Ricky Gervais Fired From Golden Globe Awards?

Ricky Gervais may have lost a lot of friends in Hollywood last night after he took a jab at Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Charlie Sheen, Tom Cruise, Hugh Hefner, God and a whole bunch of others while he hosted the Golden Globe Awards.

But his cracks at Philip Berk, the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association may have gotten him fired from this prestigious gig.

A member of the HFPA tells Popeater.com, “Ricky will not be invited back to host the show next year, for sure. For sure any movie he makes he can forget about getting nominated. He humiliated the organization last night and went too far with several celebrities whose representatives have already called to complain.” 
  
Gervais got himself in trouble when he introduced the HFPA president Philip Berk and said: “I just had to help him off the toilet and pop his teeth in.” 

Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban Are Proud New Parents

Everyone in Hollywood is pregnant! But Nicole Kidman just announced that she and hubby Keith Urban had a baby December 28, 2010 and no one even knew there was a pregnancy! Well, keeping the pregnancy a secret was easy because the couple used a surrogate.

According to TMZ, Nicole and Keith used a surrogate in Nashville and the surrogate gave birth to a baby girl named Faith.

The couple released the following statement today: “Our family is truly blessed, and just so thankful, to have been given the gift of baby Faith Margaret. No words can adequately convey the incredible gratitude that we feel for everyone who was so supportive throughout this process, in particular our gestational carrier.” 

How amazingly awesome!

Ricky Gervais: ” It Was All In Good Fun!”

What did you think of Ricky Gervais’ one-sided banter last night as he hosted the Golden Globe Awards? I felt it was just a bit too mean-spirited and don’t think most of the celebs he insulted liked his style either.

During the show, Robert Downey, Jr. said: “Aside from the fact that it’s been hugely mean-spirited with mildly sinister undertones, I’d say the vibe of the show’s pretty good so far, wouldn’t you?”

Even mild-mannered Tom Hanks took a jab back at Gervais during the award presentation by saying he could remember “when Ricky Gervais was a slightly chubby but very kind comedian.”

Here are just some of the comments Gervais made. What do you think: Funny or insulting?

  1. “It’s going to be a night of partying and heavy drinking. Or as Charlie Sheen calls it, “breakfast.”
  2. “Everything this year was three-dimensional, except the characters in The Tourist. I feel bad about that joke. I’m jumping on the bandwagon, because I haven’t even seen that movie. But who has?”
  3. “Our first presenter is beautiful, talented, and Jewish apparently. Mel Gibson told me that. He’s obsessed. Please welcome Scarlett Johansson.”
  4. “Next up, Eva Longoria has the daunting task of introducing the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press. That’s nothing, I just had to help him off the toilet and pop his teeth in.”
  5. “Do you want to go see Cher? No. Why not? Because it’s not 1975.”
  6. “There were a lot of big films that didn’t get nominated. Nothing for Sex and the City 2. I was sure the Golden Globes for special effects would go to the team which airbrushed that poster.”
  7. “Also not nominated I Love You Phillip Morris. Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. Two heterosexual actors pretending to be gay. So, the complete opposite of some famous Scientologists.  My lawyers helped me with the wording of that joke.”
  8. “Who are our next presenter from such films as Hudson Hawk, Look Who’s Talking, Mercury Rising, Color of Night, The Fifth Element, Hart’s War. Please welcome Ashton Kutcher’s dad, Bruce Willis.”
  9. “I love this next presenter. He’s so cool. He’s the star of Iron Man. Two Girls and a Guy. Wonderboys. I’m sorry are these porn films? Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Bowfinger? Up the Academy. Come on! He has done all of those films, but many of you in this room probably know him best from such facilities as The Betty Ford Clinic and the Los Angeles County Jail. Robert Downey, Jr.”
  10. “I’d like to quash the rumors that the only reason The Tourist was nominated was so that the Hollywood Foreign Press can hang out with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. That is rubbish, that is not the only reason. They also accepted bribes.”
  11. My least favorite: “And thank you to God…… For making me an atheist.”

How did Gervais feel about his own performance? Here is what he told The Los Angeles Times after he finished ripping into all of Hollywood:

“I hope everyone took it well… I hope they can all take a bit of roasting from a nobody like me. Did I think twice about any of [the jokes]? No, I didn’t. I’d say any of that to their faces. I’d walk up to them and say it. That’s the test for me. And it’s in good fun.”

Breaking Dawn Photo Leaked: Wedding Night Scene

It’s not much of a photo – but I know my readers, and you will love this one still pic. Why? Because it is a photo leaked from the upcoming Breaking Dawn movie and it involves the famous Edward and Bella wedding night sex scene. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart sure know how to create chaos!

