Tom Hiddleston went to the ‘Iron Man 3’ after-party in LA: would you hit it?

Oh, will you look at this. It seems like Tom Hiddleston was in LA last night for the premiere of Iron Man 3. Do you think Tom/Loki has a cameo in IM3? I wonder…? It could just be that Tom is part of the Marvel universe now, so he comes out to support all Marvel adventures, even if he’s not a part of the film. Anyway, I can’t find any photos of Tom actually walking the red carpet for the film, but these are pics of him at the after-party in Hollywood.

Who’s the girl? Get on it, Dragonflies! Their body language seems to indicate that they might be friends or something, although my first thought was that she’s a Dragonfly Fan Girl and she’s just staying as close to him as possible until he calls security. Either/or. Because I’m a big meanie and I can’t stop thinking about Tom’s try-harding at the MTV Movie Awards, I’m not surprised that he came out for the premiere. Tom must get attention! PAY ATTENTION, DRAGONFLIES.

Meanwhile, in addition to actively pursuing the lead in the remake of The Crow, Tom has also scored a lead role in another film, this time a period drama. The name of the film is either Capa or Close Enough, and it’s based on the true story of war photographers Gerda Toro and Robert Capa in the 1930s. Hiddles will play Capa and Hayley Atwell will play Toro. The film is scheduled to start production in June. This actually sounds like something I would watch, and it also sounds (substantially) like HBO’s Hemingway & Gellhorn.

And here’s the trailer for Thor: The Dark World again.

    Not him again. ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz

    • MisJes says:

      Agreed. So over hearing about both him and Benedict Cumberbatch, complete over-saturation.

      • LadyMTL says:

        Add me to the list of snorers…I can’t find it in me to get excited about either of those two. Cumberbatch looks like a lizard and Hiddleston is just too vanilla. (Even the bad bronzer thing happening on his face.)

      • popcorn11 says:

        + 1
        Both those guys are over exposed especially considering their limited bodies of work and mindling looks. Just saying.

      • Tommy says:

        Cumberbatch looks like a lizard LOL! Never heard that one before. On ontd they call him Catface.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        @Tommy,

        “Lizard” is one of the more flattering names people have called Cumby.

      • Eve says:

        @ EsCon:

        And that’s pretty fair because let’s face it: he DOES look like one (but I love that, HA!).

      • moon says:

        +2
        Less Hiddles and Cumby, more Fassy please.

      • Dani says:

        Limited bodies of work? Benedict’s been steadily working since early 2000’s. And as of like 08-10 Tom’s also been in a lot of projects. They are over exposed recently because of all the work their doing but I definitely wouldn’t say they barely work.

  2. Why is his face so tan?! And no, he doesn’t appear in Iron Man 3 so he was probably just there to party.

    • GoodCapon says:

      Horrible make-up.

      And his makeup artist didn’t even bother blending it well around his hairline and ears!!

      • Apples says:

        That’s what make me think it’s real, not makeup. This effect happened to my ex when he got a short haircut AFTER spending a week at the beach. Pretty funny.

    • popcorn11 says:

      Or to have his pic taken.

  3. Anna says:

    I think this is the studio/Marvel at work more than anything, starting the promos for Thor, bc THREE Thor 2 actors were at the Iron Man events: Hiddles, Kat Dennigs and Jamie Alexander.

    • Miss Kiki says:

      I think you’ll find that My boy Chris was at this premier with ol’ Tacky herself.

      • V4Real says:

        Miss Kiki did you watch the premiere on line like I did? Pataky was sticking to Hemsworth like crazy clue. The dress she was wearing was not flattering at all.

      • Anna says:

        @Kiki

        I found. I cried.

      • Miss Kiki says:

        V4 no net yet, I’ve seen a few pics though. The dress and the hair is horrible, I can’t stand the perpetually smug look she has on her face, knowing she’s landed a pretty big fish.

      • j.eyre says:

        @Miss Kiki – @OBella and @DeltaJuliet do not like “CHemboy” as a nickname. I a thinking of CHarms – what do you think?

        I must go track down photos of the Blond Adonis and… her

      • Miss Kiki says:

        @j Well those other bitches can do one. It’s no ones business what I call my husband.

        For serious though, I have no idea. I don’t know if I’m feeling CHarms though, put your lavender scented thinking cap on.

      • j.eyre says:

        I had suggested Mr. Eyre but no one seemed to bite on that one.

        Okay, I am going to stick with CHemboy until something better comes up… like the man himself.

  4. T.Fanty says:

    Poor TommyAnnE will never escape the curse of the dragonflies.

    That said, I’d consider it. He actually tweeted something smart today and I’m enough of a floozy for that to be enough. The Oompa Loompa face will have to go, though. And he’d have to promise never to call me “mummy” (gags).

    • EscapedConvent says:

      I saw his tweet today about “Half The Sky” & was very glad to see it. Maybe some of his cult tweens will see it & want to find out more about Half The Sky.

      Good for you, Hiddles, thou Dragonfly King. 😉

      • T.Fanty says:

        Heh heh heh. Dragonfly King. He would TOTALLY wear that crown if the fans made it.

        ETA: Half the Sky is a great project. Nick Kristof and his wife are amazing.

      • Resnictem says:

        I, too, was glad about his tweet about ‘Half the Sky’. I watched the HTS documentary on PBS over the series of several nights, & thought it was well done.

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        Half the Sky is awesome!

    • j.eyre says:

      Why is he stealing that poor girls phone? She is trying so hard to get it back.

      I LOVE that Kaiser is calling us his Dragonflies. That is so much better than being a Hiddlestoner or Loki’s Army or any other such nonsense. I will proudly call myself a Dragonfly – whether the crush lasts or not.

    • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

      He is working hard and even taking some super Twitter vitamins– two smart posts in a row. I am very glad to hear casting news at last.

      Hate the shiny suit and oompa loompa makeup, but he otherwise looks good. No, not going to hit it, but i want go see him working again.

      Is that a pistol in his pocket or is that fan making him really, really happy? Clearly it is her phone camera, not his, since that looks like an iPhone in the other pocket. (And yes, judging by what I see here, I think she is a fan, and Hiddles cannot get enough of that.)

      • T.Fanty says:

        I so want to love Hiddles. He’s a cutie, can rock a (matte) suit and is somewhat smart. His tweets today were ready to put me back on the Tommy train, but now this. Oh, TommyAnnE. Listen to your dragonflies. He needs to let us be great. And by that, I mean run his life.

      • GoodCapon says:

        I’m just rolling my eyes at his use of the word ‘cognoscenti’ to describe the Thor and Marvel fans. Stop it Tom!

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        That dragonfly and hummi glued crown is MINE! I want wear the dragonflies not be one!

        I want very much to like Tommyana. I will never hit it, but I would like him to be the soulful, brainy actor he was pitched as– only for *real.* He will need to join our book club and let us run his life to achieve that, of course.

        Edit:

        Cognoscenti? Did he really? Noooooo, Tommy, no.

      • T.Fanty says:

        owwww. Just hurt my eyes, rolling them at your “I would never hit it” comment (on my mac, so imagine winking emoticon). You are crumpets and crotchshots. Of course you would hit the Crotchshot King.

