Benedict Cumberbatch & Martin Freeman film ‘Sherlock’ in London: squee!!!

Here are some photos of MY (mineminemine) lover Benedict Cumberbatch in London yesterday.

SHERLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*dies*

Yes, he was filming Season 3 of Sherlock. With Martin Freeman (Dr. Watson), and I’m including some cute photos of Freeman too, in case Watson floats your boat (no judgment – CB adores Dr. Watson!). What scene do you think they’re filming? They look pretty happy, so I guess Watson has already found out that his BFF Sherlock is still alive and they’ve probably already explained what happened. I actually published some photos of Cumby as Sherlock last weekend, but these pics are WAY more flattering for my Cumby. He’s so pale and tall. So delicious!!

Apparently, the UK is officially Sherlock-crazy, because whenever Freeman and Cumby show up to some London location, they’re swarmed by fans and any information discovered is posted online. Quite honestly, I want to know what happens next with these characters, but I’m not going to cyber-stalk the set or anything. I’m perfectly happy just seeing photos of Cumby… let’s say, once a week. That will suit me just fine, if he gets pap’d as Sherlock once a week. Good compromise? Sherlock’s producer Sue Vertue actually had to release a statement trying to get the Sherloonies to calm the f—k down – go here to read about that.

PS… DEERSTALKER. Or as Sherlock would say, “It’s an ear-flap hat!”

PPS… Does anyone else enjoy how much Ben and Martin seem to like each other? There’s no boy-drama from what I can see. They genuinely like each other.

    *drawing my shank*

    EsCon – assemble! These pictures are worth taking on Eve for.

    Miss Eyre – start bagging up your old teacakes. We will give them to Boudicca to hurl in her catapult when she runs out of rocks.

    TheyPromisedMeBeer: I promise you beer.

    C&C: mobilize the hedgehog army of doom.

    Allons-y: err, let’s go.

      Achtung! “Shall we begin?”

      Is this the formal kick-off of Cumby Season? I had better start eating right & taking care of my anemia. Sherlock hysteria is going to be followed quite closely by Star Trek Villian mayhem, & then it’s one movie after the next for our Cumby.

      I’m not really looking forward to Cumby going into world domination mode. After he plays a Star Trek villain, everyone is going to know who he is. Poor Cumby can’t even walk down the street as it is—it’s going to get much more intense. It must be very very weird for someone who has been just going along, a regular old actor for years, & then in one year, have streets lined with screaming girls following you on your way to work (I saw a clip of this).

      Uh-oh. I just thought of something. Is Burger King going to have Star Trek action figures? Cringe…..

      On a brighter note, look at his curls!

    • GoodCapon says:

      Hahahaha this thread is gonna be sooo interesting to watch *gets popcorn*

    • allons-y alonso says:

      Hello all 🙂
      T.Fanty – Geronimo!!!!!
      Coming home to pics of The Batch after a hellish shift at work makes me feel better. That overcoat and scarf and scruffy hair…. lust induced nirvana.

    • Eve says:

      @ T.Fanty:

      Find another weapon of choice. Shanks are my specialty.

      @ EsCon:

      I have your name carved on my biggest, sharpest shank!

      @ TheyPromisedBeer:

      I promise you MORE beer. BETTER beer.

      @ Miss Eyre:

      I’ll have your back on Hemsy posts whenever you summon me.

      @ C&C:

      Meh…I don’t fear hedgehogs.

      @ Allons-y alonso:

      Be the nice girl you usually are (meaning: stay out of this) and I promise I will go easy on Hiddleston on the next threads.

      • T.Fanty says:

        Ladies, I am hopping in a cab to Brooklyn. I shall return with Hardy AND the puppy, to be liberally bestowed on those who stay loyal.

        *drops mic*

      • Eve says:

        Jenna Urban, you’ve been summoned!

      • allons-y alonso says:

        hmmmm……. heavily considering taking the deal (I do love me some Hiddleston – all lanky and lovely sly smiles) but i do enjoy a bit of drama here and there. Dare i play with fire, or in this case, shank?

      • Eve says:

        @ Allons-y alonso:

        Girl, you’d better have me on your side.

        Here’s a little treat:

        http://i2.listal.com/image/3676733/600full-tom-hiddleston.jpg

        Look at him on a waistcoat…

      • allons-y alonso says:

        @ Eve: I’m too tired to and too drugged up on cold and flu tablets to battle this one out today. I shall leave with my giant butterfly net thank you and apprehend me a Hiddleston. Girl, you play dirty! I love it! 🙂

        btw @ T.Fanty! I am devastated that Christoper Eccleston will not be appearing on the 50th anniversary episode of Doctor Who. He was my first Doctor!

      • T.Fanty says:

        Allons-y,

        There was no way he would. Didn’t he HATE being the doctor?

        If they wheel out Peter Davidson, the right year old girl in me is going to keel over and die (yeah, I know).

      • Miss M says:

        ***Warning*** –> B*tch mood unleashed!

        @Kaiser: “…MY (mineminemine) lover Benedict Cumberbatch”… Stop trolling!

        @T.Fanty: You better get your hands off my CBman (Tom Hardy).

        @IPromisedYouBeer: I don’t promise, I deliver! What’s your favorite? where do you live?

        @Allons: get better soon!!!

      • allons-y alonso says:

        @T.Fanty – I didn’t think Eccleston would have said yes either…but I still had that smidgen of hope that he’d do it seeing as Russel T. Davies isn’t in the picture.

        @Miss M – thank you kindly!

      • Jenna says:

        @T.Fanty: Gurrrrrl, oh no you DIDN’T just pimp out my ex and a puppy when the ink on my divorce isn’t dry yet! OH HELLS NAH! *gets ghetto and takes off earrings* Let’s do this!

        @Eve: I got you!

      • Eve says:

        @ Jenna:

        FINALLY! It was getting tough…other than you, no one sides with me 🙁 and I really don’t know why…*puts on the cutest long face ever*

      • T.Fanty says:

        @Jenna:

        *gets Essix ghetto and takes off false nails, false eyelashes, hair extenstions and gold uggs*

        bring it, babes!

      • Jenna says:

        @Eve: Well, I was a bit lazy this morning getting up and off to work. I WAS feeling a bit lethargic too until T.Fanty pimped out my ex and now I’m good to go! *rubs vaseline on cheeks*

        And hey, don’t be sad! Didn’t someone else side with you the last time? If not, don’t worry. I’m tall, heavy handed, fight dirty and can shank like no other! 😀

      • Eve says:

        @ Jenna:

        Thanks…*wipes tears, sniffs*

    • ncboudicca says:

      Is he wearing the PURPLE SHIRT OF SEX under that suit????

    • Crumpets and Crotchshots says:

      The hedgehogs are awake, have had their breakfast…. And are getting restless.

      • Marty says:

        I know I’m late to the Cumby party but I will say that after watching some interviews from him, he is extremely charming! Also, he and Tom Hardy were fantastic in Stewart, A Life Backwards.

        No need for a mini shank ladies! I’m not all gone as that!

      • Eve says:

        @ Marty:

        You’d better stay away from my Cumby. Or I’ll start posting nice things about Elsa Pataky (LOL! Like that would EVER happen).

      • Marty says:

        @Eve- I would know the world really is coming to an end if that ever happened! No need for sharp objects, I can admire from afar.

