Jesse James Disses Ex-Wife Sandra Bullock

Watch it, Jesse James! That's America's sweetheart you're talking about.

Monday marked James' return to reality television with American Chopper: The Build-Off — and he didn't miss the chance to sling some mud about his ex-wife, Sandra Bullock. "I became a big shot and married some Hollywood actress and didn’t talk to anybody anymore, so I feel bad," James, 42, said. "I feel obligated to reconnect with all these people and show 'em that I'm still the same fabricator motorcycle guy. I'm not what I became."

The comment was a pretty obvious dig at Bullock, 47, his third wife, who divorced him in 2010 shortly after she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her work in The Blind Side. They were married for five years.

The split occurred largely due to James' alleged affair with Michelle McGee and other women. Afterwards, James tried to make it work with Kat von D, becoming engaged to her twice before calling it quits in July. Allegations of rampant cheating, again, were connected with the split.
