Sandra Bullock, 44, is gearing up for her promotional tour of that horrible-looking romantic-comedy The Proposal, costarring Ryan Reynolds. The Proposal is out in June, so obviously Sandra is the June cover girl for Harper’s Bazaar (story via US Weekly). The cover is actually lovely – Sandra looks about fifteen years younger, and her hair is styled beautifully.

The interview is pretty much the same interview Sandra has given for the past three years. A little about how surprised she is to find herself settled down with husband Jesse James, stuff about how she’s not sure if she’ll ever have children, blah, blah. She doesn’t talk about her stepchildren (Jesse has two daughters and a son from previous relationships), which I totally understand. But still, I feel like I’ve read this stuff a million times from her. I think that Sandra is trying to be boring, a.k.a. “pull a Jennifer Garner”. Like, Sandra doesn’t want publicity for anything other her films, so when she has to put herself out there on promotional duties, she just says the same stuff over and over:

Sandra Bullock isn’t sure she and husband Jesse James will have kids.

“You don’t have to give birth to someone to have a family. I’m not going to spend two seconds of my life wishing I had something I don’t,” The Proposal (out June 19) actress, 44, tells the June issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

“It’s hard to do it your way when you hear everyone else telling you to do it their way,” she continues. “I just want people to admit that there’s no one way to live your life.

But that doesn’t mean she won’t change her mind later.

“Of course, I don’t know what’s going to happen,” she says.

Bullock married James, the CEO of West Coast Choppers and host of Motorcycle Mania, in July 2005. She’s had to adjust to letting him take care of her.

“I’ve had to learn a hard lesson in that I’m not allowed to open car doors anymore,” she says. “It was so hard for me to allow someone to take care of me. It’s not because I can’t take care of myself. But Jesse was like, ‘Just let me do this.'”

Ever since entering her 40s, she’s let go of a lot of hangups.

“I didn’t have a teenage or early-20s experience that was free and without worry. I missed the screw-everything, have-a-good-time phase,” she says. “I was worried that if I didn’t stay on track and work, work, work, I was never going to accomplish anything.

“Now I’m trying to have fun and have the freedom to do nothing,” she goes on.

I used to be a huge Sandra Bullock fan, back in the day. She just seemed so funny and real, truly like someone who could be your funny, crazy neighbor. Not so much any more, at least to me. Part of it is probably that Sandra has grown up a lot over the past few years, after losing her mother and marrying Jesse James. I totally understand that – she’s not so “girlish” any more, she’s a woman. But why is this new Sandra Bullock still making the same crappy romantic comedies? And don’t say that she’s an actress and she’s just going where the work is… Sandra is a powerful producer who can greenlight a film. She can pick and choose her projects, and it just seems like she’s chosen to do the same old crap that got me disliking her in the first place.
