Sandra Bullock Opens Up About Her Son On ‘Today’

‘Everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out,’ she says in an interview airing Tuesday. By Jocelyn Vena Louis and Sandra Bullock on the cover of People Photo: People Sandra Bullock sat down with Matt Lauer for her first television interview since her divorce from Jesse James , airing on the “Today” show on Tuesday. In it, she opens up about her adopted son, Louis, and what he means to the entire Bullock family. “We don’t have any boys in our family. Boy, is everyone really happy about that. So, he’s like the crown prince. You know, it’s nothing but girls in our family,” Bullock said about her baby, whom she called her “little Cajun cookie,” in an excerpt on the show’s Scoop blog . “I mean, my cousin in Germany has one son. No boys — can you imagine how miserable our father is? I mean, every pet was female. But it was just the hierarchy that needed to be broken.” Bullock also talked about how she was able to keep the adoption a secret from the media, crediting the people around her as having “massive amounts of integrity.” “Human beings exist that have integrity, that know how to keep their mouth shut. That know the bigger picture, that don’t sell out their friends,” Bullock explained. “Those people are all over the place. But again, we don’t like to talk about it, because it doesn’t sell a magazine. But I was blessed with the same friends I’ve had since before things got really special for me and blessed in life. “I did not circumvent,” Bullock explained further about the adoption. “I wanted to do everything exactly the same way everyone else did. And it was. He was always mine, you know. It wasn’t like I felt like someone was going to take him away. But it was nice to have someone say, ‘I think you’re a fit parent.’ … I think everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out.” The Oscar-winner sat down with Lauer in New Orleans, where she helped to raise funds for a new health clinic on the campus of the Warren Easton Charter High School. “They did it with such power and love and integrity. Integrity. There’s so much integrity here. And I’ve never been around that much integrity,” Bullock said about the victims of Hurricane Katrina since the area in and around New Orleans was devastated by the natural disaster five years ago.

Tom Hanks Calls Sandra Bullock ‘A Magnificent Actress’

Actor says he is ‘lucky’ to work with his ‘Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close’ co-star. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Kara Warner Tom Hanks at the HBO Emmy afterparty on Sunday Photo: Jason LaVeris/ FilmMagic Tom Hanks is very excited to get work started on the film adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s second novel, “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.” Why? Well, aside from the story — which follows a nine-year-old boy in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks — he can’t wait to work with fellow Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock. “Well I have left a voicemail for Sandra … Sandy. Can I call her Sandy? I can call her Sandy. I think she called the office back, but I hope to talk to her very, very, very soon,” the Emmy-winning Hanks told MTV News at the HBO Emmy afterparty. “The story is magnificent. Eric Roth wrote a brilliant screenplay, which makes our lives very easy because you just read it and you say, ‘I would be honored to be a part of this.’ ” Although he isn’t a close friend of Bullock, he does admire her work. “I am a huge Sandra Bullock fan. I’ve only met her a couple of times. She is a magnificent actress,” he raved. “And every time we’ve seen her, even just as recently as ‘The Proposal’ and ‘The Blind Side,’ we’ve thought, ‘We’d be lucky to work with her.’ ” “Extremely Loud” is focused on a New York boy whose father was killed in the 9/11 attacks. The boy finds a key that belonged to his dad, but he doesn’t know what it unlocks; the plot follows his attempt to answer that question. Foer’s book employs an untraditional writing style that incorporates multiple interconnected story lines, photographs and the like. The rights to the novel were first acquired several years ago. Scott Rudin is producing and Stephen Daldry (“The Hours”) is attached to direct, with a script from “Forrest Gump” writer Eric Roth. Warner Bros. is the lead studio on the project.

Kat Von D and Jesse James: Just Friends … With Benefits?

Jesse James and Kat Von D’s night out in Las Vegas over the weekend wasn’t the start of a new romance, her rep says … though sources say otherwise. “They did have dinner, but are just friends,” says the rep, adding that the LA Ink star and ex of Sandra Bullock , both TLC show stars, met “a while ago.” “They’ve always remained good friends,” says her rep, noting that despite affection showed during the night, “There is no romance there with Jesse.” “It was just good friends catching up. She’s [held] hands with friends before.” No word if they got his-and-hers tats in Vegas. Here’s the thing, though. Multiple sources close to the pair say Jesse James and Kat Von D were seen getting all touchy-feely at the Mandalay Bay hotel. They had a romantic dinner at N9ne Steakhouse at The Palms, but moved on and stayed at another very high end Vegas hotel that night, TMZ reports. Kat Von D’s people are playing the ” just friends ” card, but insiders say “friends with benefits” is more like it. So the rep isn’t necessarily lying here. It’s not the start of a new relationship … just straight up mauling each other on occasion by peeps who are primarily friends and not looking for more. Hey, whatever works.
