Sandra Bullock and Jesse James arrive at the Vanity Fair Oscar party on March 7. People.com reported that Bullock has left the couple's home.
Jesse James says he's sorry for the pain and embarrassment he has caused his wife, Sandra Bullock, and his three children from previous relationships.
James told People magazine in a statement Thursday that he exhibited "poor judgment" and "I deserve everything bad that is coming my way."
Internet tabloid reports surfaced Wednesday alleging that the 40-year-old celebrity motorcycle builder had been unfaithful to Bullock, whom he married in 2005. Bullock subsequently canceled a planned appearance in London for the premiere of "The Blind Side," for which she won an Oscar and a Golden Globe.
If Bullock and her husband have parted, it continues a long chain of broken relationships for best actress Academy Award winners.
Reese Witherspoon, Halle Berry and Julia Roberts are among the winners from the past decade who within a year of their victories had parted from their then-companions.
Art dealer to plead guilty
A once-high-flying art dealer plans to admit swindling nearly $100 million from a star-studded clientele that included tennis great John McEnroe and the estate of actor Robert De Niro's father, the dealer's lawyer said Thursday.
Former gallery owner Lawrence B. Salander was expected to plead guilty today to grand larceny and scheme to defraud, attorney Charles Ross said. He said Salander would admit to a sweeping scheme that prosecutors say involved a dream of dominating the Renaissance art market and victimized heirs to a roster of prominent artists.
Ross said Salander, 60, expected to be promised a prison sentence of a maximum range of six to 18 years and would try to raise money to repay his victims.
Gasol calls cops on paparazzi
Police in Redondo Beach, Calif., say two men they stopped for following Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol turned out to be Spanish paparazzi.
Sgt. Phil Keenan says Gasol told officers he saw the men following him before he got into his car Wednesday afternoon.
Keenan says the men tailed Gasol's car and the athlete was worried that they might be stalkers.
The former Memphis Grizzlies star called a friend in law enforcement who told him to pull into the police station, and he described the men's black sedan to officers.
Keenan says officers pulled over the car near the station and officers discovered that the men worked for a Spanish news agency. They were allowed to leave.
