After much begging, Gervais agrees to host 2012's Golden Globes

Ricky Gervais is a gentlemanly fellow. He'll never insult you behind your back. He'll wait for you to turn around.

G-banger might be Hollywood's latest drug. Gervais had the glamorous dazed and confused  for so long it's true! He made sure no stone was left unturned during last year's Golden Globes. From the little pups (Johnny Depp, Charlie Sheen) to the big dogs (Hollywood Foreign Press, Scientology), Gervais was dishing out faster than Tinseltown could swallow. But apparently somebody on the inside not only liked it, but wanted more (unlikely to be that Downey fellow). Either that or ratings were so low this year that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was forced to go back on their word and approach Gervais.

Gervais is facing tough decisions ahead. If he's to uphold his reputation, he will go harder and further than last year, and maybe he'll have a crack or three at Obama, the economy, the Middle East, or God forbid, Leonardo Dicaprio. But if he's going to keep the HFPA at ease, I've got a feeling the rest of the world won't be.
