Will he do it?

After this year's Golden Globe Awards, there was a whole lot of talk about Ricky Gervais's performance. And a whole lot of speculation he'd be banned from awards shows forever. But now? Ricky has allegedly already been asked to host the Golden Globes again next year.

Ricky Gervais was so ready to be banned from the Golden Globes forever that he actually proclaimed he didn't want to do it anyway. But now that he's been asked again, will he have a change of heart? 

Ricky Gervais tells The Daily Mail, "The ratings went up again, and the organisers asked me to consider a third year. (But) I don't think I should. I don't know what I could do better. I certainly couldn't get more press for them, that's for sure." I suppose he has a good point. This year, the audience was shocked by many of Gervais's comments. But next year? It would just be expected, right?

I love that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is so confused! On the one hand, they want to follow the rules and keep everyone happy. On the other hand, the ratings are what brings in the money. And was anyone seriously damaged by Ricky Gervais's comments? No.

And they're admitting they were happy with the show: "When you hire a comedian like Ricky Gervais, one expects in your face, sometimes outrageous material... he pushed the envelope and occasionally went too far. The HFPA would never condone some of his personal remarks. Overall, however, the show was among the best we've ever had and we were pleased." Money doesn't lie, friends!

I can only think of one solution for the Hollywood Foreign Press if Ricky Gervais says no. It's time to call up Russell Brand!
