    He looks as weird as his last name.

    • shaniqua nunyadambidness says:

      Dennis Quaid melting…

    • Schnauzers!!! says:

      Yeah, I totally don’t get the “hotness”. He’s not my type, BUT maybe he has a sparkling personality? That would do it for me. I’m a sucker for a great personality, darn the looks.

      • Jill says:

        No by all accounts he’s quite full of himself and kind of dickish.

      • Miss Mary says:

        I’ve heard he’s nice but has a very dry sense of humor and is prone to being self conscious. This from a friend who met him at a few charity events in London last year.

      • iseepinkelefants says:

        Jill – never heard that before. He seems like he’d be more of a dork than an egomaniacal jerk.

      • fy says:

        Jill: If “by all accounts” you mean a couple of people who are very literal minded and don’t get his sense of humour. If instead one uses “by all accounts” to refer to what 99.9% of the people who meet him say about it then he’s a nice guy and appreciative towards fans if a bit awkward and new to the big fame thing.

    • anonymoose says:

      Yes, super weird-looking. Freaky weird. Not “get yer freak on” weird. But he can’t help his DNA. (Or his terrible name.) Oh well. Glad someone finds him fetching!

      “Dennis Quaid melting” is so appropos.

      But that shirt does NOT go with that jacket, in any universe.

  2. fabgrrl says:

    Is this guy supposed to be cute? His face is strange. Kind of un-formed looking.

  3. merski says:

    I really don’t get this entire Cucumberpatch fascination…

    • marie says:

      ha, I refer to him as Cummerbund.. Although I did like him in Shelock Holmes..

      And I dont think Lawrence boned anyone either..

      • Lisa says:

        lmao, Cummerbund is what I called him when I was talking about the show with my brother. Then I ordered all those whippersnappers off my lawn.

    • katie says:

      Also don’t think that Blind is Jennifer Lawrence. Not sure who it could be, but I just don’t think it’s her.

  4. The Original Mia says:

    I’m with you. I don’t think Jennifer Lawrence slept with anybody. If anyone, that blind sounds like KStew & Pattinson. At least, it did to me.

    • mia girl says:

      Don’t think that fits either because the boyfriend/girlfriend were not in the movie together. It was the boyfriend on the big hit movie, having supposed affair with female lead, but famous girlfriend is the one who actually had affair during on set visit.

      For kicks, I’ll guess Kunis/Timberlake/Biel

  5. Dawning Red says:

    If they ever do a Plastic Man movie, this guy is a shoo-in for the lead.

    • ZenB!tch says:

      Yes! He looks like someone who had too much plastic surgery except he didn’t because he’s all wrinkly.

  6. a nony mouse says:

    someone’s got to stand up for Benny. I think he’s awesome. Unusual looking for sure, but at least he’s not some cookie cutter beefcake.

    • Lilyb says:

      Hear, Hear! This guy totally grew on me watching the first season of “Sherlock”. The voice, alone, is enough to make one’s knees weak.

      • Dana says:

        I find him very sexy, especially in “Sherlock”.He is an extremely talented actor. And I think it takes brains to portray Sherlock the way he does.
        Also I don’t think Jennifer Lawrence messed around either.

  7. Annie says:

    I think he looks great!

  8. jez says:

    No, he definitely still looks like some sort of alien creature (not in a good “otherworldly” way either).

  9. RocketMerry says:

    MARC WARREN!! YES!!
    My goodness, yes, I love the cast of The Good Wife, it keeps getting better and better! I cannot wait till this fall.

  10. birdie says:

    He always looked great to me, so yeah. He is handsome <3

  11. Lindy says:

    Oh Kaiser, I love you so much for feeding my Cumberbatch obsession! He kind of reminds of a taller Pierce Brosnan here (which is no bad thing)! I love him, love his voice, LOVE his acting, and yeah, I love him (in case I haven’t made that clear).

    • Amelia says:

      I’m feeling lazy as I’m all batched out for this week (been watching Sherlock) so I’ll just second everything you said ^^

      • allons-y alonso says:

        Love him! He’s something new and he can act – how refreshing
        Lainey needs to back off him.

  12. Jamie says:

    I love him to pieces, and I think he’s a tremendously talented actor, but sometimes he looks like a turtle.

  13. Aria says:

    Am I the only one sick and tire of Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield? Please, God, make it stop.

    • ZenB!tch says:

      I’m sick of Emma Stone. I don’t really get her appeal. She seems weird in interviews and needs to go back to red hair.

      I have only seen Andrew in one Spiderman trailer so I have no opinion … yet.

  14. The Original Denise says:

    Wrong; he still looks like an alien with a splotchy tan.

  15. RobN says:

    Actually he kind of looks like a pasty British burn victim. But other than that, yeah, he’s looking great.

  16. Aubra says:

    I thought it was Dennis Quaid on some bad botox

  17. Samigirl says:

    I don’t get the “fear” of child birth. By the time I was in labor, I was so damn ready to get both of those babies out of me, I didn’t have time to be scared. Also, I slept through my daughter’s labor, hahaha. 🙂

  18. MissMary says:

    Always good to see more Benedict Cumberbatch. Glad he’s back in London, lol, I was starting to think he went all Hollywood.

  19. tru tru says:

    uhhhh, NO.

  20. grabbyhands says:

    He seems to getting back to his normal lanky frame, which I like. I’ve missed his cheekbones.

  21. Chatcat says:

    That Cumberpatch guy looks like Dennis Quaid did in 1988 when he starred in D.O.A – ewww

    Don’t believe one iota of the Jennifer/Liam/Miley blind. I don’t think Jennifer would hit it with Miley because she just isn’t into Miley’s hillybilly grunge style.

