'12
Finally! It really has felt like a week without any sightings of the usual dudes I have on rotation. But this morning, we finally have some new photos of Benedict Cumberbatch! Last night, Cumby attended the Specsavers Crime Thriller Awards in London. Yeah, I have no idea what that is. But Cumby was there, he was wearing a lovely suit, and he was embracing Una Stubbs (who plays Mrs. Hudson on Sherlock) and Lara Pulver (who played “The Woman” or Irene Adler in Sherlock’s ‘A Scandal In Belgravia’). If that was all Greek to you, get thee to Amazon and order up season 1 and 2 of Sherlock, for the love of God. It’s one of the best shows on TV right now, right up there with Mad Men, in my opinion.
I have some good news for Cumby fans and some bad news for gossip fans – and it’s the same news: Cumby hasn’t said anything ridiculously bitchy lately. I know, it’s unfortunate. I look forward to hearing Cumby’s bitchy rumblings soon… surely he’ll have a project to promote shortly? As for this awards show – Cumby won! And Sherlock won! They took home a bunch of awards, which you can read about here.
So… Benedict Cumberbatch: would you hit it? I ask this question all the time, but in my defense, I think I’m slowly convincing more and more of you to The Cumby Side. At the very least, I’m convincing more of you to watch Sherlock. Where you will then fall in love with Cumby, surely. Yes, he looks like the love child of an alien and a cat. But I would still hit it. SO HARD.
PS… I’m also including a photo of Rupert Penry-Jones, who I recently saw in a 2008 remake of The 39 Steps. Rupert is, no joke, extraordinarily beautiful. He is seriously a good-looking dude, and he’s even better in motion.

OH my goodness, my legs just did a little jig at the thought of Cumby pillow talk!
If anyone’s interested, the Specsavers Crime thriller awards are … kind of budget. They’re run by ITV3 which is a back-of-beyond channel, but all the same I’m glad he did well. I think Sherlock swept the board last year as well.
Oh, RPJ … I miss Spooks.

Zelda, you have to see Sherlock and then re-decide how you feel about him. Before I saw the show, every time somebody raved about sexy he was, I though, “Eh? What’s wrong with these people.?” But somewhere midway through Series 1 of Sherlock, I suddenly felt the Pull Of the Cumberbitch. He must have some kind of weird charisma going on.
Watch the show and see

Voice great. Wit good. Facially: looks like some kind of syndrome. Photos of siblings? Parents? or is he the only one?

Well, his still photos are uneven. But when he takes good pics, they are gorgeous. The cheekbones; the eyes that change color.
He has quite good-looking parents. Google Wanda Ventham in her younger acting roles—she is beautiful…& symmetrical! I haven’t seen any young pictures of his Dad, but Timothy Carlton (his Dad’s professional name) is a striking older man.
It seems to me Cumby is getting more handsome with age—perhaps “growing into his face” as they say.

You know, a lot of people are pissed that he hasn’t won a Bafta and an Emmy for Sherlock and they have the right to. But I think the fame, big film projects, respect from colleagues and just the overall attention of Hollywood are more of his price for his phenomenal work in Sherlock. And personally, I would rather have that than a golden statuette.

HE DOESN’T LOOK 36 AT ALL! GEEZ. Seriously, what makes him intriguing and consequently attractive is that he’s full of contradictions. He’s gorgeous, he’s alien-y. He’s a gentleman, he’s a jerk. He’s uptight, he’s a dork. You just want to follow him around and know what he’s truly like. Yeah, that may explain everybody’s obsession with him as well.

Ruperty Penry Jones! I MELT! Thank you for reminding me to look at him first thing in the morning on a Friday, haha.
Cumberbatch is fine, too, I suppose-though he really only does anything for me in-character as Sherlock (I know, I’m a cliche). He’s quite a good actor though. Am surprised he showed up for this award, unless it’s just a bigger deal than I realize. Isn’t Specsavers our equivelant of LensCrafters? I don’t know, maybe it’s like getting a Blockbuster Award (if they still give those?)

I love me some Rupert Penry-Jones and I hope they do another season of Whitechapel soon.
As for the Batch-I have a love hate thing for him now. I LOVED him when Sherlock first came out and thought he was so hot. In the recent bout of whining over white boy problems/being “misqouted” about saying thoughtless things, he became very ugly to me. It sounded like he had fully bought into his own press and he was coming off as a pretentious jerk. Lately he’s been more quiet and the interview at Cheltenham sounded more gracious and sweet, so I’m starting to go back to liking him. A little.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Oh don’t hold that against him… He’s wonderfully uninhibited when he’s being interviewed. Has no ability to self-regulate his stream of consciousness. It’s actually very endearing. Needs a good woman to help him stay on track. Any takers?

I’m a huge fan of Sherlock, and I adore Cumberbatch … but the more time passes, the more I like Martin Freeman (Watson).

