Jesse Goes for the Beautiful Woman with Tattoos

Jesse James and Kat Von D are engaged, as reported at "People." The 41-year-old CEO of West Coast Choppers began dating the 28-year-old celebrity tattoo artist shortly after his divorce from actress Sandra Bullock. However, Kat Von D met James for the first time when she was 22.

James claims 2010 was happy, not sad

Last year, Jesse James appeared on "Nightline," with the goal to explain why he had so many extramarital affairs on Sandra Bullock and why he's not a racist. He sat there looking like a sad puppy. Said James, "I took a pretty amazing life and amazing success and marriage...and threw it away by my own hands."

Now, it's 2011, and James is singing a different tune. He tells "People" magazine exclusively, "You know sometimes the public and press gets it wrong. This is one of those times. 2010 was actually the best year of my life because I fell in love with my best friend, an amazing woman who stood behind me when the world turned their backs."

Is Kat Von D a better choice?

Kat Von D, the beautiful woman who is one of the most famous tattoo artists, owner of High Voltage Tattoo, star of LA Ink and who is the author of such books as "The Tattoo Chronicles," is, at least on the surface, nothing like Sandra Bullock. Anyone who knows Jesse James knows that he's deeply into tattoos, too. It would appear that the two have at least one thing in common. Now the two can figure out how to make it work living in two different places. Kat Von D lives in LA and Jesse James lives in Austin, Texas.

    If he wasn't happy, he should have just told Sandra that instead of being such a piece of ____. I hope Kat rips his heart out the same way he did Sandra. It's guys like him that make men look like such pigs.
