Sandra Bullock's PR machine has banked many interviews for the Oscar winner, but nobody was expecting Jesse James' clown car of mistresses to spoil the moment or occupy the headlines.

In the May issue of Success magazine (out April 6th) actress Sandra Bullock reveals that before she was one of Hollywood’s leading ladies she was picked on as a child by her classmates for a speech impediment. It was her mother who encouraged her to embrace her uniqueness, “Uniqueness is something my mother pounded into me. I’ve made peace with the fact that the things that I thought were weaknesses or flaws were just me, and I like them.” Bullock shares that she feels a responsibility to encourage other young people, particularly young women, to accept who they are and blaze their own trails. “What do I want to say to little girls that I know? Don’t change. Be who you are.”
The New York Post reported that Bullock addressed Woods' philandering while on the red carpet outside the People's Choice Awards to The Insider TV show.
When asked about Tiger's Thanksgiving night crash into a fire hydrant, and Nordegren's golf club moves, Bullock shared her thoughts.
"If I were Elin, man, I would have hit a lot more than she did," Bullock said. "I would have kept hitting."
Bullock went on to say:
"Yeah, she stopped, she was respectable. I'd get the baseball bat, I'd get everything out." Now Sandra's friends are speaking to the press and fueling speculation on what Bullock's next move will be in light of the many women (eleven according to the National Enquirer) who are lawyering up (attorney Gloria Allred) and spilling their tawdry guts all over Star, Us, TMZ, In Touch, People, The Insider, Hello!, OK!, Access Hollywood and anyone with a mic or website who will listen.

Says one Us insider: "I'd Be Shocked" if Sandra Bullock Went "Back" to Jesse
The "friend" tells the website to "not expect Jesse James and Sandra Bullock to reconcile any time soon."
"Knowing the kind of person she is, I'd be shocked if she contemplated going back to him," a pal of the actress, 45, tells the new issue of Us Weekly as a fourth woman comes forward claiming an affair with James, 40.
Finding out that her husband of nearly five years cheated on her "is probably one of the most devastating pieces of information she’s ever gotten," Bullock’s close friend and longtime costumer Joel Voorhies tells UsMagazine.com.
Seconds another insider, "It's as bad as when her mom died in 1997. She just can't look at him and can't talk to him."
Even "Blind Side" costar Tim McGraw, who plays Sandra Bullock’s husband is speaking out about the allegations of infidelity by her husband Jesse James.
"I haven't [reached out to Bullock]. You know, she's got a lot on her plate," McGraw, 42, tells Entertainment Tonight Canada in an interview airing Friday. "I just wish her nothing but the best."
McGraw, who spoke to ET Canada Thursday in Vancouver before his concert, added that Bullock, 45, can weather this marital storm. "She's tough," he says. "I'm not that tough."
Bullock reportedly returned to Los Angeles Tuesday night after hiding out in Austin, Tex., according to unconfirmed Internet reports.
"She feels embarrassed to show her face after giving that Oscar speech," the source adds. "He ruined her life."
"But don't feel sorry for Sandy," Voorhies says. "Sandy is one of the most intelligent, thoughtful, strong women. Everybody gets hurt. She will rise above it. She will make a decision that will work for her. This moment in time does not define who she is."