    • j.eyre says:

      I am here and ready to bake! My knitting needles are sharpened and my pockets are stuffed with Dong Sweaters – where should I set my purse?

      ncboudicca has invoke the Purple Shirt of Sex which, by ancient decree, means we must all find and post shots of our suitors with said Shirt. Things will get messy quickly, I fear (hope.)

      As I am sure she is due shortly, may I compliment @Agent MOL on creating Tommyanna’s Spirit Animal so quickly. It’s perfect and I assume he is growing the dragonfly wings as we speak:

      • T.Fanty says:

        Okay, Missy. Prepare. Just be sure to remember which side your crumpet is buttered, okay? I don’t want to be left with the lavender-tinged taste of betrayal in my mouth today.

        P.S. I could totally see Cumby in one of your “insufferably literary” t-shirts. Then, obviously, out of it.

      • j.eyre says:

        “Just be sure to remember which side your crumpet is buttered” – good heavens, woman! This is no time for saucy talk, there is a battle to be waged. I have the Pomeranian-manned half-Citroen chariot warming up out back and one of my nastiest glares chambered. Eve/Jenna want to go all out today, I may just pair that glare with an epic cocked brow!

      • T.Fanty says:

        Huzzah!

        *assumes a Cumby voice* Unleash the hounds.

        I’ll dig out my Beastie Boys cassette. I hope EsCon can stretch out the Vespa wheel covers to Citroen size.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        Jeez. All I have is a jacked-up water-pistol. Yes, it’s a Super Soaker, but still.

        I have sent an e-mail to Lucy Lawless asking if Xena might like to ride back into battle for a very good cause. But her horse, battle dress, swords & accoutrements have all been auctioned off. I hope boudicca is good with that catapult.

        I must add that fighting really isn’t my thing. Because of my ineptitude in battle, which I share with Miss Eyre, I think I had better stay on the Pomeranian War Chariot. The last time I tried to “help” someone in battle, I found myself meandering over to the wrong side & brandishing my sword at my allies. Well, it was loud & confusing out there, damn it, & there was a spider.

      • andrea says:

        Ok, so I’ve learned to stay out of these shankfests, but I just have to say I heart you for posting Tommyanna’s spirit animal, whatever the hell it is.

      • j.eyre says:

        @EsCon – thank goodness you checked in! I had noticed your absence and thought you had taken a hit, which I am sure you have but you sucked it up, dear nun. Yes, the chariot is the place to be right now. Eve and Jenna are positively feral and how in heaven’s name they got Agent MOL, I will never know; now we have shanks AND chemical warfare to contend with?

        I realize this is a silly questions – on many levels – but if our side were to win (stop giggling you three!), how are you all going to divide Cumby? CHemboy is large enough that he can take about 3 women at a time so I have little issue there. And The Mac has the stamina of a racehorse so we just wait patiently. And they are dropping like flies from the Tommyanna train so I just don’t have this problem.

        Either way, Thornfield is at your disposal whenever you all figure out how to get him out of that butterfly net.

      • T.Fanty says:

        The sharing will be easy. EsCon get three days (even though, apparently, I’m going to be the one doing all the fighting here), I’ll get three days, and on Sundays, he can wander in the farm adjacent to Thornfield, wearing his cap and cultivating the sheep to ensure a plentiful supply of sweaters that he shall never be allowed to wear.

        Or he can visit Miss Amelia’s archives, if she is nice.

      • j.eyre says:

        @andrea – the other day, on the Tommyanna “I am not eating” post, we had a bit of a disagreement as to what animal should be paired with Tommyanna (Cumby has the hedgehogs, The Mac has sloths, etc) As we struggled to reach an accord, we enlisted Agent MOL (who conducts most of our experiments around here) to create something that had elements from feral rodents, sassy starfish, lithe seahorses and with the wings of a dragonfly. that night, I came across that link and realized just how amazing Agent MOL was. And laughed myself silly over that link for some time. I am glad you liked it – scone?

        Hey – where’s C&C today? Anyone seen her?

      • T.Fanty says:

        C&C is around. We were chatting on twitter earlier (join us!). I think she’s having a hard time assembling the Hedgehog Army of Doom, which is both wriggly and prickly. She’s covered in bandages.

      • andrea says:

        Miss Eyre… Yes, please, thank you. Now I’m going to just sit here in the corner and watch the shankfest unfold. But if anyone would like to borrow my butterfly knife (it’s scarier than it sounds), let me know.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        Miss Eyre, the division of Cumby will certainly be tricky & complex. We will need a very very good analytical mind to figure it out. We will need Sherlock Holmes.

        I was against him getting all pale & skinny again for Sherlock for just this reason. There obviously isn’t enough of him to go around. Also, those teenage girls & their ovaries are trying to devour him now on the streets of London.

        I just keep thinking how weird it must be to be him, with girls screaming at him like he’s all 4 Beatles rolled into one.

        Has anyone seen the clips of him arriving at the airport in Japan for a Star Trek appearance several months ago? Japan is positively ga-ga over him. There are clips on Youtube that show him in the airport looking dazed & a bit shell-shocked at all the commotion. His expression said “All this for ME?”

        After Star Trek, he may need bodyguards. Ladies, shall we offer him our body-guarding services? We already have the Pomeranians.

        And what’s all this about Eve & Jenna Hardy getting Agent MOL? Damn it, I can’t get a wink of sleep around here.

      • andrea says:

        Oh hey, speaking of… Some new night shots of Cumby as Sherly: http://bit.ly/10Xr0z0

        There’s enough room for one of you to hide in that puffy coat.

      • T.Fanty says:

        @Andrea:

        Actually, the coat’s only puffy because underneath it, I’m wrapped around him, like a little, rabid, ginger koala. And he’s not actually shooting a scene, but trying to hijack someone’s motorbike so that we can make a quick getaway. EsCon started to suspect that I was sneaking in on one of her days, so hid the keys to the Vespa.

      • andrea says:

        T.Fanty, you sneaky minx! I knew it had to be one of you. So I suppose you’re responsible then for those faces he’s making? Tsk tsk. The others won’t appreciate the bite marks.

    • TheyPromisedMeBeer says:

      @ Fanty: Ridiculously late to the game, so sorry. You promise me beer, my boss promises me wages, I’m sure you understand.

      LADIES, I brought coffee, champagne, orange juice, and cake. Also, whiskey and band aids because clearly I missed a HELL of a fight. And clearly everyone jockeying for my services. Where was that when I needed an ego boost a few days ago? ANYWAYS…

      Eve, would you stop thinking about Mrs. Eyre for five minutes, please? It makes blood gush out of her wounds to know that secretly you really DO care (and I know you do – I appreciate you taking one for us and slapping her a bit about Seth McFarlane). Mrs. Eyre, staaaahhhhhp trying to talk to Eve until I get the gauze set, please?

      Fanty, Eve, and Miss M: I would love some beer, if you promise to let me stay neutral. And by stay neutral, I mean can I have the main rights to Richard Armitage? I think he might be the only Englishman who does it for me. I’ll still be here to help clean up though! 😀

      • Eve says:

        @ TheyPromisedMeBeer:

        My dear, Richard Armitage can be ALL yours.

