Sandra Bullock is Armed and Fabulous
March 7, 2005
Five years after she captured America's heart in 'Miss Congeniality,' sassy SANDRA BULLOCK is back for more hilarious and heartwarming action in the eagerly awaited sequel, 'Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous' -- and ET has her talking about the fun flick as well as her real-life romance!
"Oh gosh, the 'M' word," she says to our MARY HART about the rumors of her getting married to boyfriend JESSE JAMES, host of the hit show "Monster Garage." "I'm just lucky to be able to wake up every day and have what I have. I am better cared for than I ever thought I would be -- better than I thought I deserved!"
The new comedy, in theaters March 24, picks up shortly after the first 'Congeniality' left off, with FBI agent Gracie Hart (Sandra) having successfully disarmed a major threat while working undercover as a contestant in the Miss United States Pageant. Now a media celebrity on the talk-show circuit as "the face of the FBI," Gracie travels around with a personal stylist (DIEDRICH BADER) and has embraced her all-new persona -- perhaps a bit too much.
Sandra tells Mary that she can relate to both sides of Gracie. "I have to carry myself a certain way the minute I walk out the door," she says of her public persona. "Because I forget and I unravel and that's when the picture is taken and you're going 'oh my God!'"
"It was a relief to put on that blue suit again -- the men's button-down, the orthopedic shoes; to stand like a guy and pick your teeth if you feel like it," says Sandra about her character's stripping back to basics. "It's really liberating. That's one of the things I like about Gracie -- she doesn't care what people think."
When Gracie's best friends, pageant winner Cheryl Frazier and emcee Stan Fields (the returning HEATHER BURNS and WILLIAM SHATNER), are kidnapped in Las Vegas, Gracie is prompted to go back to her roots and rescue her pals with the help of her new partner, the tough, no-nonsense Sam Fuller (REGINA KING), who thinks that Gracie has become the "mascot" of the FBI -- and a walking Barbie doll to boot.
Sandra and Regina kick some butt in the movie, which the star says wasn't always smooth sailing. "There were a couple of injuries, a couple of owies," she says of the physical scenes. "And it was all Regina's fault," she says with a wink.
Good sport REGIS PHILBIN also makes a cameo appearance in the movie, playing himself on "Live with Regis & Kelly" with his real-life wife, JOY, filling in KELLY RIPA's shoes. In his hilarious scene, Reege sets himself up for a painful moment when Gracie and Sam demonstrate a few self-defense moves -- at his expense!
