Ricky Gervais is returning as the host of the Golden Globes despite putting some of Hollywood's most important noses out of joint last year. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) announced through Twitter Wednesday that Gervais will take his third turn as Globes host in January. His to close-to-the-knuckle jokes last year - including digs at Charlie Sheen's and a swipe at Angeline Jolie and Jonny Depp for their part in The Tourist - left many doubting he would be invited back. The organization acknowledged on its website that “not everyone is happy with the decision” to bring Gervais back because “his blunt one-liners targeting big-name celebrities caused anger and resentment in some quarters.” At the ceremony earlier this year, Gervais joked that the HFPA accepts bribes and swiped at stars such as Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis and Robert Downey Jr.
