The birthday wishes poured in Thursday via tweets to bad boy and motorcycle mogul Jesse James.

The former "Monster Garage" star turns 43 today and among the cheerful stream of well wishes, one particular tweet caught Hollyscoop’s eye.

“Happy birthday and 12 years sober to the best dad on planet earth,” Jesse’s daughter Chandler tweeted to her father.

12 years? Let’s rewind a couple of those years…

In March 2010, TMZ reported that James was pulled over by police in Blythe
Jesse James cheated on Sandra Bullock, wrote a book about how it was her fault, then told Howard Stern Kat Von D was “100 percent” better in bed than his ex-wife.

And now, he’s wondering why he can’t get his name out of the press.

“I think I've paid the price and then some, you know? I don't know anybody anywhere that's had to endure what I had to endure for basically infidelity.”

And then he crushed a beer can on his head and went out “shootin’ fer varmins.”

Jesse James has been in the spotlight ever since his five-year marriage to Sandra Bullock came to a highly-publicized end in 2010. After Bullock won the Academy Award that year, it was exposed that James had cheated on her with tattoo model Michelle “Bombshell” McGee.

And somehow, through all of that, Jesse is the one complaining about the marriage. Speaking on the TV show American Chopper: The Build Off, James said: "I became a big shot and married some Hollywood actress and didn't talk to anybody anymore, so I feel bad."

At this rate, Jesse James could have his own TLC show. 19 Mistresses and Counting. The more significant subject here is, where the hell did Jesse James find 19 women willing to have sex with him? I'm famous for cheating on women, I style my hair like a serial killer, and I refuse to wear anything but an old, white T-shirt. So whaddya say we jump in the sack?

I don’t want to meet the women that say yes to that.

Kat Von D hopped on Facebook, yet again, to write a note to her fans about her relationship with Jesse James. Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg is just glad someone is actually using the notes application on Facebook.

2011 has been a chaotic year for reality star Kat Von D. She’s been on and off with Jesse James all year long, her reality show, L.A. Ink got cancelled, and she made headlines when she stormed off the set of Good Day LA.

Hollyscoop caught up with Kat, and she told us what’s on her radar now that L.A. Ink is over.

“We have a bunch of different ideas right now,” Von D told us at the launch of Rage in Los Angeles. “Until it all gets solidified, I can’t really announce anything.”

So her breakout show might have come to an end, but it’s not the last we’re going to be seeing of Kat Von D. “We are working on a bunch of stuff,” she assured us.

After some are-they aren’t-they drama, some weepy tweets, Facebook posts and a public meltdown on Good Day L.A., Kat Von D and Jesse James have finally split up.

These two should really be thanking Sandra Bullock for the fact that this story is even being written. Anyways, Kat Von D took to facebook (again) and announced the break-up news.

“I am not in a relationship,” she wrote in a facebook post titled ‘ODDS and ENDS,’ She then continued, “I apologize for all the ‘back and forth’ if it’s caused any confusion.”
Meet the house that endless hours of drawing tramp stamps built. Reality star Kat Von D just bought a big ol’ house in the Hollywood Hills. Should be plenty of hoedown room for her and Jesse James.

The 4,148 square foot estate has four bedrooms, four and a half baths, and a separate guesthouse that includes its own kitchen. The home is a 1920s Spanish style mansion situated in the hills. The kitchen boasts granite countertops and rugged, textured ceilings.

There’s no pool, but there is a backyard patio with bar, barbeque and fire pit. Oh, and also a big hot tub. Unfortunately, she and Jesse will probably use it to make a “big ol’ vat o’ varmin stew.”

Alright, just what the hell is going on here? I don’t know if their breakup was staged so we'd tune in, or if they genuinely broke up because of distance, but I sense I'm being bullsh-tted. I'm just too tired to try and figure it out.

Well, at least that creepy tattoo wasn't in vain. Yep, Kat Von D and Jesse James are officially back on. The news comes right as TLC announced Von D's show, LA Ink is cancelled.

James and Von D uploaded separate pics of each other PDA-ing on their Twitter accounts...

Aww sad news for Kat von D, her show LA Ink just got cancelled. Now where am I going to see people get ink injected into their pores? There aren't enough TV shows about people getting tattoos!!!

The show was awkward enough to watch, all of the current season focused on her relationship with Jesse James, and we all know how that ended.

TLC released the statement, "TLC has decided that the current season of LA Ink will be its last. The network is proud of what the series has accomplished in its four seasons, following Kat Von D's journey as an artist from Miami to Los Angeles."

Without a reality show or a high-profile D-List relationship, Kat Von D is just a tattoo artist. Can someone get this girl on Dancing with the Stars? Or Celebrity Rehab? Everyone in Hollywood goes to rehab at some point, right?

Sandra Bullock is no longer communicating with Jesse James daughter Sunny. Sunny is James 7 year-old daughter from James' second marriage to Janine Lindemulder.

In an attempt to distance herself from Jesse James, Bullock has to cut out all contact with his daughter. Sandra raised Sunny during her marriage to James from 2005 to 2010. This is sad because Bullock once pledged her "commitment" to Sunny in front a judge when James was in the midst of his custody battle with Lindemulder over Sunny.

Lindemulder told Us Weekly, "Sandra doesn't communicate anymore with Sunny. Sunny never talks about her."
