Sandra Bullock: "I live for Top Gear"
When Sandra Bullock married motorcycle builder and former Monster Garage host Jessie James, we were a bit surprised. After all, how many Hollywood mega stars marry glorified mechanics? Now comes news from the California Chronicle that Ms. Bullock is a big Top Gear fan, adding "I love Top Gear. I live for Top Gear." That quote alone instantly makes the successful actress one of the more credible movie-makers in Southern California – well, at least to us.
Bullock reportedly loves TG so much, that she's angling for a spot as a Star in a Reasonably Priced Car, adding "one day I will be on Top Gear, even though the helmet would make me look so bad - and one day I would like to wreck the car in a blaze of glory." If Marky Mark can do it, we're sure Ms. Bullock would be just fine.
Bullock says the reason she loves TG is the show's hosts, and for that reason she says she's glad the U.S. version of the show was a flop before it even started. We never knew we had so much in common with Miss Congeniality. Well, her big break did come in the movie Speed, so she couldn't be too bad, right?

She just went up 1 point in my books. Where do I sign to marry her?

You sign where polygamy is legal and you don't mind an ass kicking from Jesse James.

He won't have to wait long Iwa. After all, "Jessie James is a Dead Man." I'm sure Mr. SovietRussia here will be around to console the widow. ;)

She's pretty and she's good at what she does (acting in comedies)--this is icing on the cake.

@James
I think she's just a plain ILF.

Is it just me or did she just instantly get more attractive?

I love Top Gear too...i can't build motorcycles but I'm sure I have other qualities that she would see equally or more impressive than the dude she married...=P

That would be lame. That whole segment of the show is rather stupid. I would like to see Jessie take the reasonably priced car into the Monster Garage and make it the ultimate sleeper (unknown to the Top Gear hosts) and when he runs the track he could blister it and then blow up the car - or something equally Jessie in nature.

@ epyx:
thats not a terrible idea, but it would have to be simple upgrades like suspension, slicks and reduced weight. anything else would be too noticeable. smoke pouring off the tires at launch would indicate big power upgrades.

just modify the car and see if he can die when doing the lap a few hundred times to beat the fastest time

They kinda, sorta did that already when they tried to make the Vel Satis go as fast as an Evo 8 (was it 8, or 10? I dunno). I can't remember the outcome, but I do recall it actually going slower when they upgraded the brakes and suspension.

I feel the same way. Thank god we didn't embarrass ourselves in the USA with our own version of Top Gear. Also i vote to have Jesse James have a run on the reasonably priced car.

A few observations on Sandra.
1. She must be a sex freak - before her Jessie strictly focused on strippers and porn stars - no way he got it ALL out of his system. He is also pretty extreme so I doubt he is content with the missionary. LOL
2. I cant stand her but it is pretty cool that she likes Top Gear. I disagree with her glee over the early demise of the Corrolla Top Gear - Ace man is hilarious and although the new show would be lesser version of the the original, I am sure it would still have some merit. I would like to see the pilot at least. Best case scenario would be some collaborative shows in the US with Leno and Corrolla as guest stars. That would be cool and interesting.
3. Did she not make it before Speed? That movie sucked big time - but that is more Keaneu's fault and not Sandra's. I thought she was around in annoying movies before that, maybe not.
