Most of Ricky Gervais’ sharpest skewers from last night’s Golden Globes (see all the winners here) were reserved for people who were not in the room: Kim Kardashian, Eddie Murphy and Adam Sandler. But he did pull out a pretty good one for Madonna, whom he introduced as “just like a virgin,” followed up with a big sarcastic cough.
Madonna bit back at the tart comic: “If I’m still just like a virgin, Ricky, then why don’t you come over here and do something about it? I haven’t kissed a girl in a few years… on TV.”
See, she’s calling Ricky a girl, ’cause… Oh nevermind.
George Clooney got a little risque too: After winning the Best Actor award for The Descendants, he thanked Michael Fassbender for taking over the full-frontal male nudity quotient in Shame. Then Clooney made the star-studded audience blush with a joke about Fassbender’s sizable five-iron.
And thank you George, for injecting some sizzle into another otherwise tame awards show. Lets hope there’s a wardrobe malfunction or something at the Oscars.
Now that Winslet has her GG, can she NOW go the fuck away?!

“Sticks it to” makes it sounds like it was a particularly harsh or witty jibe. Neither of which it wasn’t
·
Leave it to Georgie to actually advert to checking out Fassbender’s member.
·
You realize the Gervais/Madonna exchange was written by the show’s comedy writers, right?
·
Everything you see is scripted. None of the jokes are improvised.

@christopher di spirito: Elton? Have you taken over Christopher’s account? Don’t get mad because she won the award and not you..

@steve sydney: Are you drunk or high?

Oh god… yeah, painfully scripted, and Madonna’s an old, washed-up trollop with no talent or substance to speak of. She never really had anything beyond catchy pop tunes and some ill-conceived controversy over her sluttiness. I say please go away. And why did they try to reign in Ricky so much?? He’s the only reason anyone paid much attention to the GG’s in the past ten years (or more)!

While I did not see the entire show (Downton Abbey was on!) I did see Madonna’s win. She just strikes me as totally ungracious and lacking any class. Talk about lipstick on a pig…..

Are we still pretending to like this average singer who made two tolerable movies, a bunch of bombs, and a catalog of forgettable 80s pop songs?
Madge, honey, it’s 2012. Time to reinvent yourself as someone relevant.

George Clooney had the best line of the night, talking about the size of Michael Fassbender’s cock in ‘Shame’.
Madonna, with her faux British accent, squashed rack and giant insect head, was just tiresome.
