After Ricky Gervais seemed to offend half of Hollywood at this year’s Golden Globes, many said that he would never work in Hollywood again, let alone host the show again.
Well it seems that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association do like the controversy (some would say fun) that Gervais brings to the Awards ceremony, as they’ve asked him to host next year’s ceremony!
The official twitter account for the Golden Globes (@goldenglobes) confirmed this news by tweeting, “Ricky Gervais will host the 69th Golden Globe Awards on January 15, 2012.”
Ricky Gervais also confirmed the news by tweeting a photo of himself and Billy Crystal and added “Just told Billy Crystal he’d better not use any of my holocaust or pedophile material at The Oscars. He agreed (true)” (@rickygervais)
I wonder who is going to be in the firing line and how many people Gervais is going to piss off next year. The 2012 Golden Globes just got interesting!
Below is Gervais’ opening monologue from this year’s Golden Globes Ceremony

That’s Entertainment!

About The Bellissimo Files
My name's Sarina Bellissimo and I am a TV/Movie junkie. I can’t remember a time when I wasn't fascinated by all things Hollywood/showbiz. I blame my parents!
As a child my mum used to force me to watch Elvis Presley films with her, and both my mum & dad would take my brothers and I to the Drive-In to watch the latest films (this is where my love for ROCKY began!). When not watching movies, I was trying to figure out ways to pull the back off the TV so I could somehow get into it and be a part of all the action on the screen!
In 2007 I started as a regular contributor to We Love Movies. This means that I get to watch movies, talk about them and even interview some of my screen idols. I’ve interviewed the likes of Robert Pattinson, Ryan Reynolds, Daniel Craig, Uma Thurman, Colin Farrell, Cameron Diaz, and U2, to name but a few. One of my favourite interviews for We Love Movies was the one where I ended up sitting on Ashton Kutcher’s lap! Interviewing Sylvester Stallone would be a dream come true for me.
I also appear regularly on Plan B to talk movies with Michelle Beatty as well as regularly contribute to Moncrieff’s Movies and Booze segment on Newstalk 106-108. I co-presented channel 6’s (now 3e) movie show Take Six and have appeared on Ireland AM's Movie & I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here segments.
