Even though Benedict Cumberbatch directly confirmed the fact that he is NOT moving to LA any time soon – because of his friends, family and Sophie, in that order – The Daily Mail is still claiming that Bendy has bought himself a sprawling LA estate. The Mail has the photos too – go here to see. For what it’s worth, I think the Mail is just repeating the older story from another UK paper. I don’t even think the Mail realizes that Bendy shot down this particular rumor at the BAFTAs.

What else? Well, Benedict has a new interview with Nightline. You can see the video here, but I’m embedding it below too. It’s a really short interview and they go on and on about how Benedict is “famous on the internet.”

He says he’s not on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram and that there lots of people on Instagram pretending to be him. But the Sophie part is interesting. When asked about Sophie in general, he says, “She’s great… she’s very cool.” When asked, “Even about the Cumberfollowing?” he goes off in what I can only think of as a warning to the most aggressive Cumberbitches:

“Yeah, she’s fine. True fans know that they’re treading on something which is very dear and private to me… yeah, I think it should be [private]. There’s somebody who’s going to come into the world as our child and I…I’d ask people to respect that fact.”

SHOTS FIRED! No, I tend to think he is trying to tell his fans to cool it a bit. We’ll see how that works out. Ha.
