Jesse James has issued a vague public apology to Sandra Bullock and his children, following a woman's claims that he's been having an affair with her.
In the apology, which James gave to People, he never directly admits to having an affair, but says, "There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me."
James says a "vast majority" of the allegations made against him are "untrue and unfounded," but says, "It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way."
Jesse goes on to say, "This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me."
We've been able to crack the code on the most interesting text message -- allegedly from Tiger Woods to Joslyn James -- in which he exploded in anger ... and this picture is a critical clue.
The photo was taken at Tao nightclub at around 1:30 AM on October 4, 2009. Tiger is chatting up someone in the lounge -- we're told one of many women that night. Hours later, Woods allegedly texted James -- who was also at Tao but not with Tiger -- that he "f**ked up last night."
Now cut to another text -- a half-hour later -- when a very pissed Tiger allegedly complains to Joslyn, "You would have ruined everything... Don't F**king talk to me. You almost just ruined my whole life."
So what was Tiger allegedly so mad about? A source tells us a frustrated Joslyn went to Tiger's hotel room the next morning and stayed there as Tiger entertained investors from Dubai. When he returned to the room, she was still in the room.
Tiger was angry because he felt Joslyn was getting reckless -- that he could have brought the investors back with him and they would have seen her ... which is why he said, "If my agent and these guys would have seen you there, F**k."
By the way, sportsbybrooks.com re-posted our pic early this AM -- good eye, guys.
Sandra Bullock's husband, Jesse James, may be juggling two problems. In addition to reports that he may have had an affair with a tattoo model, his dog, Cinnabun, is missing ... again.
HomeAgain, the tracking company that monitors microchips in pets, tells TMZ a report was filed with the company Monday saying Cinnabun had turned up missing. The company wouldn't say who filed the report.
HomeAgain sent emails out yesterday to residents in the Long Beach area -- in the vicinity of West Coast Choppers, where James kept Cinnabun -- saying, "I am asking for your help in finding my lost dog, Cinnabun." The email goes on ... Cinnabun was last seen wearing an orange, printed collar with her name and phone number. The dog is still missing.
You'll recall, Cinnabun went missing before on January 25 and turned up nearly a month later.
And there are reports that Sandra moved out of the couple's Long Beach home on Monday -- the same day Cinnabun went missing.
Jesse was spotted out and about this morning in Huntington Beach ... wearing his wedding ring.

Joslyn James pulled the trigger on her website, splashing more than 100 text messages Tiger Woods allegedly sent her -- and the messages hit topics that include slapping, choking, three-ways and golden showers.
The site, sextingjoslynjames.com, includes texts that say:
- OK, I would like to have a threesome with you and another girl you trust. - I want to treat you rough, throw you around, spank and slap you - Have you ever had a golden shower done to you? ... just morbid curiosity. - You are my f**king whore. Hold you down while I choke you
It's interesting ... Joslyn has omitted the messages she sent to Tiger, so we don't know what she said that may have egged him on.
And then there's this, on September 8, 2009: "Having a few issues at home. Might be a little later before I see you tonight." That text is followed by "parent hood melt down :)"
And the last message is dated October 4, 2009. It says, "Don't f**king talk to me. You almost just ruined my whole life. If my agent and these guys would have seen you there, F**k."
For the record, Tiger references golfing in three different tournaments in the texts: The Buick Open, Bridgestone Invitational, and BMW Championship -- he won all three.
TMZ has learned Ben Roethlisberger has pulled out of the Kraft Nabisco Championship Celebrity Pro-Am scheduled for March 29-April 4 in Rancho Mirage, CA.

Foxexecshave been in touch with several affiliates, "applying pressure" to put Conan O'Brien on the air between 11 and midnight ... sources tell TMZ.
It's the clearest sign so far that Conan is going to Fox.
Our sources say Fox execs and Conan's reps have been "seriously talking," though no deal has been made.
Some of the Fox affiliates have been resistant to running a Conan show, because they'd make more money with the current schedule of sitcom reruns such as "The Office."
Several execs at the affiliate stations are saying they have felt the pressure from Fox honchos to take O'Brien's show.
And we've learned execs at several major Fox affiliates are saying a deal is "imminent."

"South Park" set its sights on Tiger Woods last night.
The episode about sex addiction -- which featured supported roles by David Letterman, Bill Clinton, Ben Roethlisberger and Charlie Sheen -- had the boys try their hand at a video fight game pitting Woods against wife Elin Nordegren.
University of Oklahoma basketball star Keith "Tiny" Gallon may have violated a cardinal NCAA rule by accepting thousands of dollars from a guy who appears to have been courting him.
Gallon -- a freshman center for the Sooners - scored a $3,000 wire transfer last August, according to a document obtained by TMZ. The money was deposited in a bank account jointly held by Keith and his mom, Sylvia Wright.
As for who gave Keith the dough -- the document shows it's Jeffrey Hausinger, a Merrill Lynch financial advisor who reps several professional athletes.
It's a violation of NCAA rules for any player or player's relative to receive money that isn't readily available to other players -- for example, a student loan or scholarship. We're told the rule clearly prohibits any agent, lawyer or financial advisor from trying to lure a player with money.
Keith made headlines last week when he announced he would return to OU next year rather than turn pro.
OU Athletic Director Joe Castiglione says the school is committed to following NCAA rules, and "any activity not in compliance is taken seriously and is acted upon swiftly."
We could not reach Keith. His mom had no comment. We called Hausinger for comment about the $3,000 wire transfer -- he said, "I don't think I want to talk to you," and hung up.

Paula Deen's good name has been slandered, and she's filthy rich -- this is what TMZ has learned from a lawsuit filed by Paula Deen Enterprises.
It seems the Food Network star made a deal with Celebrity Chefs Tour to do cooking demonstrations before live audiences in various cities. Short story: Paula's company claims the $150,000 advance she was supposed to get bounced, and after waiting for full payment she walked away, claiming Celeb Chefs Tour breached the agreement.
Paula claims Celeb Chefs Tour defamed her by making it seem she bailed for no good reason.
But here's what's interesting: Aside from the $150,000 advance, Paula's deal would have guaranteed her $130,000 for each event which featured her in two culinary performances.
She wants more than a million bucks for the hassle.
