Buddy George Lopez checks in on Sandra Bullock (again)

If there were ever a time Sandra Bullock needed friends she can trust, this is it -- and it appears George Lopez fills the bill. 

The "Lopez Tonight" host swung by her place again Monday, braving a crowd of photographers outside the front gate of the home where she's essentially being held captive by the tawdry news that's breaking around her. (Witness the DefCon 5-style media activity Thursday when she emerged for the first time since mid-March.)

George had visited before, after the Kids' Choice Awards, which we'd like to remind you ...

... Bullock had never planned to attend, despite breathless reports about the fact that she wouldn't be there.

Bullock approached the comic a decade ago about starring in a sitcom; she was an executive producer on "George Lopez" for several years.

We hope you helped Sandy laugh just a little, George.

Jesse wanted a Valkyrie ... Sandra wanted his "amazing, blond Aryan children" ... so very bad that Jesse reported the mother of his child, his former wife, to the IRS for tax-evasion so she would go to jail and he could win sole custody of the precious blond baby girl that Sandra so adored. To ensure the scheme succeed, Sandra threw the full force of her power behind him. Why is Jesse and Sandra suffering so? One reaps what one sows. Is this not the Law?
