Celebrity Justice
Charges Filed Against Jesse James' Alleged Attacker

The woman accused of trying to run over Sandra Bullock's motorcycle mogul hubby, Jesse James, is now facing two felony counts. Buckle up!
Jesse and Sandra
Moments ago, 56-year-old Marcia Valentine was charged with one count of aggravated assault and one count of felony stalking after she showed up to the famous couple's OC home on April 22 and allegedly tried to run James over with her silver Mercedes.

As TMZ first reported, Bullock, along with James' 10-year-old child, looked on in horror as Valentine allegedly carried out the attack. James told police that Valentine laid down in his driveway for several minutes before unleashing a barrage of obscenities and attempting to turn him into a human speed bump. Jesse was not struck by the car during the incident. Valentine was arrested by Orange County Sheriffs the following day and released on $25,000 bail.

If convicted on both counts, Valentine faces a maximum sentence of four years and eight months in prison.

Valentine is due back in court next week.

3. With crazy peeps like that out there, makes me appreciate being a normal family. I can't imagine always having to watch my back in public... if it's not the media intruding on your privacy, it's the whack jobs. Here's to being a simple folk!

4. Thank goodness she isn't famous or she would only get 23 days.
Must have been a terrifying experience for them. I hope she gets help so she will stay far away.

5. I am the first to admit when I am wrong and I was dead wrong on this one. But you have to realize that living around all the phoniness that California is and knowing of so many other deals that WERE set up for publicity, I am rather negative. My deepest regrets.

6. Sounds like another love triangle. They're all the rage these days. This has happened before, right Jesse? Remember?

8. No, Son of California Dreamer, after a while thought you might be on to something. You still might be. Time and court will tell. I don't blame you, really. Sometimes a duck is not a duck.

9. I am obviously out of the loop. You mean he has had women try to run him over before?

10. i don't know if i'm the only serial TMZ reader on this story...but i can't look at sandra bullock ever again w/o thinking of her throwing apples at someone :-) i swear, the day some interviewer hands her an apple i'll laugh my rear off!

11. TMZ - Listen. You have some faithful readers here. And you have some big talent on your staff. Would you please-pretty-please have someone do a photoshop of Sandra throwing an apple? Just for those of us "in the know"??? C'mon, this bunch will never know true happiness until you do. I don't know what you could do with me since you don't have my pic, but in a pinch you could use a pic of Loni Anderson (as a 10 year old if you can find one) on a bike, throwing a brick at a bitch's lower extremeties (not head, as someone intimated). If you can do either of these I will be in your debt.

12. I never thought this was a publicity stunt. It's to much every celebrities worse fear. Besides Sandra nor Jesse have a history of using high drama to get attention, they don't need too!.
I still do not understand what this nuts reasoning was, but then id most likely not comprehend it anyway.

She looks like a Charlie Manson follower.

14. Some of these child like links people leave are so stupid. They should be removed. They are potential death to your computer and they rarely have anything to do with the current blog.