        (Now *that* would be a fun crown..)

      • j.eyre says:

        I am doing some mock-ups of the Crotchshot King Crown. I should have a prototype by this afternoon.

      • T.Fanty says:

        Okay, but here are the stipulations:
        1- it needs to be a crotchshot of Hiddlestonian proportions
        2- there needs to be a knitted element to it somewhere. Argyle pattern optional.
        3- It must incorporate dragonflies (perhaps in #2)
        4 – it must be made of crumpets, and therefore edible.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        @j.eyre:

        Jane, can you fit dragonflies & crotchshots onto the same crown? I am glad to hear that Tommy will be getting new headgear, as the Loki horns just make me laugh & I can’t imagine them scaring a gnat.

        EDIT: Just saw Fanty’s suggestions. A Crumpet Crown with little yarn dragonflies sounds very winsome. Hiddles will look adorable.

        I am imagining something like this:
        http://www.artmagick.com/pictures/picture.aspx?id=6960&name=take-the-fair-face-of-woman

        only with dragonflies.

      • Resnictem says:

        What T.Fanty said.

      • T.Fanty says:

        And a giant crotch on top of it.

      • j.eyre says:

        @EsCon – although I like the idea (and have started on something similar for myself) it does not quite hit the right note now that i have this new Tommyanna voice in my head telling me to simmer down and stay put.

        @Fanty and EsCon – I saw the dragonflies emerging from the crotchshots; as if they were springing from all of his Monster Crotch energy to spread the words of some trite self-proclaimed philosopher that Tommyanna had read to himself with a small smile of understanding.

        Obviously the knit element will be key – I thing the two Crotches flanking the imperial center one should be wearing Dong Sweaters. I really feel argyle sends the wrong message here. The patterns will be carefully set out – one of Pomeranians and baked potatoes with little pieces of chocolate just out of reach and the other delicate whips and silk ropes floating about an impressive four-poster bed. The design of the crown itself will incorporate springs of lavender. What am I missing?

      • T.Fanty says:

        Verse. Do we need an inscription?

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        @Tfanty: I would hit *only* if I wear the crown and it is acknowledged that I am the Queen if Dragonflies and Hummingbirds. I will also need something diaphanous to wear so that the hummingbirds can hold up the hem in their beaks, and perhaps a retinue of woodland hedgehogs. Then I would hit it.

      • T.Fanty says:

        He’d totally do that, but you’d have to spank it out of him.

        So. The inscription now needs to read;

        Over hill, over tumblr,
        Thorough bush, thorough twitter,
        Over Thornfield, over Samuel Jackson,
        I do wander everywhere,
        And I serve the Dragonfly queen,
        To dew her orbs upon the green.
        The hedgehogs tall her pensioners be:
        In their gold coats crumpets you see.

        Those with babies Cumby favours,
        On his vespa, he is our saviour:
        Farewell, thou lob of Cbitches; I’ll be gone:
        My Crotchshots and all our dragonflies come here anon.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        @ j.eyre,

        That description just made my eyes cross. That’s fabulous. Baked Potatoes AND chocolate? Wow.

        I was thinking about an inscription. He does like to announce “I am Loki” but that will only fan the hysterical flames of Tumblr. They’ll eat him alive, & the crown is to be edible, so that won’t do.

        My thinking cap is pinching me…..

      • EscapedConvent says:

        @Crumpets,

        I can see that. He will be needing a Dragonfly Queen.

        P.S. I really appreciate the little hedgehogs that hold up the hem of my cape/habit, as I was always tripping & falling before I hired them.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        @Fanty,

        Oh! I love love ~lurve~ it! A beautiful gift, you have.

        It’s really too bad if Hiddles doesn’t read this. He’s not going to find this sort of thing on *whisper* Tumblr!

      • T.Fanty says:

        Thanks. I had a *little* help from Will, but I think my edits are seamless enough that it’s hard to tell where A Midsummer Night’s Dream ends and we begin.

        *off to see if I can sing it to Mendelssohn*

      • Anna says:

        I would just like to say, for the record, that this thread has COMPLETELY crossed over into Insane territory. And I do not have the slightest problem with that.

      • j.eyre says:

        @ C&C – there is no way in this novel or the next that you are going to be the Queen of the Dragonflies! You’re still pretending you wouldn’t let him bend you over the center carousel of the poetry section. I have stuck by this pixy for better or for worse, broken up with him, took him back and allowed Eve and Jenna to lob evidence of his pathetic little grasps for attention over several a post. Just because I am plugging his brother-in-arms does not mean that I am going to relinquish the crown I had to wait for Kay-Doo to drop before I could sweep in like a starving rat to steal.

        No, do what you want with the hummingbirds but Queen of the Dragonflies? I will have my title.

        @Fanty – lovely verse, darling. Brought a tear to my eye. I shall start etching it at once.

        @EsCon – I have two tiny little curved horns on the back of the crown for the Loki crowd. It will also serve to stash my gum.

        @Anna – darling, lines were meant to be crossed.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        @ Fanty!

        Don’t forget to bob your head up & down like a rappin’ GOOPY bad-ass mutha.

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        @TFanty: You are truly a talented poet!

        With such crowns, I would totally do Tommyanna into the ground.

        He would no longer be my Secret Shamef*ck… no, wait I did not say that…!

        Edit: I would fly the Monster Crotch Flag on my crumpet tasting fork with honor, a lurid smile, and exhaustion, and make sure that all hedgehogs feasted well on the crumpets and were snug in their new sweaters.

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        Actually Miss Eyre, I am the one who designed the dragonfly codpiece for Hiddles to wear while the hummingbirds feasted upon his candy floss Marie Antoinette wig. And I was wearing the Dragonfly Crown two threads ago, remember? Nevermind, it is yours now.

        And yes, I admit I would let him bend me over the poetry bookshelf or follow me up the library ladder if he likes it kinky….

        But ONLY if he will please show me evidence on Twitter that he has read Virginia Woolf, and at least some modernist poetry (perhaps e.e. cummings, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Gertrude Stein, or Mina Loy perhaps, or Cid Corman or Lorine Niedecker if we are feeling minimalist and want to get on to having wild sex).

        This may require some more experiments with the FrankenHiddles prototype.

      • Ncboudicca says:

        I’m on a plane and trying not to snicker out loud at these comments. 🙂

      • j.eyre says:

        @C&C – forgive me darling, I was just flush with Tommyanna lust. Of course you cam up with the title and it rightly belongs to you. It’s just I don’t ever get a title and I got greedy. I am not even Mrs. Rochester; somehow I landed that burned-up sicko missing a hand, sight and any moral compass and am STILL Miss Eyre. *sniff* you may keep the crown as well *sob* it clashes with my bonnet anyway. Here, I knitted you a little humming bird patterned scarf to go with it. I had thought to tie Tommyanna up with it – it is long enough to use on a library ladder.

        @ncboudicca – I was wondering where you were. What fabulous adventure are you on? Hey, turn to the guy next to you and ask him if he knew they had finally Crowned the Dragonfly King. Report back to us on the look he gives you.

  5. marie says:

    no, I’ll leave him to all the other ladies. I do like the fact that he smiles a lot, seems personable.