      • j.eyre says:

        I second it. Congratulations Mrs. A. I am afraid your wedding guests will mostly be listing – but we shall be there. (Oh! the gauze matches your wedding costume – dashed clever, PromisedMeArmitageBeer)

        I may, in fact, forgo the hay ride. It’s the bumps, you see.

      • TheyPromisedMeBeer says:

        @ Mrs. Eyre: Oh, I hadn’t planned another wedding. Armitage can join my Side Piece Harem. I thought I’d already made it clear that I’m already happily fantasy married to Luke Bryan, and at the end of the day, he gets exclusive muddin’ rights to my jeep wrangler if you’re picking up what I’m putting down.

        But now that I think about it, I could always use a spouse on the other side of the pond to do the laundry in my swank country cottage, yes?

      • Miss M says:

        @TheyPromisedMeBeer: I have a soft spot for Armitage. That being said, congratulations on your choice!

      • j.eyre says:

        @PromisedMeBeerWithSomeAleOnTheSide:

        Well that clears up a few things. I thought you had your Southern allegiance. For a moment, I was afraid you thought we do not allow American husbands here. We do, I believe Mr. Gosling has been claimed. And of course, Mrs. BradPitt comes a-calling often. Unfortunately, all my Americans are on my $h@mef*ck L!st – I simply must set about to correct that.

        I just looked up your Mr. Bryan – 1000W smile, that one. I imagine he gets away with murder when he flashes one of those.

        Very well, keep your side piece in Britannia. I, of course, am married to my confused, one-handed, blind Rochester until death do us part and I am unflinchingly loyal to him at all times, as any good governess-cum-mistress-of-the-manner would be. But I shall turn my head and tend to my needlework when you and Mr. English Side Piece come to Thornfield.

      • TheyPromisedMeBeer says:

        Daaawww Miss M, you’re so sweet! Don’t worry, I’m not possessive. Just ask nicely and offer some collateral and I’ll happily share if you want some weekend Armitage. 🙂

      • EscapedConvent says:

        @ T.Fanty

        Awww, Fanty. I can’t get irked at a little ginger koala. Just please leave Cumby some strength after you’re finished clinging, because he still has to make his way home later. I’ve had to walk up & down the streets knocking on neighbor’s doors all week looking for him, as he cannot find his way home since filming started. He is so tired from working & shagging, & his poor head aches from all the teenage screaming.

        @theypromisedmebeer,

        I’ve seen some ladies express Armitage-love here several times, but I don’t know if anyone has planted the “This man is mine, bitches” flag on him.

        So—If anyone here has any objection to this Beer/Armitage union….let her speak now.

      • T.Fanty says:

        And that, EsCon, is why I’ll take a shank for you on any day of the week. Your warmth, generosity and delicacy of touch, is like being licked by a tiny, wimpled hedgehog. Or so Cumby tells me.

        ETA: finally googled Richard Armitage, because I kept imagining he was the bloke from the Thorn Birds. He’s quiet lovely – still no idea who he is, though. Beer and Armie have my blessing.

      • TheyPromisedMeBeer says:

        @Fanty: LOL! You’re thinking of Richard Chamberlain. Ooooh Father Ralph.

        @EsCon, Fanty, et all: WOOO! Thanks for the blessings! Now go enjoy the open bar and pecan pie. My treat! Try not to side-eye me too hard tomorrow morning after all the ruckus that’ll be happening in Sherwood Forest tonight. BrownChickenBrownCow!

      • T.Fanty says:

        Oh, he’s in Robin Hood? The only thing I know about that is that my forever dong, and neglected CB husband, Toby Stephens (sigh), plays Prince John in it.

        A party in Sherwood forest sounds fab. Until all the berries and twigs we’ll be eating attract poor, starving Tommyanna who wants us to turn the music down so that he can recite a poem. On the upside, we’ll know to hide when the swarm of dragonflies arrives ahead of him.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        @ Fanty,

        Awww, Fanty…& you as well. As soon as my stitches dissolve (from my last Eve-shanking), I would be honored to take another Eve-shanking if it will protect you & your lanky English hedgehog.

        Richard Armitage is Thorin Oakenshield in the new Hobbit Trilogy, & he is a fine tasty crumpet. Very interesting page on IMDB. I really didn’t know him before the Hobbit. PromisedBeer, you have good taste. 😉

        Also, Miss Eyre does indeed use a computer, but Mr. Rochester has rigged it so she can use her quill pen & ink with it. I only wish we could see her out running in her grey silk gown, bonnet & special marathon slippers.

      • TheyPromisedMeBeer says:

        Fanty – No wonder Toby Stephens mentioned you when I asked about his +1. Look forward to hosting you for sweet and cookies at the cottage, right?

        Oh, I already took care of the Hiddleanna situation – the path leading to the reception arbor is lined with out of place acts from various Shakespeare plays, Loki merchandise, and a few choice buxom brunettes. If he makes it past all of that, he deserves to be fed.

      • Miss M says:

        *MAJOR side-eye back at you, T.Fanty* Well, well, well… Look whos’ making alliances…

        And that, EsCon, is why I’ll take a shank for you on any day of the week. Your warmth, generosity and delicacy of touch, is like being licked by a tiny, wimpled hedgehog.

      • j.eyre says:

        As a buxom brunette – thanks @Promisedbeer! he shall be well tended to.

        @EsCon – where do you keep slipping off to (as if I need to ask) – I can’t seem to keep a hold of you today. Come join me in convalescence, we can compare wounds to see how Eve’s work is improving! Seriously, don’t go away for so long, it makes me do weird things.

        @DocFanty – yes, I have a quill feature. The computer is not its original purpose but it works there as well. I “think” I just followed you on twitter. Lord help me.

        @Agent MOL – darling, you are the dissenter here. this alliance was formed long ago. We ‘thought’ you were one of us. But if Eve blows your skirt up (lord knows she does mine) then, well, there you go.

    Good God I love this man.

  3. Amelia says:

    OMFG I SAW THEM FILMING YESTERDAY AND I ALMOST HAD A TOTAL SPAZ MELTDOWN AND I THINK I’M GOING MAD BECAUSE THIS IS ALL IN CAPITALS.
    *exhales*
    Cup of tea and a scone, anyone?

    • T.Fanty says:

      You did?! Was it insane? It looked like a million teenage girls were there.

    • marie says:

      ha! did you go out of your way to see it or just pass by?

    • Amelia says:

      I’ve got a friend who literally lives right around the corner from Nth Gower Street and I had a birthday cake to deliver so I sort of went with the intention of hopefully seeing a bit of filming 🙂 She’s a massive Sherlock nut anyway and has been staking out Speedy’s cafe for the better part of a week. I bet they’re grateful for the media attention!
      T.Fanty, there were quite a few members of the public milling around behind an unofficial crowd barrier, lots of them teenagers (who were meant to be in school…)
      I had to leave after about half an hour though (for something called ‘work’. Apparently I don’t get time off from the museum archives because of filming. Something that they failed to stipulate in my contract …)
      My pal texted me a couple of hours later, apparently things got massively crowded after a while.
      Anyway, I saw CUMBY. From more than 50 metres away, but still.
      Walked headfirst into a runner as well, the poor kid was very nice about it.

      • T.Fanty says:

        I’m sure he was used to it.

        Actually, I’m a little mad at you for not taking the giant butterfly net and attempting a daring capture – next time, you really ought to put our needs first.

