Ricky Gervais killed it last night!

Yes, yes, don’t worry everyone, we’re going to get all of the Golden Globes posts out of the way now so we don’t have to go on pretending they’re a thing past noon. Anyway, after Ricky Gervais‘ performance at last year’s Globes performance was criticized for being too “mean” (read: honest), someone at the HFPA pulled their head out of their ass and realized that most celebrities are assholes anyway and they can just buy new feelings with the millions of dollars they have. So they brought him back in, and once again, he KILLED. More than anything, I’m actually happy celebrities actually joked along with him rather than getting all huffy again (I’m looking at you Robert Downey Jr.) Anyway, you can watch his opening monologue below, where he trashes Kim Kardashian, the Oscars and Adam Sandler.

So the Golden Globes were last night …

First off, sorry for the down time last week. Someone stole my laptop while I was in Los Angeles so posting was kind of … impossible. Anyway, thanks to MK for carrying the extra weight while I was away!

The 69th (tee-hee!) Annual Golden Globes were last night, and once again the industry got together to celebrate the Oscars‘ test run. On the plus side, this show really makes it easy to pick out your Oscar pool if you’re into that sort of thing. No major surprises in the winners this year, but at least Meryl Streep might be finally getting her due this year. Via Us Weekly:

See what I mean? No real surprises, and I was happy to see The Artist clean up a little if only because bringing the dog up on stage was one of the best things about the night. That being said, did any one else not see the Matt LeBlanc win coming? Admittedly, it was kind of a weak category, since they didn’t pull anyone from Parks and Recreation or Community, but still, that one sort of just eeked by, didn’t it?

The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards

Ricky Gervais is hosting the Golden Globes again!

If you’re like me, chances are that the only thing you remember from last year’s Golden Globes was that Ricky Gervais was hysterically funny but everyone there got all upset, because famous, beloved millionaires are such vulnerable creatures and we need to protect their precious feelings. Despite the fact that the organizers barred him from ever returning to the show ever again, Ricky was invited back to host the awards again this year, which means for the second year in a row, the Golden Globes will be watchable! Us Weekly reports:

Ricky Gervais is back! The 50-year-old English comic will be hosting the 69th Golden Globe Awards, show announcers confirmed Wednesday. Many assumed last year’s controversial host wouldn’t be back again. He slammed Robert Downey, Jr., for his past stints in jail and rehab, Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie for The Tourist, Charlie Sheen for his meltdown and the cast of Sex and the City for their ages. He also mercilessly targeted celeb Scientologists John Travolta and Tom Cruise. “The ratings went up again, and the organizers asked me to consider a third year,” Gervais wrote in Heat magazine this February. At the time, the Office creator wasn’t sure if he should emcee again. “I don’t think I should,” he wrote. “I don’t know what I could do better!” The 69th Golden Globe Awards will be held on Jan. 15, 2012.

Look, if he just got up onstage and bullied people, then maybe I might see why everyone got all pissy about the whole deal. But the thing is, they were jokes, and they were actually true. Robert Downey Jr. was a mess, The Tourist was an unwatchable turd wrapped in sparkly Hollywood glitter, the cast of Sex and the City are starting to show their age, and John Travolta and Tom Cruise are part of a religion based entirely on money and aliens. Those aren’t unfair generalizations, they’re the truth. And Ricky made them funny. Get over it Hollywood.

Ricky Gervais: Invited to host The Golden Globes again!

Hey, remember how the HFPA got their panties in a bunch over Ricky Gervais doing his goddamned job by ripping on everyone who sucked at the Golden Globes, and how they were going to ban him from ever hosting it again? Yeah, about that? They actually invited him back to host next year’s awards.

Gervais wrote, “The ratings went up again, and the organisers asked me to consider a third year. (But) I don’t think I should. I don’t know what I could do better. I certainly couldn’t get more press for them, that’s for sure.” Gervais continued, “I did exactly what I went to do: improve on last year’s and have a laugh. The response was staggering. It was discussed on every news channel and chat show for weeks. The weird thing is, the question is always, ‘Did Ricky go too far?’ And the answer is always, ‘No.’ I have yet to find anyone who was actually offended by it.” SOURCE

Man, they were SO close to banning him! I mean man, if Ricky had been barred from hosting the Golden Globes, then never again would celebrities have to suffer the injustice of having one person say to their face what millions have already said behind their backs. I’m assuming next year the awards will be hosted by a robot that hands out hugs, back rubs and blowjobs.

