAND EITHER ONE OF THEM BECAUSE OF ALL THIS CRAP, WOWS IS ME SANDRA, IF YOU KEPT HIM HAPPY AT HOME THAT'S WHERE HE WOULD OF STOOD!
I don't blame her....he is a two timing pig..........she is such a sweetheart.........why do they always get the rotten one's?

Along with Sandra, I won't be watching JJ's last 15 minutes of fame. He's playing the pity me card when he should just be going away like the bad boy he is. America's heart is with Sandra, not that cheating, lying skank screwing tattooed idiot.

i cant imagine what sandra is going thru today. poor thing

Yes, the guy made some huge mistakes but enough is enough. There are people in this world doing the most horrible, reprehensible things to humans, animals, the environment, etc. Everyone who is so quick to judge this man had better look inside themselves. We all make mistakes and we all deserve a second chance!
Reply
Give him a second chance? Ha, I think he had a second, third, and fourth chance. You do know the story, right? He cheated repeatedly with more than one woman almost immediately after they were married. They were only together 5 years...sheesh. If you can't keep your peter in your pants in 5 years of marriage, you are doomed. He's a serial cheater. He is not worthy of a second chance. It wasn't just a one night stand. It was multiple affairs with different women. He texted them, called them, met them at hotels and brought them to his bike shop. Think again Dlg. He deserves no second chances. Sandra doesn't want him back.
It's ridiculous to say "she was never home" as an excuse for HIS cheating with the money between the two of them if someone was horny they could easily hire a jet or get on a plane and go to where their spouse was and do the nasty then fly back! This is James' issue and has nothing to do with Sandra working, etc. Get real!

After listening to Jesse whine and speak, I wonder if Sandra has any brain cells. This is not a man that I would even give a second thought to. He is a jerk and because she married him, so is she. I guess at her age when no one would marry her, she took what she could get.

Jesse should stop slobbering over this creepy woman. She thought she could change him and make him like her. LOL. Nothing special about her. Just because it is Sandra everyone want's to just blame Jesse. Maybe there was a reason he felt he had to cheat. Maybe, his WIFE was never at home with him. I guess he was suppose to sit for months on end and wait for his wife to appear. Sick of Sandra. Go away and hide again for a few year's Sandra and maybe you can show you face again later. You made the choice on Jesse and you got what you deserved.

Folks
This is a time old story....somebody cheats on somebody....he's not better or worse and she's not better or worse. So unless you are pure and clean....knock it off and don't make a bad situation worse!!!

The "Jesse James Redemption Tour" is all about the money. His business empire is doing poorly and he is trying to save it. Hollywood takes care of its own and JJ ain't selling choppers to the uber rich. Karma 'tat boy, real bad Karma for you!
