OK, so I know it's a few days after the fact, but I'm a stickler for continuity so I have to write about the Golden Globes and Ricky Gervais. To be honest, I was a bit surprised he was asked to host the award show again this year - last year he was pretty funny, but to be asked back again....hmmm, not sure that we needed a repeat performance.
