CAMBRIDGE: Actress Sandra Bullock had to show off her dating skills to earn a brass pudding pot and the title of Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year.

Bullock sauntered across the stage, and playing with her golden brown hair, tried to woo a Harvard student wearing a costume with bulging padded biceps and leather pants. “This is the one that always works, whether the man is inebriated, whether he’s gay or straight, married or single. I walk up like this, and I do like a little hair thing, and I say this: ‘Hi. I have a more than a million dollars in my bank account and I’m single,’” she said. —AP
