Sandra Bullock Requests Removal from PSA

She boldly proclaims “be the one” in the new public service announcement from Restore the Gulf in which celebrities request that people sign a petition to demand the government clean up the Gulf Coast after the oil spill.

But now Sandra Bullock is rescinding her support of the effort because the organization has received donations from big oil companies.

Her rep told press, "Ms. Bullock was originally contacted through her attorney to be a part of the PSA in order to promote awareness of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. At no time was she made aware that any organization, oil company or otherwise had influence over Women of the Storm or its message."

Anne Milling, a rep from the organization responded, "I was shocked and of course very disappointed. However, I do believe that once Ms. Bullock hears and listens to the facts and understands that Women of the Storm has had no connection or taken money from oil companies, I think that will allay her fears and I believe she will rejoin our video because she really believes in coastal restoration. She is committed to that."
