Jesse James could've been a dead man yesterday afternoon when the train he was riding in collided with a semi-truck hauling a load of tomatoes.
Jesse and his 11-year-old son were among 279 passengers on the choo-choo as it rolled through Monterey County, California -- when it suddenly plowed through the semi which was inconveniently stopped on the tracks.
Amtrak and the California Highway Patrol confirmed no one was hurt in the ketchup-creating crash ... which would have made for some really, really awesome video.
James posted photos of the wreckage on his Twitter page, saying "This trip is turning out to be a real train wreck ... train was going 70 mph, good thing the truck wasn't Peterbuilt. Would have been Tragic."

A guy from Omaha claims Jesse James just doesn't deliver.
According to a lawsuit filed today in L.A. Superior Court, in 2005 Michael Jones commissioned James' West Coast Choppers to build him a 1949 Cadillac Sedanette for somewhere between $250,000 and $350,000. But, according to Jones, after shelling out $270,000 in payment over two years, the car wasn't completed and James told him the car would now cost between $600-700k!
Jones is suing for breach of contract and fraud and asking for the $422,680 he eventually sunk into the car as well as interest, damages and court costs.
BTW -- Jones still doesn't have the car. A rep for James could not be reached for comment.

The woman accused of trying to run over Sandra Bullock's motorcycle mogul hubby, Jesse James, is now facing two felony counts. Buckle up!
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.

TMZ was in court this morning as an Orange County Superior Court judge granted Sandra Bullock protection from an obsessed fan.
Marcia Valentine was ordered to stay at least 500 yards away from Bullock, her husband motorcycle mogul Jesse James and his children for three years. The judge also made it clear that the A-list couple could use video and audio surveillance as protection.
Bullock, even though she was not required to be there, took this matter so seriously she was present in court to request the restraining order.
According to cops, Bullock and James' 10-year-old child looked on in horror as Marcia "attempted three or four times to run Jesse James over with her silver Mercedes."
Jesse was unhurt during the alleged incident.

TMZ has learned that Sandra Bullock filed a request for a restraining order in an Orange County Court to gain protection from obsessed fan Marcia Valentine -- who attempted to run over Sandra's motorcycle mogul husband, Jesse James.
In court documents, Bullock describes the recent horrifying incident in which Valentine made several attempts to run over Jesse with her Mercedes -- saying Valentine also allegedly trespassed onto their grounds, and that she entered the "property on several occasions, and threw numerous signs and other objects over their gate."
The request also asks for protection for Jesse's three minor children.
As TMZ first reported, Valentine was arrested early the next day by Orange County Sheriffs Deputies. Maria has since made bail and is awaiting her next court date.

Police sources tell TMZ that a woman obsessed with Sandra Bullock almost killed Sandra's husband, motorcycle mogul Jesse James, during a frightening attack at the couple's Orange County home late Sunday night.
Cops say that Bullock, along with James' 10-year-old child, looked on in horror as Marcia Valentine "attempted 3 or 4 times to run Jesse James over with her silver Mercedes." Jesse was never struck by the car during the alleged incident.
We're told Valentine also "laid in the driveway and wouldn't move."
Orange County Sheriffs were contacted and responded to the scene, but Valentine allegedly fled before they arrived. After an intense manhunt, officers located Valentine early Monday morning and took her into custody.
Valentine is being held on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
UPDATE: In an exclusive statement to TMZ, the couple's rep, Cheryl Maisel, said, "The incident did occur. Both Jesse James and Sandra Bullock are fine and it is now in the hands of the authorities."

Hollywood valets had it rough last night.
After a broke Jessica Simpson stiffed a parking attendant, reality star Jack Osbourne accused car parkers of ripping him off! Jack let us in on one of his New Year's resolutions: He's not going to talk to us anymore! He laughed that off. Then he thought the valets were trying to charge him double. Jack, sounds like instant karma to us.
Rocker P!nk and hubby Carey Hart got a holiday present from Sandra Bullock and Jesse James, who ran interference on the paparazzi so they could quietly sneak out of Mr. Chow in Hollywood.
A modest John Cho of "Harold and Kumar" also hit the town last night along with Andy Dick and Alfonso Ribiero, "90210" hottie Ian Ziering. And last, but certainly not least, the legendary Kirk Douglas, 90, at Mr Chow.
See it all and more in today's Star Catcher.

There was a lot going down last night in the Big Apple and we were all over the place to bring you another Gotham edition of Star Catcher.
We started our night outside the premiere of the flick "Infamous" where we spotted the star of the movie Sandra Bullock hand in hand with bad boy hubby Jesse James. Also on hand Josh Lucas, a stunning Naomi Watts, Parker Posey and Sandra's co-star Sigourney Weaver.
From there we hit up the east coast version of Hyde -- Butter -- where we caught up with the talented Cuba Gooding Jr., "American Idol" reject Constantine Maroulis and hip-hop mogul Damon Dash, who was still getting his grind on.
All this and much more in today's Big Apple Star Catcher.

4) Tim Just Has GOTTA KNOW: Will Britney be coming to Milwaukee, Wisconsin anytime soon, and if so, when?
As of right now, it appears to TMZ that Britney is focusing more on her career as a mother as opposed to her career on tour. She recently announced on'The Late Show' that she is expecting her second child with hubby Kevin Federline. Unless she plans on toting her babies on tour, we don't think you can expect Ms. Spears in Milwaukee. Take a look at 'Britney's Big Announcement.
5) Michael Has Just GOTTA KNOW: What's going on with Gwen Stefani?
May 26, 2006 marked an epic day in the lives of Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale -- Gwen gave birth to Kingston James McGregor Rossdale, the couple's first child together. Since Kingston's birth, Gwen has no definite plans as of yet to get back in the studio to begin recording, according to her spokesman, Dave Tomberlin. However, we're sure that putting all of her time and energy into her new family are top priority. Take a look at TMZ's story on the blessed event.
6) Elizabeth Has Just GOTTA KNOW: I think Jesse James is amazing! I can't believe he would find someone like Sandra Bullock appealing, especially since knowing who he has been with in the past. Where did he and Sandra meet?
Elizabeth, you hit the nail right on the head. We, too, think the Jesse-Sandra union is a bit shocking. But according to James, they're "so similar, it's scary." The pair met when Sandra brought her godson to West Coast Choppers, where he says he fell hard for the actress. They wed last July and since then James says that his relationship with Sandra "makes me feel like I can do anything.... She pushes me to be a better person." As for what Jesse can do for Sandra, he can continue to protect her from long-time stalker, whose restraining order was recently extended for another three years.
