At the 2010 Oscar Awards celebration, Sandra Bullock seemed to have it all. She was a woman who appeared to have the perfect life, a successful career, the perfect marriage. Unfortunately, sometimes things are not alway as they seem. The day after the festivities were over, so, apparently was the illusion of her perfect life and marriage.
It seemed that over the next couple of weeks the story that unfolded about Jesse’s sexual escapades continued to explode. Jesse throughout has maintained that his indiscretions were a mistake and wants disparately to reconcile with Sandra. In order to prove to Sandra his sincerity, he has checked into a rehabilitation facility.
As rumors of their split circulate they are only further affirmed by the presence of a moving truck being spotted outside of their home removing belongings from the home, although it is hard to determine exactly who’s things were being removed from the residence.
There is to date 4 mistresses who have come forward with their stories of lured affairs with Jesse, but he has admitted to seven, one of whom is rumored to be pregnant. So far the other three women remain a mystery.
Adding to Sandra’s humiliation, it appears that Jesse paid for sex with one of his mistresses allegedly spending over $400 an hour to spend time with one time flame Michelle McGee. This all remains a shock to Sandra’s admirers who are many. She is a starlet who is known for her charitable acts, donating $1,000,000 of her own finances towards helping in the recovery of Haiti among other giving actions. Jesse always seemed an unlikely match as a man who is said to be cruel to animals and a racist, appearing to wear a Nazi hat in photographs.
It is unclear whether the split will happen, but if it does, Jesse will not get any of Sandra’s money due to a prenuptial agreement signed by both parties.
Celebrity Homestyle – Helen Mirren
Helen Mirren’s short-gun style house in the lower French Quarter of New Orleans could not be further from the palace that her character inhabited in her Academy Award winning role portraying Queen Elizabeth II in the 2006 Blockbuster hit “Queen”. Mirren lives in New Orleans with her husband Taylor Hackford, the accomplished and renowned director.
Although their roots are in the much more lavish style of old English, their home in New Orleans is a rare jewel. Although the house may seem unassuming curbside, the side courtyard encases the most beautiful and enticing open-aired living, dining and kitchen space imaginable. The entire layout is adorned with high cathedral ceilings, exuberant and elegant molding that mimics a period in time where luxury was an art form and rare.
The only thing that can compare to the beauty of the integrity of the home build is the decor which dresses it. An eclectic blend of Mirren’s collections of artwork ranging from old portraits to American busts offset perfectly the hand woven unassuming rugs, wrought iron tables and cushy day bed and sofas.
Mirren and Hackford have decorated their abode with warm and light paint colors that provide the well needed serenity to their home and haven, a sort of tranquil get away from their bustle and haired life. French doors with transom windows are abundant throughout as an architectural mainstay in the bedroom wing, where there is a mix of dramatic colored surfaces and textures surrounding. Vintage beds collected from their many travels each with their own shabby chic style and uniqueness match perfectly to their sunshine yellow walls.
Although living the high-life on the big screen Mirren and Hackford live a life of tradition and old world southern style in their unassuming New Orleans home. It is a low-key refuge from the formality of their English roots. It is in New Orleans where the two have found an escape, a hidden nirvana from the craziness of their day to day work. A haven to return home to.
