Benedict Cumberbatch came to LA to party: would you shag it senseless?

wenn20978907

I’m punch-drunk from the end of our Golden Globes coverage – is it really over or is it just a delicious dream? – so I just thought I’d take a moment and cover these photos of Benedict Cumberbatch at the BAFTA LA Tea Party, which also took place on Sunday in LA. The annual Tea Party is a thing, but from what I remember, they usually do it on the Saturday before the Globes rather than bumping up against the Globes coverage on the same day. Anyway, Benedict Cumberbatch was there, as was Michael Fassbender. And Chiwetel Ejiofor and Cate Blanchett, too. Seriously, amongst those three people, I would have a hard time choosing who to bang first (no I wouldn’t, I would bang Cumberbatch first).

It’s always interesting to see my two main men, Fassbender and Cumberbatch, at the same event. They were partying together after the Globes too – there’s an excellent photo going around on Twitter, which you can see here. Fassbatch. Cumberbender. Dancing. Shaking their pale groove thangs. LOVE IT. Anyway… I just thought you would enjoy these photos.

PS… Oh, I just saw that we DO have some photos of Benedict at the post-Globes party. I’m including them too. I like him better in the light sport coat at the BAFTA thing – it makes him look more like a playboy who will bang me on his yacht.

*stares off into space, visualizing a good yacht-banging with Cumberbatch*

    The man looks like a praying mantis! No, I would NOT shag it senseless.

    • frisbeejada says:

      OOh Good, more for me then…….

    • eliza says:

      Waxy ferret to me. The man seriously creeps me out.

    • Alina says:

      yes Animorph Cumberbatch does nothing to me too

    • j.eyre says:

      Well shoot. I am not usually attracted to Cumberbatch but I am highly aroused by Praying Mantises and now that you have made this correlation, I am looking at him in a whole new way; a very naughty, mantodean way. This is going to pose a problem for some of my relationships on CB…

      … oh well – if Cumby comes to the set without his head one day, you will know he forgot the safe word again.

      • T.Fanty says:

        Would that make him headless, or simply walking with very gingerly? Remember, the livelihood of a lot of “models” from Eastern Europe are riding on your answer (or not).

      • j.eyre says:

        If I am going to play into my whole mantis fantasy, he would lose his head post-climax not during.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        Miss Jane, you must NOT bite off Cumby’s head! His scarf voodoo doesn’t work properly without his head attached. Since the scarf-whipping GIFS account for millions of women being profoundly, hopelessly Cumberbatched, biting off his horsey head would have a far-reaching “ripple of evil” effect.

        Also, I would weep if he lost his lovely head. There must be some other tall, skinny English dude you can Mantis—but I shall not say his name.

      • j.eyre says:

        Hmm, that is a bit tricky – we are converging my insect proclivities if I meander over into that yard. Technically I can cannibalize anything on him after – something else you wouldn’t mind him doing without?

      • lunchcoma says:

        I don’t suppose you could content yourself with an article of clothing, Jane? There are any number that Mr. Cumberbatch would be better off without.

      • Delorb says:

        Seeing as how they keep going after losing their head, one gets the mental picture of you going about your day with Benedict attached…and going at it. Picking the kids up from school. Standing in line at Starbucks….

    • Meaghan says:

      Thank-you, he is disgusting!!! Who in their right minds would want to?!?

      • nk868 says:

        seriously can he stop being featured daily? he looks like a weird alien.

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        I don’t think you guys need to bash his looks that much—just say he’s not your cup of tea and move on.

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        @Meaghan – There’s nothing right about my mind because I really REALLY want to!!

        @nk868 – He doesn’t look like a weird alien. He looks like a perfectly normal alien. And if that is what aliens look like, I can’t wait for the invasion to begin!

        @VC – Better pop the kettle on. He’s so my cup of tea I’m going to fill the teapot and gorge on that tea cup of loveliness!! Will you please bake me something nice to go with it. I may require an energy boost afterwards!

      • @Squirrel (I always spell it wrong on the first try–don’t know why)

        I seem to be in the mood for donut holes—any particular flavor? I love strawberry flavored….

        I’ll keep some icyhot on hand for you–in case you stretch out some muscles.

