Jesse James has not yet given up on his marriage to Sandra Bullock.

"Jesse is in love with Sandra," James' attorney Joe Yanny told the Associated Press Friday. The biker mogul checked into a rehab center earlier this week following numerous reports of his infidelity; Yanny would not specify what precisely his client is being treated for.

"This whole thing has destroyed Jesse's entire universe," Yanny said. "Right now, he's a broken man."

"The single most important thing to Mr. James and the children is that the marriage somehow survive."

In a statement, James said, "It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way." He didn't detail the specific allegations of affairs with Michelle "Bombshell" McGee and other women.

"The allegations back and forth about what happened - those are private matters to be resolved between a husband and a wife," Yanny said. "He certainly will come out of this a better man...I hope he comes out of it with the things in life that he cherishes."

James, 40, faces an uphill battle: Bullock sources say in the new issue of Us Weekly that the actress, 45, "definitely" plans to file for divorce from her husband of nearly five years. "She is over him," the friend adds. The estranged spouses have kept in touch via short, not-so-sweet phone calls. "When they do talk, it's very little and very nasty," the friend explains. "She won't forgive him for this."

Bullock emerged briefly from hiding on Wednesday afternoon to visit the Beverly Hills home of billionaire Gabriel Brener.

    oops! I forgot to say....."this has destroyed Jesse's universe! He's still in love with Sandra!" HUH?? Who destroyed Jesse's universe? Jesse! No one else! This pathetic weak link......is grasping at straws! How hard would it have been to support his divine wife? Way too hard if you are a pathetic loser.

    How pathetic. He wants his marriage to survive! He systematically destroyed it all by himself! By cheating repeatedly. A"mistake" is forgetting an address.....or someone's name! Repeatedly cheating and lying is not a "mistake"!! I hope Ms. Bullock sticks to her character. She made a mistake. He is a pathetic loser. He has no moral fiber. He has no courage. He is unable to deal with her success; so he has to seek the tatoo queen. ICK How too bad. I wish her well.

    THERE GOES THE "REHAB TRICK", HE WAS NOT THINKING OF SANDRA WHEN HE WAS TATTOING INSIDE THAT GIRLS HAAAAAAAAAA

    Amazing the size of Jesse's ego - to think that it's OK to betray Sandra. This unattractive, fat, sloppy, grungy, tatoo-riden, low life, who should have knelt to thank God for bringing an agel (a FUNNY, intelligent, talented agnel) to his life - one who loved him more than he could imagine, raised him above his own frame of reference and one who WAS thankful for him. Sandra's deep love for what she believes was a man who really LOVED and Cared for her, might have her soften in time, which is what JJ is counting on; that's why all this rhetoric ab out his being sorry, taking the pain, etc., coz he KNOWS how warm and forgiving she is and he's COUNTING on that. Unfortunately, this bum is such lowlife that Sandra would forever need to be looking around, checking if she should worry about STDs

    RIGHT!!! Keep dreaming Jesse!!! And I'm sure every poster here wants a winning Lottery ticket!!! probabbly not going to happen for most of us- but I wuld rather all the posters her-myself included win the Lottery instead of beautiful,talented sweet Sandra getting back with a creep like you!!! I am sure Sandra will find herself a PRINCE instead of having to kiss a FROG yet again!!!

    He still loves her? He has a strange way of showing it. Sorry Sandra, for that man putting a taint on your award. The man only loves himself, I had one like that too and threw him to the curb. Who knows what kind of diseases they can bring home to you. We love you Sandra.....keep on keepin on!

    Jesse only loves himself and they have mechanical devices for that.

    Why is it when these men are caught they are so "SORRY"? My heavens didn't you think of the consequences when you were found out, you are only sorry because everyone caught you, if you truly love someone you wouldn't mess off on them in the first place idiot! My my my what shame & humiliation will do to that fat ego! Run Sandra run & don't EVER look back, some men are just born CHEATERS! Tiger fits into the same catagory, Brad, Mel, & the list goes on, run women run, if they did it to one they'll do it to you, mark my every word!They think with the wrong HEAD!

    Rehab...for what? Just another something to not take responsibility for what you did. Jesse doesn't have an addiction, he just thought he was hot stuff with no regard for his wife. So now let's call it an addiction, and let's get treatment to save your marriage so you can continue to have your 15 minutes of fame. Please. Sandra put on your Nikes that you can borrow from Tigers wife and sprint like you have never sprinted before far, far, far from this moron. You are a class act - only class if this guy is low - so very low. Open your heart to the future and it will be good to you. What a lowlife.

    I'm glad she is not forgiving him!!! She deserves better! Maybe Elin should follow her lead!!!

  • April 03, 2010 - 4:57am mel

    if he was so in love why cheat??same with Tiger.They get married to sweet beautiful women then cheat with prostitutes, strippers and skanks!makes no sense to me.Elan and Sandra should be thankful they didn't get aids and walk away.

    Jesse remains in denial: It sounds like he can't believe that "this thing has destroyed his marriage." Uh, Jesse: That was your thing that did it, with you at the helm, mister. And as far as his marriage "somehow surviving," what magic spell would that be? Take every ounce of responsibility, get your act together for yourself and your kids, and then see what life offers. Until then, stop prolonging this embarrassment and unkindness; if you really love Sandra, be quiet, let her call the shots, and take what you have coming to you.

    To Maggie, it was not her mother's dying wish to get married. Sandra Bullock's mother told her not to get married. 'The Proposal' actress - who was largely single until she wed motorbike enthusiast Jesse James in 2005 -was warned off married life by her late mother Helga Meyer, who told her she should focus on her acting career instead. She revealed: "Believe me, my mother was like, 'Don't marry. Have a career.' Also, her mother died before she got married, but her mother's song was played at their wedding. Sandra will get over this, she is a strong woman.

    It's interesting to see the public opinions of Jesse vs Tiger. The majority of people think Sandra should leave this guy, whereas the majority of people think Elin should work it out with Tiger. There is more hate for Jesse than for Tiger, which is very interesting to me considering Tiger had more affairs (that we know of anyway). So why is that? Is it because Sandra is America's seetheart and Elin is not? Is it because Sandra does not have any children to Jesse (biologically), and Elin has kids to Tiger? Or is it because Jesse has tattoos and is considered low-class and Tiger has a tonne of money and considered high-class? Can someone please tell me why the public is more forgiving of Tiger's infidelities than Jesse's??

    I forgot to add this one. My husband has this saying "if you can get her, you can have her"!!!

  • April 03, 2010 - 2:28am M.J.

    If he was so in love with her, he would have kept it in his pants!!! Just because there is the temptation out there doesn't mean you have to indulge in it...
