During the last 12 months alone, Bullock has flexed her creative muscles strenuously -- producing and starring in Murder by Numbers (a psychological thriller directed by Barbet Schroeder costarring Ben Chaplin and Ryan Gosling), lending her voice as narrator to the highly anticipated Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, producing a television program (The George Lopez Show) and beginning to shoot her next film, Two Weeks Notice (costarring Hugh Grant).

Right now she's supposed to be talking about Murder by Numbers -- in which she plays a hard-as-nails detective on the trail of two bored and ingenious teenage boys who've orchestrated the perfect murder (think Leopold and Loeb) -- but her rampant stream of consciousness keeps taking the conversation elsewhere.

And all the women of Beverly Hills are running after me, wanting to kiss me because their lips get full. I think Meryl's on board, I don't know."