        Is he short? I suspect he lies about his height.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        Amelia! You SAW him! Was there a halo, like the one he has in my head?

      • T.Fanty says:

        EsCon: probably not. Tommyanna made him return it.

      • Amelia says:

        Dreadfully sorry, T.Fanty, I left my butterfly net in my other suit, but I was thinking of saving that for a sneak attack on Tommyanna whilst he frolics amongst the dragonflies. He’ll be weakened by this week’s Live Below the Line efforts. One minute I’ll be disguised as Bambi then BAM!
        Decorative Hiddleston captured.
        He seemed tall enough from where I was standing, not Skasgard Viking Tall but I’d guess a comfortable 6 foot.
        I think he had to put for halo away for filming Escon, the BBC don’t want to blind their viewers 😉
        I will say this – he and Martin look adorable together. Just awesome. I swear, they were this close to holding hands and skipping down the street.
        EDIT: I just realised, does all of the above mean Eve is going to get stabby with me? Because if so, I’d like to request that there is no pink at my funeral and if you could pass a message onto Cumby for me about our lunchtime tryst that would be much appreciated 🙂

      • EscapedConvent says:

        @Amelia,

        It’s very clear-headed of you to make funeral plans. We should all start thinking about eternity with Eve running amok.

        Yes, of course pink will be forbidden, if that is your wish. But will it be all right if Pink comes to your memorial service?

      • Eve says:

        @ Amelia:

        “I just realised, does all of the above mean Eve is going to get stabby with me?”

        Is that a rhetorical question?

        YES! That means I’m going stabby with you.

        And I WILL wear pink at your funeral…and bring pink flower arrrangements, and the band — lead by PINK! — will be completely dressed in the pinkest pink that has ever existed!

        MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

      • Amelia says:

        Ta very much, Escon. I can definitely work with Pink being at the memorial, if you could get her to sing F*cking Perfect that would be a lovely way to go out 🙂
        Well ladies, there’s an 18th century compass that’s begging for my attention this afternoon and I think my boss wants to dress up as Captain Jack Sparrow judging by how eager he is to get it finished with.
        So, Eve; if the great Batch happens to wander in this afternoon (why he’d be down in archives I’ve no idea, but anyway) I’ll point him in your direction 🙂
        After we’ve done the nasty behind a mountain of silk tapestries.
        Obviously.
        Peace out.
        EDIT: Eve, I just saw your edit. Being slutshanked to death over the sexiest alien in the multiverse? Yeah. I can handle it. You’re a formidable shanker.
        But PINK?
        Oh, IT’S ON.
        I’m in the same city as him, remember?! *cackles maniacally*
        I will have my wicked way with him . . . After I’ve finished documenting this damn compass.
        F*ck’s sake, boss. Screw your antiquities, there’s aliens to be fought over here!
        Final note: I’m starting to feel bad for our little Hobbit Martin. He’s getting left out in all of this! I think I’ll have to take him a batch of scones.

      • Eve says:

        @ Amelia:

        You’re fine with PINK! singing at your funeral? Well, then I shall hire Taylor Swift instead — that’s right, dressed in pink.

      • Amelia says:

        If Taylor Swift comes within 100 miles of my funeral, then so help me God I will come back from the dead and shank her myself if she starts wailing.
        Now, compasses, compasses …

      • T.Fanty says:

        @Amelia: the pointy bit goes north. You’re welcome. Now get out there and get some Cumby. I have your back covered. I’m using the bayonet I stole from Christopher Tiejens.

      • Eve says:

        @ Amelia:

        Well…you brought that upon yourself.

        Taylor Swift and her guitar, introducing her song by talking about this girl she met, Amelia, who she’s NEVER EVER EVER getting to see again.

      • j.eyre says:

        Amelia – I don’t understand – why would you leave the house without a butterfly net – ever? Don’t worry about your lower extremities, you have the Impenetrable Tights of Death I sent last week, yes? Keep those in a separate drawer, dear, those are NOT date tights.

        That said, Eve will definitely do some damage so one should be practical…

        Eve – if you are wearing pink, I am going to have to rethink my outfit. I guess I will just wear CHemboy.

        Why, in heavens name, did we need to bring Swifty into this?

      • Eve says:

        @ J.Eyre:

        “Why, in heavens name, did we need to bring Swifty into this?”

        Because I play dirty, that’s why!

        And I can make it worse.

      • j.eyre says:

        @Eve

        “Because I play dirty, that’s why!

        And I can make it worse. ”

        So can I, m’dear. I have just informed Remora that Swifty is THE next big thing. I have forged Marvel contracts for the next 4 franchises and 217 films and shown Remora that Swifty’s signature is on the bottom of all of them. I also included a “wife clause” that ensures full media coverage of every move made ever. Thus Remora has filed for divorce from CHemboy and she and Swifty shall be married on what was supposed to be Miley’s wedding date. Swifty is far too busy writing ballads of true bliss (and a few “Oh-my-gosh-you-nasty-bitch-you-were-just-using-me-how-ironic” tunes just in case.) She will be far too busy to perform at anyone’s funeral. And if she does – Remora will be latched to her side – in the same pink dress as you.

      • Amelia says:

        Bloody hell! I’m away for two hours and we’ve already hit 100 Cumby posts? Brava, bitches, well done!
        Thanks for the cover T.Fanty, I’ll keep guard whilst you and Tiejens have rampant train sex once Sherlock and I have explored the deepest, darkest depths of these archives (giggity).
        J.Eyre, at my funeral I fully expect you to be carried in by CHemboy’s giant arms in full 19th Century mourning regalia after a vicious fainting spell. Just so y’know 🙂
        I will be taking notes from the afterlife . . .
        Stupid question, I know, but what the hell could be worse than Swifty? If that lunatic MeAnn gets dragged into this then I’m resurrecting a zombie army.
        You have been warned.

      • Eve says:

        @ J.Eyre:

        That is your idea of a bad scenario? I couldn’t care less if Switfy hooked up with Remora. I actually like that.

        And yes, put me close to Remora’s face: that’s exactly the opportunity I’ve been waiting for.

      • Ponytail says:

        I’m temping IN Gower Street at the mo but have yet to see any filming, probably because, you know, I’m supposed to be working. I do walk past the cafe every opportunity I get but my teen screaming days are long behind me, so I’d probably just scuttle past anyway.

      • T.Fanty says:

        Oh my, Miss M! You are feeling feisty today. Have you been hanging out with Eve?

      • Miss M says:

        @T.Fanty: Not only that (Hanging out with Eve)… I’ve been working with phenol chloroform this morning and the smell is not pleasant… On top of that, we have Kaiser trolling saying Cumby is hers… Please! 🙂

        For a better day:

      • T.Fanty says:

        Oh, Miss M. I shall taxi him up to you, puppy and all. That really is an adorable pic. But you have to promise to let me borrow the puppy in case one of Miss Eyre’s Pomeranians goes down in today’s fray.

      • Eve says:

        @ Miss M:

        Right? I’ve posted the “mine mine mine” (bold, and on capital letters) thing at least TWICE here.

      • Miss M says:

        @T.Fanty: Thank you!!! 🙂 I promise you to give any puppy Tom Hardy touches, mainly the puppy movie star. There are other adorable pics of Tom and his son on his instagram. The kid is probably 5 now. Oh, he also posted a video rapping for his baby one time. Awwww

        @Eve: yeah! I see what she’s been doing lately… The good thing about the Hiddlesloonies (aka Hiddlestoners) as they may be so crazy, they keep Kaiser in check. Hahaha… She better not start this “Mine Mine Mine” with Hardy.