  6. Marty says:

    Looking at some of the photos from last night, I swear to God Tom and Chris looked more in love than Chris did with his wife.

    Oh yes, my bitchiness is turned on to full capacity today.

    • Anna says:

      “Looking at some of the photos from last night, I swear to God Tom and Chris looked more in love than Chris did with his wife.” – AS IT SHOULD BE! I will take Thor and Loki and leave the Wagon behind.

      Keep the bitchiness coming. Wagon’s making me sad.

    • Agitation says:

      You have no idea how much I want these two to run away from Windsor and Pataky and fly into the sunset on a chariot of gold together. Or for Hemsworth to throw Tom over his shoulder and run away. I just…*breathes* I’m sorry about that. My OTPing came out.

    • j.eyre says:

      What do you have for us in way of photos from last night?

      • j.eyre says:

        Thank you! This is why I can’t ever look up these things – I was trying Iron Man Premiere, wondering why i did not recognize anyone and then saw that I had put in “2” instead of “3” and then I ventured into Tumblr, which I am still very unfamiliar with and somehow got kicked out and into Tumblr brushstrokes or something.

        Anyway – Oh sweet mother of mercy those shots of Chris and Tom! So many fantasies will be fueled today. I wanted to see Remora – how are we feeling about her dress? I do not like the neckline at all but the bottom is cute. And is it lace on the side? I don’t think this is the most flattering thing she has worn. Poor thing (not sarcastic) looks really tired.

        As for CHem – seriously, he could bang me on a counter, forget my name and walk away without a word and I would still thank him for it.

      • Marty says:

        I think her dress was really unflattering for her figure. Chris is slimming down again for a new role, I LOVE his body right now! If only he would go back to his more natural hair color….

  7. Miss Kiki says:

    I’m only here for the Thor trailer in fact I’m pretty sure that Hemsworth was actually at this premier as well.

    I’m verging on being full to the brim when it comes to Hiddles, and I don’t mean that in the fun way either.

    • T.Fanty says:

      He’s lost a lot if love around here. I like the boy, but don’t appreciate the famewhoriness that lingers around the edges. Look at the pics. He’s talking to the fan, but got his eye on the paps the whole time.

      (ETA: childishly giggling at writing about TommyAnne eyeing the paps, because paps is Renaissance speak for boobs).

      • Eve says:

        “I like the boy, but don’t appreciate the famewhoriness that lingers around the edges. Look at the pics. He’s talking to the fan, but got his eye on the paps the whole time.”

        I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU! I’m even going to forgive you for breaking my heart yesterday.

        That’s EXACTLY what I noticed as well — didn’t want to say anything to avoid attracting Tumblr trolls (who occasionally show up here) but was going to DM you and C&C about that. He’s staring at the paparazzi’s camera, he barely looks at the girl (actually, he’s not looking at her in any of these pictures, but must have done that at some point).

        Only Elsa Pataky looks at cameras with more eagerness than Tom Hiddleston.

      • Miss Kiki says:

        It’s really awkward to see this paying out. I was prepared to believe at first that he was just earnest and really appreciated the fame recognition but now I feel like I can almost see his ego inflating with every picture.

        I remember when the were out and out shank battles for him *sigh* I miss the rush of war.

        ETA: @Eve Taky is starting to really rub off on Hemsworth and it’s making me really stabby.

      • V4Real says:

        Haha Eve, you’re so right.

      • GoodCapon says:

        Celebitchy attracts Tumblr trolls? Wow!

        I’ve never seen any of them in a Hiddles thread. I would very much like to meet one (or not, depending on the circumstances!)

      • Eve says:

        @ Miss Kiki:

        Hemsworth is gone, girl. He’s been firmly walking Adrien Brody’s path 5 years ago (in terms of famewhoring photo-ops).

        @ GoodCapon:

        Really? Because they can be easily spotted (their comments are usually along the line “leave him alone if you don’t like him”). But yeah, they do show up here sometimes.

      • Marty says:

        I found out some….interesting news about the Chris/Elsa marriage, although it’s hard to say if it’s legit or not.

      • T.Fanty says:

        @Marty. Spill!

      • Anna says:

        @Kiki & Eve

        I don’t even have the energy to fight any more. It’s just breaking my heart.

      • Miss Kiki says:

        Marty don’t be a gossip hoarder, don’t be that guy.

      • j.eyre says:

        @Marty: I can – and will – reach through this monitor and knock over your coffee if you don’t get back here with that info PRONTO.

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        I am so glad to know that! It will be my word of the day!

        Yes, he is so aware of the paps, all the time. Why even bother to wear that makeup?

      • T.Fanty says:

        @Miss Eyre: are you threatening Marty because you want to know, or because you fear that CHemboy’s sojourns at Thornfield are about to be revealed? Tacky would make a great madwoman in your attic, btw.

      • Jenna says:

        @j.eyre: Ooh, feisty! lol I do want to know the scoop too though.

      • Marty says:

        OK, damn! Hehehe, thirsty bitches aren’t we?(I mean that in the most loving way possible!)

        Okay, so about a year ago a poster made a comment about how Lainey from laineygossip had hinted things weren’t solid in that marriage. Someone asked him/her to elaborate, but for whatever reason they did not.

        Turns out that Chris was so unsure about marrying Elsa that he called his ex in a panic the night before he got married. Lainey didn’t specify what ex though, maybe Isabel Lucas? Anyways she revealed this at one of her smut soirees.

      • Miss Kiki says:

        Oh gosh I’d forgotten about the Isabel Lucas days. Man if only he’d listened to his instincts. As I lamented the other day, they’re tied together for life now 🙁

      • j.eyre says:

        Ryan freaking Seacrest just played Sir Mix-A-Lot. I had a fantastic run this morning which included an uphill stretch with the Chariots of Fire theme on the iPod at the time. I find out there are CHarms (trying it out, what do we think?) and Tommyanna shots together from last night – oh, feisty does not even begin to cover how I am feeling today.

        Well, well, well Remora… CHarms is reaching out to get away from you. And here am I, sitting in the big ol’ mansion with only a blind cripple to monitor my actions.

        By the way, Remora – the devil called, he’s not sure your soul is worth everything he is serving up to you.

      • Anna says:

        @j.eyre

        I am down with CHarms 🙂 This is the only thing on this post that put a smile on my face.

      • j.eyre says:

        @Anna – Myr Kiki has not signed off on it yet and my trachea is still recovering from the last time I went against her wishes. Have you an offering for her Mayoressness?

      • Anna says:

        @j.eyre & for Kiki –

        Vodka. Lots and lots of vodka. That’s what I use to wash off the stench and neutralize the poison of Remora.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        @j.eyre:

        Tee hee! I am just imagining you running to Chariots of Fire & hoping that you did not damage your dainty slippers. Of course you can run in your gown, apron & running bonnet!

        “CHarms” is good. I may mess up the upper & lower cases occasionally with my inability to hit the keys properly (as my keyboard needs to be pummeled with the force of Thor’s Hammer & usually I have the touch of a baby butterfly I mean dragonfly)…..but I can adapt.

    • Marty says:

      Needless to say I found it interesting, I think Chris plays the game way more then we realize.

