Oh, Ricky, you're so fine. You're so fine you're our number one choice to host an awards show after Neil Patrick Harris. Hey, Ricky. Hey, Ricky.

Everyone who's been saying that Ricky Gervais should host an awards show, breathe easy -- he'll host the Golden Globes in January, which means he can offhandedly insult TV stars and film stars simultaneously.

Feeling threatened by Ricky's new gig, perpetual awards show host Neil Patrick Harris is retaliating by going fat on How I Met Your Mother. Take that, Gervais!

Not only will Glee cast members eventually have solo albums, they'll also record a cover of Wham's "Last Christmas" for release as a single this year. Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am.

Bravo will air a spin-off of Top Chef called Just Desserts, and it will feature only pastry chefs. We have a similar idea for a competition between professional waffle cooks, called Just a Brunch.

Patrick Dempsey wants to do a sitcom about hairdressers at a beauty school in Los Angeles. No joke, besides the obvious ones. Yes, we know his wife is a stylist, and no, we're not surprised.

SNL's Fred Armisen has married Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss. They met when she made a surprise appearance on the episode of SNL hosted by Jon Hamm. Jumping to logical conclusions, Kanye West will marry Kristen Wiig. We're calling it.

I'd been hoping Ricky Gervais could bring his special brand of unfunny to American television.

They're really that desperate to milk Top Chef? More than 25 minutes an episode is unabashed product placement...how much more money can they possibly get?

I love how Karl's crazy fantasies alywas start with a grain of truth. I remember watching a programme a few years ago on Animal Planet or NatGeo where the US navy were actually training dolphins to be suicide bombers. The dolphins had a large red button on their nose and when they pressed the button against the submarine they got a reward..but in real life the button would be a detonator blowing up the dolphin and the sub. The US Navy say that have since abandoned the programme

I like this concept alot, I like the Karl Pilkington aniiatmon, it suits him, but the Steve Merchant and Ricky Gervais characters could have contained alot more Um Character?! All three of them make great cartoon characters, especially Merchants lanky self.? Dunno, just think they let the side down. To see Gervais's pointy teeth laughing away, and his annoyance with Karl would have been better. Altho I am loving the cut away stuff.
