    Ricky Gervais Returns to Spit in HFPA's Faces!

    Does anyone truly care about who wins the two "Best Picture" awards, seeing celebrities getting served liquor (The logic going them getting more boozed up results in more "off the cuff" acceptance speeches) or who is deemed the best & worst dressed by a panel of fashion-obsessed douchebags?

    Of course not, the Golden Globes is all about the celebrity butt-kissing and that idology came in stark contrast to the hosting duties of British comedian Ricky Geravis last year (See video below).

    But in a surprise move, considering how thin-skinned Hollywood is about themselves, Variety has the scoop Gervais will return for host duties after all. In a case of honesty, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association acknowledged not everyone is file and rank behind this call:

    "While many welcome Gervais's return, not everyone is happy with the decision because  last year his blunt one-liners targeting big-name celebrities caused anger and resentment in some quarters. After the show Gervais dismissed the possibility of coming back for a third time, but he gradually warmed to the idea and last month met with HFPA President Dr. Aida Takla-O'Reilly in Paris to discuss it. He  said recently that the idea of going back behind the podium 'is very tempting.'"

    Guess that's what happens when your ceremony is airing on a network so down the toilet, they had to talk you into letting Gervais back. Let's just hope he doesn't pussy out and play nice on air.