      On another note, I was watching some red carpet footage from last night. Chris has his arm around Elsa the whole red carpet, but when they get to the end he lets her go and walks into the theater with her trailing behind. I find this interesting only because there was a large group there and it would seem natural for him to take her hand and guide her through, no?

      Wishful thinking on my part?

      • j.eyre says:

        No, absolutely a sign that they are through and he is ready to move on to us – well observed.

      • Anna says:

        See, I am eager to make up some excuse bc as a proper Hems apologist I need him to always be perfect and caring and committed and not famewhoring at all.

      • andrea says:

        I know it’s mean, but this makes me smile just a little.

        But is that because he knows that’s her game and he’s agreed to play it, for her? It can’t be possible that his PR told him to play up the married couple bit, because I think everyone knows he’s more attractive on his own (except for when baby India’s in his arms, of course).

      • Anna says:

        @andrea –

        I’m down with your take.

        Don’t get me wrong RDJ is my husband but I stil love me some CHemsworth and I would bitch slap that famewhoring wife of his to have a go at him. Don’t shank me but I’m greedy.

      • Marty says:

        I know this is sorta OT, but someone posted a shirtless pic on actor Charlie Hunnam Facebook page(not an official one) and it still got over 17,000 likes! The comments are hilarious, if you have time I suggest you go read them. The comments on his package are just priceless.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        Marty, this is hysterical! Oh, I HOPE Miss Eyre sees this! She will start speaking in tongues.

      • j.eyre says:

        Oh *gasp*! I read the Charlie Hunnam and skipped right over the link – thank you for looking out for me EsCon. Well, actually, did I really need this now? I am dealing with a lot of emotions today. I may need to take to my bed early… with smelling salts… and my lavender oil… and the “special” tea… and two Asguardians

      • Marty says:

        Isn’t it hilarious though Miss J?

        All those people are like yeah I don’t care I’m sharing this cause this guy is TOO hot. Oh Chris, does your sexiness know no limits?

  8. GoodCapon says:

    That suit looks cheap. Too bad.

    That fan is super duper lucky though! I’m jealous.

  9. EscapedConvent says:

    It looks to me like she is a fan getting a picture with Hiddles & it’s just a light-hearted bit of a laugh. Would she be dressed so casually if she were attending an event like that? I don’t know.

    But *this* I know—those pics have hit Tumblr by now, & that girl had better have some people who can hide her for a few months—maybe some relatives far, far away. She will not be safe on the streets of Tumblr.

    • Anna says:

      He probably made that girl’s day (week? month? year?). Good on them. Honestly, I will take overly-enthusiastic over sulky and ungrateful any day.

  10. Mirella says:

    Nope. What’s going on with his tan lines?

  11. Jenna says:

    A lot of the people from the Marvel Universe were out from the premiere; mostly those from Thor. As for Hiddles…never. Loki never did anything for me. Unlike SOME. Ahem, shamef*cks. -_-

  12. popcorn11 says:

    Hes no leading man. My guess is he will settle into supporting roles playing the villain/bestfriend. I dont even think hes talented enough to tackle character roles in middle to high brow flicks. He will surely fizzle away *ducks behind upturned desk*

    • Atlanta says:

      Yeah he is not handsome enough for the leading man. I dont know why he gets so much attention? I am puzzled. I have only seen him in Thor and he was ok but not the stand out of the movie.

      • Eve says:

        “I dont know why he gets so much attention? I am puzzled.”

        Marvel machine behind him (plus The Avengers mega success) and a VERY hard working publicist: Luke Windsor.

      • GoodCapon says:

        I may be biased but he was definitely great in Thor and turned heads everywhere as that curly-haired Brit newcomer in HW.

        TBH most of the attention he gets is because of the Marvel films. I do hope he uses his fame to get better film projects. He may not really be a *star* but he has quality.

      • Anna says:

        @Eve

        I think the Marvel Machine can only do so much without the proper raw material. Case in point: Evans.

      • Spooks says:

        I actually thing he was one of the high points in Thor. He played Loki spot on ( I had a crush on him then, but only as Loki). And, he was great in Archipelago. If he would only shut up and quit twitter.
        Chris on the other hand, is a leading man only because of his looks. He doesn’t do anything for me, but some women go crazy over him.
        Portman was just annoying.

      • Eve says:

        @ Anna:

        Which leads us to the second observation I’ve made: he has a VERY hard working publicist.

        He’s also willing to play the game and clearly LOVES the attention, things we both know Evans has never been very fond of.

      • Anna says:

        @Eve

        I agree on the publicist with the same caveat: the raw material still needs to be there (it’s not like Marvel couldnt get Evans a good PR person). And while I also agree that part of that raw material has to be the willingness, and even desire, to play the game (which Hiddles has in spades and Evans not at all), don’t you think that there’s still that need for genuine charm? And that’s something I dont see from Evans – I dont dislike him but I sense no charisma, nothing interesting about him. He isnt inherently watchable like Hiddles or Cumby or Hems, or many, many others.

      • Eve says:

        @ Anna:

        There is charm — and talent to work said charm in pictures, with fans, during interviews. He’s good at advertising himself.

        The problem is when we realize there isn’t much more to him than that (at least, not in my opinion — I don’t think he’s a good actor). Some will keep buying that as earnestness. I, however, became immune to said charm because it looks like plain famewhoring to me — which is a huge turn-off.

        P.S.: By the way, I could be wrong, but Luke Windsor has been Hiddleston’s publicist prior to his Marvel movies.

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        He gets attention because a.) he is very much an insider and a player who wants badly to play the game, and yes I think it takes considerable narcissism for such a desire to exist, and b.) he has a full time publicist who follows him everywhere. His famewhoring is a fullte job.

      • Anna says:

        @Eve –

        I wasnt implying that Windsor was Marvel-provided. Just that Marvel could have gotten Evans _a_ Windsor too.

        As for the famewhoring… well, we’ll disagree on Hiddles talent, but whatever his artistic merits, at least he’s promoting his own work [which he gets quite a bit of]/trying to get work by showing himself off – as opposed to using someone else bc your own work sucks. It might be tacky but it’s honest, so I’m ok with that. If he becomes overexposed, he’s the one who will suffer most.

      • Eve says:

        “…at least he’s promoting his own work [which he gets quite a bit of]/trying to get work by showing himself off – as opposed to using someone else bc your own work sucks. It might be tacky but it’s honest, so I’m ok with that.”

        Fair enough. I can’t disagree with that.

      • Izzy says:

        I actually thought he and RDJ made the movie. RDJ got almost all the best lines, and really, he’s just awesome. Period.

        But I also thought TH did an incredible job playing Loki. The character was truly lacking a conscience, but somehow I almost wanted to root for him. I feel that if you end up wanting to root for the villain, especially in a movie about superheroes, then the actor portraying the villain has done an excellent job. Just IMO.

    • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

      I don’t see him as leading man material (on the evidence of Deep Blue Sea) but will give him a chance with the Capa film. If he doesn’t deliver a stellar performance on that, I think he will have blown any cred as a leading man.

  13. TheyPromisedMeBeer says:

    Huh, was wondering who would pop up first here today – Hiddles or Cumby. 😛

    (No snark, just observation).

  14. Lola says:

    Why dont you post about Hemsworth instead? He is much hotter.

