What a bunch of pompus arses that can’t handle someone making fun of them and their self absorption.

You talking to me?

The Lifetime Achievement to DeNiro was mildly entertaining. 8-}
other than that,, gleeep.
I missed the circle jerk they had last night. And I’m glad I did. Who cares what some guy that reads stuff off cue cards says about other people that read things written by somebody else. The Golden Globes must be important because it was on TV. It just is not important to me.
I’ll admit it—I laughed at all of Ricky’s jokes and slams.
He is the Don Rickles of the 21st Century.

My goodness, these pompous people are certainly full of themselves, including the entertainment reporter who wrote this.
Yes but Don would grovel at Sinatra’s feet asking for forgiveness..........
I forgot about that...
Maybe he just does not like the people that were paying him... I know I do not like any of you hollyweird weirdos.

For sure, totally. Sounds like a valley girl.
Why has Hollywood and the vicious twins of Comedy Central gotten off the hook with this "climate of hate" meme?
We hear now that Jared Louhner had Bush Derangement Syndrome. What do you want to bet that his computer is full of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert youtubes?
Tucson was Jon Stewart's fault.
Mrs. 2ndDivisionVet watches all the award shows (her only vice) so I saw it. Ricky Gervais was HILARIOUS, but the rest of the show was a big yawn.
His shtick is making people feel uncomfortable.
I don’t get it. I mean it’s show business, the emphasis being “business”.
If one can’t be a self deprecating, self effacing or take some jokes about themselves then why are they in show business?
No has always been Cache’ in Hollywood and rejection is the motivation that spurs many to great success, all the while they say to themselves “I don’t care what they say or what they think...I KNOW I CAN and I WILL!”.
Some actors wait 10, 20 or more years to get an idea they had/have on the screen.
They need and use the paparazzi to get their names in the press.
They say outlandish things so they will be noticed.
Wear some of the weirdest outfits that loudly scream “I’m over here!”.
This while they just heard No for the umpteenth time this week alone or “It’s a possibility”(meaning - Yawn) or “I could get involved if so and so were to get involved. Go get them and let’s hope there are not scheduling issues”.
Have your people call my people, for lunch, is so oft use it’s become boorish but nothing the new 10 foot pole can’t handle “text me”.
Star want to be in the press for all the right reasons but they have to allow access for that to happen and enable the right people with some license to let a word or two slip about who id sleeping with who or dating or taking trips “as friends”.
You don’t just get someone from the Four Seasons to let that kind of stuff loose, as they are known for their unwillingness to divulge anything about their guests.
Still, a star or potential star can create a stir and tell them “Don’t worry, it’s alright”, and bitch mightily when they are made fun of for being human, erh, famous, check that, famously human.
Get over yourselves. You wanted to be famous using a knife that cuts both ways and you knew it would eventually.
You are famous and sometime infamous but you are a human who live in this world while living in the one in your head.
Deal with it.
Never understood that whole Sinatra as ‘tough guy’ make-believe mafia dude. Hustled his way out of WW II.
Remember the days when we made fun of EVERYONE?
These people would never hack the old Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts.
He hung around mafia dons...............
Just once I’d like to see an all out brawl break out between winners and losers... or an epic food fight breaking out that would put the one in a Three Stooges episode to shame... I’d watch every year if there was a possiblity it could happen.
Please don’t compare Gervais to the Master. I love roasts and enjoy seeing pompous Hollywood celebrities get skewered (it’s not like they ever give conservatives a break). The rest of the media doesn’t mind either because the HFP is one of the most phony, corrupt org’s around. However, most of Ricky’s jokes were witless hackery. Making fun of Charlie Sheen and Downy’s boozing? Cruise and Travolta’s closeted gayness? How many times have those jokes been told by countless comics and internet snarkers. That’s talentless hack comedy—like joking about Keith Richard’s longevity or the way white people dance. It’s only amusing because he had the balls to say it in front of that crowd.
