British actor Benedict Cumberbatch is pleasantly surprised by the outpouring
of support following his engagement announcement.

The star revealed he had proposed to theater director/actress Sophie Hunter in a formal notice in Britain's The Times newspaper last week, and told People magazine at the premiere of his new film, "The Imitation Game," "I wanted to have some control over the message. I don't Tweet or do social media. It's too impersonal. I would rather do what we did, and have people find it, and not see us from some s", grainy footage staring lovingly into each others eyes with a ring on someone's finger. I wanted it to be ours."

He want on to say, "We're so happy, and we just wanted to let everyone know how happy we are. One of the most incredible things about getting engaged, which we had no idea would be coming back our way, is the amount of love that just comes flooding back. I thought it was just all about us declaring that we were in love and getting married, but actually it's the world going, 'We love you too!' It's amazing. Family, friends, the world. it's amazing."

Mick Jagger Diagnosed With Stress Disorder

Mick Jagger was diagnosed with acute traumatic stress disorder after his longtime girlfriend L'Wren Scott committed suicide, according to legal papers filed as part of an insurance dispute.

The Rolling Stones scrapped a string of gigs in Australia and New Zealand following Scott's death in March, and the band is now embroiled in a $12 million legal battle with their insurance company over lost earnings incurred by the axed dates.

Court documents filed as part of the dispute have now revealed the musicians postponed the tour because Jagger was ordered not to perform for 30 days by a doctor, who diagnosed the rocker with the stress disorder.

The band's lawyers claim Jagger was paralyzed by grief, but insurance underwriters deny he was "incapacitated" and suggest the only evidence of the disorder was a letter from a doctor who was not a psychiatrist.

The group's insurance claim was rejected so the rockers filed a lawsuit in London to contest the decision. The underwriters are now investigating Scott's mental state as part of the legal battle.

Mmmmm... wasn't Mick dating someone else shortly before L'Wren's death? I'm just saying!


??? Guess Who ???
The veteran entertainer who is encouraging fans of her hit 1993 move to bombard Disney bosses with demands for a sequel?

It's none other than Bette Midler talking about the comedy "Hocus Pocus".

Bette was answering questions from fans on Reddit last week when she revealed she would love to team up with former co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy for a follow-up to the 1993 movie.

The film, based on three witches who are brought back from the dead by children on Halloween, proved a huge hit when it was originally released, and Midler is adamant fans should campaign for a sequel.

During the Reddit AMA, she wrote, "You have to go to send in your cards to the Walt Disney company... The ball's in their court. Inundate the Disney company, because I have canvassed the girls and they are wiling to do it, but we have no say in it, so if you want a Hocus Pocus 2, ask the Walt Disney company."
