Blind Item #7
This probably would have stayed inside the exam room, but when our C list celebrity who is married to a foreign born A list movie and television actor was paying her bill with her husband, the receptionist making the C lister's appointments for the remainder of the pregnancy was confused about the counting. It turns out that the time frame our celebrity told her husband for the pregnancy was off by about a month. So, what she said was two months was actually three.
Sophie Hunter

ReplyDeleteyup!
Benedict Cumberbatch & Sophie Hunter
ReplyDeleteIt might explain (might) how he gave a red carpet interview indicating a time line that would NOT put her showing as early as she did.
Stressful enough going through a pregnancy , to be adding the deceit and drama. Damn.
ReplyDeleteMight explain why she is so, so, so thin still.
ReplyDeleteShe must really have hated Cumberbatch when they did that movie together back in the day to want to do him dirty like this.
I say DNA test….this is bad situation
ReplyDelete^good dish@ macaroniandcheese- I hadn't a clue they worked together!
ReplyDelete^ no pun intended lol( just realized)
sophie hunter. but this has to be from some time ago, it says three months and she looks now like she is about to pop the baby lol
ReplyDeleteCumberbatch blind everyday it seems. Sorry but when you marry an escort YOU know that's an ESCORT, you know whether the baby's your or not. Believe me he knows its not his.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I knew it. It says husband in the present tense though, so this may have happened far more recently. Sometimes a few details in BI are left out or changed because of reasons ;). If it did happen earlier SH may have given BC some sob story about not wanting to be an unwed mama. Or she may have simply threatened to make a fuss. So no prenatal paternity test. But, given everything that's happened since then BC's best out is to play loving daddy-to-be, wait until the kid's born, get a Legal DNA test on the down low and sideblind her with notmybaby. At the Oscars BC claimed that SH became pregnant later on so he may be setting the stage for that already. BC called her a 'tool' award season is over, DVD will be released, he doesn't NEED her any more. Things might take a surprising turn, I don't think he's ok with passing some of his money to his wife's lover.
ReplyDeleteSince when is she 'any' kind of a celebrity? Even D list?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Hunter/Cumberbatch. The receptionist said the time frame was off by a month, not that the woman is now three months' pregnant. She is easily in her 8th month and this BI lends more support to the prevailing theory that Cumberbatch was duped by a clever woman figuring to retrieve a failing life by hooking a big fish. I suppose it's possible he really IS gay and this all works for him, so maybe he knew all along. I haven't thought so but there's always a chance he's in a closet so deep the other end comes out in Beijing - or he's just a fool and she's just what so many hinted she was: an amoral opportunist. Wonder if the baby is his.
ReplyDeleteSam Worthington and Lara Bingle.
ReplyDeleteHOW does this stuff get out? Crazy.
ReplyDeleteWhat I don't understand is why everyone thinks Sophie Hunter is some sort of horrible person. She and Cumberbatch were old friends- it is not unheard of for old friends to eventually get together romantically. Hey, it happened to me with the man I have been married to for 20 years! Why does everyone think there is some sort of subterfuge going on? Perhaps they just fell in love and decided to start a family. Seems like that to me. I wish them the best.
ReplyDeleteInteresting if it is Sophie Hunter. A friend from work went to his engagement party. They are friends from Manchester. Apparently it was a one shot deal so to speak, and if the dates don't match, well then....Everyone who went was shocked by the engagement, and feel that she isn't like the guy they went to school with who is funny and loving. She was apparently very aloof and cold at the engagement party which shocked everyone because it was supposed to be a celebration for them and she didn't want to engage with his friends. He wants to be a father and is quite traditional apparently. So he jumped at the chance when she said she was pregnant. The reason he and his girlfriend from uni broke up was apparently he wanted kids desperately and she wanted to work on her career -they apparently were the perfect match personality wise, but just at different stages of their lives. Everyone thought he would settle down with someone like her, fun, sweet, charming, and this wedding/engagement were a shock. If the dates don't match, then we'll have to see if his need to be a father will let him be a father to another man's child.
