UNF. Goodness. Here are some photos of Idris Elba at yesterday’s Celebrate Success Awards for The Prince’s Trust. The Prince’s Trust is the umbrella organization for Prince Charles’ many charities, and the Prince of Wales has many English celebrities acting as ambassadors, mentors and fundraisers for The Prince’s Trust. Benedict Cumberbatch is an ambassador for The Prince’s Trust! Alas, our Cumby was not at this event. But we got Idris, so that’s not bad at all, is it?
You know what I love about Idris? Nearly everything! But in particular, I love his smile. Idris has a smile that could light up a room. I love his posture too – he’s a big, tall man with great shoulders and he owns his size really well. And he knows how to dress his size and frame too – he looks great!
Here’s a photo of Prince Charles looking kind of dowdy yet dashing. I can’t help it, I think Charles has style.
Helen Mirren was at the event too! And Damian Lewis and his wife Helen. Damian looks… tired? Is he filming Homeland now, or does it start production over the summer? My guess is that he has a few more months until he has to come back to America to film (or wherever Brody is going to be next season – Saudi Arabia? Egypt? Syria?)

Yes. Yes, I would hit it.
Aaaahhh riiiiiiight now that’s why I saw him yesterday dressed up like that right by Charing Cross when he was jumping into a car! *slaps forehead* 😀
I was like “what is he doing in London right now? I thought they wrapped up Luther season 3 so he’d be back to the US” anyway I kept walking…
Idris looks good. And Prince Charles it’s amazing as he ages, his then unfortunate features (ears and nose) are now not that outstanding anymore, he looks good.
He’s actually doing an 18 month club residency somewhere in the UK. There was an article about it in the Evening Standard a month or so ago. He’s taking a break from acting to DJ for a while (maybe before he gets too old for it!).
ETA: just wanted to acknowledge my jealousy. Does he look equally good in person?
Yeah he does look good as usual. I’ve talked to him several times, he is a sweetheart.
Yeah now that you mention it, indeed at the BIFAs last year he told me about his DJ thing, he was in Dublin the week before for a gig etc. But I didn’t realize it was for a while, I simply assumed it was casual as he was still filming Luther and other producing projects so…
Ms Kaydoo, I’ve decided that rather than stalk individual celebs I’m just going to stalk you instead and then I’ll get to meet all these people without any of them getting out restraining orders. Thank you in advance.
😀
alright as long as you behave… you follow them rules 😉
Perhaps that’s actually where Miss Eyre is this week. The holiday excuse was just a cunning ruse.
Miss Kiki, please may I come with you? It’s the second time in 2 days that I profoundly envy our Ms Kay who wants to kill me. Now I know that, not only is Mr. Elba one of the most beautiful men in the world but a darling, as well.
Too much for my feeble heart. LOL
^ this.
Maybe we should all get together and make a Hiddlestoner book of our love for him and force Miss Kay to deliver it (snicker). Although God only knows how p0rnographic a CB book of love would become.
😀
Well it’s dumb luck at times (when I’m not attending the events or anything like that). Also I’m a pretty sociable person so I naturally engage a convo, celeb or not celeb.
Haha a book! And since the Wendy name is taken, shall we go for her rival bitch Tinker Bell? 😉
Lauly of course, strength in numbers and all that.
Fants I can’t guarantee that we wouldn’t get arrested, but I can guarantee that it would be worth it. I’m gonna go buy some crotchless pants after work, wait what kind of pictures are we putting in the book?…
Crotchless panties? I would expect no less. Maybe that, plus a bonnet and a shank, to give a solid representation of the CBitches. Perhaps Eve can loan you one of her more decorative weapons.
Tumblr fanfic will have NOTHING on us.
I can see it now, the bonnets, the tweed crotchless pants (cos we’re British and spiffy)and the Samurai swords dangling seductively at our sides. Playboy will be demanding us for next months centerfold within the hour.
The little girls/misguided women old enough to know better on Tumblr can suck it.
Oh yes! Maybe when Miss Eyre returns she can knit us some nipple tassles to match the dong sweaters we will include with our book.
Then we won’t need to stalk anyone. They’ll be stalking us.
Lol, love you sisterbitches.
I’m joining you, Miss Kiki. That sounds like an excellent plan!
Could someone please clarify for me what a shank is? (Sorry!)
Did someone say tweed crotchless panties? Or are the images just blurring in my mind? I like all of it!
Oh dear God, I would hit it. SO hard.
I’ve already hit it 20 times over in my dreams; now only to make that dream a reality. He is also single again. I believe he is no longer with his wife but I’m not sure.
Yeah, what she said!
Helen! I want to be you!
idris: i want you to be the next James Bond. (Yes, I would hit it!)
Miss Kay: You make me wish I lived in London!
I think the Prince’s suit looks ill-fitting. Maybe it is just the photo though.
Climb that like a tree! Hehehe who doesn’t love Stringer Bell?
why yes, yes I would..
Idris Elba is a badass! I loved him in The Wire
Even though that movie Obsessed wasn’t that great, I can understand why that girl was completely coo coo over him; the brother is fine. He is one Brit that I think can fake the best American accent.
Charles has been voted best dressed man in England – I think even a couple of times.
He is handsome and what a body.
