Jesse James facing fourth affair allegation

They say misery loves company. That being the case,

Sandra Bullock

's scandal-magnet husband

Jesse James

is about to throw the mother of all pity parties.

We had a feeling in our waters that tattooed tell-all merchant

Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee

was but the tip of the alleged mistress iceberg.

Right on cue, up pop another two women claiming to have had sexual relationships with James while he was wed to his wife Bullock.

Behind door number one

Bullock's marriage was rocked earlier this month when tattoo model McGee blabbed to US tabloid

In Touch

. She claimed she'd had an 11-month fling with James while Bullock was on location filming

The Blind Side

.

The revelation led to James issuing a public apology to his wife and family for the "pain and embarrassment" the revelations caused.

But as always, there appears to be more to the tale than meets the eye.

Allegations surfaced last week that James had 'multiple' affairs with women he supposedly met online (MySpace reportedly being his weapon of choice - that's how he met McGee). His alleged infidelities were reported to be an 'open secret' among James' network of friends.

"This is just the first person who has gone public," a source told Us Weekly. Adds another, "This is not an isolated incident. When Sandra is away, he gets bored."

Behind door number two

Hot on the heels of Bullock's departure from the former couple's California family home, a second woman came forward and claimed she had an affair with James that began in 2006, and ended in 2008.

Exotic dancer

Melissa Smith

, 35, alleges to

Star

magazine (seriously, who else) that James made contact with her on MySpace in September 2006 - a year after he married Bullock.

Smith told the tabloid that she would visit biker James at his West Coast Choppers headquarters in Long Beach, California for their alleged encounters.

She told the mag: "I got a message from this guy saying, 'Nice car...that's my godfather's.' After a few exchanges, he introduced himself as Jesse James and gave me his e-mail address with the name Vanilla Gorilla."

Vanilla Gorilla? Oh brother!

And then there were three.

Behind door number three...

Then we have

Brigitte Daguerre

. A Los Angeles-based photographer who claims she also had a sexual relationship with James.

Daguerre, according to

TMZ

, was hired by James in 2008 to do some styling for a photo shoot. She claims the pair exchanged emails and texts for over a year, and had sex on four occasions before she called it off.

Exhibit A

Daguerre claims to have 195 racy text messages between her and James, some of which are believed to be "extremely graphic". But one of the more vanilla (pun intended) ones allegedly from James has him cooing: "I'll be your monkey."

Seriously, who keeps 195 two-year-old text messages without a motive in mind? Hmmmmm.

Behind door number four...

Radar Online

reports that there's another alleged mistress in existence. The as-yet-unnamed woman has reportedly hired lawyer

Gloria Allred

(she represented Tiger Woods' mistress Rachel Uchitel).

Allred says: "I represent a beautiful model and businesswoman. She had a three-year intimate relationship with Jesse James. He pursued her and had strong feelings for her.

"She is in the process of trying to decide if she will come forward. She has proof of their relationship including hundreds of text messages, emails and photos. The relationship just recently ended after the scandal broke."

Meanwhile, despite

reports

that Bullock has speed-dialled her lawyers to fast-track a divorce, sources say she's undecided about what to do.

After fleeing the marital home in Huntington Beach, California, Bullock has been keeping a low profile and spending time with family.

A source tells

Fox News

: "Sandra will not move back in with Jesse, she's staying in her own place separate from him in California. She still wants space and she's very focused. Sandra is still working and she plans to take meetings again soon. She's trying to sort out her life, and it is a lot to deal with, so she is taking it step by step."

The source adds that Bullock is considering her options before initiating a divorce.

"She thought she had her soul mate in Jesse. Sandra loves his children and will still work to protect them from the scandal. She is heartbroken."

Let's hope she's keeping her head screwed on while the scandalous soup simmers, and not reaching for the nearest baseball bat.

about Tiger Woods' infidelity and how she would have handled it if she were

Elin Nordegren

.

But it's not all bad news for the Vanilla Gorilla. He's always got

this offer

from

Playgirl

to mull over.

And as the naughty love shame unfolds, a standout quote from the legendary

Paul Newman

springs to mind. Addressing questions about his marital fidelity some years ago he quipped: "I have steak at home; why go out for hamburger?"

Touché.