      • Marty says:

        @Miss M- I hate to bring down the party, but that Tom Hardy instagram account was proved to be fake.

      • Miss M says:

        @Marty: Thanks for the info!! But I just went there to see the photos. Let’s face it, there are good photos there, 🙂

        ps: I think I saw the video somewhere else, not there.

      • j.eyre says:

        Ye gads, @Agent MOL – Hardy looks exactly like the Heir’s godfather in that photo.

      • Marty says:

        God yes! Is there anything better than a Tom Hardy selfie?

      • Miss M says:

        @Marty hardy: hold your horses! Too much enthusiasm may cause some shanking in your direction…

        @j.eyre: highly interested in that info…is The heir’s godfather single?

      • j.eyre says:

        Confirmed bachelor, rich, successful and with the morals of a tomcat – no pun intended. I will be seeing him over Christmas – shall I pass him your number?

        Did I mention the Scottish accent?

      • Miss M says:

        @j.eyre: The Hardy looks and the Scottish accent are enough… May I ask how old he is? I guess you can send him my way –> MA 🙂

        ps: *thinking if I should write down my number*

      • j.eyre says:

        He turned 40 last year. He is in England and we like to meet in NYC as a halfway for us so MA is not out of the question. He has a current but, even though I like her much, he cycles through them like you would not believe so I can’t get too attached.

        He loves Vegas.

        Hold your number for now. When I get ready to head over the Pond in Dec, I will let you know forwarding status at that time.

      • Miss M says:

        @j.eyre: I’m sure he is a great guy, but Vegas?! cycling through them? Miss j.eyre, I don’t think it’s good idea. Well, we can certainly be introduced, of course…but, I don’t want complications in life. I finally got over my George Clooney crush not long ago, :).

        It will be lovely to meet you, and I owe T.Fanty a visit as well. You are always welcomed to MA! By the way, i discovered yesterday that I am practically neighbors with crumpets&crotchshots (Miss J.).

        Good morning Miss Eyre!
        You are such a dear, thank you for asking. I’m feeling much better. The worst is over, I’m just very tired now.
        I already had today off, from the overtime I put in last week, so I’m just enjoying being in my pj’s & getting some things done, slowly, around the house.
        Plus, there is a raging snowstorm outside now! In April. Unbelievable.
        How are you? And the Heiress?

      You’re going to have to get some sharper tools Eve, Star Trek hasn’t even come out yet! He’s all menacing and muscular in that, you will have your work “cut” out for you, hahaha.

      • Eve says:

        Yeah — it’s going to be a nightmare after Star Trek opens…

        I was enjoying the “exclusiveness” factor about Cumberbatch so much! The “I don’t get it”, the “Ewwww, he looks like a lizard!”…*sigh*

      • EscapedConvent says:

        I look back fondly on the “exclusiveness of Cumby-Love” too. When I fell for him truly madly deeply a year ago January, I was spending most of my time on CB defending him from people who called him an “inbred earth-worm” & said that they would only “hit it” with a cricket bat.

        Sigh….sometimes I long for those halcyon days when Cumby was a worm. Just a couple of weeks ago, though, there ws a slow day here on CB, & some bitch (I don’t know who) said that Cumby’s closest relatives were all crawling around a terrarium at a conservatory. I was horrified.

        You’re both sooooo dead!

        And Ladylupton? Swifty will sing at your funeral too.

  10. MonicaQ says:

    After being on tumblr, Sherlock and the Supernatural just immediately trigger, “YOU IN DANGER GIRL” in my brain LOL. Don’t know why. Maybe the fans on tumblr are more than a little insane? That’ll do it.

    Holeeeee hell, say you don’t think the man is fine and you just better start a new blog because it will get spammed like no other. This did not happen to me, only saw it flying by on my dashboard. He’s not “ZOMG HAWT” but if you’re into that, his face could grow on you. I guess? Nice hair though.

    • EscapedConvent says:

      Dear MonicaQ,

      It seems that you have not yet had your “ovaries destroyed”, or your “life ruined” by the Cumberbatch. That’s how the Tumblr-nuts describe their impairments. 😉

      • T.Fanty says:

        *eyeroll*

        I don’t get the ovaries thing. Mostly because mine are knackered. If I’m re-activating those bitches for Cumby, I’m doing him the favor, not the other way around.

      • Eve says:

        Count me among those who don’t get the exploding ovaries thing.

        First, it looks painful. Second, how would I be able to help him with his alien invasion without my ovaries?

      • MonicaQ says:

        And how much percentage one is done and how much they cannot 😉 It’s like a social experiment, like watching the Mishapocalypse on April Fools Day. No matter what you look like, there is a tumblr community that thinks you’re hot! (I’m there for sports, video games, and Dr. Who but it’s always great to follow mixed blogs)

      • T.Fanty says:

        There’s more to tumblr than Cumby and TommyAnna? Who knew?!

      • Lauli says:

        “Ovaries destroyed and life ruined”. Lol
        Teenagers are nuts! Lol

      • Miss M says:

        @EsCon, Eve, T.Fanty et al.: I don’t get the ovaries exploded either… Argh, teenagers… Can I quote Christina Yang from Grey’s anatomy? “I hate teenager girls when I was a teenager girl”.

  11. Victoria says:

    YUM MEEEEEEEE!!!! giddy up

  12. EscapedConvent says:

    Cumberbatch & Freeman like each other? But of course they do. According to Tumblr, these two dudes are madly in love. With each other.

    I caution you all not to stumble across the “John-Lock” erotic illustrations that pepper the Tumblr landscape. Or the drawings of Sherlock & John depicted as toddlers, laughing & skipping down the street together.

    *Shhh*–I’ve already said too much….

    • T.Fanty says:

      I’m so afraid to read those things. I fear that when I do, my name shall be publicly posted on a billboard of shame in Times Square. Or something.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        Fanty, I expect Cumby is aware of some of the nuttier stuff on Tumblr. It would be entertaining to see his & Freeman’s rections to things like….portraits of what Sherlock & John’s love-child would look like.

        It would be pretty weird to have complete strangers putting together daily outfits for you on their blogs. Sometimes I look at them & just shake my head at the screen. How could anyone possibly think that yellow is his color?! 😉

        Oh, almost forgot—they send him clothes too, & stripey socks, & he wears them. Awwww….

      • Eve says:

        Honestly, I’m almost certain he doesn’t like it…just like he doesn’t like the Twitter attention:

        http://25.media.tumblr.com/d700eb03829426304bcb10fe618bad27/tumblr_ml3e5xq53X1qdojd4o10_1280.jpg

      • T.Fanty says:

        I definitely think the lunatic fan thing is losing its charm to Cumby. I can understand why.

        (Can you believe I just wrote that without a trace of irony?)

      • Eve says:

        @ T.Fanty:

        Yes, I can.

        That’s the reason why our love for him grows whereas the one we once had for a certain British actor has been waning.

      • T.Fanty says:

        Poor Cumby. His fall from CB grace will be ugly. The tide is also starting to turn on Fassbender, no?

