The Sandra Bullock and Jesse James show

Latest on the

Sandra Bullock

-

Jesse James

scandal: Nothing says "I've washed that love rat out of my hair" more than a virtual, two-finger salute to your no-doubt soon-to-be ex-husband on Facebook.

Still reeling after news broke of her husband Jesse James' alleged affair with tattooed creature

Michelle "Bombshell" McGee

, Sandra Bullock appears to have stuck the knife in her five-year marriage and declared it done. Or has she?

Single lady

America's sweetheart Bullock has changed her relationship status on what appears to be her

official Facebook page

to 'single'.

If it's legit (and we're raising a cynical eyebrow here), it gives an insight into her relationship with James.

Whether we can swallow the notion that Bullock's been updating her Facebook page while the scandal surrounding her hubby's alleged infidelity gathers pace, is another matter. But still, let's suspend our disbelief for a minute.

And while our probing minds are up there in the gossip clouds, getting intoxicated on sweet scandal, let's put pedal to the metal and do a wrap of what we currently know about this bombastic 'bombshell':

*

The hit - McGee said in an interview with

In Touch

magazine last week that she had an 11-month fling with James. An affair that allegedly took place while Bullock was away filming her Oscar-friendly role in

The Blind Side

.

"I would never have hooked up with him [James] if I thought he was a married man," McGee said. "He gave me the impression they were separated." Yeah right.

Word is McGee sold her story to

In Touch

for $30,000. So that's the going rate for the tabloid equivalent of a drive-by shooting these days...

The timing of the tell-all in the magazine couldn't have been better - just as Bullock was on a personal high after winning the Best Actress Oscar.

*

Bullock found out that

In Touch

had the tell-all scoop via her publicist. Hence her pulling out of the London premiere of

The Blind Side

due to "personal issues".

*

Sorry - James issued an apology last week saying he was "sorry" for the grief he's caused his family. But he stopped short of saying what he was sorry for. As mea culpas go, it's right up there with

Tiger Woods

' euphemism-packed talk of "transgressions".

*

Bullock has definitely left the marital home. Her whereabouts are unknown.

*

Kean-Hugh help? Bullock has reportedly been crying on former co-star

Hugh Grant's shoulder

in her time of need.

Ditto

with her

Speed

co-star

Keanu Reeves

.

*

Team Bullock - The actress gets outpouring of love, support from fans. Bottom line: Everyone seems to be on Team Bullock. Net forums, blogs filled with support for her.

*

James is the most hated man in America. Even

Donald Trump

has chimed in on the stink, calling him "deceptive" and "cunning". Trump spoke to

Page Six

about James and his appearance on TV show

Celebrity Apprentice

last year.

"As the show progressed, you realised that he was very smart and very cunning," said Trump.

"He didn't get along with the people on the show, but I sort of got to like him, at least as much as such a sullen personality can be liked... Don't underestimate Jesse, he is very deceptive, and what you see is not really what you get."

A ringing endorsement there then.

*

There are numerous reports that McGee is into white supremacy, and even has the initials "W" and "P" tattooed on her legs. Initial reports suggested the letters stood for "White Power."

It's since been revealed the initials stand for something else entirely...[Ed note. We're so not going there!]

Here are some snaps of McGee and her

Nazi pose

.

And this is what she looked like

before she dipped herself in ink

.

James has been snapped

wearing his wedding ring

amid talk that he's begging Bullock for forgiveness.

But forgiveness is clearly something that is not on his ex-wife's mind. James' porn star ex

Janine Lindemulder

has just filed for legal custody of their six-year-old daughter Sunny.

James was granted custody of their daughter after Lindemulder was thrown in the slammer for tax evasion. She's now shacked up in a halfway house somewhere and thinks she has a shot at getting some custodial rights.

Seriously, this whole saga has more kinks than a cheap garden hose.

*

Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's back to work she goes - Michelle "Bombshell" McGee has brushed the scandal aside and returned to her day job - lap dancing.

TMZ published a video of the vamp frolicking on stage at a San Diego strip joint last week.

We've clapped eyes on it, and to be honest, despite it being surprisingly SFW (Safe For Work), we're not going to post it here. She can do her own self-promoting.

Word is McGee is wounded that James hasn't been in touch since the revelations, but still has nice things to say about him.

"He was a nice guy - most guys who do what he does have an attitude," she told

The New York Post

. "But he was gentle." Pass us a bucket.

Meanwhile, McGee is locked in a custody battle of her own with her ex-husband Ronald Shane Modica. According to court documents filed in San Diego, California on Friday, Modica now seeks temporary and legal custody of Avery, their five-year-old son.

And that's a wrap, folks. Stay tuned as inevitably more of James' dirty laundry gets washed in public.

Strength and honour to you, Bullock.

Update:

Bullock's

just pulled out of a scheduled appearance

at the premier of

The Blind Side

in Germany.

Moving right along....

We loved this tidbit about a casting call for the next instalment of

Pirates Of The Caribbean

. According to

The New York Post

, Mickey Mouse custodian Disney recently put out a call for ladies to appear in the new flick.

But here's the punchline: Ladies with fake boobs need not apply. A memo circulated around Los Angeles by casting directors last week said they were seeking "beautiful female fit models. Must be 5ft 7in-5ft 8in, size 4 or 6, no bigger or smaller. Age 18-25. Must have a lean dancer body. Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants."

They warned that ladies will be subjected to a "show and tell" day with costume designers and producers. Oh, and also be expected to run - no doubt Hollywood's way of detecting whether what's up on top is fake or not. No movement from the waist up is a total fake asset giveaway.

A former casting agent tells the

Post

: "In the last movie, there were enhanced breasts to give that 18th-century whorish look, and men were pretty well padded too, and no one worried.

"But times are changing, and the audience can spot false breasts." Only in Hollywood!

Speaking of Pirates...
