Sandra Bullock Speaks: Let's 'Go Back to Normal'

By PopEater Staff Posted Jun 6th 2010 10:03PM

When Sandra Bullock stepped onto the stage at the MTV Movie Awards, she received a rapturous standing ovation from the crowd. In the wake of Jesse James' cheating scandal, the audience seemed to be echoing the support the Oscar winner has received from the public. Wearing a sequined black dress, Bullock addressed the crowd, saying she just wants to "go back to normal" and that she's "not going anywhere." Oh yeah, and she planted a kiss on Scarlett Johansson ... watch below!

During his introduction of Bullock, Bradley Cooper told the actress he hoped she knew "how loved you are ... You are once-in-a-generation talent."

Betty White, perhaps the second-most-beloved star of today, called Bullock "grace defined, and I adore you madly." "Sandy, you are a national treasure ... which I know a thing or two about since my ovaries were recently named historical monuments."

Upon arriving on stage, Bullock said, "I'd like to thank Betty for being such an extraordinary woman ... because of the person she is and the life she lives. I want your life."

While never directly addressing James or the scandal, Bullock certainly spoke of it. She made a statement with: "No matter what you might have seen or heard or read lately, I like what I'm doing and I'm not going anywhere. Speaking of what you might have seen or heard, I wanted to clarify some things: Number one, I'm not dead. Number two, everyone has cellulite, not just me."

Bullock continued, saying that the "paparazzi need more flattering lenses. And whoever established the high road and how high it should be should be fired."

Things then got funny, as she asked Johansson why she was on stage.

"This is so weird ... Scarlett, I really love you and all, but this is just uncomfortable. Why are you here? " Bullock asked

Scarlett, who is married to Bullock's 'The Proposal' co-star Ryan Reynolds, told her she hoped to be there if Bullock won best kiss, and then the two actresses shared a brief smooch themselves.

Bullock then got serious again, asking: "Can we please go back to normal, because therapy is expensive? Get back to making fun of me.

Bullock closed out her speech by saying that everyone's thoughts should be with those most affected by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Only after she gave a typical MTV whacked out speech. The kiss was demoralizing. Looks to me like she does not want to get back to normal but to keep her name in the God-awful tabloids!

By crazyloc

Cheating and divorce happen to people everyday of the week. Unfortunatley we don't have millions of dollars so we can take off of work and cowardly go into hiding for months at a time. We have to wake up the next morning, suck it up, and face the music. When do regular hard working Americans get to be rewarded for all of our hardships? SCREW HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND SCREW SANDRA BULLOCK TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sandra is an elegant lady. She has risen above the rif raf and will move on, in spite of those who have negativity in their hearts and minds. Be positive people! It is good for you and for those around you.

After 17 years of marriage I too was duped by my husband. This is hard enough to go thru in private, but for sandra to have to go thru this all in public, with such grace, shows her true character.

By Rollo

oh god another victim of the viscious male gender . Tomorrow you will be on Oprah

By Bella

Tessy, nice post you have there. This day and time pleasant people are hard to find. I totally understand what Sandra is going through and to have it going on in public must be really hard. Sandra has shown maturity and grace and she is correct about the high road, it's hard to take the high road, especially when your heart feels as though it has been ripped out. However, as hard as the high road is, eventually you smile again and find happiness again. I'm not sure the one's who cheat find peace and happiness, no matter how hard they try? Very sad.

Tessy, hope everything is OK now. You are right, it is hard enough to go through that in private, but to do that in the public eye must be beyond the scope of imagination for me. However, as Sandra wishes, it is tine to move on for her and for everyone else. I know she will draw her strength from her family, friends and devoted fans.

By man5tyl

By Parisian

Can somone kick the lowlife hebythesea off these boards, please? He/she/it is the most uncivilized, barbaric, disgusting excuse for a psuedo-human I have ever had the displeasure to read.

By Denise

shawterry6 Wow what side of the bed did you fall off to be so mean spirited. Actually she looks great for a 45 year old woman. We should all look that good at 45. She is not 19 years old. And CGEE what have you done that Sandra needs to thank you for? If you did not like her work you would not watch it. Maybe she is trying to move and not keep it alive the public humiliation is hard plus lossing someone you truely love and been betrayed by. No we did nothing to get Sandra through this she is doing it however she is doing it but with quit grace. Leave her alone and on this issues as she wants to move forward. It is the media keeping this going not her.
Most women admire her strength getting through this whole mess much less in the media and some men do not apprcieate that a women moves on from her cheating mate giving us all an incentive when you are cheated on be it male or female. The ultimate betrayal in a relationship.

By Mary Wood

What the heck does that post mean? One thing is obvious, your education, regardless of it's cost, was wasted. You're not texting here, sir, you are writing the English language. If you can't make it understandable, give education a second shot or quit posting.

Shawterry6, you are a lowlife of the lowest degree. Please don't waste our time reading your garbage. You know, people who do things like that are lonely, diminished people whose only moment to shine is by putting other people down and making snide remarks that mean absolutely nothing to anyone except you. Hope you find a life somewhere other than here.