  15. evie says:

    next: dating a model/actress for photo ops!

    • Eve says:

      Yes! I want to see his fans having an epic meltdown on Tumblr and Twitter (seriously, it’d be the mother of all meltdowns).

      *fingers crossed*

    • Ginger says:

      Who do you think he should date for photo ops…actresses?? Models?? Should he date an equal famewhore??

      • Eve says:

        The equal famewhore is already married to Chris Hemsworth.

        I’d love if it were a model — just because his craziest fans are usually awkward, self-conscious girls/women (so the “model” part would crush their pathetic dreams of someday marrying him and bearing his children) and like to believe he’s above Hollywood’s “dating pool” (they like to believe he’s going to settle down with someone like them).

        Yes, I am mean.

      • Becca says:

        @ Eve that explains a lot. I was wondering who his fangirls are as i find him rather weedy and awkward looking. It makes sense that its awkward girls that thinks he looks “normal” enough to want to be with someone like them. Same for that Benedict Cumberbatch guy.

      • Eve says:

        @ Becca:

        Awwww…but I like Cumberbatch — he’s my cat-lizard from outer space (and I’m not awkward).

      • MissThing says:

        I’m fucking beautiful and I love how Tom looks. So it’s not that. pft. Perhaps its just the package deal. Perhaps he really did sell his soul to the devil. Maybe its just all that charm he carries around with him.

        Now Eddie Redmayne? How the fuck can anyone find him remotely attractive I don’t know. Guy has a face like a warthog.

      • Eve says:

        @ MissThing:

        I said his craziest Tumblr fans are usually awkward*, you’ve never sounded like one of them (so far).

        *Or think about themselves as awkward looking — point being: they DO have self-image issues, that’s pretty clear from their posts.

    • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

      I don’t think he wants the work of an actual girlfriend. He is all about Hiddles.

      • dasha says:

        Remember when they actually thought he was dating that plain best friend of his. The fangirls rallied behind her because she didn’t look like a Hollywood type, if she had been one of those models he likes to sleep with, it would have been much, much different.

        Besides he went to this premiere and the mtv thing with that friend of his from “Friend request pending” John Macmillan, so I guess it really was lads night out.

      • j.eyre says:

        @C&C – you get down thread and watch Tommyanna telling fans “how its going to play” and tell me if your little icy heart doesn’t skip a beat…

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        My heart is not icy!

  16. Atlanta says:

    This guy and his fake tan lines. He looks ridiculous.

  17. MissMary says:

    He’s already a modelizer and known for his one nighters/casual relationships. He seems to be cool with all types of women and doesn’t hide it.

    • GoodCapon says:

      Do we know of any more encounters after that African woman? TBH I haven’t heard anything about his ONS and casual relationships aside from what I read here and other gossip sites.

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        You know, to be fair, I was wondering the same thing.

        We know from that one account that he is just fine with casual hookups, apparently likes watching porn, and has… plenty of energy in that area. And we know from the Gwen Christie messages that he is kinky as all hell. But beyond that… it really is just gossip and conjecture.

        I have heard people talk about him as though he were a constant eyef*cking lech, but this could just be yet another fan projection. I too would prefer top hear it from the horse’s mouth.

        I think he is way too eager to get work and impress people to allow too many distractions at official events. My theory is that he is a workaholic with intimacy issues who needs to be in front of the camera, and that most of his energy is focused there.

      • MissThing says:

        “My theory is that he is a workaholic with intimacy issues who needs to be in front of the camera, and that most of his energy is focused there.”

        I have to agree there.

  18. Chrissy says:

    Is it just me or does it look like he has a 90s phone the size of my arm in his pocket?

    Totally retro, Tom. All the dragonflies on tumblr will be on you like larvae.

    • flower says:

      Someone told me he has an first gen iPhone, so I guess that would be it. With his money you’d think he’d be up on the newest of the new iPhone.

  19. flower says:

    Yeah I’d still hit it, he looks gorgeous.

  20. j.eyre says:

    To answer the question – yes I would hit it hard enough to make him see dragonflies swirling around his head. And I have hit it, many times, in my own sick little mind.

    I love what he is wearing here.

  21. Ginger says:

    She is a lucky fan girl! but I agree she needs to go into hiding now that she’s has been papped…watch out girl! The tumblr trolls are coming!

  22. Miss M says:

    No, I would not hit it.

    • Miss M says:

      @j.eyre, crumpets, eve, T.Fanty et al: It pained me to say the comment above…

      • j.eyre says:

        I was wondering what the hell was wrong with you – too many late nights in the lab working on Frankenhiddles? OMGawd – are you falling in love with Frankenhiddles – is that it? Tommyanna will no longer do it for you now that you have created this mass of Hiddles-goodness at your beck and call?

        Oh, Agent MOL – I am both horrified and proud of you.

      • T.Fanty says:

        Oh no! Somewhere, a dragonfly just died.

        It wasn’t because of the Gwendolyn Christie thing I showed you, was it?

        Come over to the Cumby side. We have hedgehogs.

        Hey, I did! Or am I a “nobody” now?

      • Miss M says:

        @j.eyre: That’s it. I finally created FrankenHiddles. All these nights reading about protocols, reagents and chemical structures paid off! Oh, he only recites poetry when I clicked the poetry button. All the Tommyanna side is controlled.
        Something is really wrong with me, not only I have FrankenH at my beck and call, but…*looks around to make sure T.Fanty isn’t around* I am still following Gerry Buttler on twitter and, yes, I melted a little when he tweeted about having a great time at Coachella, but he missed his girl (the dog).

        @T.Fanty: Dear T Fanty! 🙂 Well, I love the sight of Cumby and hedgehogs… But I will only join the Cumby side when Sherlock is back…Then, I will sucCUMB to the BATCH fever…

        @Eve: I repeat–> I will join the Cumby side when Sherlock new season is released, shank or no shank, :).

      • T.Fanty says:

        @ Eve! You did? Hold on (going back to look)

        ETA: AHHHHH! Just read AgentMOL’s post!!! Oh no. Okay, I’m going to focus REALLY hard on the fact that he was in Coriolanus and try to let it go. I won’t even mention his rabbit teeth.

        And the Frankenhiddles sounds AWESOME. I hope it has a little button by the crotch, that, when you press it, a giant hand springs out and swats away the annoying fans.

      • Eve says:

        @ T.Fanty:

        I did. My answer was this:

        Cumberbatch’s voice is so amazing that it almost feels like it’s a separate entity.

        By the way, this:

      • T.Fanty says:

        @Eve:

        Just saw those pics. Oh dear god. I can’t even comment on the first one. It’s too disturbing.

    The only thing I care about is the fact that we didn’t see Hiddleston until Hemsworth popped up. Love is in the air guys, and it’s name is Hiddlesworth.

  24. Reece says:

    Yeah I only really like him as Loki.

  25. Agitation says:

    OMG I JUST SAW A POST FROM THE GIRL WHO’S PHONE WAS TAKEN BY TOM ON TUMBLR JUST NOW. THE CONVERSATION IS PRICELESS.

    http://shaitana.tumblr.com/post/48857562949(not my tumblr)

    And then this:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BotnlbhkV38

    I don’t see this as so much famewhoring as trying to be polite, while still catering to his insane fans. Make of it what you will.

