Sandra Bullock, It Was Not Meant To Be: Jesse James Said 'Sorry to Wife and Kids' and Blames Cheating Allegations on Poor Judgment

One day after In Touch exclusively exposed Jesse James’ steamy affair, the biker has confirmed his wrongdoings. "It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way," he was quoted as saying, before apologizing to his wife and and three children. "I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me," he added. Tattoo model Michelle “Bombshell” McGee revealed her 11-month relationship with the former Celebrity Apprentice star, married to Oscar winner and fan-favorite Sandra Bullock.....

Why Jesse? Why Now, especially after the heart-felt shutout on Oscar night?

Official Google Blog: A different kind of company name

On April Fool's Day, April 1, 2010, Google changed its name to Topeka in a funny nod to the Kansas capital that wants to be considered as the test site for Google's planned super-fast fiber optic network.  Topeka may have a good chance of landing this great project launched by Google.

DonateMyDress.org Helps the Prom Season Get Started

The prom season is upon us again. Whether school principals, teachers, parents and students want it or not, there will be many proms to attend this year. In a recession, spending on prom dresses and prom accessories may become a problem for many prom girls.

This is where DonateMyDress.org comes in. It is a national network of dress-drive organizations that collects and distributes special-occasion outfits for prom, sweet sixteens or sweet 16, and quinceaneras. This network is well known by the teen celebrities. It is on their list. Starlets or celebrities like helping these types of feel-good organizations with their donations. For example, Ashley Green, a Twilight star, gave many of her party dresses to DonateMyDress.org. Find her gold goddess number and right blue cocktail dress on the website. Other stars include but are not limited to Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift. It is all about famous girls helping needy girls.

Without the work of Tammy Tibbetss, editor of DonateMyDress.org and MyPromStyle.com, many of these gorgeous dresses would not be seen. Many parents will feel blessed to find such nice outfits on the network especially in a crunched time such as this recession. Get ready to see nicely redone dresses such as black strapless and frilly fuschia frock. Dresses can have many lives. On this network, older sister's and friends' dresses can be worn again and again to various ceremonies and formal occasions.

Why pay over $300 for a prom dress when you can tweak bridesmaid dresses? According to Tammy Tibbetts, all of these dresses are like blank canvas. With this economic downturn, she is advising that girls get more realistic and become cost-conscious.
