SANDRA BULLOCK - BULLOCK AND JAMES LAUGH OFF FAN ATTACK

LATEST: SANDRA BULLOCK and JESSE JAMES are "doing fine" after an obsessed fan tried to run over the actress' husband earlier this month (22Apr07), because the couple are now able to laugh about the incident. In a police report obtained by TMZ.com, authorities in Orange County claim James had to dodge Marcia Valentine's Mercedes as she "attempted three or four times" to hit the TV motor mechanic outside their home in California on 22 April (07). Luckily neither Bullock nor her husband were hurt in the attack, and the pair can now look back on the incident with a sense of humour, according to close friend George Lopez, whose TV comedy The George Lopez Show is produced by Bullock. He says, "They always do (have a sense of humour). It surprised me. It's unfortunate that with celebrity comes that kind of thing, and it's unfortunate that you really can't do anything until somebody does something like this." Lopez' wife Ann adds, "We had dinner with them the night after it happened and they were both fine, and they were both talking about it. I guess this person had been harassing them for some time and actually her going that far was a good thing, because they weren't able to put her away before - you know, the way the laws are, until you (can) actually do something, sometimes that's too late." Valentine allegedly drove off before authorities arrived on the scene, but was taken into custody the following day (23Apr07) on charges of assault with a deadly weapon.
