Fights for Her Domain Name — Sandra Bullock

Actress files claim with National Arbitration Forum to get SandraBullock.com.

My neighbor* Sandra Bullock has filed for arbitration to get the domain name SandraBullock.com. The case commenced last Friday and ought to be decided in the next month or two.

The domain name is owned by a firm called Alberta Hot Rods. The domain’s nameservers point to SmartName, but the domain name doesn’t resolve so it was likely deactivated by the service. A March 2007 site capture from The Wayback Machine shows a parked page with the disclaimer “This is an UNOFFICIAL Sandra Bullock fan site. This site is not affiliated or endorsed in any way by Sandra Bullock or any other party.”

*Bullock was building a house a half mile down the road, but ended up tearing it down and suing the builder. She may be rebuilding, but I’m not one of those nosy celebrity hounds. And no, my house isn’t worth anything near $6.5M.
