• According to TMZ, Sandra Bullock “blindsided” Julia Roberts by knocking her off the cover of People — and: “This on top of the fact that Sandra won her Oscar for the box office hit The Blind Side, a role Julia originally turned down, proves sometimes being a ‘Pretty Woman’ just isn’t enough.” [TMZ]
• Sandra Bullock‘s “movie son” Quinton Arnold, on her real son, Louis: “I am truly overjoyed for Sandra – what amazing news and so special that she has been able to keep this time private between her and the baby!

We went to Miami for Super Bowl weekend and I didn’t hang out with the girls one night, so they just decide to say that I’m on drugs. It’s ridiculous.” She adds: “It’s not something to be taken lightly at all… I understand that we need drama for the show, but when it starts to affect my personal life… that’s when I’m not OK with it.” [Access Hollywood]