ReplyDeleteit doesn't..this site is getting stupid-how & where & to whom would someone(anyone)pass this 'intel' on.seriously,re-read the blind & think..yeah..no...no one talks like this...except m/b derek
ReplyDeleteFor those of you in the UK, isn't antenatal care covered by the NHS? What bill would a UK resident need to pay for a pregnancy-related doctor's appointment? Maybe just my Canadian bias showing through, but that part of the blind item makes it seem to me that this would be an American couple, not Sophie Hunter and Benedict Cumberbatch.
ReplyDeleteMillie-- Celebrities,Politicians,Athletes,etc., don't go through those normal channels per-se just so to avoid such repercussions/leaks as this
ReplyDelete@Millie
ReplyDeleteI live in the UK and yes, our NHS midwife/doctor appointments are free. Having said that, I reckon that Sophie would think the NHS as below her new C-list status (WTF???) and that they would pay to go private, as many British celebs do (thinking specifically of Portland Hospital in London).
Haven't a clue who this is...
ReplyDeleteA receptionist open to a nice chunk of money by interested parties tracking this couple, that's who would pass that on? Nurse or doctor? Likely not. But a lowly receptionist who'd like a new car or a fancy vacation? Please. This is probably a much more recent tip forwarded here but backdated to blur the lines. You don't suppose for a moment, either, that Cumberbatch is having his wife cared for under the NHS plan back home, do you?
ReplyDeleteOh come now, this has smelled from Day One. He's been trying to hide when they got engaged and when she got pregnant in order to cleanse the whole thing of the reek of "Shotgun engagement" which at a minimum made him look like a 38 year old fool. They looked horribly uncomfortable on those early red carpets, and waited till she was 5 mos in to acknowledge the pregnancy. If it had been a sudden realization of True Love they wouldn't have had any problem announcing the pregnancy and the engagement at the same time. And she has an unsavory past. And please-the woman was 36 years old, lived with Conrad Shawcross for two years, has been shall we say around the block. Suddenly her birth control fails when she's suddenly on the shady side of 35, a failed career, the bio clock ticking . . . she can tell her mother and Baby Daddy how shocked she is to find herself pregnant, but not the rest of us. The woman gambled and won. My hat is off to her.
ReplyDeleteEngagement party? What engagement party - no news of an engagement party leaked out which would surprise me. He did graduate from University of Manchester but . . . FWIW, when the engagement was announced someone on the Guardian's coverage said they had seen the two of them at the theater recently and has never seen a couple look more miserable together. Yes, everyone's known Cumberbatch wants kids and was getting antsy as 40 loomed. As I said, Hunter probably shrewdly assessed that if he thought it was his, he'd be queasy about terminating, and snagged her fish and got rescued from being an aging failed actress with no life prospects. I guess he'll either grin and bear it or get tired of it in a few years. Either way, Hunter will have gotten a leg up in life; with a divorce, she'll get child support for 18 years or so and a handsome settlement. Nice work, Sophie.
ReplyDeleteRight, Benedict Cumberbatch is going to have his wife sitting in crowded offices and on long waiting lists . . . the NHS in Britain is crumbling. Rich people get private care, which Cumberbatch can well afford. Mrs Cumberbatch having his precious first baby at 36 under the problem ridden NHS? Not.
ReplyDeleteI have lived in the UK and I agree, the probability is that Mrs C is being cared for privately, especially given that any woman over 35 is considered a "high risk" pregnancy. With his schedule and their many trips to L.A.,, etc., she's in private care.
ReplyDeleteHe has been described by friends as rather "gullible". Being bright isn't the same thing as being savvy. Actors remind me of doctors: to get where they're going they have to focus intensely on one thing, and other parts of their psyches don't get a chance to grow up. He's always struck me as a bit strange. She'[s probably miles savvier than he is.
ReplyDeletewhat kind of money could get that receptionist from CDaN? selling this story to a tabloid, okay, i would agree, but anyone who reveals anythig to Enty walks away empty-handed. these are just blind items, not som real gossip you can read in Daily Fail or Perez. Honestly, there were so many contradicting blinds about this couple in the last three months, that i hardly believe any of them anymore.
ReplyDeleteWe al so have private health care as well. So it could have been a private clinic. Anyway the issue is the dates don't match up. Not a Cumberbatch fan but a lover of gossip. There's something fishy about this union.