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        thanks VC. Donuts always hit the spot! The extra powdered sugar coating always gives me a sugar rush! Any berry flavor will suffice.

        I do wonder though how you are going to make me repay you for all this baking one day. I sense a secret Liam stalking coming my way! If you hear of him coming to Australia, I promise I will stalk him until I can get you an exclusive pic of his trouser python just for your eyes!

      • Cameron says:

        I know right? He’s is seriously ugly as hell

    • jammypants says:

      He has attractive features but put together, it’s all just so wrong. He doesn’t creep me out though.

  2. lunchcoma says:

    Fassbender and Cumberbatch dancing is the best thing I’ll see all day, I suspect. I love me some men who are happy to have a couple drinks and get out on the dance floor, awkward snapping and all. So much more fun than the ones who hang around on the sidelines staring at the girls.

    (That being said, Michael, why are you wearing sunglasses indoors?)

    • Lindy79 says:

      Agreed. He’s said in a lot of interviews that he loves dancing and letting lose at parties. “I’m going non verbal now” I think was the phrase.

      That picture is brilliant, there’s another one of them messing on BC’s phone. I am hoping they were about to take selfies haha

      • eliza says:

        I couldn’t reply up thread but waxy otter works too. Lol.

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        @LIndy79 – Probably taking selfies so in the morning they remember what they did and with whom!

        I love a guy that loves to dance. All my life I have been surrounded by chaps who just sit around at parties, drinking and yahooing and forcing us girls to all dance together (except for my best friend’s brother, who it turns out wanted to be a girl so I don’t know if I can count him or not). It would be so dreamy to have a beautiful chap with a voice like Ben’s say “Come dance with me. I simply must shake my ass”.

        Hooooooo boy!!!

      • lunchcoma says:

        I think we know a lot of the same sort of men, Secret Squirrel. I know far too many stoic Midwestern guys who seem to feel it’s an affront to their dignity. One of my friend’s husbands wouldn’t even dance with her at their wedding – not even the first one!

        It makes me extra appreciative of men who aren’t so self-conscious.

      • Sah says:

        Love to see that other pic – where did you find it? 🙂

    • Janeite says:

      I love a Boy Dance Party!

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        Requires a certain amount of alcohol to get the ol’ hips fluid I think! Forgive me for bringing it to the BC post, but the BC/Fassbender dance would have been infinitely better with TH also there busting his moves (although secretly I am pleased he was working back in London and too busy to be out being naughty without me there to supervise him). Now three handsome boys in suits is a Boy Dance Party!! Bring on the Nutbush!!

      • Lindy79 says:

        Squirrel, imagine the three of them doing Proud Mary

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        My problem is I wouldn’t know who was who, because my eyes would never get above hip height!!

      • @Squirrel
        Don’t pretend like you can’t spot the Fassdong, you sly thing.

      • Janeite says:

        @Squirrel, if that actually happened I would need to learn how to defibrillate myself because I might actually die of joy.

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        I’ll bring the eye drops because I don’t think there would be much blinking going on!

        @Janeite – Its okay, I know CPR. Your problem might be getting my attention long enough for me to register you require assistance!

        I think it shall be known as the Hiddlebenderbatch dong dance!! And CH can join in (if Remora will release him to the boys for a minute) and then it is the Hemshiddlebenderbatch dong dance!! And for VC, the Neeshemshiddlebenderbatch dong dance!! It involves a lot of hip swirling, hand voguing and groin thrusting…

        Think I’ll go lie down for a bit. Feeling a bit hot and dizzy suddenly.

      • Janeite says:

        Squirrel, that may have been the most magnificent post I have ever seen on CB.

      • lunchcoma says:

        Can I come to this party? Or at least watch it? Pretty please?

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        Sure! What would a party be without sandwiches!!

  3. Haley says:

    In a word: no.

  4. flavia_deluce says:

    His hair is getting awfully tall. Love the photo of him dancing with beardy Fassbender!

  5. Hello Kitty says:

    “Here’s some info that may come as a surprise.
    Sometimes we like to dance with Just Us Guys!”

    Boy Dance Party! My dreams have come true!

