I was happy to see that Cloud Atlas was finally being released in England, and I clicked on WENN’s premiere photo set, hoping that my love James D’Arcy was there, not expecting to see him or anybody of interest. But as it turns out, it was a total sausage party at the London premiere, and some of the dudes are quite hot and/or doable. My guy D’Arcy was there (he’s so lovely and tall), as was Tom Hiddleston, Jim Sturgess (Pillow-Weeper), Ben Whishaw (gay, hot and talented), Hugh Grant (meh) and Jim Broadbent (God, I love him).
So here are some photos of all of the lovely and talented men. Since I came to the party for my lover James D’Arcy, I think I’d like to start things off with him, dong-wise. And then I’ll move to Hiddleston, then some gossip and banter with Ben Whishaw, and then maybe I’ll see if Sturgess is any good at flirting, then I’ll go back for another dose of D’Arcy. Jim Broadbent gets to cook my breakfast and Hugh Grant gets to flirt with me and tease me a little. That’s it. That’s all I want.
PS… I just came to a strange realization about Hiddles. If Hollywood ever decides to do a Danny Kaye bio-pic, I think Hiddles is the only actor who could do it. Considering Danny Kaye was one of my first loves, I don’t know how to feel about this.

Oh, good morning.
Hiddles. Hiddles. Hiddles. Ben Whishaw can stand close by and recite bits of Richard II for me, for when I’m done.
(darn: right as I hit submit, I opened twitter)
ETA: @ Miss Eyre. Saw this and thought of you. McAvoy channeling Ewan:

T.Fanty: Hello!
It’s posts like this that make my subpar Tues evening so much better, taller, suaver and British.
Oh, sorry – good evening! Where on the planet are you?
I live in Australia. 🙂
Aha! I love the idea that celebitches are surreptitiously ruling the world.
BTW, watched the death of Ponds. It made me cry, but not in an entirely bad way. The loss of Rory was more sad, I thought.
Oh my goodness. I’ve been meaning to ask you if you’d seen it yet. I adore Rory. Once again, Steven Moffatt has ripped out my heart and stomped on it.
I loved Rory. I got a bit tired of Tennant being maudlin about his companions, and I think having Rory really helped avoid that pitfall. I loved having River Song back again, too. It was good enough that I haven’t recovered sufficiently to watch the Snowman episode yet. I did, however, move on to The Thick of It, which, after a shaky start, I’m beginning to love.
Thank You! As much as i love Tennant’s Doctor (I mean, who doesn’t?) and his companions, it all became a bit…cheesy.
It was just so refreshing to meet a character like Rory that could see right through Smith’s Doctor in so many ways.
And – to come full circle back to Hiddles – people really don’t give Christopher Eccleston (the new villain in Thor 2) enough credit for his Doctor, whom I loved.
EDIT: I am so glad that you’ve given Thick of It a go.
Perhaps because he was only the Doctor for one season so he doesn’t have much to stand on compared to Tennant and Smith.
I am biased towards Eccleston though, I don’t know why. Tennant and Smith are both good in their own ways but I miss Eccleston and his northern accent.
A bit OT, but the detective at the very beginning of the Angels in Manhattan ep played Octavia’s ill-fated husband in Rome. He’s very hot!
G’day allons-y alonso!
.
You see, I didn’t care for Eccleston. I love him as an actor, but he seemed really forced as the Doctor. He just didn’t seem comfortable at all.
@ GoodCapon. I do kind of love that in the BBC universe, there is only a finite number of British actors. I love the way Moffatt people pop up all over the place. Although, speaking of Rome, I always adored Kevin Mckidd’s wife, who was also in Luther and Torchwood, No idea what her name is, but she is fabulous. I loved her character in Torchwood when she came back to life.
Wasn’t that the main reason why he quit being the Doctor, because he wasn’t in tune with the Who culture?
I guess you’re talking about Indira Varma 😀 I’ve only watched two eps of Torchwood so I can’t really comment there, but she was also great in Rome 😀
Torchwood is really great. Talk about taking out your heart and stomping on it. Stick with it.
I LOVED Torchwood. Is there any word of any new episodes of any kind in the future, or is it officially, permanently done?
Do NOT try to distract me from Hiddles by throwing Mac and Ewan in my path, you tart!
Well, OK – a look won’t hurt… but then I am coming right back here to drool and genuflect at the altar of Hiddles (leaving you to speculate what I shall be doing once down there)
It’s a Mac/Ewan combo. Possibly the hottest thing ever.
@T.Fan – you have no idea the service you have done me! I have been working on a piece for the E-Zine for which I write for a month. A fellow contributor requested Hamlet and I just couldn’t get my footing. About a week ago, I asked my editor if I could switch the subject to MacBeth. Now,just as I was able to picture Fassbender while I wrote my Jane Eyre piece, I can picture The Mac while I write this. By gawd, you lovely woman, you have single-handedly obliterated my writer’s block. Please leave an address to which my editor can a fruit basket in gratitude.
