Sandra Bullock chose the MTV Movie Awards to make her first TV appearance since news broke of her husband's apparent infidelity.

Wearing a backless black dress, the 45-year-old actress picked up the Generation Award and used the occasion to poke fun at rumours surrounding her personal life.

On accepting the award Sandra said: "One, I'm not dead. Two, everyone has cellulite, not just me. Paparazzi need more flattering lenses. And whoever established the high road and how high it should be, should be fired."

A few days earlier, Sandra also made a surprise appearance at Spike TV's annual Guys Choice Awards event.

On receiving the Troops Choice Award for Entertainer of The Year she said: "Let's be honest here, just for a moment. We're all going to be honest, right?

"Did I win this for being entertainer of the year, or did I win this because of the spectacular I.E.D. [improvised explosive device] explosion that became my personal life?!"

Sandra continued: "No, it's okay. Because I would do it over again if it was to entertain our troops, and our extraordinary troops deserve something much more than some actress in a tight dress talking about herself."