  6. Moiselle says:

    No. I do not get the appeal of Mr. Cumberbatch. Just not my type at all.

    • Monie says:

      +1. I have been confused about the boner for him on this site. He has a huge, skinny head and a very weak chin that somehow manages to be a double chin to boot. Oh well, to each his/her own I guess.

      • Camille (TheOriginal) says:

        +1 to everything that you said Monie.

        Thank god for the palette cleansing photos of Fassy. I can never look at BC’s photos for long, his face freaks me out. Seriously, he is so fug.

    • glaugh says:

      I shudder whenever I see a pic of him. He’s repulsive

    • Delorb says:

      I don’t get the appeal of Fassy or Hiddlestone. To each his own, I guess.

  7. AG-UK says:

    BC but he needs to stop the hair gel let his natural curls flow. I know it’s a bit short but…. Yes why the sunglasses inside. Read BC told off some girl for taking his photo without asking… ooops.

    • Lindy79 says:

      There’s a million different ways he (or anyone) could have said it or the situation went down but I’m sure the folks who hate him will just add it to the list of proof that he is horrible despite a lot of proof otherwise. He’s said before, he has no problem posing if asked, just hates people taking sneaky shots (I don’t blame him to be honest, the idea of someone taking pictures of you when you don’t realise is beyond creepy)

      I did see a video on YouTube of some pap/autograph hunter calling him mean and an *sshole as he left the BAFTA party on Saturday night because he wouldn’t sign something.

      • AG-UK says:

        No it was sneaky that’s what the person said and he was posing for something else he just said can you ask next time. I don’t understand that I could never take a photo on the sneak probably because I can’t find the camera icon quick enough LOL. Plus I’d want to look my best and on the sneak would NOT be it. I remember seeing someone post a photo of Jake Gyllenhaal on Eurostar SLEEPING I thought please leave the poor guy alone.

      • lunchcoma says:

        As long as someone’s not a jerk about reminding someone to ask, I don’t see the problem with that. I think it would be very weird to be at something that’s not a public appearance and have people sneakily taking pictures of you like you were a tourist attraction rather than a person. I’d think the asking is more about acknowledging that you’re a fellow human being than anything about permission.

      • Lindy79 says:

        Yes exactly, remember the hair salon pic someone took of him? I’d HATE that.

        You just know though, that some folks will take it and run with it. None of us know exactly what he said or the way he said it. It might have been a “hey that’s a bit rude, just ask”, but some will have him roaring at her.

      • Green Girl says:

        Ooooh, I just saw that picture of him in the hair salon. Very weird, especially as it looks like he’s just relaxing and minding his own business.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        Well. I just saw that Youtube clip. What a pack of greedy, whining brats those people are. “Why are you always so nasty, Benedict?” Whaaat? I’ve never heard one word about him being “nasty” to a fan.

        He is known to go out of his way for fans, so that woman was just dead wrong. That must have been a pap or just as bad as a pap, an autograph hound— whose only reason to be there is to sell that person’s name. Why should he enable those creeps?

        Both of them shove fans out of the way & have even been known to knock them down to get to their “prey.” No mercy for them at all. This kind of aggression shouldn’t be rewarded.

      • Lindy79 says:

        I think that’s just it EC, they were clearly not fans (more like entitled idiots who had an attitude from the start) which is why he ignored them, and I doubt anyone who is a fan of anyone would be so verbally shady towards them.

        I’ve seen a few clips of him meeting with fans and he even apologises when he has to go or hasn’t time to sign stuff for everyone or get pictures (he started taking group shots and asked them to share them around) so whatever your feelings are about him or if you like him or not, you’d be hard pushed to say he is nasty to fans.

    • GeeMoney says:

      I don’t blame him for getting upset about that. Yes, he probably knows that when he goes out in public that he may run into a camera or video camera or two, but being filmed or having your pic snapped without your knowledge is messed up. The least that person could do was ask. And be nice about it on top of it.

      • MissMary says:

        I was reading earlier that he called some photographer rude and said next time just ask… I’m wondering if that was the same person or if he had just “had enough” of it? He also snapped at someone in Belgium at the premiere of TTSS and got in their face but it was a professional pap, iirc.

