In case anyone missed this when it aired live — and why would anyone watch the Golden Globes? — spend 450 seconds on its opening monologue from Ricky Gervais. “Let’s have a laugh at your expense,” Gervais said, and then delivered in “savage” manner, as Caleb Hull says. Gervais kicks it off with a Felicity Huffman joke, but then cuts a lot closer to the bone when it comes to Hollywood political hypocrisy.But even before that — which comes at the very end — Gervais spent nearly seven minutes declaring American cinema dead. “No one goes to the theater...

Felicity Huffman, Cats, Joe Pesci, the Catholic Church, Judi Dench and James Corden got the Ricky Gervais treatment during the opening monologue of tonight’s Golden Globe Awards, but none took the brunt of the host’s jibes quite as sharply as Hollywood itself. Casting the industry town as hypocritically woke – with a Jeffrey Epstein joke thrown in for good measure – the notoriously scathing British comic advised Golden Globe winners to skip the moralizing. Said Gervais, “Thank your agent and your God and…” The rest was bleeped, but he seemed to say something along the lines of “then get the...

After host Ricky Gervais admonished the Golden Globes winners Sunday night not to bring up politics in their acceptance speeches because they "know nothing about the real world," actress Michelle Williams did just that with a two minute long screed supporting abortion while accepting the award for Best Actress in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for TV. Williams, who, ironically, is pregnant, started out talking about choices in acting before transitioning to bodily choice, then seemingly admitted to her own abortion when she said she "wouldn't have been able to do this without employing a woman's right to...

After delivering a scorching opening monologue at the Golden Globes on Sunday, Ricky Gervais rounded out the ceremony by laying into the room of Hollywood insiders for their complicity in the Harvey Weinstein scandal. Bringing Sandra Bullock on stage to announce the final award, Gervais said, “Our next presenter starred in Netflix’s ‘Bird Box,’ a movie where people survive by acting like they don’t see a thing. Sort of like working for Harvey Weinstein.” After the crowd erupted in boos, Gervais replied, “You did it! I didn’t, you did it!”

Golden Globes on this evening....I won't be tuning in. I do not believe in telling folks to boycott a particular TV presentation...and, I will not press folks not to watch this farce, this evening. I have made my choice, and, that is it!!! Americans can choose for themselves. All I see is dead and wounded, innocent Americans laying on the floors of the Terminal II baggage concourse, in Fort Lauderdale International Airport, caused by either an Obamabot nutcase or terrorist....take your pick., dead and wounded Israeli soldiers, run down by another of Obama's Muslim brothers in hate, and the four...

Amazon proved itself a major player in the television field when its original program “Transparent” won the Golden Globe for best TV series, musical or comedy and star Jeffrey Tambor won best actor.

The series stars Tambor as a father of three who reveals he identifies as a woman. There was a lot of...

It looks as if Iran has found allies in its quest to wipe Israel off the map -- the dopes at your friendly neighborhood Target store. On sale exclusively at Target is this innocent-looking toy globe. Thousands of these trinkets have already moved out of malls, from Queens to Honolulu, and landed in living rooms and kids' rooms across America. But folks who forked over a buck for the miniature worlds got less than they bargained for. These planetary models contain just about all the countries on Earth -- from France to China, Singapore to Spain. But there's one glaring...

This week, former US Congressman Jack Kemp will arrive in an improved Israel, as far as he's concerned. An Israeli free of the socialist yoke that has burdened the country since its founding, refreshed and revitalized after a cold shower of economic reform and privatization that now enables it to cast off confining regulations and weighty government properties. It's as if Kemp himself had written the script for Israel's economy. Not that he invented the formula, but the supply side economics that increasingly shapes the Israeli economy is an important part of Kemp's world view. More than any other US...

Vancouver — Doctors are being warned by the B.C. College of Physicians not to perform breast implant surgery on women who win the saline pouches in nightclub contests. Penticton's Element Nightclub is going ahead with its Sextreme Makeover giveaway this Saturday. Dr. Peter Seland said any doctor who gives the winner implants will face penalties designed to stop such competitions. “They will certainly be looked at askance by the college. In cases where we can prove it was done, we would call the member to explain their actions. “We don't want a woman's judgment to be coloured or clouded by...

Hollywood Foreign Press Association today failed to nominate Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" in any categories for its Golden Globes, which often forecast the race for the Academy Awards. Instead the group nominated another biopic for best drama: "Kinsey," which whitewashes sex researcher Alfred Kinsey's interest in pedophilia. Also nominated for best movie drama: "The Aviator," starring Bush-bashing actor Leonardo DiCaprio; "Closer," starring Bush-bashing actresses Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman; "Finding Neverland," starring Bush-bashing actor Johnny Depp; "Million Dollar Baby," starring Bush-bashing actress Hillary Swank; and "Hotel Rwanda," about the African genocide that Bill Clinton and U.N....
