Hollywood Breakdown with Jonathan Alpert

Why Would Jesse James Cheat On His Hot, Oscar-Winning Wife Sandra Bullock?

sbullock021510_01_hb.jpgSo why would Jesse James cheat on his beautiful Academy Award winning wife Sandra Bullock? Seriously, she’s the complete package – beautiful, smart, successful, and rich. What’s the deal?

What’s that saying that describes why dogs lick their private parts - “Because they can”? Well, the same is true for why men cheat: because they can. Doesn’t matter if it’s Joe celebrity or Joe the plumber - neither are immune from the ills of adultery. But as I tell my cheating clients: “You’ll eventually get caught.” Jesse James is no exception.

All the normal explanations come into play as to why he cheated…the thrill of the chase, the novelty of a new lover, the opportunity presented itself, he craved attention, low or very little morals, Sandra is away a lot and he felt lonely, she placed more importance on her career than on him/marriage, and of course, when there’s a risk, there’s excitement.

To have a wife as successful as Sandra may have actually contributed to his actions. This is by no means an excuse, but perhaps offers a glimpse into his psyche. Think about it, here’s a guy with a wife who grabs the world’s attention, and he is known only as Sandra’s husband, the guy who's on some cable channel shows. Perhaps he felt inferior to her, living in the shadow of her fame. Maybe even on a subconscious level he felt emasculated by all this.

Often the spouse of a celebrity or politician feels a sense of entitlement, based purely on this association. This “entitlement by proxy,” I suspect, would be a tough one explanation for Sandra to accept ...

I worked with Sandra on a couple of movies eg. got to know her....she is a goofball that is obnoxious and abrasive. Jesse put up with her for 5 years...cut the guy some slack.I would have been out of there within a year. I dontcare how much cash she has...life is to short...

You know I think some celebrity couples seem to forget to keep it real when they are not in front of the camera, or doing a movie, or getting awards, I think that it is all about making the benjamins! And when you forget to keep it real in a marriage look what happens!

this is absolute bullshit

I can't believe news like this take center stage in the world. I feel terrible for Sandra, but let's be real---this happens all the time. Same thing with Tiger Woods. I can't turn on the tv without there being a daily update on these stories. The media should just leave this situation alone and let her heal her wounds.

To the person who worked with Sandra, what do you mean by abrasive? Why would so many people like her if she was really that way?



Posted by: Stella

Hey anonymous, you don't often hear "goofball" and "abrasive" together when describing the same person. Does she goof around in a funny way? Does she rub you the wrong way to make her abrasive? Explain please

life can be very complicated and that included marriage. if they were truly both happy then there is less chance of things happening. why cant people really be honest with each other and tell it like it is before it gets to the mistress/lover stage. It is very sad and hurtful ande life changing but only they know the real story...good luck guys.



Posted by: Anonymous

it is also sad when people have fame fortune and popularity why they continue to travel apart and alone once you commit to each other it should be that you try to be together as much as possible to support help and be the other persons rock and stability and to help keep things real couples who travel and share things usually stay together and life is very hard and if you find a true person to love cherish and honour that in every way...adults are suppossed to know that and give good examples to each other and to the chioldren so why cant they????

Everybody should stop focusing on these celebrities and on more important things. They're full of baloney



Posted by: Progress

Tiger & Jesse, have no respect for their wives. So sick of these guys giving a quick televised apology & thinking that's enough-ugh!



Posted by: jan

Sandra is a real person and did not ask for this...she works and expects her husband to work and be faithful like she was....not leach off her and blame her so he could cheat just to make himself feel better..he's a low life scum and I wouldn't take him back for sure..why?? so he can do it again

Jesse was fooling around with TRASH. Ugh these women make your skin crawl. He never should have married Sandra if he wants to play with trash like this.

Hey, annonymous(entry of march 29, 2010, 2:12 PM)...didnt you just say that we should stop focusing on these celebraties, so why exactly are you on "x17online" if your not interested in the newest gossip?

Every one of us are faced with temptations. The gullible ones will fail every time. Its black and white to me and it should be to everyone who is in a marriage commitment. Your significant other should be your best freind, you don't need other friends especially single freinds that are usually jelouse that your in a happy marriage. Stay with your mate, be honest and upfront with every thing.
Thats all I have to say about that.

