Sandra Bullock: Why I Returned to Acting After Split
Originally posted 12/27/2011 05:20PM
Sandra Bullock says that after her 2010 split from husband Jesse James she wondered if she still wanted to rush back into acting again.
"I was perfectly content to be permanently broken," Bullock, 47, tells the Associated Press – then explains that by "broken," she means a break from work.
She adds: "I honestly didn't think I was in a place where I wanted to work or wanted to step out of where I was. ... I wasn't prepared. But the opportunity was louder than my head."
It was director Stephen Daldry's lobbying for her to appear in Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close that convinced the Oscar winner to return to movies.

Sandra Bullock's Family Holiday Tradition: Smuggling Sausages
Originally posted 12/20/2011 10:05AM
For many families, the holidays involve a perhaps stressful trip to the grocery store, but that's nothing compared to Sandra Bullock's Christmas dinner, which entails illegally importing sausages from Germany to continue a meal tradition started by the actress's mother.
"Since my mother passed, we break the law, because we have to manage to smuggle German sausages into the country, and apparently bringing meats across the waters is against the law," Bullock, 47, told Jay Leno during an appearance on The Tonight Show. "You fry 'em up with some sauerkraut and potato salad, but they have to be the right ones."

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close Review
Originally posted 12/19/2011 08:30AM
I should tell you that I was living in New York City on 9/11, and am not what one would call "over it." So I approach 9/11-related films with trepidation.
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close is about grief. Oskar Schell (Thomas Horn), a frank, curious boy, mourns his father (Tom Hanks), who died that day.
The movie is also about the New York that I came to know after 9/11, and that's what makes it extraordinary. When Oskar discovers an envelope with a key among his dad’s things, he puts aside his phobias to find the lock it opens, meeting a string of wondrous people.

When she started dating Jesse James, Kat Von D was eager to "prove the world wrong" about him.
Now, she says, she deserves "a big fat 'I told you so,' from everyone."
"Today I encountered the 19th girl to add to the list of people Jesse cheated on me with during this last year," the former L.A. Ink star wrote Sunday in a blog post on her Facebook page.
"I kept going back and forth in my mind as to what the best way would be for me to release and let go of any residual feelings remaining from that toxic relationship."
James, 42, had acknowledged to PEOPLE that he had "poor judgment" in response to allegations he was unfaithful during his marriage to Sandra Bullock.
