Gervais stands his ground over Globes performance

LOS ANGELES -- Academy Award hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco are unlikely to be seeking tips from Ricky Gervais. The British comedian was brash, profane and cruelly funny at Sunday's Golden Globes, delivering his trademark humor as promised for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in his second go-round as host of the ceremony that has "butt-talking" appearances by Jim Carrey and Jack Nicholson in its history. Gervais was anything but boring. But unlike last year, he turned very personal.
