British comedian Ricky Gervais is hosting the Golden Globe awards once again, our sister site Gossip Cop is reporting, citing a source involved with the show.

You may remember that, last year, Gervais found himself at the center of a media firestorm after poking fun at several high-profile celebrities throughout the show and particularly during his monologue. Shortly following, Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Philip Berk said the actor and comedian’s jokes “definitely crossed the line.”

Then, back in February, there was some chatter that Gervais would be invited to host the show once again, prompted by an interview he had in Heat magazine. And, lo and behold: He’s back!

The 2012 Golden Globes will take place on January 15th.

He is so overrated- I bet he whines about the GG again all year long next year like he did this year.

Why do they think motion picture award shows have to be revolting comedies? Does this reflect the movies they are making these days? Sheesh! Does it reflect what kind of people we have become? No wonder the country is in trouble..

I guess Tom Cruise and John Travolta will be skipping the Globes again this year. Hopefully, he’ll mock the Kardashians with a few zingers this year.
