Only Reason to Watch Golden Globes: Ricky Gervais

There is nothing better than watching the Hollywood elite squirm.

Rick Gervais is hosting the Golden Globes again...

Actor/Comedian Ricky Gervais, 50, came under fire last year for his offensive jokes that skewered Hugh Hefner, Charlie Sheen, Scientologists, among others. The three-time Golden Globe winner said he thought he wasn't going to host the show again, but told reporters Friday that he changed his mind after he started reading articles saying he would never be invited back. "I did it to annoy them," he said of the press.

Gervais doesn't seem to be worried about going too far or offending anyone in the room Sunday night. "I think that everyone took it well. I don't know anyone that was really outraged last year," he said. "I'd rather they laugh than gasp, but I cherish the gasps along with the laughs."

The Golden Globes air Sunday at 8/7c on NBC.

Jane Lynch to Host Emmy Awards

Organizers announced Thursday that Lynch would host the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards, airing live from Los Angeles on Sept. 18.

Lynch, a veteran comedic actress now best known for portraying the take-no-prisoners cheerleading coach on TV hit Glee, said she was "tickled pink" by the hosting gig.

"I'm looking forward to singing, dancing and sporting my finest tracksuit," she said in a statement, referring to her character's preferred garb.

Prolific film and television star Lynch took part in past Emmy host Jimmy Fallon's pre-taped and live opening number for the 2010 ceremony, at which she later earned an Emmy for best supporting actress.  She also won a Golden Globe for the role.

"Jane was my first — and only — choice as the host," said reality TV guru and Emmy executive producer Mark Burnett.

"She has incredible comedic timing and is a charismatic, talented actress whose energy leaps off the screen and stage."

Emmy nominations will be announced July 14.