@miss eyre,
You’re very welcome.
I presume that by fruit basket you mean some kind of posh hot ginge with a bow on him.
What’s the e-zine? Can I read?
j.eyre, post us a link when the article is published!!
Hiddles grows on me. Love his smile, but I am not crazy about that haircut.
http://24.media.tumblr.com/8c2aca02c1b9a0837de223ffa420526f/tumblr_miowkn7BfT1qmsoako1_500.jpg
So, yes, he still encourages them.
2 things:
1) No contest for me. Tom Hiddleston is delicious.
2) I adore Ben Whishaw. He’d be the best gay friend ever and I love him as Freddie Lyon in The Hour.
Yes. I might also have to invite Jim Broadbent back home for a cup of tea and a fatherly chat.
Capital idea.
I am SO ANGRY with the BBC!! They’ve axed The Hour and so we won’t find out what happens to Freddie!!!
Sigh.
I don’t think Whishaw is gay, btw. I think I read somewhere he has a girlfriend.
Wait, WHAT!!! Nooo. I want to see what happens to Freddie and Bel. And Marnie is f**king pregnant too!!!!!
It´s so frustrating. And I think they not even gave reasons to do it. Not low ratings or money issues, they said nothing.
If I am not mistaken, Ben now is openly gay.
I am going to miss his Freddie. He was so annoying but cute.
Adore Ben Whishaw! Adore, adore.
+1
After seeing Skyfall I cannot get enough of him. Hiddles is gorgeous too and Sturgess seems like the nicest person.
He will always be Keats to me! Loved him in Beightstar. Haven’t seen Skyfall yet.
hiddleston!
though the others are good too. except for sturgess. i just can’t with that guy.
Yes Hiddles all the way.
something about hiddles just makes me think…playboy.
AHHH James D’arcy!!
I’m a big fan of Hiddles but he has been featured here on CB a lot whereas James hardly gets a look in – so I call dibs on James 😀 Btw, is he graying or is just the camera flashes?
PS Ben Whishaw is gay?!
Although it seems for some reason to be generlly accepted that he is, I don’t believe Ben has ever either confirmed or denied the speculation. He’s pretty cagey about his personal life (as is his right of course!). In any case, none of it matters anyway since I laid claim to him as my husband long ago. 😉
He is very tight lipped about his personal life. He has every right.
I think Kaiser is really trying to get into the Hiddles territory.
I want to see an epic fight between Kaiser and ms Kay… Hahahaha
I think it’s a three way catfight among Kaiser, Ms Kay and T Fanty 😀 LOL
No, because all someone needs to do is throw a Cumby in my way and I’m totally distracted. Hiddles is my back-up. Actually, now that McAvoy is doing Macbeth, Hiddles might find himself further demoted. At the risk of setting Miss Jupitero off, I like my men really literary, not just that liberal-arts-major guff that Hiddless tosses around.
Plus, Miss Kay totally intimidates me.
I’m terrified of Eve & her freshly-sharpened slut shank, but I’d be willing to step into the ring…. Hiddles definitely does it for me, tall men w/ a great smile are my kryptonite.
Tfanty, I love my men deeply and truly literary. I’m ready to forgive Hiddleston for his boyish enthusiasms, tweets, and not very good taste. His warmth and sweetness are sufficient compensation.
Also I now know that he has a satisfying dirty streak hidden away in there. Who can say no to that? I just wish he’d show it abut more.
@T.Fanty: Where is Eve to intimidate you too? YOu know Cumby is hers, right? 🙂
Yes, but I have EC on my side in that one. Together, we are unstoppable.
And Eve has been conspicuous by her absence of late. I’m watching my back IRL these days.
Slow down bitches I’m here, I don’t want you guys getting all the good ones.
I’ve gotta say Hiddles is invisible to me right now. He’s growing on me but with Ben, Jim and James in attendance, Hiddles could only what was left of e after the other 3 were done with me.
Hiddles will be too busy to work on you, darling.
That Sturgess fellow is cute, I can see that. But the Pillow Weeper reference – is that a movie or something he does after sex?
Agent MOL – I know Kay-Doo has been swamped at work, which works in our favor. I also think she is cooling her jets on Hiddles leaving that opening vulnerable *maniacal laugh*
Hello, Usual Suspects!
T. Fanty, I most certainly have your back in any Cumby skullduggery that may be afoot. Speaking of whom, it has been far too long since Sherlock season 2 & I am fed up with waiting. *pout*
And Ben Whishaw is cute as a bug’s ear. Has anyone seen him in “Perfume”?
