Janine Lindemulder and Sandra Bullock dispute over the best interests of the 5-year-old daughter of Jesse James – Bullock’s current and Janine’s former husband.
Adult film star Janine Lindemulder and actress Sandra Bullock are currently locked in debate about the best interests of Sunny, the five-year-old daughter born to Lindemulder and Jesse James – a TV personality known from biker shows like Monster Garage.
The struggle stems from Lindemulder’s recent six-month prison stint in Oregon for tax evasion. She lost custody of her daughter after her conviction in late 2008. Now out of prison and living in a halfway house through 2009, the adult starlet, veteran of more than 100 adult films, argues that she remains a better mother for Sunny than Bullock.
Lindemulder sent ex-husband James a text message from prison reading “U win. Sandra finally has her baby – congratulations.” But reportedly, Lindemulder will seek to regain custody after leaving the halfway house. James has already asked a judge in Orange County, California, to decide which woman represents the better mom.
“Good cause exists for the court to conduct a review to determine if [Sunny] will be safe with [Janine],”James said in a statement to the court. “She should be restrained from allowing the child around pornographers, drug addicts, guns and firearms, felons and other unsafe environments.”
Bullock, who has never had children, recently commented on the situation to the degree that she is quite suited for parenting.
“I may never hear that word ‘mom’. But being a parent is not about breeding,” she said. “It’s about caring. And it’s easy to say, but it’s harder to do. When you don’t have that title, you flounder and it hurts. But this is the best test of being a parent. And I just have to keep reminding myself I don’t care what I get. I care what I give.”
Their careers may thrive on polar ends of a spectrum, but both Janine Lindemulder and Sandra Bullock use their appearances to augment their talents. Neither actress has concrete ties to plastic surgery – not now or in the past – but Bullock has been rumored to favor Botox injections, and Lindemulder has gotten the expected buzz about breast implants. Admittedly, their resumes have nothing in common. But, based on their own words, neither woman has perfection in mind.
“We all have cellulite,” Bullock told InStyle. “So do supermodels! I’ve been to the shows and I go, ‘Stick figure has some cellulite!’ It’s nature. Without it, you’re not human.”
Lindemulder’s official site includes a long interview offering her insights – including how she maintains her image through fitness. She makes no mention of plastic surgery.
“I’ll do about three months heavy training and then three months off,” she said. “Life’s too short to obsess about your body.”
