Jesse James: Sort of Trashing Sandra Bullock on American Chopper!

In this sneak peek of American Chopper , former Monster Garage Jesse James goes head to head with Paul Teutul and Paul Teutul, Jr., to build a new bike. True to form, he’s also got a lot to say about his personal life. “I became a big shot and married some Hollywood actress and didn’t talk to anybody anymore, so I feel bad,” James says at the beginning of the episode. Jesse James American Chopper Preview His reference to America’s Sweetheart Sandra Bullock, who he cheated on rampantly, as “some Hollywood actress” is not likely to endear him to viewers. As for why he came back to reality TV? “I feel obligated to reconnect with all these people and show ’em that I’m still the same fabricator motorcycle guy. I’m not what I became,” says James. It’s not clear if James is blaming Bullock for “what he became,” but given the reasons for their marriage imploding, it’s hard not to read into it somewhat. After divorcing Bullock, he got engaged to Kat Von D, only to have that fall apart as well after he reportedly cheated on Kat 19 times (according to her). James goes on to say that his bikes are “built to be punished.” It seems that could also apply to any woman crazy enough to enter a relationship with him.

Pippa Middleton to Join William and Kate For the Holidays

Kate Middleton and Prince William will spend the holidays together with both of their families, and her sister Pippa will be invited to the royals’ Boxing Day retreat, to boot! The 29-year-old Duke and Duchess will spend the actual holiday with William’s family, but the entire week before will be spent with her sister Pippa and the Middletons. Pippa, 27, will then join her big sister for Boxing Day (Dec. 26) in Sandringham, Norfolk, where the royals hold an annual pheasant hunting competition. Lock and load! “It will be the first Christmas Catherine is away from her family, so having Pippa come on Boxing Day is just part of making [Kate] feel comfortable and for her to share the holiday with her own family,” an insider said . “It’s something William wanted.” Nice guy, that Will. Kate, William and Pippa “will then all travel together back to Bucklebury and spend the remaining days of Christmas with the other Middleton family members.” In early 2012, William will be deployed to the Falkland Islands for six weeks. He’ll join a Royal Air Force crew as part of his training as a Search and Rescue pilot. Hopefully Pip can keep Kate Middleton company then, as well.