      • Eve says:

        He’ll fall into my open arms…

        As for Fassbender, I don’t think he was ever that popular.

      • T.Fanty says:

        @ Eve: maybe we need to start posting some of his interviews, to thin the herd a little.

      • Eve says:

        @ T.Fanty:

        I’d love that (to thin the herd). But I’m afraid posting his interviews won’t work out anymore…:(

        You see, Cumberbatch had a bad start here (I remember!). Most were outraged by his remarks and thought he was up his own ass. Then they slowly started paying attention to how cleverly he unleashed his bitcheness.

        So…they already know he’s a judgemental bitch. They’re loving him IN SPITE of that (or maybe even because of that…).

        We need another one of those big, foot-in-the-mouth interviews soon (along with some backpedalling).

      • T.Fanty says:

        It’s coming. I think he’s building up to say something *really* obnoxious about twitter. He can’t contain his inner-bitch for this long without something really fantastically bad spewing out at the sides.

      • Eve says:

        *crosses fingers*

        I hope you’re right.

        But since I already LOATHE celebrities who overshare on Twitter…I (and probably many others) will likely agree with whatever he says — and the bitchier it is, the better.

        Oh, my Leonard Cohen, he looks like a cat here (and I’m a cat person!):

        http://24.media.tumblr.com/bcf06a8d9428c96f328e13db75868c8d/tumblr_ml2dl17xYQ1qdojd4o2_1280.jpg

        This man is NOT playing fair with me.

      • Mairead says:

        I hope so, that just means making sure Eve keeps her place in line for the Cumbersnatch :-p and fisticuffs at dawn with my work colleague for the Fassbender (although I recently got clever with her and introduced her to the Gallic handsomeness that is Chef Ludo Leverbe and the Colombian singer Juanes to distract her) 😈

      • T.Fanty says:

        @ Miss M and @ Eve,

        Firstly, MAJOR side eye to this whole alliance.

        Secondly, is this when Hardy was on the drugs? Because it kind of seems that way.

        Thirdly, they have a certain (ahem) chemistry going on there. If the bi rumors are true, then this is a little thing I could quite easily envision. And to be honest, quite happily envision.

      • Eve says:

        “Firstly, MAJOR side eye to this whole alliance.”

        Eat your heart out.

        “Secondly, is this when Hardy was on the drugs? Because it kind of seems that way”

        That video is from Stuart: A Life Backwards behind the scenes. Hardy is still in character (a drug addict).

        “Thirdly, they have a certain (ahem) chemistry going on there. If the bi rumors are true, then this is a little thing I could quite easily envision. And to be honest, quite happily envision.”

        Ha! Me too.

      • Miss M says:

        @T.Fanty: “Firstly, MAJOR side eye to this whole alliance.” Get over it! You can blame on Tommyanna and his Hloonies, 🙂
        ” Thirdly, they have a certain (ahem) chemistry going on there. If the bi rumors are true, then this is a little thing I could quite easily envision.” I’m not into menage, but I already mentioned my happy triangle (Tom Hardy, Hiddles and me). I certainly can switch Hiddles and add someone else. Sorry Eve, I cannot resist Cumby as Sherlock… *runs for her life*

      • Eve says:

        @ Miss M:

        WHAT THE WHAT???

        Yes, you can (resist him)!

      • T.Fanty says:

        @ Miss M:

        I’ll do a part-exchange with you, one day a week. We can bounce the Hardy-Cumby combo between the two of us – I’ll keep the Sherlock hair dye for your scheduled days. Tommyanna can wait in the corner and serve us cheap snacks when we need replenishment.

      • Miss M says:

        @T.Fanty: Deal! Hardy-Cumby combo yummy!

    • j.eyre says:

      I will catch up on those as soon as I finish with the Hiddlesworth bits.

      • T.Fanty says:

        @ Miss Eyre: are you back on the Hiddles bandwagon? Is all of his posting of his sad little dinners merely an expression of longing for your toasted biscuit(s)?

      • j.eyre says:

        I am on Tommyanna occasionally, yes. Remora keeps making CHemboy grocery shopping and then there’s Myr Kiki who keeps whisking him away to parts unknown.

        A girl gets bored, you know?

      • T.Fanty says:

        Actually, I don’t. I’m not allowed to be bored. Cumby frowns on boredom – he says it’s the product of inferior breeding and drags me off to the Tate for a lecture, after which, we usually have to go and stand in a meadow and pass judgement on hedgehogs for a while. It’s not all Sherlock hair and spankings, unfortunately.

      • j.eyre says:

        My, yes, that does sound exhausting. All I have to do all day, when my boys are out is deep throat a few cucumbers to stay in practice.

      • T.Fanty says:

        I’m not entirely sure how to respond to that. No wonder TommyAnna’s dragonfly can’t quit you.

      • j.eyre says:

        And I am not sure where the right place to put this comment is but here looks good (I need to give it to Myr. Kiki, if she ever catches up on work).

        Yesterday, my editor and I were in the quagmire that is the shop and we were both getting loopy. She called upon my cat (whose name is Loki) which led to Thor which led to CHemboy and it turns out, she’s all hot and bothered for him too. During the course of several emails that got progressively more distasteful, my editor said:

        “I kind of lost track of the rest of the dialogue in The Avengers after he (CHemboy) said ‘What are you asking me to do.'”

        I can’t stop hearing him ask me that now… and OMFG do I have a long list of replies.

      • T.Fanty says:

        I’m assuming that the list comes complete with several diagrams, an occasional how-to video, and a long shopping list that ranges from fresh produce to hardware tools.

      • j.eyre says:

        GAH! Tools – that’s what I forgot today! well, the cucumbers will have to satisfy themselves tomorrow, I have to go back out.

        I meant to say somewhere here (lord knows where it is) that I have no personal twitter. We have one for the business but I am fairly certain Mr. Rochester would not want me discussing dong sweater in between game launches.

        I might be cajoled to start one just for our little party here. But no one can get mad at me if I forget to check it. There is only so much I can remember to do.

        Oh heavens – ANOTHER pseudonym? I am going to need a spreadsheet for all my identities.

      • T.Fanty says:

        Please join us! Although I don’t like the thought of you in modern dress, so please keep your pseudonym appropriate. If I ever confront the real you without a bonnet and a blind cripple by your side, I’m pretty sure my center cannot hold. In my head, you sit in a sunny, Californian kitchen in your best grey silk and bonnet, knitting. I struggle to imagine you even on a computer, which, given the context, might be a little weird of me.

      • j. eyre says:

        Crap. I was thinking Lady DeWinter, Lady Macbeth or Original Trixie. Definitely not bonnet wearing. I guess I should go with Naomi. She’s French so she might wear a bonnet for you. She definitely has the corset.

  13. Lemony says:

    I’m just here to pay Cumby a compliment…not trying to steal him (Ladies, you all know who my CB husband is) and there is no way I could handle a shank wound right now as I’m not quite recovered from the flu.
    He looks awesome in his Sherlock clothes! I’d hit it, but in a super-respectful way. Like, I respect you for looking so distinguished, sir, therefore I will bang you.
    That’s all. *shuffles back to bed*
    PS-his haircolor is throwing me off. That is my mother’s “winter haircolor” so I won’t try to steal him from anybody with that look.

    • j.eyre says:

      Actually no, I am far too selfish to remember facts that don’t involve me. Who is your betrothed? I know it’s not me as I would have remembered that, you see.