    • flower says:

      Looks like he’s finally growing some nads and telling the fans what is going to happen not what they want to happen. Interesting to see that side of him tbh, forceful, but polite. His security guard looked shocked, lol.

      • Agitation says:

        Maybe he’s been reading some of the posts here about him enabling the crazies, lol. Which would be AWESOME in my opinion.

    • j.eyre says:

      Oh – Tom speaking firmly. Yes, yes this will do nicely. Thanks for posting.

    • T.Fanty says:

      Mmm. A Tom with a firm hand (ahem)! My only disappointment was that he didn’t assert himself in iambic pentameter.

      *grabs my paddle and hops back on the Hiddles train*

      My plan to win him is foolproof. I’m going to start tweeting him these: http://www.sextsfrommarxists.tumblr.com
      After his week below the line, he won’t be able to resist.

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        Wow! Hiddles is being firm with his fans and putting down reasonable boundaries! If he keeps this up along with posting smarter tweets, I might feel some hope for him!

    • Anna says:

      I love this. I love everything about this. He is my ray of sunshine.

      • T.Fanty says:

        Ahem. I think you mean us. WE are your ray of sunshine. Hiddles without celebitches is nothing. It would be like like a jacket without a dragonfly. Or a hedgehog without a Cumby. Or a crotchshot without a crumpet. You get the idea.

    • j.eyre says:

      See, now, I am okay with the lack of iambic pentameter. I am going to hear him saying “that’s just how it’s going to play” in my head all day. I may even give him the paddle today (for like an hour – I mean, come on – these boots look silly without it)

      @Fanty – you are my supplier of literary sex/smut. How can I ever thank you enough for that link? (No, I get Tommyanna until tea time – we discussed this already) Where do you find this stuff?

    • Reece says:

      Now that guy I could like beyond Loki. I want more of him.

    • Miss M says:

      @Agitation: Thanks for the video!It has definitely made me think to put him back on my list.

    • I Choose Me says:

      I like the man and would do things with him that would make a libertine blush but that tumblr fan seriously made me roll my eyes.

      As for that video. That’s right, I knew he had it in him. That’s how he always features in my fantasies in any case, large ‘ahem’ and in charge.

      • Agitation says:

        I can kind of see and understand why she was so excited and starstruck(she seems around my age and that’s pretty young), but she did come off as really thirsty.

        But yes, it seems a lot of people were pleased at Tom’s assertiveness.

      • j.eyre says:

        @ICM – I told you darling, if you let Tommyanna go, he just flies right back into your heart (among other places)

  26. MissThing says:

    He spent more time with the fans on the other side of the street than he did in front of the paps on the red carpet. He also spent time with fans waiting by his car after the movie was over.

    Fame whore or not, he really seems to like the fan attention. However there has never been a camera he didn’t like 😉

    I love it when he goes commando too. I’d still hit. All night long.

  27. serena says:

    He is a part of the movie, I saw some pics.

  28. Mia says:

    Would I hit it? Nope. I do like his suit though. And why in the hell are they remaking “The Crow”? Hollywood recycles movies so much it’s disgusting. The period film actually sounds interesting though. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s independent or foreign. That’s the only way to see a compelling or thought provoking film these days.

  29. Miss Melissa says:

    Um. An observant individual (or an insider?) on another gossip page has pointed out that a certain male actor has accompanied Tom on this LA trip, and is in the background of all the pictures from the MTV awards and last night and can be seen speaking with Tom at the beginning of the video above.

    Hmm. Boobs or no, perhaps no one here has the preferred equipment for Hiddles?

    (John Macmillan is the name you want to google.)

      • Lizzie says:

        His boyfriend is cute!!

      • Miss Melissa says:

        If it walks like a duck…

      • Santa says:

        I wouldnt be surprised if he is gay. I hope he is and we get to see more of the other guy because he is much hotter than Tom!!! Also need some hot black guys being championed on this site

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        Wow, they are adorable together. Marry him, Hiddles!

      • Eve says:

        I wonder how his Tumblr fans would react if it was confirmed he was gay. A large portion of Tumblr bloggers/readers are very pro-gay (re: general Tumblr blogs, not the fandoms), but his fans — specifically — don’t seem to be that open minded.

      • Agitation says:

        @EVE I’m going to have to disagree with you there on whether the Hiddleston fans of Tumblr are open-minded enough to accept gay!Tom. I’m not afraid to confess I’m into the whole tumblr thing, but I think it’s really a VERY vocal minority of his fans that are genuinely depraved and look at him through rose-colored glasses. Also, considering how big the Hiddlesworth tag is both in and outside of Tumblr, I doubt there would be any qualms about him being gay.(Though the whether or not they’ll take the mystery lover not being Hemsworth so well is up to interpretation.) I think you guys are a little too hard on us tumblerites sometimes. 🙂 His(possible) boyfriend is kind of cute though. Also

      • dasha says:

        @Eve,

        I don’t think anyone attached to Tom in a romantic way, bf or gf would ever be accepted by those fangirls on tumblr. I mean that site and those fangirls claim to be gay friendly, but the moment one of their crushes is otherwise engaged, all hell breaks loose. A lot of them at least IMO treat homosexuality like it’s a purse they can just carry around with them like a fad, they don’t care about LGBT people, beyond “oh it makes them look cool to like LGBT people”.

      • Eve says:

        @ Agitation:

        Whoa! Easy there, you don’t have to yell my name. Well, I’ve seen plenty of posts both on Tumblr and comment boards on fan sites that were OUTRAGED at the thought of him being possibly gay. So…we disagree about this one — and let’s leave it that.

        @ Dasha:

        That’s a great point. Sometimes I get the feeling they just want to sound cool. The moment they realize their favourite actor might be gay, they get upset.

      • Eve says:

        *OUTRAGED by.

      • Miss Melissa says:

        Yeah. I’m calling it.

        I think he bats for the other team.

      • T.Fanty says:

        I don’t know. That Gwen Christie thing was pretty incriminating. I wouldn’t be surprised if he swings both ways. A delicate, possibly closet public schoolboy going for an assertive older woman? I’ve DEFINITELY seen that before.

      • Miss Melissa says:

        She’s older? I thought they were about the same age?

        How old is she?

        I’ve always thought “swings both ways” was code for “just not out of the closet yet.”

        Am I being closed minded? I’ve met and known truly bisexual women, but never a truly bisexual man.

      • T.Fanty says:

        I worked in the theatre for years, and a lot of “straight” actors considered themselves hetero, but slept with men on the side. It’s wanting to have sex with men vs wanting to “be” gay.

      • Miss M says:

        wrong reply

    • dasha says:

      They’re friends, they were in that short “friend request pending”.

        How do you know what they are to eachother Dasha. Just kidding, sort of…. 😉

      • dasha says:

        @Becca,

        Because I was at the premiere yesterday, and met them both. :).

      • j.eyre says:

        Oh dasha – you just slipped that in, did you?!? Good lord woman – let’s have some stories!

