Ricky Gervais is coming back as host of the Golden Globes.

The comedian and creator of “The Office” will emcee the 68th Annual Golden Globes on January 16, 2011.

“I can’t believe they invited me back after awful things I said,” remarked the acid-tongued Brit. “Let’s see how far I can go this time.”

The 2010 telecast hosted by Gervais drew ratings that were up 12% from the previous year.

Are you excited to see Gervais take another turn?

Justin Bieber’s Mom Knocked Down In Fan Frenzy

(GettyImages.com)

After canceling a concert earlier this week due to fan hysteria, Justin Bieber’s mom was “knocked down” by overenthusiastic fans on Tuesday.

The tween heartthrob tweeted that the airport in New Zealand was “crazy” and he wasn’t “happy that someone stole my hat and knocked down my mama. Come on people.”

Though the singer’s mom was fine (and even tweeted so herself), he asked fans to “keep it safe and have fun.”

On Monday Bieber’s show in Australia was canceled after a crowd got too rowdy, leading some fans to suffer minor injuries.

Perez Hilton Can’t Quit Wrong Katy Perry Rumor

(PerezHilton.com)

“I’m stressed out with the wedding and I keep smoking to calm my nerves,” Perez Hilton quotes Katy Perry as saying.

Perez, who is so afraid of Gossip Cop that he’s blocked us on Twitter, says Perry is going to be “taking pretty intense measures” to quit smoking.

According to Perez, the “I Kissed a Girl” singer said, “I’m thinking I am going to have hypnotherapy to help me get over it.”

The blogger adds that he’s “so proud that she’s ready to do whatever she can to keep herself healthy,” and calls her decision to use hypnotherapy a “responsible thing to do.”

“Responsible thing to do” and Perez Hilton are generally two phrases one never uses in the same sentence. And Perez keeps that streak going in this item, which he picked up from another outlet.

This story is wrong.

Even Perry herself says so.

The singer tweeted, “Weird story bout hypnotherapy, smoking & wedding. It’s all made up!”

Now “made up” and Perez Hilton – those are two phrases sadly one uses a lot in the same sentence.

Sandra Bullock Divorcing Jesse James, Has Adopted Baby

(People)

Sandra Bullock is divorcing Jesse James and has adopted a baby.

In the latest shocking twist to months-long drama in the Oscar winner’s personal life, it’s been revealed that Bullock and her estranged husband began the adoption process four years ago, this past January bringing home son Louis Bardo Bullock.

“He’s just perfect, I can’t even describe him any other way,” Bullock told People magazine exclusively of her three-and-a-half month old son, who was born in New Orleans. “It’s like he’s always been a part of our lives,” she added.

Bullock and James brought Louis home in January but had kept their adoption under wraps until after the Oscars.

But in light of James’ multiple affairs, Bullock has gone forward with a divorce.

She said, ”Yes, I have filed for divorce.. I’m sad and I am scared.”

DEVELOPING…

Taylor Momsen, Rockstar

You may recognize her as Little J or Jenny Humphrey, her role from the hit TV series Gossip Girl, but 16-year-old Taylor Momsen wants to be known as a rockstar.

“I’ve been acting since I was 2,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “I don’t dislike it by any means, but it’s a job to me. Music is who I am.” True enough, she’s been spending more time with her band, The Pretty Reckless, whose debut album is coming out this summer.

The band’s first single, “Make Me Wanna Die,” is part of the soundtrack of Kick-Ass, and is available for download on iTunes. A music video is also in the works.

I listened to the single on the band’s MySpace page, and I was surprised. I was expecting another Vanessa Hudgens/Demi Lovato/Selena Gomez sound-alike. Don’t blame me for being a cynic. All teen actresses who want to branch out to music end up dressing the same way and singing the same processed pop tunes.

For a 16-year-old, Taylor has a raspy, sexy, and grownup singing style. Now I know why she’s being compared to Hole’s Courtney Love. “Make Me Wanna Die” takes a few steps away from the usual emo, punk/rock, and pop tunes that I’m frankly getting sick of.

Listen to The Pretty Reckless here. Tell me what you think about Taylor’s singing. Do you prefer Taylor Momsen the actress or Taylor the rockstar?


Wanted: Swagger Coach

Justin Bieber has one; I kid you not! Meet Ryan Good, a Florida native who was hired by R&B singer/producer Usher to tag along with teen sensation Justin Bieber and help him develop his—you guessed it—swagger.

swag·ger [swag-er]
–verb (used without object)
1. to walk or strut with a defiant or insolent air.
2. to boast or brag noisily.
–verb (used with object)
3. to bring, drive, force, etc., by blustering.
–noun
4. swaggering manner, conduct, or walk; ostentatious display of arrogance and conceit.

According to MTV, Justin was quoted saying, “I have a swagger coach that helps me and teaches me different swaggerific things to do.” I’ll bet Ryan’s job description isn’t limited to picking Justin’s clothes and matching his sneakers. This dude may be responsible for Justin’s killer tween smile, signature hair swoosh, and pickup lines.

E! Online claims that they haven’t heard of any other young stars employing a swagger coach, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this starts a new trend in the industry.

How swaggerific!