To dooliloo & Eve—I see some Cumberladies are checking with Eve to see if they can elbow in on Cumby (& I quote Leonard Cohen here) “if it be your will.” Since several of us are already drawing up graphs & pie charts to see who gets to spend how much time with Cumby….I’m wondering. The Circle is widening; the Cumberlover lines are forming. How are we going to share just one little Cumby? Can a Harem lifestyle be far behind?
If it comes to that….well, please have him polished & brought to my tent.

Nope. You already have Parker Hiddleston, you greedy bitch! All right…you can have half an hour with him and that’s it!

And I’m sorry I missed this earlier when you posted! I wandered off. Need to install some kind of Cumby-Alert alarm buzzer on this computer so I don’t miss anything. An alarm buzzer that sounds like Cumby reading Ode to A Nightingale……(drifts off in cumber-dream).

Guess what…? Right at this moment I’m attending the London Film Festival.. As per usual actually (I’m a film editor) we were at a Mayfair party with Gemma Arterton and I got to chat with Terence Stamp and his niece..

Yes!! And I’m typing from my phone in the cab right now, attended the awards and I saw them all : Tim Burton, Helena Bonham Carter, Christopher Lee..and most importantly MY MAN : Tom Hiddleston!!! I swear Never got the chance to approach him and he wasn’t even that far from my table.. The man is tall, really tall and his natural thinness makes him look like a scarecrow O_O (can’t believe I’m making such an analogy *facepalm*)
oh and the guy from French film Rust and Bones (highly recommended!!!) named Matthias Schnoenaerts is very yummy, he’s on my new crush alert list!
Highlight of my night was to say hi to Christopher Lee in the press room… I was shaking
Juicy? Oh I got plenty.. At least it’s true hahaha!
I’m still reeling.. For the 1st time in 4years I finally got to attend the awards (only did press screening and press conferences so far) and I got more than what I bargained for… Meet some of my favourite since I was a child and teen! Life is good… Except my feet, damn them heels!

Captain Wentworth! RPJ is quite handsome, not drop-dead gorgeous, but definitely easy on the eyes.
Cumberbatch, on the other hand, is very polarizing.Some part of me wants to “GAH, kill it with fire!”, while another wants to hate-f**k him (intelligent, arrogant snobbish bastard). So I guess I’m conflicted. But if I could put a bag on his face and have him recite Shakespeare, I would hit it, repeatedly.

Have you ever shagged a guy that was not attractive but you did cause you were lonely or feeling randy and even though his face wasn’t that great looking, the body was really nice, so you closed your eyes in the bedroom(or avoided looking at the face) when you did it and from then on you did not care about the face because he had other great qualities and as time went on he became your boyfriend? I actually did that and that’s what I’d do with BC.

Okay,
So I finally capitulated and watched Sherlock on Netflix a couple of weeks ago, and apparently the sky is beginning to fall BS hell is developing ice caps. I’m finding myself developing this tacit attraction/repulsion “thing” with him.
He plays Sherlock with such vivre and magnetism, that he bypasses your eyes and conventional good taste and goes straight to your loins.
While I’m still far from jumping his bones, I can say at least that wouldn’t put a brown paper bag over his head.

Haven’t seen him in while. He’s a rather underrated actor. I suppose while all of his contemporaries are crossing the pond to pursue work, he’s electing to stay at home.
I first saw him years ago in this indie romantic comedy called Virtual Sexuality where he plays to virtual concoction of teenage girl whose trying to put together her perfect boyfriend. God, I thought he was the hottest thing. And I’m not typically attracted to blonds.

I’m a great Martin Freeman fan and was delighted to find him playing Watson when I first watched “Sherlock”.

Oh, I don’t know – I find Benedict Cumberbatch positively breathtaking. I know I’m not alone because when I went to see the film of the stage version of Frankenstein, the audience was filled with young women.
I can’t tell you what it is – I do find him handsome — his voice is amazing — and there is something indefinably sexy about him.
Great actors should sell out the Cheltenham Festival in a short time, and guess what, it helps if they’re gorgeous.
I don’t remember what I thought of his looks when I first saw him in Sherlock – I just know I loved the show.
As for Olivia, I don’t think they’ll get back together, no.

I’ve been in love with Una Stubbs ever since seeing her in the Cliff Richard movie ‘Wonderful Life’.
She was then on tv for years in ‘Til Death Do Us Part.
And now she’s Mrs Hudson. It’s nice to see her in the role but I wish someone would give her a starring part in something. She’s such a great talent.
I wouldn’t hit Ben as I’m not dude inclined but I’m happy to go on record in saying that I’d turn for Rupert if he’d have me. Spooks, Cambridge Spies, Whitehall and Silk were all made highly watchable due to his soulful lost puppy looks.
