Ricky Gervais News

Actor Johnny Depp will make a cameo appearance on this Sunday night's episode of the new HBO comedy series LIFE'S TOO SHORT. In the episode, which airs Sunday, March 4th at 10:30 pm, Depp plays a slightly deranged version of himself who seeks some acting tips from series star Warwick Davis.

Filming has started on the next season of BBC AMERICA's highest rated series Doctor Who in Cardiff, Wales. This season will see the last days of the Ponds, with Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill returning for their final rollercoaster voyage with The Doctor (Matt Smith). Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) have been at the Doctor's side for more than two seasons but what will he do after their heartbreaking departure?

BBC AMERICA, OLN, and Channel 5 announced today that production is underway for their newest original travel-adventure series, WILD THINGS WITH DOMINIC MONAGHAN (8 x 60).

He's a self-aggrandizing actor who's appeared in some of Hollywood's biggest hits. But now his career is on the wane, and he'll do anything to reverse his fortunes.

From Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, LIFE'S TOO SHORT is a faux documentary starring Warwick Davis ('Willow,' the 'Harry Potter' and 'Star Wars' films) as a fictionalized version of himself: a little person who's down on his luck, desperately trying to hustle and connive his way back into the spotlight.

Last night, January 15, the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards were held in Beverly Hills. In the video below, nominee Elton John chats on the red carpet about the ceremony and preparing for Ricky Gervais. Click below to hear what he had to say!

According to rating's reports, NBC's presentation of the 69th Annual Golden Globe awards showed a slip in the ratings this year. The awards show delivered 16.8 million viewers and a 5.0 rating among adults 18-49. That's down 4 percent from last year in the key adult demographic, though off only 1 percent among total viewers.

Meryl Streep and George Clooney were among the many winners at last night's live broadcast of the 69th ANNUAL GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS.

Meryl Streep Got Bleeped. So goes the 2012 GOLDEN GLOBES broadcast and its destined subtitle for all time. A gallon of gaffes and a ton of risque fun made the night more memorable for its moments of awkwardness amidst technical tomfoolery, and, the many, many surprises in the winning categories, to make it an award show worth watching - but, at what cost? THE ARTIST, THE DESCENDENTS and Harvey Weinstein productions in general were the cause celebre of the entire affair, all things considered, with everything from MY WEEK WITH MARILYN's Michelle Williams and THE IRON LADY's Meryl Streep to Madonna's W.E. taking home gold. Showtime's HOMELAND took many of the top wins in the TV categories, though some truly sensational and exceedingly superb fan-favorites got their due, too - AMERICAN HORROR STORY's Jessica Lange and GAME OF THRONES's Peter Dinklage both received their rightful trophies for their exceptional work on two of the finest dramas on television (both nominated, but unfortunately losing out to Showtime's tense war drama HOMELAND). Laura Dern's effervescent showing on Showtime's ENLIGHTENED and Kelsey Grammer's brusque and brilliant BOSS also unexpectedly ruffled some probably prognosticator's feathers, as well, with their wins. Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese were saluted for THE ADVENTURES OF TIN TIN and HUGO, respectively, showing clear evidence of not one but two long-standing titans of Hollywood remaining at the top of their field for decades with no foreseeable end in sight. While warm-heartedness was sporadic and spicier, spacier fare was more the special of the day, there was plenty of delectable dessert - a gold-flecked tart, let's say - to go around.
