Christ on a cracker, are these people for real??? I despair.

BTW, we don't do spoilers for TV shows so no need to hide comments.

Can anyone link to some of the crazy? I want to laugh and be horrified at the same time.

Coffeecakes-- go to celebitchy and look for any comment about BC and SH by "Nic" "MissMary" and "Lindy79". They have been convinced from the beginning that this is a sham of epic proportions, and that Benedict has become a hypocrite for claiming to be private, while conducting his relationship with Sophie in such an "awkward" and "pretentious" manner. They claim she and her mother are famewhores.... and if she wanted to be low key, she woudn't have done XYZ...Never mind that 99% of the population was surprised to find out he was dating anyone. In short, I think they are insane!!!! I've been afraid to go on IMDb....

All I have to say is thank you Greecies for being sane. I love it here.

When I read the news, I was hoping that his secret girlfriend was our very own bklynred. Though it would be hard to do better than a Greecie, I wish them the best!

Is it weird I want to give him props for picking a woman who's his age?

Not weird. I half wondered if he'd find some 23 year old who would just have millions of babies with him. So nice that it is someone his a own age who has her own career.

At least he didn't choose yet another Victoria's Secret lingerie model or some other fashionista starlet as so many before him. Of course one doesn't know what the future holds etc, but at least he doesn't have the dating track record à la DiCaprio.

The conspiracy theories are too much. They don't even make sense. It's well within the realm of possibility that they've known each other for a while, maybe the attraction has been there for a while but the timing was bad, and once then timing was good they didn't have to spend too much time figuring out that they wanted to get married.

You're making too much sense!

All in all, well played Mr Cumberbatch. An announcement in the Times? How very posh.

She looks a bit like Sophie Marceau, whom I've always liked.

And yes, the stans are going bonkers. As usual.

I recognize her from an episode of "Midsomer Murders" she was on. I think she was pretty young and not a very good actress. Other than that, I don't know her work. All I see when I look at him is otter but I do think he's charming when he does talk shows, etc.

Thinking about it, I've decided they come up with these conspiracy theories because their *real* reason for knowing it's a fake relationship is "he's supposed to be with meeeee". And no one's going to agree with them on that.

This is brilliant.

I like his acting, but I don't understand why people think he is so gorgeous. Congrats to him.

These people scare me. Tom Hiddleston has got some crazy fans like this too. I really hope that BC doesn't read stuff about him online. I don't think he does and it is wise if he does not know there are people like this out there.
