People are still upset over Ricky Gervais’ jokes from the Golden Globes and not just people, important people who also have access to microphones and rooms with large audiences.

Last night at the Producers Guild Awards, director Judd Apatow took the mic and said what he thinks about the British comedian’s jokes. Here are some of his best lines:

“He had that joke about the guy on Lost. He said he ate everybody else. Let’s be honest — Ricky Gervais just lost weight. Even now he’s four pounds away from not being allowed to do a joke like that. Did he lose weight just to make fat jokes? You think that’s how mean he is?”

On Gervais’ joke about Charlie Sheen: “Leno did it a week before. I think he’s an OK target. The people at CBS have said as long as he shows up on time, knows his lines, he can do whatever he wants.”

On Gervais’ joke about The Tourist: “(Gervais) says the characters were two-dimensional. Then he says he hasn’t seen The Tourist. So as a comedian, that’s not fair, is it? To make jokes about a movie you haven’t seen. I can’t do a joke about (Gervais’s movie) The Invention of Lying because I haven’t seen it. You haven’t seen it. None of us have seen it. So the joke would not work.”

“Tim Allen did 200 episodes of Home Improvement. He was in three of the highest grossing movies of all time. And his latest just crossed the one billion mark. Whereas The Invention Of Lying made $18 million dollars worldwide…Leave Tim Allen alone.”

So, a lot of people are still pretty upset about the things Ricky said, I guess.

Thing is, I’m not sure that it matters if Hollywood’s mad at him. The dude’s not famous over here the way he is in the UK, so I don’t think he’s ever really relied on our audiences and our film industry to keep him afloat.

He was hired to host the Globes with the producers knowing exactly what kind of comedian he was and frankly, vilifying people never goes as far as the haters hope it would. In fact, when it comes to comedians, authors and tabloid princesses, it usually only helps.

Do you think Judd was right for calling Ricky out or do you think that he should have taken the high road?

If you’re not familiar with the humor of British comedian Ricky Gervais, you might have been a little bit surprised at some of his barbs during his Golden Globe hosting duties. Ricky’s known for functioning on the “funny because it’s true” side, which means that some of the topics he hits on are often considered off-color by many. Then of course there are the folks that lap up his brand of brutal honesty peppered with punchlines.

The reviews of his hosting job are coming in and almost all of them are scathing. Personally, I thought he gave us exactly what we should have expected. Beside, there’s something to be said about a host who actually says what everyone at home’s thinking. Who needs to watch a host kiss the asses of a room full of people that live their lives having their asses kissed by the entire world?

Chime in with your thoughts on Ricky’s hosting job by participating in the poll and in the comments.

“I like a drink as much as the next man – unless the next man is Mel Gibson.”

Last night was the premiere of The Invention of Lying or as I see it, last night was was the night that Jennifer Garner let everyone know that she does like Ricky Gervais but does not like Rob Lowe.

Clearly, Jennifer has her pre-baby body back into fighting form.  She wore an absolutely beautiful sheath dress by Gucci that is hand-embroidered and beaded.  Speaking of looking svelte, check out Ricky Gervais, huh?  Though he’s been known for pissing off fat people everywhere, he was always a little stout himself.  Not so much anymore.  Oh,  and he may spent too much time wagging his scrotum in his nannies faces, but Rob Lowe is still really, really hot.

Also there:  Jonah Hill, Kenny G, Jay Manuel and Paris Latsis.  If you don’t remember, Paris is the shipping heir who was engaged to the other Paris — Paris Hilton — for a short period of time in 2005.  The photo agencies are tagging him as an Executive Producer.  I wonder if he has a better grasp of the “producer” job description than his ex-fiancee?

LOLs!

Check out this hilarious interview with British comedian Ricky Gervais and Sesame Street’s Elmo. Ricky was on the set for an interview with Elmo that will air this November when Sesame Street premiers its 40th Anniversary episode.

It’s phenomenal how well the Elmo voice actor/puppeteer stays in character in the midst of all this craziness.