      • Lemony says:

        Hee hee. Well that would be Hiddles, darling.
        My first betrothed was Hugh Jackman, but ever since Deb hit her sexual prime (and no signs of slowing down yet, that tigress) she keeps him awfully busy & he just hasn’t got the time for me anymore.

      It’s amazing to me how Cumberbatch’s hotness quotient goes through the roof when he has dark hair. When he’s ginger (Parade’s End; Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy) or blond (the Assange film UGH) he becomes either weird-looking or horribly plain. But give him dark hair (Sherlock, Star Trek Into Darkness) and he’s unbelievably attractive.

      It’s sort of like Seinfeld’s ugly/pretty girlfriend, actually.

    • Dani says:

      I find him attractive regardless, although he’s more…sexy? with dark hair. But I’m totally aware of how the hair color makes some not find him attractive.

  16. El Kiddo says:

    Ugh, I don’t see the appeal. He is just plain ugly. *Cowers behind a sofa*

    • BooBooLaRue says:

      That’s okay, actually I encourage this, more for the rest of us.

    • Eve says:

      I actually love that! 😀

      Keep finding him ugly. It’s one less for me to shank.

      • Lemony says:

        @ Eve:
        Just curious, dear, how to you sustain your shanking energy? Much respect.
        I’m trying to drum up energy to do some laundry for the first time all week & let’s just say all I’ve done so far today is drink coffee.
        In my defense I’m getting over the flu & a lack of sleep.
        But damn, girl, you are getting it DONE today. 🙂

      • Eve says:

        Nothing but the hatred for these cheeky, grabby bitches. That is what sustains me.

        But a nice, hot latte helps, too :D.

      • Lemony says:

        Can you bottle some of your hatred tonic & send it my way?
        I’d taken a trial separation from my Hiddles over the “Tumblr issues” (thanks for the heads up, by the way)
        He’s been begging me to come back, says his behavior has changed, and that he really misses my cooking. His Live Below the Line project was just a cover for not getting his daily smoothie prepared by yours truly. He’s malnourished & vulnerable now, so this is the best time for us to renegotiate my “terms”.
        Good luck out there!

      • Eve says:

        I can! But it’ll work better if you do like this: whenever you see a REALLY bitchy post by me, get closer to your monitor and inhale deeply (you may get a little high at first — but you’ll soon be ready to shank every bitch who tries to snatch your Drangonfly-Twitter-Man).

  17. princesslizabeth says:

    YAY! Woohoo!! Sherlock!! Cumby!! YAYYYYYYYY!

    (Faints to floor in fit of extreme happiness)

  18. BooBooLaRue says:

    Crikey! I am in love all over again! And Martin Freeman too.

  19. alison8761 says:

    they both look so damn good it’s insane. I love them both but I’m usually pretty fair about their… unconventional looks, but their hair, make-up, and lighting is on point. Maybe I’ve just missed this! but no, they both look really nice.

  20. Jenna says:

    Yay! Can’t wait for the new season! So happy! 😀

  21. lmo says:

    I’m an uber lurker here @ CB. But I must say the BC love/stalking warms my heart. That man is wonderfully strange looking and these posts make me want to throw my shank into the fray. I however suspect that I would be quickly outnumbered and killed so I’ll just drool silently from a distance.

    • EscapedConvent says:

      As someone who has survived a shanking, may I just say:

      Sometimes Eve lets you live.

  22. ems says:

    MY TIM! MY TIM!

  23. mrs.c says:

    So …. I just discovered that this existed.

    http://www.amazon.com/Casanova/dp/B000EISVRM

    Thought my fellow cumby-lovers might appreciate it too! 5 whole hours of that voice … *drooool*

    • Eve says:

      You had to share that, didn’t you? *HUMPF*

    • Lauli says:

      Thanks. (Sorry, Eve)

    • Mairead says:

      ZOMG! I never watched so I had no idea! *fans self*

      • Eve says:

        Et tu, Brute?

      • Mairead says:

        Vene, vidi, vici baby!

      • Eve says:

        No way, your cumber-loving has been inactive for more than 2 years! And considering this is the internet — that’s about 20 years in real life.

        It’s *MY* Cumberbatch.

      • Mairead says:

        LIES! SUBTERFUGE!!!

        Although I no longer practically live on Celebitchy, my ardour has only become more ardent!

      • Eve says:

        Oh, come on now…just accept your defeat gracefully :mrgreen:

      • j.eyre says:

        Lies @Eve! You were battling me for Tommyanna back when you were married to Captain Sexy and I have only been “out” for a year. I watched the whole courtship with you and Cumby, slow and cautious at first, a side-piece and nothing definitive until Minka Kelly forced you to dump the Captain once and for all.

        And even then your marriage to Cumby was rocked by your realization that you SHOULD be with Bana instead. Cumby would be right to have at it with some of these other girls – remind you of your faltering.

        (sorry about the yelling on “should” but I cannot make my comments have italics and bold like you can, clever gibbon.)

      • Eve says:

        HOW. DARE. YOU!

        I have always been honest about my CB husbands (former and current) and occasional lovers.

        You don’t deserve that (because you called me a liar) but I’m such a wonderful human being I’m going to teach you. It’s rather simple: it’s the word “strong” before the word you want to highlight and “/strong” after, with that bar to close the tag. The word “strong” must be between those side arrows both times.

        If that still doesn’t help, you can check this page:

      • j.eyre says:

        *sniff* why Eve, how positively decent of you. Please excuse my horrid comments above, I don’t know what happened – it must be the flush of battle. I am ever so sorry.

        What? Why yes, I would love a brigadeiro, how absolutely divine! I think I will select this one right he…

        Oh, I see what you did there. You brought me in close and then put a shank in my side. Darnit! Where’s my sewing kit. Yes, yes I will clean up the blood once I stop it from pouring out of my ribcage.

      • j.eyre says:

        @Eve – you know what really sucks – I misread your comment. I thought you said you had been in love with Cumby for two years so in addition to everything else, you are right.

        Crap, this wound is going to give CHemboy the ammunition he needs to have me on top tonight. Maybe I’ll bunk at Tommyanna’s this evening – he’s so lightheaded I can convince him to do anything.

      • Eve says:

        Yup, you totally misread it: I said Mairead’s love for Cumby had been inactive for more than 2 years, not that I had claimed Cumberbatch as my CB husband for that period.

        It’s too late for an apology though.

        *crosses arms* HUMPF!

        *looks at J. Eyre again over shoulder* HUMPF!

      • Eve says:

        Oh, and today I found this (below) and thought of you but after your comments above you’re not allowed to click on the link anymore:

        http://mynewplaidpants.blogspot.com.br/2013/04/good-morning-mcavoy.html

        NOT. ALLOWED. Do you hear me?

      • j.eyre says:

        Oh no – I absolutely won’t. I wouldn’t dream of… sorry… I would never go against… uhm *whew*… just having trouble breathing…

        I have no idea what is in those links but when they announced he was in Filth, I reread the book with him in mind. I have never needed so many kinds of showers in my life… one blistering hot to shake the the book and a cold one to, well – really?

        And you think of me on occasion *blink, blink*? Why Eve, your making blood gush out of my gaping wound all over again…

  24. GeeMoney says:

    Love that man. Can’t wait for Star Trek!