@EC. I hear that. There’s only so many times I can watch The Hound of the Baskervilles, and much as I loves me some modernism, I don’t think Parade’s End is going to cut it in the Cumby -lust stakes. And it’s going to be a TOTAL bummer when he gets defeated by the measly Chris Pine this summer. We need some new Sherlock, pronto.
I’m on the same page as T.Fanty. Cumberbatch is a game changer. Then again, he’s not there so I take all the time in the world with Hiddles.
Agent MOL – how was your trip? Birthday adventure?
Wasn’t Colin Morgan there as well? He doesn’t quite dot for me but I am trying to distract the competition.
Love what Ben Wishaw is wearing. James D’Arcy has never caught my attention up to these photos. I love men who rock the grey.
@J.eyre: Hi, I answered in t he other thread, but I guess all discussions had died by the time I answered you, sorry. My trip and birthday celebration were wonderful, thanks! I came back just to find out Hiddles is a fellow aquarius, that’s why I cannot fully ignore him, :).
@T.Fanty: You better watch your back–> At.All.Times!
@Good Capon: Wouldn’t be an epic fight with these celeb*tches? 🙂
@Miss Kiki: be careful, Ms KayDoo has been very quiet lately. Strange, very strange…
Did I miss a birthday? Belated best wishes!
I miss Eve but I don’t miss her trying to sink her claws into Jaguar Holmes at every given opportunity.
I think I’m officially relinquishing my claim on Hiddles, I still wouldn’t kick him out of bed but he still does’t set my biscuits ablaze. Ms Kay-Doo if you see this, he’s all yours.
Ben Wishaw, is he definitely gay? Cos if not I have a few ideas.
Miss M, happy belated birthday!
Miss M – thank goodness I’m not fighting for Hiddles this time. There’s too many of us for one man!
Hello, Miss Eyre! I’m in a dither about what reply button to click. How have you been?
@T.Fanty:
I have been languishing here on the fainting couch waiting for someone else to mention “Parade’s End.” It doesn’t sound like anyone has seen it! I dropped HBO a year ago, & watched PA online when it came out. I liked it, but agreed with many who thought it was rushed. Don’t want to spoil it for anyone, so I shouldn’t say anymore. But I’d like to hear what you thought of it.
I thought the slightly “chubby” Batch was hot. So far, the only thing that has dimmed Cumby’s light for me was that awful Julian Assange wig. –shiver–
Brew, I’m on a plane tonight heading to Paris, then London!
Go see Macbeth and report back!
(Also, have a great time!)
Hello EsCon! I am well, darling – you? I think the thing we can be most grateful to Hiddles for always bringing us all together for an afternoon.
@Miss J – Paris? London? You lucky b!tch. Have a wonderful trip. *Side-note – I started looking for CHemboy last night (don’t know where you were to answer our questions, @Miss Kiki). He is in Australia so I am guessing out of town for the Oscars. They had virtually every step from the plane, through a costume change and shopping trip documented by the “paps”. Am I awful to blame her for all of this and not him? Alas, I think this will be an Asgardian-less Sunday with both boys home for the night.
@T. Fan – Would you like the Hot Ginger Deluxe or Fantasmic Basket?
Hot ginger deluxe! If, as I’m assuming, that means that there are two of them. I’ll take one Toby and one Cumby, please.
Btw, this post has totally made the day at my in-laws more tolerable.
I am in Paris! Just back from a lovely dinner after spending the day strutting around Paris like I own it, but collapsing from jet lag. About to crash soon….
I love this place. It will hurt to leave. I wish I could just live here and swan about reading poetry and wearing pretty clothing.
Anyway, London: I *will* see Macbeth and report back, never fear. It sounds wonderful. It looks like we will only be there for two days (we decided to stay longer in Paris due to travel snafus), so I will just have to make the most of time. Any suggestions for good spots for people watching and cocktails?
On the Hiddles front, check out this link from Studio Exec– it is hilarious and silly:
http://www.thestudioexec.com/2013/02/tom-hiddleston-is-real-doctor-who.html#more
*sniffs air*
Hmmmm, I smell fear. Good.
And like Beetlejuice, she appears.
Crap, she’s back.
*stashes Cumby in the basement and whistles innocently*
Hahahahaha!!!!!! Eve is back! What a phenomenal appearance!
@all Hiddles’ ladies : Thanks for the birthday wishes! It was on Feb 8th, :).
It was just too quiet…..
She’s here? Oh crap! (hides orange foundation-streaked baby wipes….)
Lemony just won.
I am now wearing the tea I was just in the process of drinking.
@ Lemony:
Oh, perhaps I should update you: I’ve been off the Hiddleston bandwagon for quite some time now (you could have waved those baby wipes at me and I still wouldn’t have done anything).