Christina Aguilera is kind of a crazy bitch!

Christina Aguilera was at a Golden Globes party the other night (I never thought I would type that sentence either, but here we are …) and of course, she was the picture of grace and sophistication and HAHAHA! Just kidding. She actually tried to start a catfight with her Burlesque co-star, Julianne Hough. Yeah, I’d be pissed if I lost out to a crappy Cher song too.

“Christina really got in her face,” an eyewitness told E! News, saying that Aguilera unleashed a verbal barrage at Hough. Onlookers said Aguilera even grabbed Hough, leading the Dancing With the Stars hoofer to snap, “Don’t touch me!” Before the two separated, Aguilera threatened to torpedo Hough’s burgeoning country singing career. Hough was said to be “visibly upset” by the incident, according to one insider. “The whole thing was troubling. People felt bad for Julianne.” SOURCE

Remember how a couple years ago, everyone was saying that Christina Aguilera came out on top in the Britney Spears v. Xtina battle? Well, who’s laughin’ now, sucka? Britney has an actually listenable dance song out, and Christina is slowly turning into the Pillsbury Doughgirl. Point: BRITNEY.

Christina Hendricks’ Boobs Are Now DIAMONDS!

Because there is, in fact, a loving God, Christina Hendricks reportedly almost lost an $850,000 diamond bracelet on the red carpet of the Golden Globes Sunday night. Thankfully, she found the damned thing, but when she couldn’t get it back on, she did the one thing I’ve always secretly fantasized about her doing: SHE HID $850,000 WORTH OF DIAMONDS IN HER CLEAVAGE. BOO-FUCKING-YAH.

Outside, an event worker had found it and handed it back to a relieved Hendricks. But once back at her table, she found she couldn’t get it back on due to a tricky clasp. So she decided to turn it over to her publicist, who was outside, for safekeeping. But security blocked her as she tried to leave the auditorium, as no one is allowed in or out once the show starts. She begged, “Please let me out, I have to give my diamond bracelet to my publicist!” The guard watched wide-eyed as Hendricks pulled the bracelet out from her ample cleavage. He opened the door a crack and she passed the jewels through to her publicist outside. SOURCE

You know what? No. No joke here. If the idea of Christina with nearly a million dollars’ worth of diamonds between her tits isn’t enough for you, then there’s just no hope for you … alright fine, one quick joke. Knock Knock? (Who’s there?) Orange! (Orange who?) Orange you glad that Christina Hendricks had a bunch of diamonds between her boobies? Thank you, thank you! I’ll be here all week. Tip your waitresses!

Well, Ricky Gervais Is Boned

So if you caught the Golden Globes last night, chances are you could literally feel the overwhelming hatred that every celebrity in the room felt for Ricky Gervais. Why? Because Ricky had the gall (THE GALL I SAY!) to make fun of them to their faces. That bastard?

Hollywood Foreign Press Association President Philip Berk told The Hollywood Reporter that, “He definitely crossed the line. And some of the things were totally unacceptable. But that’s Ricky.”

And he had no idea what was coming.

“I had absolutely no idea what Ricky was going to say so anything I heard was heard was the same time you heard it,” Berk said. “When you hire Ricky Gervais, you expect the unexpected. SOURCE

Alright soap box time: Did Ricky hurt your feelings? Too bad! Honestly, the guy didn’t say anything on stage that a million gossip bloggers haven’t said before, albeit with a different punchline. Ricky wasn’t hired to hold the hands of some of the richest and most famous people in America and tell them how special they are. Hell, they have MILLIONS of people telling them that already. People don’t make fun of celebs to be mean; We make fun of them because talking about ridiculous people doing ridiculous things is funny. And if you don’t get that, then that’s just your problem.

A couple stray observations: First off, we have finally seen the day where Trent Reznor won a Golden Globe. WHAAAAAAAAAA?! Second, the awesomeness of that Reznor’s win is immediately negated by Cher‘s win. Seriously, what the hell? That movie sucked more than a discount lipo clinic. Third: I look forward to posting this entire list again in two months after the Oscars air.
