Sandra Bullock

Fan ordered to stay away from Bullock

May 12th, 2007

Sandra Bullock won a restraining order against a fan she says repeatedly visited her home and tried to run down her husband, Jesse James.

The actress testified in court Friday that on five occasions, Marcia Valentine left in her yard palm fronds adorned with “weird signs” and “pieces of animal fur.”

Orange County Superior Court Judge Thomas Borris found “clear and convincing evidence” of stalking and issued a three-year order barring Valentine from contacting or coming within 500 yards of Bullock, James or his three children.

The judge also gave the couple permission to record phone calls or videotape Valentine if she violates the order.

Valentine did not attend the hearing. Attempts to call her were unsuccessful.

Valentine, 45, of Huntington Beach, was arrested in April for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon. She remained free on $25,000 bail pending a May 22 court hearing.

Prosecutors said they were still reviewing the case and have not decided whether to file charges.

Bullock testified that after Valentine was spotted April 22 outside the couple’s home in Sunset Beach, her husband went outside and tried to write down the woman’s license plate when she aimed her Mercedes-Benz at him.

James, host of TV’s “Monster Garage,” was not hurt.

The “Crash” and “Miss Congeniality” star will produce as well as act in the film, to be titled “All About Steve,” according to movie industry journal The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie is about a crossword obsessive who becomes convinced that a cameraman for cable network CNN is the love of her life on the basis of a single date together.
