Yes, but he might have to sit at Jesse James' table. (Though, if you ask Robert De Niro, there won't be anybody around to wait on them.)
Things started off swimmingly, with Hollywood getting both its much deserved recognition and its comeuppance at the hands of Ricky Gervais at the 68th Golden Globe Awards. While celebs like Tim Allen are apparently damned if they do and damned if they don't, Gervais' roast certainly didn't deter anyone from engaging in laughable behavior—either that night or throughout the rest of the week.
GLOBAL WARMING: Ricky Gervais pricked a few egos, and probably burned a few bridges, at the 2011 Golden Globes. His scheduled break even prompted a Twitter-fanned rumor that he had been fired midshow! The Brit (and two-time Globe winner) later insisted he was just doing his job, that Robert Downey Jr.'s dressing-down was just another joke, and that Tim Allen was cool with being dissed as the lesser performer when compared with Tom Hanks. But whether you found Gervais' shtick despicable or devilishly brilliant, he did what an awards show host is supposed to do—he kept things moving, kept the stars on their toes and brought the ceremony in for a landing on time! Upon which he decided to declare his atheism, just in case anyone had started to relax after a night of many well-deserved upsets, gowns both fab and frustrating, and an eerily humorous De Niro. (And remember, we covered the Globes from top to tails. How much do you love Colin Firth? Didn't Angelina look great? What the heck was Julianne Moore wearing?)
MISS INDEPENDENT: Christina Aguilera's catfight with Burlesque costar Julianne Hough was reportedly just the culmination of some good partyin' that started with her drinking too much and passing out in Jeremy Renner's bed. But it's OK, her boyfriend was there!
TOO SOON: Kelsey Grammer isn't the only guy itching for aisle walk No. 4! Less than a year since people first found out he had a, um, wandering eye, Jesse James is engaged to rebound love Kat Von D. But at least Sandra Bullock had a few hours to prepare for this bombshell, and she didn't have to flee her home in the aftermath or anything like that.
SMOOTH CRIMINAL: Kristen Stewart is getting up there in years. I mean, she's 20 already! Still, Vogue probably didn't need to have such a heavy hand with the retouching. She's got a few more good years until she'll have to start playing divorced moms and wise teachers and Julia Child, so no wonder the over-airbrushed pics ended up in the outtake bin.
GIRL POWER: Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban revealed that they recently welcomed their second child, daughter Faith Margaret, via a gestational carrier, meaning both Kidman and Urban's baby-making materials were used in the creation of this child. How wonderful for the seemingly very happy couple, who never fail to charm on the red carpet.
SEX AND DRUGS AND KIDS, OH MY!: MTV's new 10 p.m. drama Skins is under fire already—from its own parent company!—for being too provocative. With Viacom suits already concerned that the series is approaching child porn and the promise of more "real depictions of high school students" to come, producers are already fielding requests to tone it down. Taco Bell didn't wait around for things to get milder, instead taking its cheesy beef concoctions to another timeslot.
END OF AN ERA: Regis Philbin announced he'll be leaving Live With Regis and Kelly sometime this year. Reege has been doing an incarnation of his morning show since 1983 and started on TV 20 years before that, so...he will be missed.
ZERO HOUR: Keith Olbermann abruptly signed off from Countdown Friday, sans explanation, but it certainly didn't sound like it was his idea. MSNBC said they had "ended their contract." The least the network could do was prevent the door from hitting him in the ass on his way out.