      • Joanie says:

        Here’s the video of the actual incident. It was mostly paparazzi, not fans, and they’re horribly abusive to him. Made me cringe. It’s a common tactic to try to get the celebrity to say or do something awful; that sells and is worth major $$$. Ben wisely moved on without engaging too much, but you can see that he looks upset in the SUV.

      • Felice says:

        I hate that so much. So much. That’s middle school bs.

    • ogg921 says:

      I agree completely that the people in the youtube video were waaaay out of line, but that’s NOT the incident The Hollywood Reporter described that’s circulating on twitter & tumblr. The HR piece was talking about him actually posing for photographers on his way INTO a Fox party, but chastising someone taking a pic with an iphone. (The youtube thing was him leaving an HBO party the night before.) Not meant as argument, but just to clarify.

  8. Anna says:

    I just finished Season 3 of Sherlock and I am still under a bit of a spell from all the glorious curls. Delicious!

    • AG-UK says:

      I just watched them as well, but I have them recorded so I can go back as I am not so sure… I think Season 2 was my favourite.

      • Anna says:

        I will agree, though I did enjoy 3.2 quite a bit. 3.3 was good but lacked the suspense of 1.3 and 2.3 bc – well, how could you top that? And also, my friend called half of what went down in 3.1 after watching 3.1, so that’s not too suspenseful. I’ll see how it holds up on rewatch. And dear god, I hope we wont have to wait 2 yrs to season 4.

      • curlsunited says:

        Same here. I love everything about Season 2, all of the episodes are just perfectly composed.

        By contrast I found Season 3 surprisingly disappointing and incoherent, too self indulgent and clever-clever, and I’m saying this as a huge fan of “Sherlock”. Good news: Cumby has never been more adorable.

    • Trashaddict says:

      Yes, but I’d only do it when he has Sherlock curls. Bang-a-rang!

  9. DawnOfDagon says:

    *SPOLIER ALERT*

    Sherlock S03E02, Sherlock’s speech at Watson’s wedding, and when the daylight hits his eyes. Enough said.

    On second thought, enough is not said. I would it hit harder.

    • curlsunited says:

      Exactly. Those bright blue-green eyes. Mesmerizing.

      I would hit it with the force of Irene Adler stabbing a syringe in Sherlock’s arm.

    • Delorb says:

      There was so much eye porn in episode 2 and hair porn in episode 3.

  10. Mia4S says:

    I’m loving him more than ever after the last Sherlock episode (no spoilers). My GOD he is a good actor. He’ll likely only get better. He was also apparently the only celeb to go see fans outside the BAFTA event. Clever, clever boy.

    • Maureen says:

      Did you see the horrible video of some media types (I don’t know who they were, so I’m assuming paparazzi types) who got mad that he wouldn’t stop for them as he left the party and literally called him as asshole the whole way to his car? It was dreadful. I felt so bad for him. And he was with friends, too. That HAS to be so embarrassing. These vampires. They are scum. And he’s a guest in our country!! This is how our guests are treated. Revolting.

      • Lindy79 says:

        Yep. Mentioned it above.
        Someone said it was a pap, another said it was an autograph tout. I’ve seen him get pissedat them before when they are pushing forward, asking for multiple signatures and forcing genuine fans out of the way .
        I’ve always respected him for that.

      • Maureen says:

        Ohhhhh. So that explains why the female was saying “why are you always such an ass?”. I guess she’s a regular. What a cow. What a bunch of losers who can’t make a living in a way that doesn’t require harassing and stalking people.

      • frisbeejada says:

        Er he’s British and believe me, when it comes to utterly scumbag behaviour nobody in the world can beat the British tabloids who are the lowest of the low, (hacking into voicemails, emails etc…normal practice for the Murdoch press for years) he will have encountered this before, they all do…

      • Mia 4S says:

        I don’t even need to see the video.Professional autograph hunters and (most) paparazzi are vile garbage. I’ve seen lots of videos targeting lots of stars, it’s gross. It is a good reminder though to take those stories of “rude” celeb encounters with a grain of salt.

