Bear Grylls is getting ready to run wild again with some celebrities, and today National Geographic announced who is going along with him on the crazy ride starting on July 9th. So who are they? They are Russell Brand, Bradley Cooper, Benedict Cumberbatch, Daveed Diggs, Cynthia Erivo, Troy Kostur, Tatiana Maslany, and Rita Ora.
It is so a Monday, and we all need a pick me up! So here is Benedict Cumberbatch taking off more than his cummerbund from his tuxedo. It is nice to see Doctor Strange get strange for Vanity Fair.
I don’t remember seeing his body, but it looks better than I thought it would. And I know you are saying to me, “No sh!t, Sherlock!” I am saying it too.
Before Benedict Cumberbatch was Sherlock, he auditioned for Madonna.
How did it go? He told Graham Norton that when she saw his name on the list, she asked him if that was his real name. The actor said to her, “Yes, it is. Madonna!”
Needless to say, he didn’t get the job. Please don’t feel bad for him; he is doing OK. I mean, after all, he is nominated for an Oscar. And Madonna has several Razzies to her name.

Did you know that James Corden and Benedict Cumberbatch have had a rivalry going on for years now? Both actors had careers on the stage, at the same time, before they became household names. They were so competitive that one of them would upstage the other one.
It all started back when they did Hamlet and Sherlock got the lead role. Then it continued when they did Waiting for Godot, where, this time, the roles were reversed. It got more devilish when Doctor Strange got the lead in The Crucible. Finally, they had the ultimate catfight during Cats. So much so, they will never be allowed to work together again.
Benedict Cumberbatch teamed up with Omaze to give one lucky winner 2 tickets to the LA premiere of Avengers: Infinity War with room and board. If that is not enough, you also get to have tea with Dr Strange himself. What would it be like to do tea time with him? He likens it to the song I’m a Little Tea Pot. Then he gave us a dramatic reading of the nursery rhyme to further show us what it would be like. I do not know about you, but I am sold! I will even bring the biscuits.
Since this is for charity, here are the charity he is representing. GEANCO’s mission is to save and transform lives in Africa by focusing on the health and education of those in Nigeria. Your donations will help provide life-changing scholarships to young female victims of terrorism and gender inequality, orthopedic surgeries to those in desperate need, and maternal and infant health programs. How can you not enter with a cause as noble as that one?