  25. Jenna68 says:

    Am I the only one who finds Rupert Graves (Lestrade) very attractive?

  26. Lindy79 says:

    Martin Freeman is painfully aware of the John-Lock thing (I really don’t get it, it’s just bloody weird, same as with Thor and Loki, they are meant to be brothers :/)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1kdZWKEo6g

  27. Reece says:

    I just want to hug them both! (not a euphemism) Cannot wait for this to come back & Star Trek & DoS!

  28. Mairead says:

    MINE! 👿

  29. GoodCapon says:

    I’m just popping back in to say that while he’s not my type and I do not find him attractive at all, he looks really good in these photos! He pulls off that lovely scarf+coat combination.

  30. TheyPromisedMeBeer says:

    @Mrs. Eyre: why are the Americans on your shamef*ck list? Just curious. It wasn’t that i didn’t think yall allowed American husbands here, I just figured yall were just obsessed with the British boys (and there is nothing wrong with that, just not my taste really). I was very recently introduced to Mr. Armitage, and YOWZA he hit me right off the bat so I’ll plant my flag on his turf while the getting is still good. Meanwhile, your hubs might have one hand and be blind, but he’s got a cracking good sense of humor and you know you’ve earned his respect and affection, so don’t be down about the guy. 😛

    Oh, but here, let me be a naughty minx help you along on Mr. Bryan – just look up “You Make Me Want To” on youtube. Any of his live versions will do. So sexy! Is it any wonder that he is my forever dong?

    • Eve says:

      I think she meant the Americans to whom (to who?) she’s attracted just happen to be well-known jerks. It’s just a coincidence, not that they’re shamef*cks because they’re Americans.

      For instance: she admitted (not long ago) Seth MacFarlane was one of her shamef*cks.

      SETH. MACFARLANE.

      This man:

      http://media.hollyscoop.com/sites/hollyscoop.com/files/styles/main_pic/public/story/Seth_McFarlane_wenn2662221_0.jpg

      Nothing, I repeat, NOTHING can be more shameful than that.

      • j.eyre says:

        Perhaps you don’t know the depths to which I will drop…

        Seth, yes. Among some of his fellow shamers:
        Billy Bob Thorton
        Russel Crowe
        Zac Efron (oh, I know I can be arrested)

        oh – how the list goes on – various musicians and D-grade celebrities… anyone with a decent scotch to offer.

        But the king of my $h@me list?
        TOM CRUISE

      • Miss M says:

        @Tom Cruise beats Seth for sure. But in j.eyre’s defense… I think of Tom Cruise from top gun and cocktail, a few good men, Jerry Maguire… that Tom Cruise, you know?

        ps: But Tom Cruise is still handsome and pushing 50…
        pps: Hopefully bedhead doesn’t read this, j.eyre.

      • Eve says:

        Nope. MacFARTlane is still the worst.

        Shame on you! SHAME ON YOU!

        Seriously, I can’t even look at you anymore.

      • Miss M says:

        It’s called shamef*ck list for a reason, Eve! :). Don’t let her feel more ashamed. You go, j.eyre!

        ps: don’t be surprised if I get G.Butler back on my shamef*ck list…

      • EscapedConvent says:

        –Buuut….Russell Crowe is a perfectly reasonable shamef*ck.

        –I recently confessed my hots for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who although technically legal & in his thirties, still seems so young.

        –Jane! Tom Cruise?!

      • j. eyre says:

        @Agent MOL – oh good gravy – Tommy Mapother in uniform? Get my smelling salts!

        What’s up with Bedhead? Does she love or hate
        him? I get very nervous running afoul of the Tribunal. (Oh, and I love men in turtlenecks. Should I hide?)

        @Eve – yes you can – you can look. You know you want to. Honestly, if a man (or woman for that matter) can dance, sing and make me laugh – it’s like saying “open says me” to my legs.

      • T.Fanty says:

        Cocktail Tom Cruise would have been totally worth hitting. I’d hit that out of nostalgia, too.

        Same with Russell Crowe. Who wouldn’t still do a man once known as Maximus.

        But as far as Billy Bob goes… I’d suggest calling in PromisedMeBeer for a back up there. I think she’s your best bet.

      • TheyPromisedMeBeer says:

        Ladies! Let’s not snipe right now! We’re here to celebrate my joyous union to the delightful Armitage. And both of you are starting to spill your whiskey sours with your passionate gesticulating. Keep it up, and I’m converting from and open bar to (gasp!) cash only. Don’t think I wont!

        @Mrs. Eyre – I can’t see Seth MacFarlane at ALL, but I understand we all need a “hit it and quit it”. Tom Cruise, though? Two words: TOP. GUN. Always and forever. And yes, I can see Billy Bob Thornton. He’s got some swagger. I’d hit it, if he promised to wear his costume from Bad Santa. So there. Hold your head up and own your list!

        (If it makes you feel better, for the longest time, my shamef*ck was Bam Margera. Not anymore, but he made me laugh! Rascals are my weakness!)

      • Eve says:

        @ J.Eyre:

        But you did read the quotes I posted on those Theron/Macfarlane threads, right? And yet you’d still hit it…

        I can’t look at you anymore — the good news is that that’ll make it harder for me to shank you.

        By the way, Hiddleanna’s crotch says hello (and I shall say goodbye now):

      • EscapedConvent says:

        @Fanty again,

        Did you say dimpled hedgehog or wimpled hedgehog? I’m in a dither trying to find the comment.

        Eeek! Power outage for a few minutes—the very moment I typed the word “wimpled.”

        Is there any question now, that the Wimpled Nuns at my former convent are reaching out to me, grasping my tattered soul around its throat, trying to tie my wimple back on?

        And what do you think my chances would be with that paragraph in the next Bulwer-Lytton competition?

      • Miss M says:

        @ThePromisedMeBeer: Cheers! Great choice! I promise I won’t drool while watching him again in “North & South”.

      • j.eyre says:

        @EsCon – Wimpled Nuns and Bulwer-Lytton in the same sentence? It will be a dark and stormy night for certain.

        Seriously, where are my smelling salts?

      • Lemony says:

        @Miss Eyre:
        Dear, I hadn’t realized you were posting your shamef*ck list tonight.
        We have one man in common from my list:
        Russel Crowe
        Usher
        JC Chasez from NSync
        Gerard Butler
        Bradley Cooper
        The last one is recent & all due to a CB thread last week …someone posted a link to a photo of him with a perm for a new movie role. Then he visited me in my dreams that very night & I’ve been in an embarassed daze ever since *shudders*

      • Miss M says:

        @j.eyre: I don’t think bedhead likes him.

        She had enough of his scientoloko manners.
        Go read her posts about him.

      • j.eyre says:

        @Lemony – wait, Usher is on the $h@me list? Why? He is always a maybe for me (I get faint when he takes his shirt off.) Should I move him over?

        @Agent MOL – ah, well then. I shall steer clear. He generally is put to uses that does not allow him to spout CO$ bs when he is ‘visiting.’ I don’t have time for that nonsense.

      • Lemony says:

        @Jane: Usher’s on the list, not because of his sexy bod or singing ability, but because of the cheese factor. He usues auto tune on his new albums & whoever gives him gimmicky career advice just sucks. Evidently he’s been involved in Justin Bieber’s career.
        His body is a YES though.