ReplyDeleteWow. The Cumberbitches are out in force. All I can say is that if the kid isn't his, the world will be relieved to know somebody else who looks like a giant insect has not been born.
ReplyDeletego directly to 2 minutes 30

Sophie's unwillingness to engage he fiance's friends is an implicit admission of guilt. She was and is afraid that her ruse will be made public. Apparently, that toff trollop doesn't realize that her party may be over sooner than she expects.
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya, Portia. I don't get the Sophie hate, either. To me, it sounds like they have known each other a long time, she got pregnant, so they got married--no conspiracy necessary. Sophie also sounds like a very hard-working thespian with a shit-ton of credentials, so I don't understand why people are calling her a whore. Maybe it's all the Cumberbitches having difficulty accepting he's off the market? Dunno. *shrug*
ReplyDelete*snort*
ReplyDeleteSince marrying someone A-ish list. Ratings are often based on name recognition, not only career. Before Cumberbatch, she would have been Z, not even as high as a middling reality star. Because he has her name all over the internet, her rating rises--not based on her own career, but based on his. It makes sense she is rated C as his spouse, given all the recent talk about them (and all the weirdness surrounding this relationship). Now you know her name, half the internet knows her name, and a handful of people who like to follow celebrities know her name. Hence, C.
ReplyDeleteActually, the BIs of these two if you string them all together aren't contradictory at all - they hang together, and someone who knows a great deal about them I think has been feeding Enty the basics. He always changes things around a bit. Re the receptionist - selling to the tabs is to dangerous, but a tip to Enty? Money gets you anything and everyone has a price.
ReplyDeleteI've got relatively successful theatre clients who are furious about her because she has repeatedly lied on her resume. She lied to Vogue, too, when she told them what her projects coming up for the season were. She is credited with being a driving force with theatre companies who have come out and basically said she has nothing to do with them.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think much of her one way or the other in the early publicized days of their engagement until I had a (straight, married male, so no "you can't have him" misogyny excuse there) client turn red in the face when her name came up. In the months since, I've heard her name a lot more completely aside from the Cumberbatch stuff and none of it has been nice.
No one likes a fibber, especially people who have spent a couple decades fighting tooth and nail just to survive on their passion.
Oh good God her CV has been fluffed up since they got engaged, she hasn't done much work to speak of in several years, she was at loose ends in New York her career as an actress was a complete failure and two of the theaters she worked for (Lacuna for one) put out corrective press releases saying that she didn't get the award, the theater did. She never graduating from Oxford, she just took some language courses there. She was a big nothing with a stalled career, a fringe dilettante going nowhere when she "reconnected" with a man who did nothing for her in 2009 but was suddenly Sherlock, Khan, and Harvey Weinstein's new IT boy b/c of TIG. You're easily fooled.
ReplyDeleteSide-eyeing this rel srlsy, oh yeah, but friend if you think this is about to end with the baby's birth and a DNA test don't hold your breath. You have no way of knowing what his end of things is, and for all you know something about this works for him. If he didn't want to look like a jackass and tried to cover up the shotgun aspect of this, he's sure as hell not going to make himself look like even more of a jackass now. And you don't KNOW that the baby isn't his. Remember this is CDaN. Unless that baby is the spit of Siskin Gambles I suspect this will take a few years to play out.
ReplyDeleteOf course there's constantly blinds that could be this guy and his wife. The comment counts are higher than average on these blinds thanks to his fans or whoever, so it's an ad revenue generator.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't matter if the baby isn't his, at the level of famewhoring he is right now, never will he come out and admit that and become a even bigger joke than he is right now.
ReplyDeleteHe's gonna want to save face, the same way he is trying to sell this as the greatest love story ever, instead of coming out and saying Shot Gun, like everyone can tell it was.
He has gone for respected actor to tabloid darling in just a few months, how fast can one fall, huh
But, if this comes out and become a scandal, I hope that Marvel fire his ass and give Joaquim a new chance, cause he would be a great Dr. Strange, better than Cumberbitch for sure. It could work, the shooting has been delayed anyway
ReplyDeleteLookup Indy actor John Wells, he even looks like Stephen Strange. Give someone like him a chance I say.
