Jesse James Is Married to Sandra Bullock, Much to Donald Trump's Surprise

On ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’ the board room wonders what the bubbly actress sees in the flamboyant Jesse James

Viewers of "Celebrity Apprentice" took to the Internet after Donald Trump made references to contestant Jesse James’s wife.

James, who won as project manager for his team on Sunday night, has been overly subdued during the course of the competition. On Sunday night’s show, James and his team presented the frozen food makers Schwan with an original turkey meatball and pasta dish that blew their taste buds, but the marketing aspect, which James took charge of, was a mediocre poster.

His teammate, poker star Annie Duke, cooked three dishes before James picked the winner to present to the clients. One was baked beans, which he enjoyed so much, he showed it by loudly passing gas and laughing about it proudly … What a charmer. We wonder if Trump may have seen the footage before James entered the boardroom for evaluation. That night, Trump said to James that he really wonders what Bullock sees in him. He must be good in bed, he said in front of the other contestants, the board room, which included daughter Ivanka Trump, and of course, millions of Americans.

Hi Lady Gator -

I saw the video of the that Hilton guy when he vented on his website.  Yuck …. what a petty little cretin.  He obviously asked the question with the intention of aligning his own cause with the woman who was apparently the favorite to win.  I did not know that Trump selected the judges for the pageant.  Hilton, indeed, was a bad choice.   But "The Donald" also chose Dennis Rodman to appear on The Apprentice which turned out to be not only embarrassing but very sad ….Rodman is now an alcoholic.  Trump said on the show after firing Rodman that he had talked with him privately and that the basketball star was going to get help.

I would like to suggest to the staff at WOW that they actually watch the shows that they comment on…that was chili, not beans. Jesse is playing the game to win.  He is coy, brilliant at times, generally liked by everyone.  Don’t underestimate his contributuion to this show.

There  must be kings with golden tombs to give us peasants something to dream about.  Really, poor Ivanka is so far from reality.  Perhaps a trip to a third world country would open her eyes to the real value of $2o, ooo! Ivanka, read "Three Cups of Tea".

Maybe THIS is why: 

"For their first wedding anniversary on July 16, Sandra Bullock and Jesse James decided to expand their family. So in addition to celebrating quietly in Bullock’s adopted hometown of Austin—to mark the occasion, Walton’s, a local florist, decorated her lakefront property with glass lanterns, hydrangeas, roses and lilies—they adopted Bebe, a one-eyed Chihuahua they took in from a Long Beach, Calif., animal shelter. The pooch joins a menagerie of seven dogs (including Poppy, a three-legged mutt). "Jesse’s got a soft heart. He picks animals with issues, and that takes someone special," says Sylvia Gyimesi of Best Buddies Rescue in Long Beach, where the couple found both Bebe and Poppy. "

A man after my own heart!

i stopped on celbrity apprentice for about ten minutes the other night and couldn’t BELIEVE jesse james had stooped to do that show! Jesse James is an incredible artist who parlayed an ability to build bikes into a bzillion dollar a year empire that includes custom motorcycles, cars, every kind of apparel and marketing thing you can imagine as well as more than one discovery channel special. the guy came from a poverty stricken house hold pulled himself up by his boot straps…. and SILVER SPOONER whose Trump is assessing HIM? i was just shocked. I turned it off as number 1) the rivers women’s faces were freaking me out and 2) i was so dissapointed in James for doing it.

Donald is surprised because The Donald bought all his wives.  Jesse didn’t need to "buy" Sandra as she has more money and she certainly has more fame than Jesse. 

And, DT didn’t make those mills/bills by himself from scratch, he too is from a very wealthy family.   DT basically took over the family business.

A little excerpt from wiki: Donald was the fourth of five children of Fred Trump, a wealthy real estate developer based in New York City. Donald was strongly influenced by his father in his eventual goals to make a career in real estate development,[2] and upon his graduation from Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 1968, Donald Trump joined his father’s company, The Trump Organization

Trump doesm’t know what it take to build a marriage because he is not interested in having a good marriage, only a trophy wife.  As soon as his wifes start to look their age he dumps them and finds another 30 years yonger than the last.

After what I’ve seen of Trump’s over the top home decor, over the top choice of young wives and his over the top comb over, I don’t think he should be commenting on the crassness of others.

Right Spring Hill, it was chili.  Did Jesse James pass gas, must have missed that bit.

HHMMM what does Sandra Bullock see in Jesse James?  He seems like a really nice guy, kind, caring and protective.  On top of that, he is intelligent.  And doesn’t seem to mind being with a powerful rich woman.  What woman wouldn’t want a man like Jesse James.

Watching The Apprentice I’m very impressed with Mr. James.  I believe at then end it will be either Annie and Jesse or Joan and Jesse.

Geez, heaven forbid that Sandra marry a normal average guy who passes gas and thinks it funny…raise your hands ladies, how many of you all have one just like that at home? I know I do and I love him to death no matter how much he has in his wallet.

Donald, sometimes average and normal is good!

We don’t all aspire to be tacky, money hungry egomaniacs!
