Sandra Bullock Custody Battle: Sandra Bullock and Jesse James Battle Porn Star for Custody

The Sandra Bullock custody battle is sad. The Sandra Bullock custody battle is hard. Sandra Bullock and husband Jesse James are fighting for custody of Jesse James’s daughter.  Jesse James’s baby momma is a porn star that just got out of jail. She was in jail because she didn’t pay her taxes.

 The porn star that Sandra Bullock and Jesse James are up against is Janine Lindemulder. Janine and Jesse have a 5 year old daughter, and Sandra took the little girl under her wing while her mom was in jail.

 Allegations have been made that Sandra Bullock’s desire for custody of the child stems from her own inability to have children. Sandra Bullock denies these claims, and says that she chose her career over having children. Sandra Bullock is concerned about the well being of her husband’s 5 year old daughter, and says the living environment is not stable with Janine.

The full text of Sandra’s letter to the courts indicates that she and Jesse James would love to have a child of their own, but choose not to because it is not in the daughter’s best interest. Furthermore, before Jesse’s daughter came to live with them, she had never been to a playground and had never been around children her own age.

Jesse James also has an ex-wife that co-parents with Jesse and Sandra. Sandra describes their relationship as amicable.

Jesse James wrote a letter to the court as well, indicating that he gave Janine $182,000 to pay her taxes upon their divorce. She spent the money on drugs, and then landed in jail for non-payment of taxes.

The Sandra Bullock custody battle just goes to show you that those out in Hollywood have the same problems we all do. Custody battles don’t get easier just because you are famous – they usually get harder.

You can find the full text of Sandra Bullock and Jesse James’s letters to the court on ABCNews.Go.Com.

‘The People V. Leo Frank’ Premieres Monday on PBS

The documentary “The People v. Leo Frank,” which re-tells a true century-old story of a murder trial, racial stereotype, and a lynching, premieres Monday at 10 p.m. ET on PBS.

The People v. Leo Frank

The People v. Leo Frank

In 1913 Atlanta, a child worker, Mary Phagan, was found dead in the basement of the National Pencil Company.  Police focused on Phagan’s boss, Leo Frank, a Jewish engineer who recently arrived from New York.  Frank’s murder trial became a free-for-all of racial stereotypes and contradictions, according to the film’s web site.

Frank was found guilty and sentenced to death, mostly based on what the state’s star witness, Jim Conley, a black factory sweeper, said.  Frank’s lawyers appealed the conviction 13 times, and even went to the U.S. Supreme Court. 

Meanwhile, The New York Times led a crusade to exonerate Frank, according to the film’s web site.  Georgia Governor John Slaton concluded that Frank did not receive a fair trial and changed his sentence to life in prison.

The decision sparked a backlash.  A group of 25 men in seven cars drove more than 100 miles to the state penitentiary, walked in, and abducted Frank.  They drove him to an oak grove near Phagan’s childhood home, where they reportedly put a noose around his neck and hung him.

The film includes recollections, commentary, and archival images, with Will Janowitz as Leo Frank and Seth Gilliam as Jim Conley, with a script drawn directly from the historical record.

Elvira Pictures: Awesome Elvira Pictures and Elvira’s History

Elvira Pictures: Awesome Elvira Pictures and Elvira’s History

Elvira pictures are sexy. Elvira pictures are a Halloween favorite, as Elvira pictures help those dressing as Elvira tonight for many Halloween parties put together the perfect Halloween costume.

Elvira is the “hostess with the mostess” that hosted the 1980s TV show Movie Macabre.  In this TV show, Elvira mocked bad horror films and even made many comments about her big chest.

Elvira is the alter-ego of actress Cassandra Peterson. Her Elvira character was very successful, and while many tried to mimic Movie Macabre, none had the same success.  Movie Macabre became syndicated and Elvira became a popular household name.

I don’t know what’s more alluring about Elvira pictures – her cleavage or her big hair.  Perhaps it’s her gothic makeup, but then again it could be her long, black nails or her long dress with a slit up the side.

Elvira pictures graced the big screen in movies such as the 1988 hit Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and 2001’s Elvira’s Haunted Hills.

Elvira is also successful. She was the first spokeswoman for a beer company, the first person to create a 3-D music video, and is the #1 B-Movie queen.

During Halloween each and every year, people like to look at Elvira pictures.  The Elvira pictures show us a very unique Halloween character that has been very popular for the last 3 decades.

Dennis Hopper Cancer: Dennis Hopper Cancer Diagnosis Shocks Fans

Dennis Hopper cancer headlines deal with Dennis Hopper’s prostate cancer. After Dennis Hopper discovered he had prostate cancer, he cancelled all trips and entered a “special program” at the USC Medical Center, according to LA Late.

 Dennis Hopper just completed filming season two of “Crash.”  In addition, Dennis Hopper was set to appear in Australia at an art exhibit entitled “Dennis Hopper and the New Hollywood.”  The exhibit was to display art and photographs by Dennis Hopper.

 Dennis Hopper cancer headlines have made many people sad.  When actors such as Dennis Hopper have issues such as cancer, it touches the hearts of their fans.  Of course many people will be bummed that Dennis Hopper will miss some events, but Dennis Hopper’s cancer battle is far more important.

 According to the American Cancer Society, in 2009 approximately 192,280 new cases of prostate cancer (the cancer Dennis Hopper has) will be diagnosed, and 27,360 men will die as a result. However, more than 2 million men diagnosed with prostate cancer are still alive.

 Although prostate cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths in men, Dennis Hopper has a good chance of beating his cancer.  Dennis Hopper’s cancer is serious, but with the right treatment he should experience a recovery. The 5 year survival rate is nearly 100% and the 10 year survival rate is 91%.  The 15 year prostate cancer survival rate is 76%.  Modern advances are expected to increase these rates.

 Dennis Hopper cancer headlines are undoubtedly sad.  Many fans feel bad after finding out about Dennis Hopper’s cancer.  However, Dennis Hopper’s cancer is treatable, and hopefully Dennis Hopper will experience a full recovery.
