RICKY: I MAY REALLY BE DRUNK THIS TIME

H

ollywood beware! Ricky Gervais has warned that he may “really be drunk” when he hosts the Golden Globes awards show on January 15. The controversial British comedian whose remarks at last year’s show offended some of the  star guests told Matt Lauer on the Today Show: “Controversy is irrelevant to me…I do it my way and they don’t know what I am going to say until I say it.” It is the third time Ricky has hosted the Golden Globes  show and although he said last year he wouldn’t do it again, he explained: “What tipped the balance was all the people saying I’d never be invited back. That’s like a red rag to a bull.” He dodged the question of whether he would tone down his remarks this year but gave a hint of what is to come when he admitted: “Whenever I go out live I could always say the wrong thing.” And then he added: “And I might really be drunk this year.”