    • Katie says:

      @Lindy79

      Ugh. During setlock, a pap actually pushed two fans–a younger couple–over hard to try and get a pic of him. They ended up on the ground and the girl had a bruised arm.

      I agree, I cannot stand autograph hounds either and respect how he tries to get past them to reach actual fans. It’d be one thing if the hounds stood there with everyone else but I always see them shoving, pushing and screaming at the fans.

  11. Beth says:

    But why wasn’t he at the awards ceremony?!?! Seriously, does anyone know? It makes me sad. That’s pathetic, I know, but I’m an American “Sherlock” fan, I’m emotionally fragile!

    • Lindy79 says:

      Possibly he wasn’t invited? They can’t have every actor there and I’d imagine nominees take preference. Most of the August OC cast weren’t there and 12YAS it was only really main cast.

  12. Green Girl says:

    I am not a Fassy fan (don’t hurt me!), but I am loving that picture of him dancing with BC.

    Now let’s play “What song was it?” Any guesses?

    • Cora says:

      I’m not usually into Fassbender OR Cumberbatch and yet I can’t stop looking at that dancing photo! They look adorable!

    • blue marie says:

      You know it’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” it always is..

    • Lindy79 says:

      I’m thinking something funky, possibly Get Lucky.

      The finger snapping and the near lower-lip bite that Cumby is doing coupled with Fassy’s swaying is what I’m working on.

    • Green Girl says:

      They both look relaxed and like they’re having a good time. Hey, they both look great, they’re at a fun after-party, and they can tear up the dance floor.

      Blue Marie, I was thinking it could be “Blurred Lines,” but I like your guess, too.

    • Secret Squirrel says:

      I’m thinking the Hokey Pokey.

      You put your left hand in
      You put your left hand out
      You put your left hand in and you shake it all about
      You do the Hokey Pokey and the girls will faint
      And THATS what its all about!

    • Lindy79 says:

      We have confirmation:
      Johanna Fuentes ‏@jfuentes 9h
      “Mo Money Mo Problems” by BIG @Coops_tv: Anyone played the ‘guess the song Benedict Cumberbatch & Michael Fassbender were dancing to’ game?

      • Kelly says:

        lol at that whole timeline

        I’d hate to be scrutinized while drunk and dancing though, it’s pretty shameless how that reporter basically stalked and reported every move

  13. Reece says:

    CumberBender because there is clearly alcohol involved. haha

    I’m leaving this post for good because I didn’t see the episode last night.

  14. Anoninga says:

    Ummm perfection. I just made the wallpaper on my phone the Twitter pic. A girl needs a little something to get her through the day.

  15. T.Fanty says:

    I would hit it like I was a poor, blonde Russian waif, looking for a paycheck and a good meal.

    Although if he tries to pay me in a book of love coupons that Wanda gave him for Christmas, I’m kicking his ass.

    • Lindy79 says:

      Are we thinking it’s a gin and tonic with lemon in that glass?

      Posted in other thread before I realised this one was here….

      • T.Fanty says:

        If it is, I’m totally taking it as a coded message to me, to come and get him. Which I’ll happily do, but he had better pay well. Or at least enough for my gas money out to LA. And for the blonde wig that I’m sure he’ll make me wear.

        Do you think all of the local working girls start to worry whenever they see that he’s bought new clothes? If he goes through his pocket money at Bloomingdales, what’s left for them?

      • Leah says:

        Is hard working PA Emily still around? I thought this sort of thing would be like… her reward for all the DUC wrangling? Go to LA and party with the A-list(ish? is Cumby hob-knobbing with the A-listers yet?)

        Also- I’d go with the coupons. Depending on what you can cash them in for… I mean, “love” is a very general term. “Benedict, dear, I would just LOVE a foot rub.” Or, perhaps “Benedict, darling, I just LOVE that scarf, but… no.”

      • Green Girl says:

        I was wondering if that was her in the video posted above. I don’t know if being in charge of him (or any celebrity, really) during awards season is a reward, though!

        I’d think that while Cumby may not be completely A-list yet, he’s definitely worked with enough A-listers that he can get into the good parties – and that enough of that crowd like and respect him so they’d say “Come join us!”

