Sandra Bullock Loves the Simple Life  3/16/07

Sandra Bullock adores living out of the limelight - because she can wear what she wants without worrying about the criticism she used to face in Hollywood.

The actress, who married Monster Garage reality TV host Jesse James in 2005, lives in Texas and Wyoming when she's not filming movies.

The 42-year-old says, "Living out there is so nice. I can wear a thong outside without anyone saying, 'What a fat butt she's got. She has cellulite.'

"I do my thing, live a normal life, go down to the grocery store and watch my husband race (motorbikes)."