It’s this man you cannot touch:

ah – so Bana is fair game, is he Eve?
*sigh*…got caught on a technicality.
Eve, that is a darling pic of Cumby! Even after I mussed his hair & “dishevelled” his shirt, waistcoat & ascot, he still looks like a dreamboat!
EC,
That’s okay. He likes it when I scrub him up (and down).
*unsheathes shank(s)*
(Hums) “and it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood…..” 😉
@GoodCapon: too many women interested in him, I am losing interest…especially with his twitter.
@Eve: I was talking about Cumby, whoever brought up his name here, *can’t remember*
@j.eyre: We should all take advantage that Ms Kay-Doo is swamped at work. Where is Gracie?
I was thinking, why everybody showed up for this premiere? Is nothing interesting happening in London after BAFTA?
ps: if Tom and James were homosexuals, they would be a good looking couple, hahahaha!!!
Where is Gracie? It’s not a proper round without her.
Really y’all bitches…
Kaiser can keep dreaming simply because I saw her dreamy man Fassbender and I could see him again if I wanted to and I could hump him if she tries one wrong move on my husband!
Y’all lucky I was working my a$$ off at London Fashion Week who was EPIC, sitting like a boss on the front row 4 chairs apart from Miss Wintour herself… *flicks hair* Buuuut I saw Hiddleston later in Mayfair that same night on my way to a party… a total dumb luck coincidence and he recognised me.. Now if you excuse me I’ve got to hide my twitter account before he starts following me 😀
Now ladies T. Fanty, j.eyre, Miss Kiki etc… Le yawn! You can keep dreaming on CB, I am closer than ever for real… *wink*
Thank you for letting us live vicariously through your exploits, Ms Kay!
I fancy Mr. D’arcy ‘very great.’
I’m trying to work my way through his work. So far I’ve watched CA, Secret Diary, Virtuality, Master and Commander… I do not want to watch W.E. I may have to work backwards on his filmography.
No Cumberbatch? So sad.
Hugh Grant is really showing his age.
Lovely. Great way to start a Tuesday. Hugh looks rough. Maybe he’s helping with middle-of-the-night diaper changes?
Tom Hiddleston is just it. Like can’t put into words make my biscuit tingle kind of it. Sigh.
None of these guys do anything for me.
Aha! One less competition to worry about!
+1. I want some Askarsdong or Fassdong !
Put your hands up and slowly back away from My Viking. *sharpens slutshank*
This is a great Tuesday morning!!! Tom looks GORGEOUS.
That vest that Ben is wearing is fabulous. Love his whole outfit.
Hiddles needs to get a better make-up artist, he’s got that face and neck different colors thing going on again.
Awww, the boys are so cute. And so unevenly orange.
OMG James D’Arcy OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!! One of the hottest guys ever, him doing Secret Diary of a Call Girl was too.effing.much!
I can’t figure out what Jim Sturgess does to his hair. The front has a sort of “cut with a knife & fork” look.
Also, James D’Arcy is hot & has occasionally reminded me of Cumby just a little. But….no one can touch Cumby in his heart-melting beauty. Nobody.
By the way, how much better does Hiddles look when he’s not wearing a Christina Agulera level of foundation?
He looks LOADS better without it, IMO. I’d prefer he (and most other men) just skip the foundation altogether.
He was just starting to look like a carrot, so I’m glad someone took the bronzer away.
@T.Fanty: Hahahahaha! I loved the X-tina’s foundation…He looks much better, I even felt some Hiddlesfever seeing this picture and thinking I had given up on him.
He looks A LOT better, but he’s still using too much because his neck looks pale compared to his face.
It’s soooo damn cold where I live but these pics of Tom are definitely warming things up
Hate to crush your dreams about Jim Broadbent, but he is not a very nice man. He lives in my town, and he once came out at lunchtime and screamed at me and all my friends, calling us “lazy teenage thugs,” for… Wait for it… Sitting on the brick wall outside my friend’s house during our lunch break.
He’s also opened my friend’s drama school, and the teachers were surprised by how short-tempered he was.
*whining at this news of Jim Broadbent*
No! Say it’s not true! I was so hoping he was really like Bridget Jones’ dad, & I could resent my dad for not being just like him. Ah, well….
I love Hiddleston posts. lol
*sips coffee breaks off a piece of croissant*
Ahhhh….Hiddles looking yummy as usual. I seriously could climb that man like a tree.
I’ll take Stugess and Wishaw AND YOU CANNOT MAKE ME CHOOSE.
Not really my types…
Me likes hot metal musicians… Sexy as hell with guitars in their hands, playing the s..t out of these instruments, setting my imagination on fire… What could they do with these fingers on my… Stop… I think I’m going too far, that’s not the website for it…
i’ll have the blonde one