    • j.eyre says:

      Well, you would be better off with the coupons than the “acting coaching” as payment – your accent still stinks.

    • EscapedConvent says:

      Fanty, I think it’s understood that you must accept coupons.

  16. BrittaneyNichole says:

    I really like Fassbender’s face hair!!! But he is looking pretty rough. Benedict looks so much better when his hair isn’t slicked back. I like the Sherlock curls.

  17. GeeMoney says:

    Love them both! *drools into carpet*

    I would just have them both at the same time, honestly. *more drooling*

  18. GlimmerBunny says:

    My GOD Fassy is sexy! I can’t help admit that my lust for him didn’t even go away during 12YAS…

  19. Maureen says:

    Hello, Benedict!!

  20. chaine says:

    no.

  21. lisa says:

    I love celebitchy.com, It’s my favorite celebrity gossip page! But I’m so puzzled at the number of postings about Cumberbatch. He’s not compelling / attractive / talented at the level of all of this coverage….do the writers of this blog have a major crush on him? ( That’s ok with me by the way….I just scroll by him when he appears).

    • lunchcoma says:

      Yes, there’s some writer crushing going on, but I suspect an even more important reason he’s featured is that a lot of the readers are interested in him and his posts get a lot of pageviews – which is presumably the same reason that folks I find snoozeworthy like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston show up frequently.

    • Maureen says:

      He’s an incredible actor and a really nice person. That’s the attraction. The fact that he is interesting-looking is all the better because DAMN don’t we get tired of same ol’, same ol’?? I know I do.

    • GeeMoney says:

      Dear Haters,

      Go away already.

    • I don’t get why you’re commenting…if you’re so bored with him, don’t click on his posts. I very rarely click on KimK posts—because she and Kanye are just tired and make me fall asleep. I do comment sometimes, but very rarely. Same with Duchess Kate—unless it’s something really juicy, I only read the story for the resident Royaloonies–who are hilarious and informative. Other than that I love Queen Elizabeth and Prince Harry…

  22. Indira says:

    Sigh. I cannot believe series 3 is over. I have been just watching interviews and reading fanfic to make myself feel better. It’s just all making me wonder if maybe he’d go for a light eyed Indian girl with a macabre sense of humour 😀

    As a fan of Cumberbatch’s I;d rather this site stayed well clear of him. So yeah don’t post about him any more.

    So, I attempted to crash the BAFTA tea party with a friend on Saturday. I failed to get into the main event, but was able to successfully skulk the perimeter so that I could see everyone. So, for your vicarious pleasure, here’s who I saw, what they did, and how they looked:

    – Fassbender wore the jeans, tshirt and leather jacket ensemble pictured above, like he didn’t have a fuck to give. He’s VERY thin in person, and surprisingly shorter. He left the party very early; must have been one of the first to arrive, and was gone by 2:30.

    – Alice Eve was lovely, but looks older in person than she does on screen. She did sign for fans, and take pictures, on her way out – one of the very few celebs who did. That was nice.

    – Cate Blanchett GLOWS, and is statuesque. Total star presence. I don’t know how she gets her skin to look like that, but if it’s the SKII stuff she’s always hawking, I’m shelling out some major bucks for it right now. Pictures do not to her justice.

    – Benedict hopped right out of his Jaguar (of course it was a Jag) and spent about 5 minutes signing for fans before walking into the Four Seasons (right past me). He looked good, although not quite as good as he did at Kimmel. He showed up late, as he is wont to do (around 3:10 for a party that ended at 4). He arrived with Dan Stevens, but they left separately (Cumby was on his way to the 12YAS screening).

    – Dan Stevens has gotten very thin, but is quite striking.

    – Martin Scorsese is TINY.

    – Tom Hanks is handsomer in person, and has a really big head.

    – Sarah Paulson was lovely, but is another woman who looks older in person. Maybe it’s all the makeup these chicks wear for these events?

    – Sandra Bullock is gorgeous. Statuesque, thin, awesome skin.

    – Steve Coogan is cuter in person.

    – Aaron Paul is cute, but little.

    – Daniel Bruhl is a lollipop – big head, skinny body. I’m sure his girlfriend is very nice, but she seems to have permanent bitchface.

