Ricky Gervais Promises This Year's Golden Globes Will Be His Last and Most Offensive
Maybe Ricky Gervais wasn't kidding when he tweeted that he has already claimed the Holocaust and pedophilia as Golden Globe monologue material. The polarizing Globes host and comedian has taken to his blog to express his true (R-rated) intent in hosting this year's ceremony and to declare that he will be making guests even more uncomfortable than they felt last year. Yikes!
Gervais explains that hosting the Globes for the "third and definitely final time" was a difficult decision but "what actually tipped the balance and made me say yes, was the fact that it would shut up all those fucking idiots who said that I'd never be invited back. Is that the wrong reason to do something? Ha ha. I think it is."
Now that we know he isn't taking the high road, leave it to Gervais to explain which of the lower avenues he plans on taking this January 15.
"Now here's the thing," Hollywood's most beloved/hated insulter begins. "The outrage I caused was of course, as usual, totally out of proportion to the things I said. I don't think anyone had any right to be offended but they were. This year I'm going to make sure their offence is completely justified. [...] Follow me on Twitter and let me know your favourite targets for the monologue. I'm enjoying it already."
Here you go, Movieliners. Let me know who you'll be suggesting as monologue targets in the space below.