Prince Charles looks cute in his old age. We always hear how hard he works but, it seems like he doesn’t get the press coverage in America. Where should I look online?
I wouldn’t so much hit it as melt into it like ice cream on hot pavement
Hit it til the crack of dawn!
Idris’ tie is too short. Otherwise . . . the man is FINE.
Idris is insanely sexy..coming to London to stalk him..it’s a 20,000km trip but I don’t care..a nice bright coloured tie would have really finished his outfit..but who is really looking at his tie?
Yes I would hit it, I’d do anything he wanted. That is the sexiest man in Hollywood.
Yeeesss I would the man is sex. I would also climb all over Damian Lewis, he too is a beaut.
I love Damien Lewis too, and British men in general.
He is an attractive man. Not sure why he had not really become big on the Big Screen.
I don’t think internet chatter and gushing is helping.
anyway his suit is not fitting the way it should. I’m curious what he has coming up. I don’t know much about him. Have seen him in a few films as a supporting character. Hopefully he will be tested as the lead to see how it goes.
I agree; I don’t know why he hasn’t been the main lead in films but he does have a few movies in post production including a Mandela Movie. But he always steals my attention when he is cast in a supporting role. I loved him in “The Losers” and Takers. I bet if he becomes the first Black James Bond, his career would skyrocket.
I like Idris’ salt n pepper beard. He’s a handsome man…but he needs to button both buttons on his suit. It’s driving me to distraction how his shirt is showing at the bottom.
Idris?? No thanks…I’ll just look at him.
Prince Charles always looks elegant & dignified.
Helen Mirren?? Absolute perfection.
Hell yes!
Yup.
Umm. Yeah. I would be all over that. He is the sex.
Yeah, I probably would (not like that’s ever gonna happen though). I love that you said dashing. I haven’t seen that word used in a long time.
I would hit it over and over and over again. Love him!
Love, love, LOVE Idris, so yes, I’d definitely hit it!
Nope.
Your question must surely be rhetorical, but I will answer anyway with a resounding HELL YES!!
He’s hot, classy and talented at the same time, just like Helen!
Hell yes he can get it. Hubby already know if Idris wants it my HALL PASS will go into effect that day. He is so damn handsome and sexy.
Does Brody have braces? Something strange is going on with this mouth.
Amen.
Idris is all man. He is so elegant and dresses really well. Looove his shoes.
In a New York minute!
I used to faithfully watch “The Wire” with my hubby when Idris was on it. My interest in the show waned when his character was killed off. The hubby would always say, “I have a sneaking suspicion why you don’t watch the show with me anymore!” He already knows he would have to give me a “pass” to take liberties with Idris all.night.long!
Who WOULDN’T hit it? Hard?
Pass. He looks too George Clooney here.
oh yeah
Gorgeous! Love him. Neil Gaiman’s book Anansi Boys is being made into a film. Idris could (AND SHOULD) easily play the lead roles. He could be Spider and Fat Charlie or Mr. Nancy…or all 3. He’s that talented. But who could play Mr. Nancy if not Idris? I can’t think of anyone else. We need suggestions. Let’s make this a campaign.
OMG!! I use to love reading Anansi Boys books when I was a kid. I can’t wait to take my daughter to see the movie, can’t wait.
As for the Idris question…like a mack truck speeding down the highway at 120 MPH would I.
Would you hit it?
Surprised this is even a question. Idrissa Elba is fine all the time. I had a dream the other night featuring him Boris Kudjoe and Common. It was more weird than sexy though more’s the pity. 🙂
Sigh. I know they took a lot of work but I miss the Hot guy posts. It was fun seeing who all you ladies went for. And Kudos to Celebitchy for keeping it diverse during it’s run.
Who is Dame Helen Mirren wearing? Erdem? And she must be wearing LK Bennett shoes. She looks fab!
He carries himself like graceful yet masculine, and he looks great in a suit…I think he’s very, very handsome
I just rewatched The Forsyte Saga and damn, is Damnian hot!!! Just thinking of Soames gives me tingles hahaha 😛
Damien’s wife, Helen, looks familiar. Can’t put my finger on what I have seen her in.
@Tiffany: She’s Helen McCrory, aka Narcissa Malfoy, Draco Malfoy’s mum from the Harry Potter movies. 🙂
Rumors have a bonded that Idris may be up to be the next James Bond! Anyone have any thoughts about this? I am hoping these are not just rumors. I think a POC as Bond would be great, and that Idris would be exceptional.
Putting the drool back into my mouth now. I *do* have to get some real work done today.
Nope, too old for me. He kinda looks like P.Diddy’s daddy.
Yes, yes, yes!
This man epitomizes class and sexiness. Whichever lucky woman lands him should thank her lucky stars.
Absolutely, without question, do not pass go WOULD HIT IT. Idris Elba takes my breath away.
I would most certainly NOT hit it. My tongue would become exceedingly familiar with every nook and cranny of that glorious man. I’d give him a thorough spanking. But, no I would not hit him;)
I would smack it, hit it and rub it down!
I would never be finished with him.
I surely would, especially love when he talks
Let me think for a second…of course!!
WHY hasn’t Idris Alba been People’s SMA? Why can’t he be this year? Clearly many many many people think he’s sex personified.