    – I passed Jane Seymour in the bathroom. Mama mia, she is gorgeous.

    – Joan Collins is still workin’ it. She’s exactly what you expect, and she’s fabulous.

    – Chiwetel Ejiofor is handsome, shorter in person, and has a beautiful girlfriend. She’s much prettier in real life than in photos.

    – Barkhad Abdi is very sweet, obviously overwhelmed by all this attention.

    – It was a thrill to see Jason Isaacs, who looked very hot in a slightly shiny navy blue suit.

    – Now I know what Alfonso Cuarón looks like, thanks BAFTA!

    I wish I’d gotten through to the inner sanctum, but I had a great time.

      wow,thanks 4 the insider tidbits

    • Maureen says:

      That’s funny about Alice Eve. I can imagine that. She does look old to me, and she’s so terrible with her hair that only makes it worse. Her body looks young though, so she should keep flaunting that asset.

      • Joanie says:

        I do like the fact that she’s fit and healthy – she almost passes as thick next to some of the Hollywood bobble heads who attended. Great body. There is something hard about her face, though – in person, anyway. I would say she is photogenic.

      • Lindy79 says:

        Agree about her body, it’s fantastic and great to see someone in Hollywood represented who , ok is still very very slim, but doesn’t look like a lollipop.
        I’ve never been able to find her particularly .. approachable or warm in interviews. I always imagine her as like her character in Starter for Ten in real life. If you’ve seen it you’ll know what I mean. Its hard to verbalise.

      • Felice says:

        I agree about her not being very warm. I want to expect that it’s just probably a guard but I don’t know her.

  25. Janeite says:

    On a slightly related note because Benny was in the movie, I am so glad that 12 Years A Slave won for best dramatic film. Truly a heartbreaking, remarkable movie and easily my favorite of the year.

    • Maureen says:

      I haven’t seen it yet, but GOD what is it with these awards shows?? They award a movie but yet not one single person IN THE MOVIE wins anything? That’s just SO weird. How exactly is it the best movie if the actors in it aren’t superior? EDIT: Or the director? Did he at least win anything? I’ll have to check.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        This makes no sense to me either. I will never understand it.

      • Janeite says:

        I know! It is quite frustrating considering the number of excellent performances in the movie too and how well it was directed.

  26. dontbuyit says:

    I’m not really attracted to his looks, I find him ridiculously sexy because of his personality which in real life I have no idea on what that is, but in his interviews the guy is incredibly funny, intelligent, witty and articulate. I’m attracted to his interview personality. Which may or may not be his true self. I can only hold on to the hope that it is. Him giving a reading of R Kelly lyrics is pure greatness and added a few hotness points.

    • Maureen says:

      His personality is great, but so is his body. Seriously, he looks good ALL the time. Whether he’s worked out or not. Whether he’s really thin or muscular and toned. His legs always seem a little disproportionately short to me, but otherwise I think his physique is always really good.

  27. Thunderthighs says:

    May I say, I did not at all understand the huuuuge, massive lady boner this site seems to have for BC.
    Sigh. Until I watched Sherlock Holmes.

    Say hello to the newest Cumberbitch…
    XD

  28. Andrea says:

    My thoughts:

    I’d shag Fassbender senseless but he definitely is not bf material (those horrid reports of his physical violence towards exes repulses me). He still is very easy on the eyes though.

    Cumberbatch totally is more the I want to get to know you and see where this goes kind of guy. I think he would be fascinating to talk to and wouldn’t want to ruin that with a one nighter. one nighters are more Fassbenders speed anyways.

  29. Kelly says:

    Only as Sherlock.

    My God, what a finale <3

  30. Ruyana says:

    He has a beautiful voice, but I’m in the minority here. I think he is weird-looking, almost insect like. Does not appeal to me in any way, shape or form. So more for you ladies who do find him appealing, cause I’m not having any.

  31. Sam H x says:

    I have never seen Benedict’s work besides his short appearance in 12 Years a Slave, Michael Fassbender impressed me with his performance as the evil, violent and abusive Epps and I haven’t seen anything of his either til 12YAS.

