'13
I’m kicking myself for not seeing these photos yesterday, so for that, I apologize. Any Cumberbatch in a storm, though! Meaning that any Cumberbatch is good, whenever we can find the time to get to him. Benedict Cumberbatch attended the Tommy Hilfiger/Esquire party on Monday night in London. David Gandy was there too!!! Meaning that if I was at the party, sipping a cocktail and slipping out of my panties, I’m not even sure who I would have made the play for. Probably Cumby. Is that wrong? I think Cumby and I would get along well on a spiritual level, as well as the obvious physical level (because his voice alone could get me off). Cumby is a bitter, gossipy bitch. So am I. We could be bitter bitches together. I dreamed a dream…
Speaking of my Cumby love and how all of you recognize my obsession, a fellow Cumby-lunatic tweeted me a years-old quote that I absolutely love. At some point in 2010, Cumby said these delicious words: “I always seem to be cast as slightly wan, ethereal, troubled intellectuals or physically ambivalent bad lovers. But I’m here to tell you I’m quite the opposite in real life. In fact I’m a f–king fantastic lover.” DEAR GOD. That made my knees buckle.
For a more recent quote from Cumby, in the Radio Times’ current issue, Cumby was talking about the “assumptions” people make about him, and he said: “They know you from the trail you leave with your work… They assume things about you because of who you play and how you play them, and the other scraps floating around in the ether. People try to sew together a narrative out of scant fact… I don’t want to complain or explain. It’s a thing that will pass. It’s part of a predictable pattern.” Is this bitching? I think he just sounds pragmatic. Although I’m sure he said it in his haughty, posh voice.
Cumby will be the Golden Globes on Sunday too. I’m wondering if I should let him host our Open Post…?
BONUS GANDY!!

Poor Batch! He looks exhausted. Still gorgeous though. I have a spare pillow.

are you calling him gorgeous because you like as a person or have you gone blind. This man is not attractive at all. Let’s hope that he has a wonderful personality.

re; THAT quote – I’ll let you know.
I don’t get the Gandy thing. He’s so pretty, but how does one get past all the zoolander vibes?

I can’t, the blue steel is too much. He’s just not handsome.

Yep. All I see is ‘blue steel’

I don’t get Gandy either. He’s just so conventionally pretty. Nothing special, nothing interesting about him. Nothing to look twice and keep looking. I’ll take Cumby anyday.

Hot. Although his outfit makes me think of 90s Ethan Hawke.

If you really love Cumby why did you put Gandy in the same post?

“Gorgeous” is not a word that should ever be used to describe him.

I was the same way like a month ago and then I heard his voice and, for now, he is on my list.

Benedict Cumberbatch ? Gorgeous – yes. Alien ? Not at all. Bitter and bitchy ? No. The comment about fans – wasn’t that in another interview in which he said that yes, some fans think that he’s like Sherlock ? Maybe the Radio Times had seen, the previous interview.

How many days until Star Trek Into Darkness? Is it now?…what about now?…now?
David Gandy too? And they didn’t invite me!

Hey, Gandy looks a lot better here than on yesterday’s pics! I was actually a bit worried about him, he looked like he’d been sick or something. Maybe he just had a hangover.

Bitching? He is telling the truth. Ugh, my love for his long face grow.s and grows everyday

YES, let him host the open post! Also, have you listed to the BBC radio series Cabin Pressure? Cumby has a role, and he’s damn hilarious.

I’m sorry but both of these men are attractive to me. Maybe it’s the over grooming? Maybe it’s that the eyes are too far apart? Who know… Ick!

“But I’m here to tell you I’m quite the opposite in real life. In fact I’m a f–king fantastic lover.”
Oh, dear. Dear, dear, dear. It’s been my experience and observation that the guys who insist they’re great in the sack seldom are. They’re right down there with Bridezillas who tell everyone they’re being reasonable while everyone else is insane, and kamikaze drivers who think everyone else is just jealous of their mad skillz.
I’m going to pretend he never said that. I’m sure he meant to say, “Booboocita, will you please confirm my bedroom prowess or lack thereof to everyone at Celebitchy? Here, come let me give you a demo, and you can decide …”

I thought the comment was hilarious! He’s got a pretty dry sense of humour and that feeds right into it.

