Jesse James Apologizes To Sandra Bullock

************************************************** Jesse James Apologizes To Sandra Bullock Following Infidelity Rumor ************************************************** LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- One day after Jesse James was hit with allegations he cheated on wife Sandra Bullock, the reality star has issued an apology, but stopped short of confirming the rumored infidelity. James called "the vast majority" of claims that have surfaced "untrue and unfounded", in a statement the star issued to 'Access Hollywood' on Thursday. "I will not dignify these private matters with any further public comment", his statement continued. "There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me". James apologized to Bullock and his three children, children he was photographed taking to school on Thursday, followed by the paparazzi. "It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way", his said in the statement. "This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me". On Wednesday, 'In Touch' magazine revealed their newest cover story -- titled "The Ultimate Betrayal", which centered around an interview with a woman named Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, who claimed to the magazine she had an 11-month affair with James, including while Bullock was shooting The Blind Side. "Michelle had several text messages", 'In Touch' West Coast Bureau Chief Ashley Dillahunty told 'Access'. "In the magazine -- we put the text messages in there". According to McGee, James led her to believe that he and Bullock were separated. She also claimed her sexual relations with James took place inside his West Coast Choppers shop. McGee calls herself "Bombshell" on the Web site, 'So-Cal Glamour Girls' and she claims she grew up Amish, but left the church and does not speak to her parents. In a clip from a Player's Network video found on youtube, McGee explained one of her tattoos, located on her forehead. "It says 'Pray for us sinners', because we are all sinners in life", she said in the video. As the cover story allegations were emerging, 'Warner Bros'., the film behind The Blind Side, issued a statement on behalf of the film's star, Bullock, who said she would not be attending the British premiere of the film she won the Best Actress Oscar for. "Due to unforeseen personal reasons a trip abroad to support The Blind Side has been deemed impossible at this time", the studio's statement from Sandra read. "I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your continued support of the film". And on Wednesday night, 'People' magazine ran a story claiming a source told the magazine the actress had left the home she shares with James. According to the source, Bullock left their home on Monday. ************************************************** ************************************************** Sandra’s Scandal: What Should Bullock’s Next Move Be ? ************************************************** Did Sandra Bullock put her plans to have her own children on hold for the sake of her marriage ?

ABBA-less R&R Hall of Fame Induction: ABBA-solutely Anticlimactic

************************************************** http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2138600 ************************************************** ABBA - never reunited ************************************************** What do you call a two-person ABBA reunion ? Besides "AB", that is ? How about a big whiff ? The news that only two out of four ABBA members will be attending the group's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame tonight in New York is gravely disappointing news. "The winner takes it all" but, of course, the winner has no obligation to actually show, much less reunite and make all of our most pop-tastic dreams come true. Adding insult to injury, Peter Gabriel will not be attending to take part in Genesis' induction. Between these two sets of no-shows, it's clear that the Rock Hall is failing in its greatest responsibility... which is to publicly shame geezers who otherwise have no inclination to put aside rancor with their old bandmates into getting it together one last time. ABBA disbanded in 1983,****** though Bjorn and Benny stayed together as a musical-theater songwriting team (preserving the "BB" part of the equation). Cause of death: two divorces and too much dough. In the intervening decades, they have been offered more money than God owns to do a reunion tour or even one-off, but their 401ks have apparently not been as ill-affected as the rest of ours have. Apparently Noah Cross in Chinatown was wrong: You can have enough assets. Still, there was the hope that if they wouldn't do it for money, they would do it for love... or the respect of being in the Rock Hall, at least. But no. Benny Andersson, who will be on hand, has explained that buddy Bjorn Ulvaeus can't make it because of "a big family thing" and Agnetha Faltskog won't be there because she "doesn't like to fly". Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad will be on hand, but probably won't sing. "I don't think she wants to", Andersson, her ex-husband, said. "It's been so long". Does anyone remember that Phil Collins produced Frida's first English-language solo album, Something's Going On, in 1982 ? If Frida won't sing with her former spouse, how about a Frida/Phil reunion, since the Genesis drummer-cum-frontman will also be inducted tonight ? We'll take what we can get. "I may play something on the piano, with someone else singing", Andersson said. That someone could well be country-pop star Faith Hill, who is said to be singing a selection of ABBA hits, so we can hear how "Voulez-Vous" sounds with a Mississippi accent. With few other acts of yore able to resist the cash grab that a reunion represents, there is something to be said for the integrity of these last remaining holdouts. Or is it vanity ? "Let people remember us as an ambitious, energetic young group", Ulvaeus said in 'USA Today'. "A wonderful memory". Presumably, reenacting the scene in the musical Mamma Mia ! where the four women trot out their old white disco suits for laughs is not the final impression these folks want to leave in anyone's mind. Better to be preserved in the perfection of amber than go out on a knowing guffaw, right ? Still, I couldn't help but hope for the moment when one of the ABBA - sters would grab the mike, and—with a nod to Bono in Rattle and Hum—defiantly proclaim, "Pierce Brosnan stole this song, and we're stealing it back !" I cast a ballot for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame every year, and, while allowing for greatness, I have to admit I sometimes throw my vote toward whomever I most want to see forced onto the stage together. But bands are proving more and more resistant to the lure of putting on a happy face even for one night. When Creedence was inducted, John Fogerty refused to perform with his old bandmates. When Elvis Costello & the Attractions got in, the group that performed was Elvis Costello & the Imposters — which is basically the Attractions minus Bruce Thomas, the one ex-member Costello can't stand. When Van Halen was inducted, we were sure we'd see Diamond Dave and Sammy Hagar both performing with Eddie Van Halen, but got none of the above. Historicity is easily trumped nowadays by rancor... or family commitments or fear of flying. Induction attendees will at least get a Hollies reunion tonight, apparently, and the Stooges have already been doing the reunion circuit for a while. But ABBA and Genesis****** owe us better. And Faith,****** you're a fine girl... but you're no Frida. "I Have a Dream" in which all four members—that would be A, B, B, and A — surprise us and show up after all, even though these kinds of no-shows are beginning to look like the Rock Hall's Waterloo. ************************************************** Sorry but, in my opinion, It would be nice if everyone would just understand that the "stars" are people with lives of their own. It isn't their responsibility to perform, for life, for us fans that loved their work and bought their records. They probably appreciate us but they are not "supposed" to be at our beck and call forever. I really liked the music these artists have made over their careers and wish them the best in all their endeavours and adventures as I'm sure they would wish us. This is silly to dramatize their lives because of mere paparazzi decisions and desire for high ratings. The problem is they forget the personal side of the artist and intrude for the mighty dollar in their greedy pockets. It's a madness and should treated as such. I'm nobody famous, but if I were I think I'd still want the same prvacy I have now. The word lacking in today's journalism is respect. And that's sad
