Baby goes with the bath water

James
From Wire Reports

As Sandra Bullock files for divorce and continues a previously secret adoption as a single mom, Jesse James says he has “a huge hole in my heart.”

But “considering the pain and devastation I have caused her, it would be selfish to not let her go,” he said Wednesday on People magazine’s website.

Earlier on the site, Bullock said she has filed for divorce following revelations of James’ infidelity and is continuing the process they began several months ago to adopt a newborn child, Louis.

James, who reportedly has sought sex addiction treatment, referred to now being his moment “to beat this addiction” and added, “I have always taken great pride in proving people wrong. That time has come once again to show that I am not what everyone says I am.”

Asked about James’ cheating, Bullock said she “had no idea about anything,” adding: “I did the only thing I could do, and that was to pack enough clothes to live on, get all of Louis’ things and get out of town. My main concern was Louis.”

Quaid charges vacated

Prosecutors on Wednesday dropped felony charges against Randy Quaid, though his wife will be on probation for three years after pleading no contest to defrauding an innkeeper.

The couple had also been charged with conspiracy and burglary after using an invalid credit card at two resorts.

Master of his driving?

Former “Seinfeld” star Jason Alexander won’t be cited after striking a 14-year-old bicyclist while driving Tuesday in L.A. The boy suffered minor injuries.