Director Bill Condon tells Entertainment Weekly about the leaked photo: “The anticipation is part of it and you want to play with what people expect and maybe subvert it a little and surprise them.”

Enjoy!

“The Dilemma” Movie Review – Argh.

The first scene of The Dilemma starts with The Band’s lyrics, “Baby don’t you do it, don’t do it!” For some reason, these words resonated with me immediately as if they were telling me to get the hell out of the screening of this movie before it started. I didn’t heed the warning and boy, do I regret it!

The Dilemma is about Vince Vaughn’s painful struggle over whether or not to tell his best friend (played by Kevin James) that his best friend’s wife (Winona Ryder) is cheating on him. Simple enough concept that should have been delivered more than capably by this “all-star cast” which also includes Queen Latifah and Jennifer Connelly.

But the main problem with this bromance is that it cannot decide whether it is a comedy or a brutally-dark drama. If you go in thinking this is a comedy, you will be shocked and disappointed by the sinister violence perpetrated by and upon a couple of characters in the movie – something I was not prepared for or appreciated.

Listen, I watched The Fighter and loved every minute of it – so, I am not against violence in movies where I go in knowing what I’ve bargained for. But when I go into a movie billed as a romantic comedy, I don’t want to be subjected to seeing any kind of violent bloodshed. Even worse, I felt absolutely zero chemistry between any of the couples, so much so that I almost found myself rooting for the affair between Winona and Channing Tatum. Except they miserably failed to heat things up too and were terribly mismatched. And Winona played a very unlikeable character. I just did not get the point of this movie. Best I can say about it is that at least Channing provided good eye candy. At times. So, thank you Channing for making this movie bearable.

One final thought: I just want to know how did the director of A Beautiful Mind Ron Howard get attached to this train wreck?

Donald Trump Announces Cast Of Celebrity Apprentice 2011

Celebrity Apprentice is one of my guilty pleasures – I don’t ever miss a moment of watching D-List celebs getting down and dirty, ruthlessly duking it out for the fake title of Donald Trump’s apprentice. This season kicks off March 6th on NBC, but I just don’t know if anyone can trump last season’s full-hearted attempt at the crown and eventual champ, Bret Michaels, but here is the cast that will try:

Teen idol David Cassidy
Atlanta’s Real Housewife NeNe Leakes
LaToya Jackson
Lisa Rinna
Gary Busey
Baseball’s Jose Canseco
Survivor winner Richard Hatch
Lil Jon
Meat Loaf
Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath
Country music’s John Rich

Playboy Playmate Hope Dworaczyk
Star Jones
Oscar winner Marlee Matlin
Model Niki Taylor
I’m pretty excited at this list, especially since it includes hottie Mark McGrath! What are your thoughts on these 16 celebs battling it out for charity? Who’s the biggest surprise, and who do you think will win? 

Steve Carell Leaving The Office Much Sooner Than We Thought….

This is simply, unacceptable. When we first heard the tragic news that Steve Carell will be exiting The Office this season, we assumed we had until May to say goodbye to our lovable enigma boss, Michael Scott.

But we have just been dealt another blow of apocalyptic proportions: Michael will actually leave Scranton (or at least Dunder-Mifflin) about a month before this season ends.

Wait. Are you telling me we just got shortchanged by another month?

How can this be? Producer Paul Lieberstein (who also plays Toby Flenderson) told NY Mag: “Steve will have a number of episodes that dramatize and lead up to Steve leaving. Then we’ll continue on for about four more episodes, and the spring will prove to be not about an actor leaving, but what happens in an office when a manager leaves and the chaos ensues and people vie for the job and are uncertain about their future.”

“It was about focusing the spring on the office and everybody else, and not just a character going. If the show was ending, it would be about that. But it’s not.”

Despite the impending gloomy loss of Carell, Lieberstein is pretty chipper about life after Michael Scott this season and thereafter. He tells NY Mag: “This time last year there was probably a lot of dread. But right now there’s a lot of excitement. We’re having the kinds of conversations we had in seasons one and two about, ‘What is the show?’ It feels like we … can really influence the show in a way we couldn’t last year. It feels really cool.”

I’m sorry – you can spin this anyway you like, but there is nothing “cool” or “exciting” about the loss of the main character on a cultish show. The Office without Steve Carell is just another TV show with a lot of great actors but no adhesive keeping them together. Who can lead this pack of disgruntled workers? Dwight? Jim? Pam? I think not. Perhaps one of the many upcoming guest stars they promise can fill the void temporarily, but certainly not for good.  I hope I am wrong. What do you think?