I didn’t even bother looking at the Gandy photos which just proves to me how serious this whole thing with Cumby is getting. Guys, I think I’m in love.

Nope. He’s an alien.

This whole “vegan” fad has gone to far when parents start naming their children cucumberbatch….unless they have a farmer’s market. “Cucumberpatch” would be even worse.

He have a very nice voice but he is not that handsome..

I thought all the guys at this event looked good.
As far as Jaguar Holmes, I love he has the Batchyness (credit to Bored suburbanhousewife) to wear a t-shirt under his cardigan vest and 3/4 tailored coat – a risk well worth taking, I feel (although a more tailored possibly colored t-shirt would have really tied it together). And I love David Gandy’s outfit here. He looks great.

Once I recovered from seeing Jaguar Holmes I went back and looked at Gandy, he really is a fine looking man but he’s forever tainted now that someone has said he looks like Dean Gaffney’s hotter older brother. Euuuggh.

hahahaha! I will never be able to un-see that now!

Wow, he has such a long head…plus, he reminds me of Kevin Bacon, not really in a bad way. Gandy, yes, gorgeous.

Even though I love Sherlock, whenever I see Cumberbatch, I keep thinking about his creepy character in Atonement. Atonement ruined him for me!He gives me the creeps! Serial killer’s vibes!
On the other hand, Martin Freeman is super cute!

That’s funny – and I apologize in advance for the long-winded story – but I had this issue with him for years. When I was crushing on James McAvoy, I refused to watch ‘Starter for Ten’ b/c “Paul from the Atonement movie” was in it. I wouldn’t even look at photos of him.
Then I started watching Sherlock and fell in love with the show and, in due course, Mr. Cumberbatch.
When I finally got around to reading Atonement, I found myself being an apologist for Paul because, of course, I kept picturing Mr. Cumberbatch in my head.
I am not proud of this, just attesting to the power of the Jaguar once you catch the fever.

I’m pretty sure Mr. Cumberbatch is a gentleman in real life. I want so hard to like him. Love your story!

Count me in as one of the women who can’t figure out why anyone would think Cumberbatch is attractive…. he is just too strange looking. And I get a serious gay vibe him (even though I hear he’s straight).

He’s posh and English. They all give off that vibe. It’s from all the implied boarding school buggery. (Did I just go to far?)

Lol, no not too far! You do make a good point

Several folks I know in the UK who work the theatre scene or the talent agency scene (not as agents, very peripheral) say he is rumored to be bi, but does still tend to date women more than men. Rumored being the operative word.

what?!
but he’s dating his ex olivia poulet for 12 years! you can’t be bisexual if you’re dating a woman for that long.

Google photos of Matt Smith and Benedict Cumberbatch together. They look like first drafts from the Frankenstein lab.
But once you’re on TV or film, the gloss of fame will make anyone seem attractive to millions.
The ‘Batch will be perfect for a Star Trek film, though.

David seems a little..off nowadays. Still hot tho. Still would bang him with my mouth, won’t even deny it. But with the unhealthy pics and dead eyes I have to wonder if he’s beginning to enjoy a celebrity favorite: the luxurious white sniffing powder. Yes, I’m hinting he might be a cokehead. He’s starting to look a bit Lindsay Lohan-ish and that concerns me. O_o

I didn’t know the worth of a human being is that they have to be “beautiful” or “handsome”. I find him attractive in his own way. Benedict is a fantastic actor and people who work wth him think he’s pretty great.
Whenever anyone gets to any kind of popularity it the usual – lets tear them down and say anything we want to about them that is negative in the hope, i guess, that everyone will believe it.
Benedict was given a chance, as he has said, to go to excellent schools and he was notgoing to waste it. Knowledge is important to him and because he speaks correct English – its sort of how dare he.
He’s going to be around for a long time and do more and more great roles. He loves what he does and he works hard to do it right.
There are a bunch of things out there that are not in the excellent category so have not seen anything wrong with people who think excellence is something to always strive for.