What a cruel twist of fate. Sandra is one of the few stars who Never graces the cover of a magazine,unless she is interviewed for a legitimate authorized story.Now she is plastered on the cover of every magazine and tabloid like writing is going out of style, has got to be a real heartache for her.To be chosen as The Best Actress of the Year by her peers,and to be thrown off that stage by her own husband whom she adored is a cruel awakening.I believe the fact that we saw Sandra B. accepting her awards and praising him to the highest, while he grinned and accepted her praise is like a betrayal beyond words knowing that he was a regular tom cat with multiple lovers waiting in the wings to expose his cheating heart.There is hardly a star,that Sandra B. has been associated with that has Not heard or read about this terrible channel of events that has disrupted her tranquil life.Sandra has always been identified as the "girl next door".You could Not help but like her and wish her well.Hopefully her support system will continue to remind her that she is still the girl next door,and that we love her even more than before.

Just as many or more women cheat than men. I am highly offended by "men are dogs" comments. A few are, most aren't. Same as women.

First of all Sandra picked Jesse of the many guys she dated~in the past. He had a history of ex wivies ( porn star~dancer) . What did she think? That if he would marry her he would change? It was her choice. Did she go into the marriage blind? She is not in her early 20's but in her 40's smart?Cannot teach an old dog new tricks! I hope she learned her lesson...I wish her better luck next time.

1. The adulterer grasps an opportunity.

2. The adulterer is convinced they won’t be caught.

3. The adulterer’s conquest strokes their ego.

4. The question is gender biased.

5. Men and women both commit adultery.

only the best for the girl next door, she deserves support and yes she is everyones angel so why couldn't she have been Jessie' as well, I hope he turns his life around for the better.

Goodbye rehab and super-hot celebrity wife, hello couch? Jesse James checked out of rehab this weekend, and is staying with a pal (who's not a female tattoo model), Star magazine reports.

And while staff at the Tucson, AZ treatment centre that James checked into last week haven't commented on the news, Radar Online is also reporting that James fled the facility, apparently because Sandra Bullock isn't talking to him.

“He wants the marriage back,” said Radar's source. “And then she refused to take one of his calls from the rehab centre and he got furious and left.”

James may be back on the outside, but that won’t necessarily make communicating with Bullock any easier. According to Radar, the Oscar winner is being protected by a crack security team, and we're guessing their methods aren't just limited to shielding their charge with oversized hats.

Plus, recent reports would suggest that Bullock's been keeping busy, even if she has been out of the public eye.

Bullock has drawn up divorce papers, Radar is reporting. And while the actress hasn't filed them yet, the outlet reports that in case of a split the couple's prenup has protected her fortune.

In other words: you can keep your "choppers" and Nazi memorabilia, James, but you're not getting any of Bullock’s movie money.

According to Radar's source, the couple's prenup leaves little tolerance for infidelity: if James is proven as a cheater, Bullock doesn't have to go sharesies with her assets.

And considering the outlet claims that James already confessed to Bullock that he introduced seven ladies to his "vanilla gorilla," it's no wonder that she isn't worrying about her finances (apart from the fact she's a millionaire megastar).

"Right now Sandra is not thinking about the money," Radar's source said. "She's just trying to deal with this mess."

I could not believe the amount of misogyny and faulty reasoning in this Talking Points piece. David Brooks, in particular, says that "marital happiness is far more important" than career success, as if Sandra Bullock could have been happy with Jesse James.

If she had given up her acting career, she would have ended up with a serial philanderer as well as no independent source of income. This is supposed to be a good trade-off?

Its hard to Imagine how Sandra Bullock must feel right now. It's been less than a month since the biggest moment of her career and she's hiding out like a fugitive. She should be rejoicing, but instead she's grappling with the horror of reading daily revelations about her husband's indiscretions. Sandra could look to some of her own films for advice and consolation.

I love the quotes/lessons, and believe that it's always the hardest things you go through that refine your spirit into the strong and beautiful and resilient state that is your best self. But it isn't Sandra that needs to learn something as if she made a mistake. It is Jesse James. I hope he does learn from the pain of losing something and someone so beautiful and who added so much value to his life and his childrens' lives. I am sure he will if he has that seed of goodness that Sandra must have seen in him to have loved him...if he is strong enough to submit himself to become his best self and doesn't take the easy road of reverting back to those who encourage the worst rather than the best in him. We all fail to be our best and are destructive to ourselves and those who love us and depend on us at one time or another. I hope that Sandra can see that this entire situation is public humiliation for others but she shines through like the strong and beautiful woman she is. She deserves a man who is strong enough to see how amazing she is and not let it intimidate him to the point he doesn't give her the emotional support, daily encouragement and genuine interest and connection, and unconditional devotion and honor that a woman longs for no matter how strong and independent and whole she is without

Veteran Hollywood publicist Michael Levine had commented that Sandra should live her life with full dignity and be ready to face the world. He has also advised that she must not stop living her life. He is also of the opinion that paparazzi don’t chase if you don’t run. He thinks it’s a better idea to face them rather than avoiding them.

