Week in Review: Johnny Depp's Shocking Split, Avril & Brody Break Up, Khloé Baby Talk & Golden George Clooney
So, how about those Republican primaries?
If you would prefer not to think about the economy, international conflict or the depressing nature of politics in this country for a few minutes—we've got the perfect reprieve!
Is Ricky Gervais Selling Out?
Hawking for hawks? Shilling for snakes? Ricky Gervais might do just that.
The English comedian has a big decision to make: should he sell out and put the money he earns toward an animal sanctuary?
The Golden Globes host took to his blog to shares his "cunning plan" to help wildlife…But how exactly would this work?
Ricky Gervais Took a Big Pre-Golden Globes Bow (Wow!)
Well, the critics did say the show went to the dogs.
But prior to hosting the Golden Globes for the third time Sunday night, Ricky Gervais bumped into a new best friend while strolling along Rodeo Drive.
So, was it this friendly punk-rock pooch that helped sweeten Ricky's act a bit?
Ricky Gervais's Scandal-Free Golden Globes Stint—What Did Celebs Think?!
So much for the days of ripping on Scientologists…or really, anyone else for that matter!
Aside from some snarky remarks directed at non-attendees Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian (who, FYI, didn't mind the jokes) and a few playful jabs at the likes of Jodie Foster and Johnny Depp, Ricky Gervais stayed scandal-free during his Golden Globes hosting gig last night.
And the result was, well, kinda boring. So we had to ask the celebs—who easily could have wound up as victims of his punch lines—if they too felt Ricky had held back after last year's controversy:
Ricky Gervais on His Favorite Golden Globes Ever: "I Had a Blast"—but Will He Host Again?
The third time was the charm. Er, not for the critics. Or necessarily for the ratings. But it definitely was for the host!
"Phew!" Ricky Gervais wrote in a Golden Globes postmortem blog post on his official site this morning. "Thank f--k that's over. I had a blast actually. It was by far my favorite of the three hosting stints."
And he cut right to the chase about whether or not Hollywood needed to brace itself for a four-peat (and which superstar's fans' wrath he most fears in the wake of his emceeing)...
UPDATE!
Golden Globes Verdict: Ricky Gervais "Flops"—or "Got It Just Right?"
Ricky Gervais got bleeped, got praised—and got, perhaps, the worst kind of review of all.
The comic was called boring.
A sampling of the reviews—and the TV ratings—for Sunday's Golden Globes:
Golden Globes Burning Qs: What Did Kim Kardashian Think of Those Jokes? Where Was Ryan Gosling?
The awards have been handed out, the dresses and jewels are in the process of being returned and Ricky Gervais is possibly already en route back to the U.K.
But the Golden Globes aren't over yet—at least not until we answer some lingering burning questions from last night's show…starting with just how Kim Kardashian felt about being so prominent a feature in Ricky's monologue…
2012 Golden Globes: Five Biggest Jaw-Droppers
After tonight, the only thing we're willing to bet on as awards season progresses is more accolades for The Artist.
That is inevitable.
But as predictable as the Emmys were in September (Mad Men and Modern Family, again?!), that's how oddball some of the choices made at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards seemed. We'd give you more of an intro, but we have to coax our eyebrows out of their über-critical arches before the weekday grind starts again.
So, here are five moments that knocked us for a loop:
2012 Golden Globes Shine on The Descendants, The Artist, Homeland, Modern Family
Everything's coming up George Clooney!
The Descendants, starring the Cloonmeister as an unraveling dad whose cheatin' wife is in a coma, was named Best Motion Picture, Drama, at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards, held Sunday at the Beverly Hilton.
For his subtle performance, Clooney was named Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama, and took the opportunity to thank...Brad Pitt?!
Best & Worst of the 2012 Golden Globe Awards: Ricky Gervais Breaks All the Rules Again!
The Golden Globes lured Hollywood's biggest stars such as Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Lea Michele, George Clooney, Sofia Vergara, Reese Witherspoon, Leonardo DiCaprio for a night of glitz, glamour and an open bar—so who did host Ricky Gervais insult first?
If you guessed Dame Helen Mirren, Justin Bieber or Jodie Foster (and her Beaver), you were on to something.
Read on for the best, the worst and the most memorable moments of the Golden Globes...
