Jesse James cheating: Has Sandra Bullock been hit by the Oscar Curse?
Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock is reeling from allegations that her husband Jesse James may have had an affair with a tattooed model while she was filming "The Blind Side." She's canceled her appearance at the London premiere of the film, but so far there is no word from her publicist's office about the Web reports.
Coincidentally, Kate Winslet, who won Best Actress Oscar in 2009, just announced a split from her director husband Sam Mendes.
What is going on? Does this have anything to do with the dreaded Oscar Curse?
What, you don't know about the Oscar Curse? Well, it's real and it does seem like fondling that little gold man causes all kinds of marital and relationship problems for actresses.
Our pal Gold Derby blogger Tom O'Neil
over at The Envelope.com explains that over the past 12 years, eight of
the best actress winners broke up with their boyfriends or husbands
lovers after getting the gold: Winslet, Reese Witherspoon, Hilary Swank, Charlize Theron, Halle Berry, Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Helen Hunt. Even creepier, five of the splits took place less than a year after their gold men grab: Winslet from hubby Mendes, Witherspoon from hubby Ryan Phillippe, Swank from hubby Chad Lowe, Paltrow from boyfriend Ben Affleck, and Roberts from boyfriend Benjamin Bratt.
Berry's break-up with Eric Benet took a bit longer. They split 18 months after she won. And Hunt split with Hank Azaria a little less than two years after the Oscar awards.
Still, it's creepy, right? Will Sandra's marriage be next? We hope not!

Well.....look who she married. This thing had faiure on it before they signed the papers.
And what's really interesting is the stupid comments from the woman he supposedly had an affair with. The woman said something like she didn't know he was still married to Sandra (huh???? even we all knew that so how could she not?) and she said he told her He and Sandra were separated.
Ummm hello??!
People who are separated are still married. You don't go after someone unless they're officially divorced.
Uh, it's not a curse - rich actors get divorced and separated all the time, since the silent era. Having an Oscar has not a thing to do with it.
guess she truly was "blind sided"...bad, i know, but i couldn't resist. :)
Thanks for posting that article, it feeds the mind and eases the eagerness of the reader… Compassion to give such these information and things made a great contribution in the world of the website, for the one who sees it and need it like me…
The tears in Jesse's eyes when Sandra subtly mentioned him in her oscar speech now have a new meaning to me. What a loser!
I never thought he'd be the type she'd marry so I'm not surprised. He's from the other side of the tracks.
I do not understand the reason eonline.com is blaming Meryl Streep. Huh? A multiple-Oscar winner (and loser) with a 30 year marriage. What does that have to do with anything?
I really wish the media would stop bringing up "the Oscar curse." This isn't the Middle Ages--we don't believe in magic or curses anymore.
I thought it was odd, she didn't mention her husband in her Oscar acceptance speech. Makes sense now.
