14 DAY TRIAL // It’s Friday so this means that, as usual, the US weeklies come out with a fresh new issue. Allowing Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie the chance to catch their breath (only figuratively, of course, because they don’t care about this), the tabs are focusing this week on Sandra Bullock and her adopted baby boy, Louis – stories via here.
Both Star magazine and the National Enquirer are saying that things are not all rosy for the mother and child. The former tab claims that Sandra is now living with her bodyguard and is slowly starting to rebuild her life, but Jesse James is none too happy about being replaced so easily. Apparently, he’s raging with jealousy because the bodyguard, who was once his personal driver, is slowly replacing him in Louis’ life.
“Jesse’s always been a superjealous guy to being with, but seeing Sandra and Damian together has really put him over the edge,” a so-called friend says for Star in its latest print issue. “Damian is younger, better looking and more level-headed than Jesse. Add the fact that he used to drive 18-wheelers between California and Texas for Jesse, and it’s not hard to understand why he’s seeing red,” the spy further dishes. Sandra’s rep insists, though, that Damian the bodyguard is not living in the same house as his client.
Then comes the National Enquirer story, which makes a series of more alarming claims, for which reason one can only hope it’s based on hearsay. Admittedly, Sandra has been surrounding herself with bodyguards – as many as 15 – after receiving threats from racists and all kinds of extremists. As it’s must be common knowledge by now, Louis, the actress’ adopted boy, is black and it’s on this that the threats are based. Sandra is out of her mind with worry, the tab claims, citing well-placed but unnamed sources.
“‘Sandra’s baby is in extreme danger!’ a Los Angeles police source close to Bullock’s security detail told the Enquirer. Alarming mail directed at the cute youngster bristles with hate. ‘He’s better off dead,’ fumed one, and another ominously threatened to ‘take him back to where he belongs,’ according to the police source… ‘The threats began developing during her ugly split from Jesse as details about little Louis became known… And the FBI indicates there are several radical groups who want to harm her and the child’,” the Enquirer writes.
