MIDTOWN WEST — With all the media attention paid to the sexual exploits of Tiger Woods and Jesse James, New Yorkers are bound to have opinions about the high-profile celebrity scandals.

DNAinfo conducted an unscientific, informal poll and found that, while many people don't care about the scandals at all, women tended to be more interested in Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock's marital woes with husband James, and men cared more about golfer Tiger Woods' numerous infidelities.

"I definitely probably have to say the Jesse and Sandra story [is more interesting]," said mother-to-be Boomee Danenberg. "Sandra has always seemed to be respectful, respectable, hardworking woman and just the epitome of a classy Hollywood star, so it's just so sad how horribly Jesse disgraced her."

Men, on the other hand, were more interested in Tiger Woods, considering motorcycle TV show star James to be much less of a celebrity.

"Definitely Tiger [is more interesting]," said Kris Campbell, who works in Midtown. "Jesse James isn't really relevant, and if he didn't marry Sandra, no one would even know or care that he's cheating on his wife."

Some people didn't care either way.

"I do not care about either one," said Brooklynite Jendayi Trimble. "I don't care about celebrities' relationships. People should just worry about their own relationships — that's my advice."
