Jesse James Can't Stop Talking About 'Pretend' Life With Sandra Bullock

By Christine Fenno Posted May 15th 2011 01:23PM

Jesse James claims he learned a lot by entering rehab a year ago, when his five-year marriage abruptly ended in a cheating scandal. What he sure didn't learn is discretion -- Sandra Bullock's ex can't seem to stop oversharing in the press, and putting his own motorcycle boot in his mouth.

Days ago, James revealed to PopEater that he apologized to Bullock, and she accepted. But did she also give him the okay to analyze their romance in public, and keep trying to justify his infidelity?

While promoting his memoir, 'American Outlaw,' James seems bent on taking digs at their time together.

"I'm 100 percent to blame," he told Piers Morgan, Friday on CNN, about his cheating. Nevertheless, he expressed relief to be free of the "pretend" Hollywood life he lived while married to Bullock: "I don't know how I survived."

And he made sure to say his new relationship with fiancee Kat Von D is a happier one free of cheating because it's "on a higher level." He declared, "I don't think me and Sandy were ever really friends."

"I was never 100 percent in," he recently told Men's Journal about marrying Bullock, adding, "I cheated on my wife. Guess what? So do millions of other men."

And of course, he famously told Howard Stern that sex is better with his new partner.

Still, is anything more outrageous than an unfaithful spouse calling the betrayed partner's honesty into question?

When Morgan asked James to recall the loving things Bullock said about him while accepting awards last year (including a Best Actress Oscar for 'The Blind Side'), the former reality TV star revealed a deep-seated doubt in her sincerity:

"She said that same speech at four different awards shows," said James. Then he turned the tables on the talk-show host, asking, "What does she do for a living?"

Morgan: "Movie star. Actor."

James: "Oh, ok. Cool."

Morgan: "You think it was an act?"

James: "Um...You know...I think people have to live in that world."

Speaking of recycling dialogue, it was in her 2010 Golden Globes acceptance speech that Bullock looked at her husband and said, "My work got better when I met you, because I never knew what it felt like for someone to have my back." Now, James finds himself describing Kat Von D in nearly identical language, telling Morgan: "I've never had someone, like, have my back 100 percent, you know?"

And even then he didn't leave. She left him and he booooo hooooo hoooo'd all over the tv and went to rehab in an attempt to have Sandy take him back and booooo hoooooo hooooo'd some more. All of this other stuff is smoke and mirrors because his ego got hurt when he found out that she is not only surviving, but thriving without his cheaing butt. Don't mess with an Arlington girl, Jesse.

Funny how that was a real world and his world when he used Sandra's money to buy restaurants and support HIS kids! Shut up Jesse. You had a great thing and blew it big time. Wa wa waaaaa!

By sheila

Little boys always talk trash about the girls they like that wont pay any attention to them. If he was truly over Sandra, he wouldnt mention her. But he mentions her constantly. He still loves her and will continue to talk trash about her until she notices. Just like a little boy. Kat, all his talk should be about you!

By sandy

He's talking this trash just to get his name in the so called news.Who cares what he has to say.

By cat h.

A cheater is a cheater is a cheater! Enough said.

By Teresa

I think the sex must have been good for Sandra and she mistook that for love. Happens to a lot of young women.... only it happened to her much older and she, the fool.

I dont know what attracted her to this monster anyway. what is with that greased back hair?

Didnt she see the silly look on his face when she took him to hollywood-type functions?

Jesse: shut up.... go back to where ya came from.

By Diane

So sad that this low life has to trash his past marriage to feel better about himself. OBVIOUSLY.....things arent so great with the tatooed female (she isnt a "woman")or he wouldnt have to be trying to convince everyone that it is! Wait till her tats start to droop!! Never heard of him until he married Ms. Bullock. New low in your life JJ please dont ever refer to yourself as a "man". When its over its over......real men dont feel the need to drag it thru the mud. TSK TSK.....oh and repeat those HIV tests every 6 months...honestly think Kat whatever hasnt been around?

By Trisha

Honestly, I had NO clue someone could be so self centered. Unbelievable and so sad. That interview was disgusting. That's great he lived a "pretend" life that doesn't mean it wasn't real for his wife at the time. Awful. Really awful. What a jerk. Plain and simple.

By Cynthia

Shut the F up already!!! You F'd up and we know, so let it go. If you are done with taking care of Sandra, then drop all of this!!!

By Patty

Why is anyone giving him any air time, or paying him for a book? he's a nobody..a loser. He just needs to go away ...maybe with kate gosselin! Go away!

By Lynn

You are scuzzy and no one cared who you were until you were married to Sandra Bullock, and they don't care to hear you talk about anything now. You are a sad, cheating person. Go back to the hole you crawled out of.

By Julie Rez

What an obnoxious creep is Jesse. Why do they interview such a non-human louse?

By mary

to trash your ex wife shows you have no smarts hope Kat will not be back on tv so we won't have to see you or her again and stay the hell out of Texas.

By Grandma

The biggest looser should go back to the rock he crawled from under, we don't need more garbage in this world!

By BIGRED

I wish Mr James would shut up (for the sake of his children, who used to care deeply for Ms Bullock).
He obviously does not care about the well being of his children.
Ms Bullock appears to making more mature choices.

By Ron

He has to mention her, or no one will write about him.

By eaglesan47

Jesse needs to quit riding his ex's coat tails. He's just another cheating husband looking to place blame for his bad behavior on someone else. He needs to ride off into the sunset or put on his big-boy pants and grow up already.

By neverhome

Hopefully, Sandra has learned her lesson regarding inter-species marriage.

By t3dub

omg! 2 losers finally can stick together and save the rest of us from falling for a cheating, whacko varsity loser!

By Candice

Instead of trashing that so called stripper that he cheated on her with,, you should be thanking her for getting this arrogant jerk out of her life for god, thank the good lord you never did have children with him, no biological children but you do have to feel sorry for his kids, Sandra was probably the best influence they had... wow what a douche..