    Paula Deen does look good…can’t wait to read the article with a glass of milk and a plate full of Reese’s peanut butter cup cookies from Salad Works!

    “Yeah. I’m totally going to see Magic Mike”… in September, via On Demand rental, at the beach house, with the gf’s when we have our “yeah the kids are back in school let’s party weekend”.

    Rhianna clearly needs more then just a bra!

    I don’t want to know anything about anything on anyone relating to inner-lips so I didn’t even bother clicking the link.

    Brad put Angeline out to pasture…what! Oh wait, that is just my wishful thinking.

    Anna Paquin and whatshisface are expecting twins. It wasn’t mentioned here so I thought I would because I loved The Piano.

  22. Elisabeth says:

    now there is a name you might have a problem moaning during sex

  23. Lyssie89 says:

    God bless you for pandering to the Cumberbitches once again. I for one would hit that every single day of the week and twice on Sundays.

  24. Billy says:

    This guy looks like a character from Pan’s Labyrinth.

  25. Jane says:

    He may not be traditionally good-looking at first but after watching Sherlock he definately has a little3 something something ;P

  26. Helen says:

    OMG The Good Wife guests!!!!! I am so freaking keen and yes kinda dizzy right now too!

  27. Anguishedcorn says:

    Fabulous actor? Most definitely.

    Weirdest face and body? Most definitely.

  28. Blue says:

    He doesn’t look as good in pictures as he does on screen. I absolutely love him as Sherlock Holmes and his voice is sexy.

  29. D. says:

    Nope, I don’t believe Jennifer Lawrence had an affair with ANYONE on the set of The Hunger Games. I do think that the tabloids are frustrated with the fact that Jennifer doesn’t seem to have anything to hide so, they will resort to the next best thing: Make Shit Up. Lawrence is beautiful, talented, and well liked and has no scandel attatched to her. What a cunundrum for the tabloids.

  30. D. says:

    And that’s “conundrum” not “cunundrum” jeez, I need more espresso.

  31. katie says:

    Um no. He still has a huge forehead and chin. Sorry. He’ll never be hot.

  32. iseepinkelefants says:

    Really? I hate how he does that flippy thing with his hair. Like he combs it back and then swoops it. And the tan makes him look sun damaged.

    • ZenB!tch says:

      He *is* sundamaged. His forehead is worse than mine and I grew up on the beach in LA and laid out all summer for 23 years (until I got a real job).

    • fy says:

      His skin is still damaged from the glue and stuff they put on him to play the creature on stage in Frankenstein.

  33. alexis says:

    He is odd looking, but I think he is handsome. I don’t know if I’d feel that way if I wasn’t introduced to him as the brilliant dark haired Sherlock though.

  34. ZenB!tch says:

    I do get a gay/bi vibe from Jennifer Lawrence but I also get a smart vibe from Jennifer Lawrence so I don’t see her with Miley at all.

    Is Scar-Jo still young? (trying to think of the big movies this year)

  35. jamie says:

    He is totally hot. I like the cut but he’s much hotter as a pale ginger.

  36. lu says:

    He is awful, nothing attractive about him at all.

  37. alison8701 says:

    Finally someone mentioned the sun damage! It’s very strange, it’s located on his forehead and no where else. He should use some skin lightening cream.

    • fy says:

      It’s not sun damage. He’s said it’s damage to his skin from his creature gear for Frankenstein on stage. He had a skull cap attached to his head as well as the scars and all that.

  38. MVD says:

    His face totally reminds me of that socialite that has had so much work she looks like a lioness.

  39. Adrien says:

    Nothing to say except the comments are hilarious.

  40. A says:

    Ha. I noticed that another A has popped up who has views that are polar opposite to mine. Perhaps I need to change my name to The Original A or something along those lines.

    I’m bizarrely fascinated with the financial outcome of The Amazing Spider Man. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m interested in the business side of the film industry. A few weeks ago, I read that Spider Man was tracking at $125 mil….Now, it’s tracking at $70 mil. Spider Man/Batman/Superman are supposed to track better than individual Marvel character films like Iron Man/Captain America/Thor. So while $70 mil would normally be considered excellent, for a Spider Man film that would be a disappointment. Especially when you consider that the budget is apparently $220 million dollars. If this film flops or under performs, I wonder how badly it will hurt Andrew Garfield’s career. It may hurt Emma Stone’s career also, since the buzz around Gangster Squad isn’t very good.

  41. CD says:

    Benedict Cumberbatch is a brilliant actor and a very intelligent man.

    He’s adorable and very sexy.

  42. Ally says:

    I guess if you like his performance as an actor or he has charisma onscreen, he would be attractive to you.

    Otherwise, sorry, it’s a case of celebrity goggles: he’s famous, he’s an alpha male, ergo, he’s gorgeous! (See also, generic-looking chinny schmo Ryan Gosling. Jeremy Renner. Channing Tatum. At least Cymberbatch, between the face and the name, is not forgettable.)

  43. sai says:

    I dont get Cucumber at all.
    I tired of him tbh.

  44. sai says:

    Cucumbersnatch – lizard in human skin.

  45. Annie says:

    Damn, even as someone who normally loves, the “otherwordly” look on others and even though I’ve been told I have an otherworly look myself – this dude is just too darn weird looking for me. His eyes are too pale and too far apart.

  46. Chickenlishus says:

    There is a cray-cray on here talking about non-related shiz. Cumbersome:(

  47. Genny says:

    Benedict Cumberbatch is an absolutely brilliant actor with a voice that could melt steel.He’s not at all ” full of himself “. Fans and colleagues know that.I think he’s very, sexy indeed.
