Jesse James apologizes to Sandra Bullock and his kids

Jesse James apologized to wife Sandra Bullock and his three children Thursday in a statement released to People, saying he was saddened by the "pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension" that he had caused for them.

On Wednesday, Bullock canceled a trip to London for the UK premiere of "The Blind Side" as a tabloid report alleging James cheated on his wife with a tattoo model went public. Technorati reports Michelle McGee was paid close to $30,000 for her story.

"There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me," James said in the Thursday statement. "It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way."

Without going into specifics, he also said that many of of the allegations -- and there are many floating around -- are unfounded, and that he wouldn't be commenting again publicly on the topic.

Representatives for James and Bullock did not respond to Associated Press calls and e-mails seeking comment.

Looks like the MAN could not handle his wife's fame!!!

[Frank The Tank]

I mean c'mon! He's a 'bad-boy'. What would one expect?

[Delia]

Jesse James should be sorry. He just embarrsed his beatiful Wife, whom she thanked at the Oscars. To Sandra. Please stay strong. I know your pain. Everyday gets easier and just know this had nothing to do with you, so dont blame yourself. Your a beatiful person and tomorrow a Rainbow will shine for you. Sincerly your fan

Hey, don't blame the guy. He's being true to himself. Blame the dote that married him.

[Liebchen]

OMG, poor Sandra Bullock. Can't these husband cheaters keep their pants zipped up? Then they mumble a "I-am-so-sorry--it's-all-my-fault" and think everything is o.k again. What was James' stick? Couldn't he live with his more-than-he-famous wife? Did he have to compete with her in such an ugly way? Well, I have the answer, how she should get even with him, but I can't say it here. You can probably guess it.

[From Red Gulch]

Heh, he's a BAD BOY, all right!

[Scott]

Uhh, how do you not blame the guy who broke his wedding vows! Hello! Jesse James is this month's Worm of the Earth!!!

[Lisa]

Who knew J.J. was getting relationship advice from Tiger Woods and Charlie Sheen?!

[2PAC]

You know what, it is what it is. We cant say his actions were a reflection of his true feelings for Bullock. We all have weaknesses or different likes, fetish, attraction or whatever you want to call it, for soem it might be IN-N-OUT Burgers, his might be a tatted up sexy ghetto looking girls. I wouldnt get it all twisted. The only problem here is the affair going public getting cought...

[chris]

people have done worse things

[K.E.]

I see. So he had no intention of telling his wife - he just didn't bet on the other woman leaking the story.

No wonder he deleted his twitter account - he was about to be deluged with messages telling him what an idiot he is.

How many other mistresses are out there?

Sandra, please dump this moron. He had his chance, and he blew it royally. He disrespected and humiliated you, just to amuse himself on the fly. He's just one of those dogs who make men look bad.

Make HIM move out of the house. Let him get his own apartment on his own money. Don't give him a cent, and sue him for breach of contract.

Sorry about the kids, but if they're his kids fro his first marriage, let him be the single father, that's the hand he played.

I wish you the best Sandra.

Christie D'Zurilla here from the blog -- someone (T.S.) submitted a link to a good blog post, but I can't go directly to it because of a little bit of profanity and a too-skimpy bikini. But use this link, click the first result and scroll down to the "Here a Rant! There a Rant!" post if you are in the mood. Grease is the word, baby.

Oh, the comment from T.S. is: "McGee is a an attention-seeking, money-hungry tramp. This Vancouver blogger said it well, and I love her reference to local band The Bronx. Perfect!"

30K? Cheap.

[bgsiegman]

Mostly women say J.James is a worm or worse. Several males (from their monikers) seem to excuse the behavior as "bad boys will be bad boys." Depressing.

[Anonymous]

C'mon, wouldn't you cheat on Sandra Bullock?

[ironmom]

Why is anyone surprised? He is a tattooed, motorcycle junkie tough guy. Did she think that she would change him into an upstanding citizen and loving Hollywood husband??...a classic case of a talented, accomplished woman falling in love with the "bad boy". She could have done so much better than him....

[Darth Kater]

Greetings from a "galaxy far, far away": Vancouver, BC!

I was WONDERING what was up with my blog, and ... now I know.

It's terribly sad that Ms. Bullock must endure this indignity in such a public fashion; I'm sure she'll handle it like the lady that she is.

Michelle "Bombshell" McGee could learn a thing or two from Bullock! Then again, she's probably too busy cashing-in on her 15 minutes of fame, having an*l bleaching done, having the contents of a M.A.C. counter throw-up on her face, stenciling-in her brows (with a Sharpie), and having a souvenir tattoo done (to remember her shining moment). In that order.

Perhaps instead of vagazzling her drive-thru **ahem!** ... she may tattoo a "Vanilla Gorilla" to remember J.J. by ...

One good thing about this grotesque drama: it takes the spotlight off of the Haim family, so that they may grieve in private.

James:

To people like you, it is always the wife fault. James, is responsible for his own actions. James, decided he wanted to play, and he did. I hope he has not given Sandra anything from that woman or more. James is only sorry because he got caught. He had sex with more than once.

Mel:

Fame has nothing to do with it at all. James, third leg controls him like 90% of the men that have affairs on their wife. He has screwed up big time.

[The Dote]

2PAC:

You said the only problem is, is that the affair is going public, getting caught. That is the only problem your brain can see.

James:
Did your father call your mother a dote? Do you call your wife a dote if you have one?

[CDZ from the Ministry]

@The Dote -- Christie D'Zurilla here from the blog. May I just say that I'm ROFL right now over "dote."

That is all. You put a smile on my face.

Let's not forget folks, McGee said she thought the couple was separated...so that clears her of ALL responsibility. Pleeease. What a crock, as if the couple isn't famous enough to know they are still together. The classless tramp will get what she deserves.

What's sad about women like her is; they're always trying to get one over on other women, trying to undermine them, take from them what they themselves will never have. It's the viciousness and intent that disturbs me. As for the men, well...it's normally much more simpler and innocent, but hurtful, just the same.

As far as Sandra and Jesse's relationship goes...it's their life and however they choose to handle it is entirely their business. If the love is strong, they will endure. Who's to decide is a couple is right for each other anyways...only them.

Christie D'Zurilla here from the blog -- we don't publish comments that include profanity, even if you put ast*risks or sym&#ls in there to try to hide the words.

If you don't see your comments going live, that's probably why.

If Jesse did in fact have an affair with the cheap looking porn type with trailer trash mentality, well, maybe that's who he belongs with. She looks more like his type than the beautiful, classy, talented Sandra Bullock. I feel for Sandra because she didn't deserve this. A sleazy witch capitalized on her own slutty behavior and publicly hurt someone who didn't deserve it. This was McGee's way to what will no doubt be short-lived fame, but it won't be the kind she thought she'd get. Sandra is well loved and respected as a person and in the biz, and McGee will come to regret her publicity ploy. She'll be a tramp forever.

[Trust issues]

I knew it was too good to be true! Sandra Bullshit acting like she is Miss Perfect and has the Perfect Husband in Jesse! What a crock! I knew Jesse could never be happy with a bore like Sandra! She is too Miss Goody Two-shoes! Jesse is a hunk and what woman wouldn't want to be naked in his bed with him! Sandra needs to get a life and find a man like...um, um, um...I just can't think of any man that would be as perfect as Sandy!!!!!!!!!!!
