That gif set made me smile

I do feel a bit sorry for the young girls who would have reacted that way though...
I still haven't forgiven this German band that they 'cheated' me and didn't come to Denmark when I finally had tickets... it's been 7 years and I still snarl when I see pictures of them

Those gifs are hilarious and cheered me up no end!
The sad thing though - it's not just 15 year olds behaving like that - I'm glad others can see the crazy in it though.
I'm still Benaddicted, because honestly, for me that has always meant loving his talent, and his enthusiasm, as well as being very easy on the eye! ;) - I really don't need anything more from him.
And I'm genuinely delighted that he's found happiness in his private life

Which band was that, if I may ask?

And Tinks, I totally agree. My Benaddiction has nothing to do with his private life (although secretly I always hoped that he would end up marrying Hiddles, but never mind that now... [and yes, please note: irony.]). I love all the pics we get of him on red carpets and all that, and I certainly wouldn't mind him bringing Sophie along to some of those events in the furture, on the contrary. Should he get an Oscar nomination for TIG, I seriously hope he will be there with Sophie instead of his publicist.

Ups, I just discovered that too right now - where were my eyes yesterday? - and must wipe all that tears out of my face now.

It's even more hilarious with sound

Yeah, that's the problem links can easily be overlooked. I don't wanna know what I missed because I didn't see it.

The band was Tokio Hotel... they were pretty much my life when I was 17...

And I have to agree with you, it would be amazing to see him with Sophie if (when!) he gets the Oscar nomination.
I'd love to see them comfortable about being out and about together... but their privacy is also important...

I remember the words I wrote in the letter I sent him with the socks... "I wish you so much happiness, no matter what that means to you". Well, he got that didn't he?

Ha, Phantom, for a second I actually thought about asking you if it was them.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** November 13, 2014 11:28 am

I was heartbroken... I had worked hard on a petition to get them to come... when they cancelled the concert I was just so sad... I actually don't think they ever came here... so yeah... that was my teens lol.

But oh well... It's not easy being a teenager and a big fan of someone...

But for me Ben's happiness means more to me than anything in a way... I owe him a lot I feel (yes this sounds stupid!) but he really pulled me through this messed up year of my life... This is actually perfect for me.

Yes exactly, why should it change. Even if he would become a monk or announce that he's gay would change that he's is f***ing hot and a brilliant actor.
It isn't in his contract to never have a relationship just to keep some 15 years old fans happy.

I once had a huge crush on an actor that was an out gay man. I was talking about how hot he was one time when someone decided they had to comment "You know he's gay don't you"? In a very snide manner.
My response was "You know I don't atually expect to ever have sex with him don't you." with maximum sass.

Good answer, tonnaree
So your sharp and pointy remarks did not come up when you joined this cosy place?

And to be honest, I didn't actually say "have sex" at that time. But I do try to behave here!

Fantastic response.

I don't know why it matters that someone is married or gay. That person doesn't stop beeing hot because of that.That's really weird.

Andrew Scott is as hot as hell.
A while ago now, there was lovely young girl who ran an Andrew Sott account on Twitter...but she didn't actually know he was gay.
What's more, Derren Brown tweeted her, thinking she actually was Andrew!
It was at that point I suggested she changed the name of her account...which she did.

That is absolutely brilliant! What show was this on?

**Posted by Russell** November 14, 2014 5:02 am

Didn't recognize the host in the first gif? That's Conan O'Brien! Love how they rib about the whole thing!

Eeee!! I just found the clip: (omg, Conan's expression!!)

Edit -- Ooops… sorry Ivy! Just re-read back and realized you posted a link too (then also pointed it out again when someone asked about the gifs)… must have not seen either, and since thought SH hadn't seen from her just asking about it, I thought I'd look on youtube. Extra craziness for all!
