Actress Sandra Bullock pulls out of UK premiere
Sandra Bullock has pulled out of the UK premiere of The Blind Side after her husband Jesse James was linked with a tattooed model.

The Hollywood star, who scooped the best actress Oscar last week, is no longer able to travel to the UK for the glitzy bash, with Warner Bros citing "unforeseen circumstances".

"Due to unforeseen personal reasons, a trip abroad to support the opening of The Blindside has been deemed impossible at this time", a statement released by Warner Bros on behalf of Bullock said.

"I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your understanding and continued support of the film."

Michelle McGee told US magazine In Touch that she initially made email contact with James's motorbike company looking for modelling work.

Bullock was said to be making The Blind Side around this time.

She has paid tribute to her husband at award ceremonies in the past, saying at the Golden Globes: "There's no surprise that my work got better when I met you, so thank you."

The premiere had been due to take place next Tuesday at the Odeon West End in London. Bullock was scheduled to attend with her co-star, newcomer Quinton Aaron.

The movie is based on the true story of Michael Oher and his journey from virtual homelessness to becoming one of American football's biggest stars.

Bullock won the gong for her role as Leigh Anne Tuohy, a well-heeled mother who takes Michael under her wing.