With Sandra Bullock’s personal life being messed up big time, everyone is ready with their own advices.Give your quote and become famous-this seems to be the fastest way to turn the media attention to oneself.

Well, here is another celebrity who has shared her valuable opinion on the Sandra Bullock-Jesse James case.Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak commented that Sandra should teach her husband a lesson or two by castrating him.

Kim has admitted that even though she has got no personal connection with Sandra, she thinks that Sandra is an angel and the whole issue is very messy and disturbing.

Kim has described graphically and details how James needs to be treated by wife Sandra Bullock. According to the star, “Cut his (bleep) off. She should cut his (bleeps) off and his (bleep).And she should blow it up,”

Kim herself was in the news recently when she admitted that she is bisexual and is currently having a lesbian relationship with DJ Tracy Young.

She remarked that they got along like a house of fire when they were first introduced and soon became close on a mental level.

Physically, however, things were slow and it was Tracy who made the first move and their first kiss was very much passionate and super exiting.

More & more Hollywood men are getting caught for cheating on their women. Tiger Wood,Jude Law,Ethan Hawke,Kobe Bryant,Ryan Phillipe,Donald Trump,Eric Benet & the list goes on & on. It proves that Hollywood men cannot be trusted. How come we don't hear about women cheating on their guys? It proves women have more common sense than men. Men only think about their lower part, not their head. Duh

I don't believe Sandra is the personification of her girl-next-door movie roles. I can't believe how gullible people are. Of course, Sandra knew long ago the significant flaws Jesse has. She flew the coop when the the truth exploded in public.

Sandra swettie, don't worry about anybody else right now. Think what's best for you because your going to need it for upcoming events. Healing will come in your own time, don't rush it. We go through pain and suffering but we are to persevere and one day you will be a whole person again, not needing anything. Whenever you have time, look at the book of James 1:2-3. Jesse's action does not define you. There is nothing to be ashamed of. We all have choices and sometimes people make poor decisions that hurt others. One day you will find to forgive the person that hurts you the most so that you can move on and live in peace. God bless you and your family.

Hmm, Jesse James was lucky to catch Sandra and Marry her. I'm surprised she even looked at him twice. He's no prize that's for sure. It's like a Bentely next to a pinto car.

Sandra KNEW Jessie was a wicked snake when she married him so why is it such a surprise to everyone incldg her that JJ cheated on her? Once a vile snake ALWAYS a vile snake, sorry but those are the hard cruel facts of life. Hope she learns her life lessons from this & DOESN'T marry another snake & expect him to behave differently than what he is...a damn disgusting SNAKE!!! Sorry, but Sandra knew Jessie was porno-loving-Nazi piece of trash & she still picked him up & now she is dirty too b/c of him. After the Tiger Woods stories I don't know if anything can shock me now...geesh. Glad Sandra did NOT have any children w/Jessie, that would have definitely made things a lot messier. God be w/you & help you heal Sandra & make you wiser when making these life decisions. All the best you are one of the good ones according to most people in & out of the business. I feel for you too & am sorry you were taken advantage of by someone you "thought" you could trust; it will be difficult but it won't be anything you can't handle. Best wishes.

Good luck to you, Sandra. You are beautiful!

I personally think, that she may have whatever personality, or character she has, but she is that way, and her husband chose her, and therefore he knew what he was going to get. I wish her good luck, because she does a great job, and i love her movies. She deserves all the best from her job. If her husband can't stand next to her...that is his problem not hers. If he loved her, he would have been happy for her, and i don't think that she actually makes him feel "inferior". This is - like i said before - his problem.

Sandra loves other women and has fooled many of people. she's the biggest you know what in Austin texas



Posted by: Silly

Infatuation-vs-Love..there really is a BIG difference. INFATUATION-is like treating a wound with a small bandage, it just fills the void temporarily LOVE-is imagining a future with that person and not being able to picture your life without them. That is why so many couples make the mistake of getting married too soon. Take the time to get to know each other as friends first. Only time will tell if its true love or not.

You both need to move to the country, not hi-society country, the real country. Get off your "keeping up with the Jone's", do your acting, fly home, drive an hour from the airport yourselves at 10:00 at night and appreciate eachother at 12:00 midnight. Your lives do not need to be as dramatic as they may seem. These are humbling times. Join in !
