Ricky Gervais Is Breaking Records On The Science Channel!

Not a HUGE shocker, given how successful the show was in its first season!

The numbers are in, and the season premiere for Ricky Gervais/Science Channel's An Idiot Abroad 2: The Bucket List was the network's most-watched telecast EVER in key adult/male demographics! Wowsa!

The show brought in 1.3 million viewers for its Saturday night premiere, which is VERY impressive for Science Channel!

Here's what Ricky had to say about the show's success:

"It's fantastic news. I won’t be satisfied until Karl is as big a phenomenon as Justin Bieber. I just hope it doesn't all rest on hair."

Ha! And for those who aren't familiar with the show, here's how it's been described:

"In AN IDIOT ABROAD 2: THE BUCKET LIST, [Karl] Pilkington is coerced into round two of the world’s most hilarious social experiment, as Gervais and Merchant force him to complete 'the ultimate list of things to do before you die.'"

"However, the list – compiled by Gervais and Merchant – is geared more toward the personal torture of Pilkington than it is for his personal fulfillment. Over eight episodes, Pilkington attempts to survive challenges including bungee jumping, taming cobras and swimming with (Read more...)

6 Celebrities Who Don’t Want Children

These 6 celebrities have all said that they won’t have kids. Although some are still young and may change their minds, others are probably too old to have children naturally, and made a decision when they were younger that having children was something they didn’t want to do. Helen Mirren says she never felt that maternal instinct to have children, while comedian Seth Rogan doesn’t like dealing with the hard parts!

Helen Mirren

Helen Mirren never felt like she needed children in her life: “I’m just not interested. I’ve no maternal instinct whatsoever. And I don’t think I’m so unusual. I think an awful lot of women don’t really want children but feel they ought to. They think there’s something wrong with them if they don’t want to, but it’s not true. I’m so happy I don’t have children. But I do love children and I’ve got family, and Taylor has children that I’m involved with – and with great pleasure – but it’s just not for me.”

Simon Cowell

Simon Cowell says he never wants kids because he was horrible when he was younger: “I was obnoxious as a child. I definitely showed a nasty streak when I was about three years old and I remember insulting my mother. I will never ever have children because I don’t want a me. I’m serious.”

Seth Rogan

Seth Rogan likes playing with children, but is glad he can hand them back when they get cranky: “All my friends are having kids and my sister just had a baby last year, and it makes me not want to have kids. It’s very nice just playing with (my sister’s baby) and then as soon as it becomes difficult, you just hand it off.”

Ricky Gervais Says Third Time’s The Charm And He Won’t Be Trying For A Fourth!

Ricky Gervais has called it quits, saying Sunday's performance will be his last time as Golden Globes host.

The comedian posted the following on his website:

Phew! Thank fuck that's over. I had a blast actually. It was by far my favourite of the three hosting stints. I've told my agent to never let me be persuaded to do it again though. It's like a parachute jump. You can only really enjoy it in retrospect when you realise you didn't die and it was quite an amazing thing to do.

The crowd were great this year too. I think they finally worked out that my gags only seemed rude and nasty but were actually not too scary at all. Or they were just drunker. Either way, it was fun but I'm glad to say I'm off to New York to chill out a bit. Ahhhhhh. And relax.

We're sad see that Ricky will be ending his hosting run...or is he?!

Last year, Ricky said he wasn't coming back and this year, and some say his jokes were "too tame."

What do U think? Should he try for a fourth go around?

Kim Kardashian Loved The Attention She Got When Ricky Gervais Roasted Her!

Nobody is safe when he hosts the Golden Globes! Not even reality stars.

Yep! Ricky Gervais got Kim Kardashian too!!

After calling her a trashier Kate Middleton, bought for way less, he joked about watching longer James Cameron acceptance speeches than her marriage!

But of course Kim is all smiles about it. She insists she thought all the joking was really funny and that she had a good sense of humor about it.

Okay... now we know everyone is rolling there eyes at that, but we believe it! We HIGHly doubt she was upset...and here's why...

By grouping her in with his Golden Globe jokes this year, he invited her name in with the A-listers he's always known to offend.

She's laughing all right. She's laughing all the way to that jeweled high of self-esteem right now, LOL!!

Madonna Offers Ricky Gervais A Kiss [VIDEO]

Golden Globes Ratings Continue To Glow With Ricky Gervais!

This year's Golden Globes festivities remained on par with past stints hosted by Ricky Gervais.

The show's run onf NBC ended with a 11.7 rating, only a tenth below last year's 11.8.

The Globes got their initial Ricky spark with a 11.9 during his first appearance in 2010. This combined with a 14% spike from 2009 could determine why the comedian is asked to come back every year!

Ricky Gervais Slams Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber in Golden Globes Monologue

Compared to his monologue from 2011, Ricky Gervais took it very easy on celebrities to open tonight's Golden Globe Awards. Celebrities in attendance, that is.

The comedian did get in a couple of digs at two THG mainstays, however, first comparing this ceremony to the Academy awards via this zinger:

“The Golden Globes are to the Oscars what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton. A bit louder, bit trashier, bit drunker, and more easily bought... allegedly.”

Gervais then turned his attention to Justin Bieber, referring to his paternity test scandal and expressing shock at the mere notion of Bieber as a father. Quipped the host:

“The only way that he could have impregnated a girl is if he borrowed one of Martha Stewart’s turkey basters.”

Eh, not bad. Fairly random, considering music is the one industry NOT recognized by the Golden Globes, but, hey, being referenced in a monologue means you've really made it. Wait, no one tell that to Kim.
