"Sandra Bullock and Tower Heist director Brett Ratner have denied &amp;#039;hooking up&amp;#039; at the 2012 Oscars. The two Hollywood stars were the subject of an In Touch magazine report where sources claimed that they are engaged in a &amp;quot;risky romance&amp;quot;. Ratner and Bullock have since released a joint statement to quash the magazine report and insist that they never even met up at the Academy Awards last month.   &amp;quot;We think that it&amp;#039;s incredibly sad that in these times, this magazine would resort to complete fabrication, solely for financial gain. There is not a shred of accuracy in their story,&amp;quot; Bullock and Ratner said in a joint statement. Their message continued: &amp;quot;We have not seen nor spoken to each for over a decade. We both had a great time after the Oscars, just not with each other.&amp;quot; Bullock was famously married to Monster Garage star Jesse James, but they split in mid-2010 amid rumors that James had carried on an affair. The Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close actress is currently suing watchmaker ToyWatch USA over claims that it used her name to promote products without her permission. Bullock next stars with George Clooney in the sci-fi thriller Gravity, which is released on November 21 in US cinemas and on November 23 in the UK. &amp;gt; Sandra Bullock: &amp;#039;Extremely Loud got me back into acting after divorce&amp;#039; Watch Sandra Bullock in a trailer for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