ReplyDeleteDo you think BC is going to raise another man's kid? A man who his wife is STILL seeing and who is getting HIS money? Years of putting up with that, while his reputation sinks even further as SH keeps blabbing to the tabloids? Are you crazy? No, this is going to end sooner than you think, though we may not hear about it right away.
ReplyDeleteForgot to add that once BC puts his name on that Birth Cert he's fucked even if he isn't the bio father. If anything decisive happens it's going to be shortly after the kid is born. There is no other way. Also, what benefit is BC getting from this? Honestly, think about it.
ReplyDeleteWell this is now a Revealed BI and yes, it IS Hunter/Cumberbatch.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see where there was a reveal on this page but I know there is another page. Also on Tumblr someone strung together the BIs in a way that makes sense on a blog caked Calling It Anon. It makes a lot of sense if you put them ALL together but you have to go back in time a bit.
ReplyDelete"..No Guy Is That Stupid & Naive At That Age…if Benedict hit that homely thing"
ReplyDeleteWhat? Are you seriously referring to Sophie Hunter as a "homely thing" ?? What? She's lovely!
And , I am sorry, but where is this a revealed blind item? And do you really believe a gossip columnist who takes tips off of the internet from anonymous people as gospel truth? I obviously do not understand Americans. It's fun to read stuff but I take it all with a major grain of salt! Revealed? That's hilarious. Show me proof.
I wouldn't presume to know what a film star with whom I have no personal relationship would or wouldn't do, but given how anxious he was to blur the timeframe of the engagement/pregnancy to make it look like she got pregnant after they decided to get married rather than (as is nakedly obvious) the reverse, it's at least clear he's afraid of looking foolish. If the baby isn't his and he chooses not to make an issue of it (and actually you have no proof whatsoever that it isn't[-gossip is fun but it's hardly genetic proof) he may have his reasons. Maybe he really IS gay and this works for him. Maybe he found out he's sterile and this works for him. You can't assume you know more about him than he knows about himself. I've seen your blog, btw. You're not exactly objective and there's little you would NOT believe about Sophie Hunter, including that she's the Anti-Christ. Someone who knows these two is clearly feeding Enty a continuous stream of info but what the whole fabric of that is, you have nothing to go on but gossip and photos. Maybe Mr C is getting something out of this that you cannot see or know. Meanwhile, we'll all find out soon enough as I doubt that woman is going to make it past early-mid April. If the baby looks like him, blogs like yours will start with the "surrogate" "secret adoption" stuff. I don't particularly care for her, she looks like a cold, calculating opportunist, but I don't particularly care for him, either. This is an interesting story to follow because it's clear something is "off". But assuming as fact that it's not his and he's going to throw her under the bus after the baby's born is ludicrous. If anything, I'd guess Mr C has had quite enough trauma for awhile.
ReplyDeleteWell you're right it's not yet a revealed BI, my mistake. As for "homely" I don't think it was I who referred to her that way. She's reasonably attractive, I wouldn't call her beautiful - as for not understanding Americans, don't patronize, given that your tabloid "red top" newspapers set the ummm, standard, for the rest of the world.
ReplyDelete@yeahsure....I never said where I was from, did I?
ReplyDeleteHis credibility is shot to pieces. Furthermore so is SH's, we've had people in opera/theatre dissect her fluffed up CV, care to argue with THEM? That is more than enough proof that she is a liar and a fraud. BC's career is in jeopardy, anyone with eyes can see that. Most of the purported 'benefits' you claim that he would receive from this really don't make sense. Use logic for once, being gay in Hollywood isn't that big of a deal anymore, as is being infertile. In fact, many celebs who are capable of having bio children choose to adopt instead. Others choose to use a surrogate. This is old news. In short there is no NEED to lie to the extent that he obviously has. Martin Freeman has a loving family but he and Amanda chose a domestic partnership instead of traditional marriage. Not too many people criticize them for that. In this case there seems to be something very unpleasant happening behind the scenes, the BI's are simply clues pointing to possible blackmail. Also, care to explain how aged BC has been looking as of late? His entire demeanor has changed for the worse almost overnight, that is not normal.