    Went on to youtube, watched some interviews of Benedict’s to see what its all about. Man, does he have a really sexy voice, he’s also incredibly funny, charming, intelligent and self-deprecating. I love an intelligent man who is very articulate and witty. I find it incredibly sexy and attractive. His gorgeous eyes help too.

    Looks wise, he’s not conventionally handsome. However he is one of those men whose personal qualities make him a very attractive man.

    Cumberbatch fans, I totally get it!

    • EscapedConvent says:

      If you like him this much after seeing Youtube clips, I’m almost afraid for you to see Sherlock. Uh-oh. 🙂

      • Sam H x says:

        LMAO. I’m not afraid of a challenge, will happily take the plunge and watch Benedict in Sherlock.

        Ditto on the picture of Fassbender and Bensdict dancing. Now that is a sandwich I would like to be in the middle of 😉

  32. EleanorRigby says:

    Yes, I’d shag it senseless and I’d buy him an In n’ Out burger afterwards, cause I’m nice like that.

  33. Lisa says:

    God no.

  34. whocares? says:

    No way Ever!

  35. LMB says:

    Together with Michael and him, hell yeah!

  36. Juniper says:

    People that don’t want to shag cumberbatch just haven’t seen enough of him. Or heard him. The voice alone is just … Well…. Let’s just say it does the job.

    • Sam H x says:

      You said it sister! When he was reading ‘Genius’ on Kimmel, oh my word! Was that sexy. I love how he kept his face straight the entire time.

      Along with his voice, plus his intelligence and sense of humour I think it’s a very attractive combination.

    • Andrea says:

      His voice is like how most men feel about pr0n, basically women’s version of pr0n.

  37. Abby says:

    holy fk he looks so good in that coat. I would shag him 10 times a day *exaggeration

    Fassy always looks like he never takes a shower….but the dancing pic of both is delicious….I am literally gonna make it room’s wallpaper lol,

  38. Lisa says:

    In a word: yes.

  39. lizziebee93 says:

    I think a better question would be: In how many ways would shag it senseless? *wink*

  40. Chinadoll13 says:

    He’s so gross don’t understand all the hype!!

  41. Nene says:

    HELL NO!
    Never understood the appeal or hype here. It’s rather confusing.
    Same with Tom Hiddleston.
    Oh well,strokes and folks…
    However,he is a good actor.

  42. Cookie says:

    He’s grown on me a lot, definitely has a unique appeal and the voice is super sexy.

  43. Janet says:

    OMG – thank you for the photo of them dancing although I only have eyes for BC. If you don’t get it you aren’t paying attention or listening to that dreamy voice.

  44. JenniferJustice says:

    I dont’ get it. What’s the draw? This guy is soooooo homely. He has one of the longest and narrowist faces I’ve ever seen. Completely unattractive.

  45. Dee says:

    Has anyone seen the pap photos of him leaving the Fox party, obvioulsy DUC AND carrying two little white roses?

    • Kelly says:

      Ahahahahhaahha, damn this makes me miss that high feeling of being just the right amount of drunk….

    • Lindy79 says:

      Haha. Id still hit it like a gale force.
      I like to think he had one flower behind each ear while singing along to Kate Bush then removed said flowers as he made his exit.

      Even tipsy he looks great.

    • Roisin says:

      Cute…good for him!! Have fun, Benedict!

    • allheavens says:

      He’s been working straight for almost three years. I’d get blissed, dance with another guy and steal roses from the table floral arrangement too.

      Enjoy your vacation Benenedict!

  46. Siobhan says:

    100% would.
    Fassbender too.
    Same time – well, why not?

    The Bafta Tea Party was on the SATURDAY, not the Sunday.
    BC was not at the Golden Globes only the after party.
    He was called an a**hole by touts on the Saturday (video is horrible and you can clearly see he is p****d off and then he called a woman rude on the Sunday. The Sunday thing annoys me though as he was being photographed by 100s of photographers and there is this one woman taking a photo alongside them. He probably just had enough.

    Love the photo of him leaving the after party on Sunday (apparently one of the last to leave at 3.30am) with a bunch of roses looking like a drunk uncle leaving a wedding….I mean, who doesn’t steal flower arrangements from events. I do!