      • dasha says:

        After the film was over and peeps were milling around, I walked up to him as he was standing there looking kind of lost waiting as others started to leave and introduced myself. He was the nicest thing ever, complimented me on my dress, shook my hand as I told him that I was looking forward to the next Thor and we laughed about the internet’s reaction to Loki’s hair. He introduced me to his friend (who I had to look up the next day, had no idea who he was, Tom only said they were in a film together, he introduced him as “my mate John Macmillan”) who was also very nice, but hey I only had eyes for Tom. We spent about five minutes chatting (am not really going to get into that, as some of it was personal, check) and then he had to leave.

        As for the film, it was okay, I liked the first film the best I think.

        Tom’s a real looker in person, as in a “I’d get him a room alone and climb him like a tree” kind of thing. LOL.

      • Miss Melissa says:

        Indeed Dasha, spill.

        Did you get a “couple” vibe?

        What do you think? Gay or flexible?

      • dasha says:

        @Melissa,

        They came across as friends tbh, didn’t give any indication or vibes of them being anything more. I mean it may mean nothing, or everything. I didn’t ask them, I was too busy meeting Loki. 🙂

        >What do you think? Gay or flexible?

        I thought Tom was straight and into curvy brunette women? At least that was what I’ve heard. Gay or flexible? I have no clue tbh.

    • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

      I have always gotten a gay vibe from him. If he is not bisexual or “heteroflexible” I will be astonished.

      His tweets with Gwen Christie are kinky as all hell, and I love it that he is the bottom. It suits him. This is why we love to spank that boy.

      • Eve says:

        @ C&C:

        HETEROFLEXIBLE! Did you just come up with that word or you’ve already seen it before?

        I LOVE IT!

        That’s how I’m going to describe myself from now on: heteroflexible (better than “straight with an overdeveloped sense of adventure”).

      • Agitation says:

        I need to see these tweets everyone keeps going on about…

      • andrea says:

        Same here. I’ve always gotten a bi vibe from him. He seemed to really be into the ex Susannah, but there’s something about the vanity…

        That being said, I don’t think he’s with John. They’d make a cute couple, but I would think Hiddles’ “serious relationship” type in men runs a bit more parallel to his “official girlfriend” type in women (i.e. Susannah). But hell, it’s all speculation. For all I know, he’s a power bottom.

        Is it odd that I’d like him more if he really is “heteroflexible?”

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        Not unusual at all. My interest in a man goes way up if he will at least kiss another man.

        Power bottom! I know that type– dominant bottoms who want it the way they want it and will throw the ball gag right at you. I don’t see that in Hiddles. I suspect that he really does prefer to be in thrall to older, majestic, and much more powerful women.

      • Miss Melissa says:

        What tweets? I’ve seen her side of a conversation only on myspace. Do tell.

      • ichsi says:

        Absolutely. I mostly get the gay vibe from how he interacts with his (out-in-the-open)publicist. They’re like a married couple. But it’s his decision to stay in the closet. Hollywood is cruel and he might want to cement his worth a little before he comes out.

      • MissThing says:

        I’ll be his older majestic dominant woman. Oh yes I will.

    • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

      I have found nothing on Gwen Christie’s age. She strikes me as mid-thirties, maybe a bit older. She is totally stealing GoT and I hope some awards come her way. She’s amazing!

      • Miss M says:

        @T.Fanty, Crumpets, Eve et al: well, well, well… he can be all “Heteroflexible” …especially if it’s Tom (Hardy)-me- Hiddles… I called this ages ago…Can I be a bit stereotypical here?
        1- polite (check);
        2- well dressed (check);
        3- charming (check);
        4- intelligent/well spoken (check);
        5- a bit melodramatic (check).

        Uh Oh… 🙂

        ps: *Needs to stay focused for her presentation tomorrow*

      • T.Fanty says:

        Oh, that is tomorrow? Best of British to you!

        I’m all for heteroflexibility, but it must involve Tom Hardy somewhere.

        And, agentMOL, your checklist jus describes most English men (allowing Cumby some heteroflexibility in the “well-dressed” category).

      • Miss M says:

        @T.Fanty: yes, it’s tomorrow, thanks!
        Hmmm…my list describes heteroflexible English men? What am I doing here?! just kidding!

  30. EscapedConvent says:

    Hmmm…just noticed that there are 170 responses to this post so far, which is not bad for a guy who was dismissed a week ago as a TryHard Pollyanna, & whom we would not hit.

    Are we fickle bitches, or what?!

    • j.eyre says:

      And look at the smug little prince – he knew we would be back…

      And by “we”, I mean you all because I never left him. Cheated on him, but never left.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        I’m just glad there are enough bedrooms & secret hallways at Thornfield for you to keep Hiddles & CHarms separate, while you’re boinking them both.

        And I like this new name “Hiddlesworth.” (Saw this upthread) We can always do with an Asgardian portmanteau.

        How you manage all this with your baking & knitting duties—well, I have no idea, but I doff my beret to you, Miss Eyre.

    • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

      He is still a Tryhard pollyanna who humps one’s leg like an eager and annoying puppy starved for a Hollywood career.

      And we love to spank him hard for it.

      But only because we really care, ya know.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        I’m always going to laugh at Hiddles’ humping of legs like the annoying puppy he seems to be.

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        All that said….

        There is nothing more wonderful than a black lab puppy. They are the bodhisattva brought to earth.

        Hiddles is ridiculous in his leg-humping fame-whoring tendencies, but you will never hear me disparage an actual puppy.

    • T.Fanty says:

      This thread has made me so happy today. The lacklustre nature of recent Cumby posts had made me fear that we had lost our mojo. Thank god for TommyAnna and his army of dragonflies. Never change, Hiddles.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        All this Tomfoolery has made me feel incoherent, but I don’t mind that.

        But Fanty, don’t worry about the mojo. As long as there are people to ridicule, the mojo will follow.

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        I think we should all bow and take credit for this lunacy. And create much, much more of it.

        I hope I am doing my part to keep up with you guys….

    • Anna says:

      No, No, No, No No. Firmly Team Hiddles now and before, embracing his try-hardy ways and all. Esp. bc Team Hems is increasingly brewing angst in me. #Dragonflies!

  31. EscapedConvent says:

    Since we’ve lost our damn minds today anyway, I put forth that I would like to see Hiddles & Cumby in The Importance of Being Earnest.

    I never tire of imaginary casting.

    And no Reese Witherspoon aka Laura Jean Poon, or AnnE Hathapainintheass, either.

    • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

      I would want him to star in a Quentin Crisp biopic– but John Hurt already did it.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        Remake, Crumpets! There is no end to them. And as God is my witness, Cumby will be Mr. Chips one day!

        Because he has the cardigan.

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        But I am so tired of remakes! This is why I hate the idea of The Crow! Bleh! Do something new and make it yours, Hiddles!

        I loved Quentin Crisp as Queen Elizabeth I in Orlando. He was priceless.

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        Maybe they can both do The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie in drag. That would be a remake worth watching.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        GASP!! Miss Brodie! Oh my G that is a great idea. A very, very great favorite. And of course, that is Fanty’s mother-in-law by way of Toby.

        I think if someone tries to re-make Miss Brodie with Julia Roberts, I will have to visit their office with a blowtorch.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        @Crumpets,

        Yep. Me too. 😉

        You just don’t find this kind of nonsense & Tomfoolery anywhere else.

