As the Blind Side crosses the $130 million mark (and counting), studio executives throughout Hollywood are ordering their assistants to send their congratulations to Bullock’s doorstep — often in bubbly, liquid form. “No one really drinks in our house, so we don’t really do anything with that,” the actress says, pulling her long hair into a loose pony tail. “But we get a lot of champagne!” The Blind Side comes just five months after Bullock made her long-anticipated return to her romantic comedy roots in The Proposal, which surpassed everyone’s expectations by going on to rake in $314 million worldwide.

The 45-year-old is enjoying the best year of her acting career, which may bode well for everyone who wants to see more well-told stories about grown women up on the big screen. “Sexism is everywhere. Ageism is everywhere. But you know know what? It’s about making money. Look at what Sarah Jessica Parker did with Sex and the City. Look at what Meryl Streep is doing” — she pauses to laugh — “every other week! The proof is in the pudding. I didn’t have the ‘Oh my God, I’m not working because I’m 40.’ I was working when I was 40. I’ve never had this many opportunities in my lifetime.”

Christie Brinkley and Billy Joel are both extremely upset over allegations made about their daughter Alexa Ray Joel that after a “dysfunctional family getaway with her mom” she attempted to take her own life.

Every parent can imagine the pain and anguish we face as parents of a daughter who is working to recover from the dangerous actions she took while suffering a devastating heartbreak. As much as we hate dignifying tabloid stories with a response, we feel we must set the record straight to protect our family.

The story that ran in the New York Post on December 8th, and has been subsequently spread across the Internet, is filled with vicious lies and attempts to smear our character and that of our beloved daughter. We ask the public and legitimate media outlets to please “consider the source” and to not further exacerbate our daughter’s situation by repeating and legitimizing these false reports.

With much appreciation,
Billy Joel & Christie Brinkley

Amanda Peet is pregnant again!

The actress, 36, and her husband of three years, screenwriter David Benioff are expecting their second child, her rep tells Usmagazine.com exclusively.

In 2007, Peet — who recently appeared in the sci-fi flick 2012 — welcomed daughter Frances “Frankie” Pen, whom she named after her mother, Penny.

eet has said motherhood is not what she expected.

“One surprise of motherhood for me was how little control I have,” she told Cookie magazine last summer. “I thought it would be an extended, blissful romance with me at the helm, cuddling this little creature to life. It’s been bittersweet and humbling to let her lead, and to try not to be perfect myself.”

Last month, Peet told Parade she hopes her daughter doesn’t grow up too fast.

“I’m trying not to think about what the world will be like when she grows up,” she said. “I think more about when is she going to start drinking and wearing a G-string and how can I stop those things from happening.”

In the midst of a custody battle against Sandra Bullock and Jesse James, Janine Lindemulder sat down with Life & Style on Dec. 4 to set the record straight about her controversial occupation, co-parenting with Sandra Bullock and Jesse James, and why she wants 5-year-old daughter, Sunny, back.

L&S: Why continue starring in adult movies?

Janine: I like my job. I’m good at it. I’ve been a porn star for 23 years. It’s what I did right out of high school. If I won the lottery, would I do it? No. I don’t see myself in this for very much longer.

L&S: Do you make enough to support Sunny?

Janine: At this moment, no. That’s why I’m not going into the courtroom saying I want her completely now. But I do have 50 percent legal custody.

L&S: Does Jesse help?

Janine: I’m not getting any money from Jesse. What would make him happy is if I just vanished off the planet. I’m in fear of what Jesse’s capable of doing. [I suspect that] he had a hacker erase 30 e-mails from when Sunny was born. The e-mails said, “I don’t want Sunny to have my last name. Find her a new daddy.” After he showed no interest in the first six months, I moved to Oregon. He said, “Good, the farther, the better.” He wanted nothing to do with Sunny for three years of her life.

L&S: Has Sandra reached out to you at all?

Janine: We haven’t even had a conversation. They couldn’t care less what I have to say. They changed Sunny’s school a while ago and didn’t tell me. I found out from Sunny.

L&S: So what’s next?

Janine: I want them to be in the picture. Let’s all get along and put our own issues aside. We’ve got another 13 years that we’ve got to deal with each other.
