Bombshell McGee's dad knew about Jesse James
Denny McGee, father of Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, knew his daughter was involved with Jesse James -- he even asked her if her new guy pal was married to Sandra Bullock. Her answer fell along the lines of "not exactly."
Michelle McGee is, of course, the first in a series of women -- the list is up to three or four now -- to claim a sexual relationship with the West Coast Choppers owner.
"She told me that she was going out with Jesse James," said Denny, a barber in Ohio who gets our vote as least likely to be linked to a scandal. "And I'm like, 'Jesse James the cowboy's been dead for 100 years.' And she said, 'No, Dad, Jesse James the motorcycle guy.' "
When he asked if James was married to Bullock, Denny said, Michelle told him "they were, but they have a thing now where they kind of live apart and she's on the scene for movies."
Michelle decided to tell (er, sell?) her story after seeing
James and Bullock together ...
He says he talks to her several times a day -- the 32-year-old mother of two is in seclusion in the San Diego area -- and is a little concerned about what he's reading on the Internet about her."It's hard to read stuff about your daughter, the things people are saying about her," he said.
"She's a little crazy with the tattoos and stuff," Denny McGee said, "but as far as the Nazi things go, that's ridiculous."
Note to Denny: Don't look for your daughter on Twitter, or visit her online place of business. The Bombshell's self-representation on the Internet is a bit harsh as well.

I thought she said she was Amish?
And he's an Amish barber with a phone?
Don't they cut you off if you decide to leave the Amish life?
I feel sorry for her father, whoever he is. It must be hard to have a stripper daughter with a tattoo on her face.

I think we about all think Jesse James cheated but how innocent is Sandra BullucK? I don't condone Jesse James behavior but did Sandra talk about being opened minded to all and that's how she was raised in her speech. She futher went on to say thank Meryl Streep was a great kisser and later referred to her as my lover. Was she kidding or better question was she serious? An affair is an affair regardless of gender.
So Jesse definitely needs counseling but is Sandra in need also?

@Thinker -- Christie D'Zurilla here from the blog. The Meryl Streep comments were a specific reference to a gag between the two as Sandra accepted her best actress Critic's Choice Award immediately after Meryl Streep accepted hers. The awards were in January.
The Critic's Choice organization voted to a tie and honored both women. Meryl accepted first; when Sandra took the stage next, she gave a challenging look, in jest, to Meryl, then kissed her in a takeoff on all the girl-on-girl celebrity "shock" kisses of recent years.
It was a joke, made in public on national TV, and then Sandra did a callback to it at later awards shows. It was hardly a proclamation of an open marriage. Thanks for playing.
