Ricky Gervais: I won't be cruel or distasteful at Golden Globes
Gervais said today in conference call that won't do politics or anything that will offend when he hosts the Globes: "I'm going to certainly not do anything cruel or distasteful," he says, "but I think gentle ribbing. Anyone who's younger and thinner and richer and more attractive than me. … Rainn's Wilson's safe again. Steve Carell's on the cusp." PLUS: Gervais is a diehard "Dexter" fan — plus, he wants Ryan Gosling on "The Office."
