Sandra Bullock jokingly claims she slept with Tiger Woods

Friday, January 8th, 2010

SPL139866_020Sandra Bullock had an awards show audience in stitches when she jokingly claimed she’d slept with Tiger Woods.

The 45-year-old film star cracked the golfer gag on stage at the People’s Choice Awards, after being Best Movie Actress.

Announcing the nominees, presenter George Lopez joked: “I have the honour of naming the five white women in America that Tiger Woods has not slept with.”

But when Bullock stepped up to collect her award, she said she needed to correct him.

“It’s only four women up here who have not slept with Tiger Woods,” she said, pulling an awkward face in front of the audience. “Just kidding. I’m so just kidding,” she added.

Bullock, whose movie The Proposal was named Best Comedy Film, also made actress Nicole Kidman blush by commenting on their similar hairstyles.

“I’d just like to say Nicole and I deliberately did our hair the same today,” she laughed, as cameras cast to the Aussie film star who covered her face in the seats below.

But Bullock’s jokes quickly turned to tears when she paid an emotional tribute to her family during the acceptance speech.

“Life is hard sometimes, but we get through with laughter,” she said, choking back tears.

“To my Dad – I hope you’re feeling better. And my husband, who is my boyfriend, who makes me feel like this every single day. He allows me to leave the house and he keeps things settled until I get back so I get to do what I get to do.”

Ryan O’Neal, 68, has signed up for a recurring role on the television series 90210, according to sources.

EW reports exclusively the veteran actor will play a movie star and father to the character Teddy, played by Trevor Donovan. Filming will start in April.

O’Neal was the dashing star of Love Story and Paper Moon and longtime partner of the late Farrah Fawcett. On a more sober note, his son with Fawcett, Redmond, was arrested on a day leave from court-ordered rehabilitation after reports of good progress. Fawcett passed away last June 25. O’Neal was grief-struck.

Ethan Hawke has claimed that his new vampire movie is the antidote to Twilight.

He said of Daybreakers: “We are the antidote to Twilight and True Blood. We are an old school horror movie. My hope is we will end the inundation of the genre. There’s always the saturation point. Maybe [its popularity] ended two weeks ago. I actually don’t think so,” he said.

Hawke plays a scientist in a world where vampires are the dominant species, after making short work of humans. Hawke’s character is trying to find a blood-free drink on which the vampires can feast without feeling guilty.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has admitted that the final movie has proved the ‘hardest film’ to make.

The 20-year-old actor plays the starring role in the wizarding film series and he is currently shooting the final movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which will be released in two parts.

He said: “It is the hardest film to do, absolutely. I’m not sure anyone would disagree with me on that one.

“But as long as you equal that kind of toughness with your enthusiasm, then it sort of goes away.

“When the seventh book came out, [producer] David Heyman finished it a couple of days before I did.

“He rang me up and said: ‘How do you fancy playing Hamlet?’

“Not that I would ever say this is the same, because it’s not. I think Hamlet’s a lot harder. But yeah, it is a rollercoaster.”
