Sandra Bullock: Was Jesse James Really at People Magazine Photo Shoot?

Report claims embattled Monster Garage star was with the Oscar winner when she was shot for cover

Jesse James is reported to have been at the photo shoot for Sandra Bullock's recent People magazine cover.

So, why wasn't that pointed out in the story, which detailed her adoption of baby Louis along with the collapse of her and James' marriage? Well...

It turns out People editors didn't know the Monster Garage star was there because it wasn't their shoot, sources tells us. The Oscar winner simply handed over pics of her and Louis to the magazine for its big exclusive. Plus, if James was there, it's not exactly relevant to the mag's sit-down with the actress because the photos were reportedly taken before Bullock learned of his cheating.

Meanwhile, both Bullock and James have been spotted in the Austin area in the last 24 hours—but not together.

Bullock was seen this morning at Walton's Fancy and Staple, the deli and café she owns on 6th Street. "Little Louis was in a high chair and was also held by one of the people she was meeting with," an eyewitness tells E! News, adding that the actress "seemed happy and normal, sipping on coffee."

James was photographed visiting an attorney's office and having lunch with a group of people at Flores Mexican restaurant in nearby Dripping Springs. Says a fellow diner, "He seemed fine, just like one of the guys."