        Does someone have enough chocolate to go around? (Miss Eyre has been locking up the baking chocolate.)

        Sorry–I hit the wrong reply button -again-.

      • T.Fanty says:

        Hellooooo, Mr. Chips.

      • T.Fanty says:

        Now I want to start calling them Hinge and Bracket (google it). If that isn’t a musical revue in their future, then I’ll eat my dragonfly crown.

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        I would join you with another blow torch!

        No, no, no… Miss Brodie would have to be Hiddles in drag. It would be priceless. That is a remake I would pay good money to see.

    • T.Fanty says:

      Only if Cumby dons drag and goes as Lady Bracknell. I could see him shrieking “A HANDBAG?!?”

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        We have all *totally* lost our minds today. *cackle* I love it of course.

      • Anna says:

        @C&C –

        I already poured myself a stiff one (sadly neither Hems NOR Hiddles). There’s no way to follow these threads while totally lucid 😉

      • T.Fanty says:

        I would pay a lot of money to see them both do some Joe Orton. Loot, perhaps, or What the Butler Saw?

        Plus, they would make a great pairing for Rosencranz and Guildernstern are Dead. This of the codpieces!

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        T.Fanty: Good call! Orton’s What the Butler Saw would be awesome!

    • Anna says:

      I am 100% down with that remake! Now, who are the female leads we’re casting alongside Hiddles and Cumby?

      • I Choose Me says:

        Why not it keep it an all male cast. That would be interesting and HOT!

      • EscapedConvent says:

        Anna, I’m so sorry, but my synapses have fallen into the gap & I’m paralyzed. Need a nap. That’s why I can’t offer any female character ideas….for now. 😉

        But I’ll put my thinking cap back on as soon as I find it….sigh…must ask Miss Eyre to knit new thinking cap.

  32. T.Fanty says:

    Did someone just mention Toby? *swoons*

    I have no idea where anything is in this thread anymore.

    • EscapedConvent says:

      Hmmm…I could have sworn I replied to this, Fanty. I called Maggie Smith your mother-in-law because of Toby. I hope that’s all right. 😉

      This post has given me the most delightful case of the vapors & I am now lurching towards the chaise lounge.

      You really shouldn’t have brought up the codpieces…..

  33. Miss M says:

    @T.Fanty, Crumpets, j.eyre, Eve et al: Hmmm…I am just wondering if that ungrateful fellow gossip b*tch (aka Lainey) will plagiarize one of us AGAIN! We’ll see if she will use ..let’s say…crumpets “Heteroflexible” without giving any credit… *I am watching you, Lainey, with a shank in hand! 🙂

    • EscapedConvent says:

      @Miss M,

      I didn’t know Lainey did that! (Stopped reading her long ago) That is some nerve on her!

      She can’t go to thesaurus.com like the rest of us?

      • Miss M says:

        @EsCon:She (allegedly) used some of our fellow Hiddles CB*tches expressions in the 2 most recent threads she wrote about him. One of them was him being a puppy, bla bla bla… if the other CB*tches want to remind what else, feel free.

      • andrea says:

        I still read her but I haven’t been by there as much lately. Mainly because Lainey’s so far up Goopy’s butt she can’t see the Botox.

        But I think (too lazy to look it up again) the puppy humping thing was by another person. Sarah, I think? I remember because when I read that I started suspecting one of the regulars here might be her. And that creeps me out, for some reason.

      • Miss M says:

        In Lainey’s defense… I like Goop too! Hahahaha

      • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

        In Kaineys defense, I am totally fine with being plagiarized. I would like dragonflies to become a trend. And he has been called a leg humping puppy many many times in the past.

      • andrea says:

        Miss M, haha, well, I can take a little Goop at a time… but when I saw she got a suit in IM3? Oh HELL NAW!

        Yeah, that offends me more than the Most Beautiful PR Job nonsense.

    • j.eyre says:

      Has anyone been over to Lainey today? I must pop over there and check.

      I rarely say anything worthy of plagiarism but I shall stand in solidarity with my wronged Dragonflies (oh, you totally want to be a Dragonfly EsCon, don’t give me that look)

      • EscapedConvent says:

        But Miss Eyre! It isn’t that I don’t *want* to be a Dragonfly. It’s that I can’t fly or hover like the other Dragonflies because of—you know….my bustle.

    • Marty says:

      @Miss M- Woah what did Lainey steal? Not that I’m surprised or anything. The chick makes a post almost everyday bashing Lilo, but she’ll stand up for Kristen Stewart and Gwenyth Paltrow?

  34. Camille (TheOriginal) says:

    I didn’t bother to read the article because I think this man is an idiot. But I wanted to answer the headers question: ‘would I hit it?’. Short answer: no. No way in hell. Yuck.

    I feel much better now :).

    *hurriedly leaves thread before his rabid crazy stans attack lol*.

    • T.Fanty says:

      And ^this^ is why you don’t come late to our party.

      • Camille (TheOriginal) says:

        Aww sorry. Well I am in NZ and the time difference often makes me late to Celebitchy ‘parties’. 🙂

  35. allons- y alonso says:

    You know I would hit it every day ending in ‘y’. Please stop asking

  36. Marty says:

    I just want to congratulate all you wonderful ladies for a job well done today. This post has been epic!

    • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

      I find Hiddles to be spectacularly annoying, but. Man, do I love these epic CB threads. We have some very creative people here. Once the woodland creatures emerge, we are in another reality.

  37. chloe says:

    and so begins the backlash…can’t blame you i’m starting to find him annoying as well

  38. Agnes says:

    I’ve seen some of your comments on tumblr and now I’m waiting for tumblr trolls to get here 😀

    • Eve says:

      Kaiser’s comments or some of ours?

      I’ve searched for these Tumblr posts were they whine about us but never found them (something tells me they must be really funny). But I don’t have a Tumblr account, so I don’t know if the searching tool works better for those who are registered.

      • Eve says:

        *where they whine (…) but have never been able to find them.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        @Eve,

        So….will we progress from fighting each other to fighting the kids on Tumblr?

        I wonder if anyone on Tumblr is aware of the Cumber Games.

      • Eve says:

        @ EsCon:

        Fighting silly little girls (and grown-up women who behave like silly little girls)? Nah…too easy.

  39. Agnes says:

    @Eve
    They didn’t start to whine yet but I’ve only found screens of our comments on CB to this post (so it’s rather new)

    http://ffieryprincess.tumblr.com/post/48918727637/people-bitching-about-tom-and-benedict

    Edit: Actually you can’t see the name of the website but I’ve recognised the comments

  40. kronster says:

    Tumblr is on you guys. :)) And they are angry that you call them (what was that?oh, yeah) stupid little girls.

    I mean come on, why take everything so personally?!

    “Will there be a Tumblr–CB smackdown?”

    I hope so. Come to think of it, I’m actually dying to see that.

    Anyways,reading all comments made my day.

    p.s I’d hit that. But only if he goes back to dark hair. Not because of the whole Loki thing, but because dark hair looks better on him.

    • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

      Tumblr tears really do taste just like candy.

      I think a smackdown would he HILARIOUS. This is too funny for words. Bring it on, bring it on.
