Trailer for Ricky Gervais’ "Ghost Town" Sets Expectations to ‘Disappointing Mediocrity’
It’s been argued for awhile that Ricky Gervais is a one-trick pony, always playing variations of the same exact obnoxious character. True as that observation may be though, that doesn’t make that particular character any less hilarious. Between The Office and Extras, I don’t think there’s an actor alive who’s managed to put me on the verge of tears with laughter as much as Gervais has done. It’s sad then, that the only role Gervais knows how to do is being so utterly wasted in American cinema.

In the Battle of the British Funnymen, Simon Pegg Calls Ricky Gervais a 'Fat Idiot' [Pick Your Side]
In the annals of celebrity feuds, we tend to prefer the light-hearted frivolity of a Seth Green/Shia LeBeouf dustup to the knock-down, "no one gets away unscathed" fights like Alec Baldwin on Greg Garcia. That's why we're so stymied by the latest and most unlikely entry in the feud genre: the war of words between Shaun of the Dead star Simon Pegg and Ricky Gervais, the Emmy-honored creator of Extras and The Office. So far, the battle (instigated by Pegg's mouthy appearance on a British radio show) is one-si

Ricky Gervais learned recently what Americans ... [White Teeth]
Ricky Gervais learned recently what Americans expect of celeb smiles when a journalist complimented his willingness to wear unflattering false teeth for his role as a dentist in Ghost Town — though they were actually his natural teeth. While bad British teeth are a comedy cliché in the U.S., the Brits find our obsession with unnaturally straight and white teeth bizarre. "Americans have the idea uniformity is equivalent to looking good. The British character is more free-spirited, more radical," says Prof

Oscars to Be 100% Funnier/Gayer With Ricky Gervais and Bill Condon At The Helm [Dream Team]
Are you still trying to scrub the memory of those heinous Emmy awards from your brain? Perhaps this rumor will do the trick. We can all agree that one of the only bright spots of the awards were when Ricky Gervais did that “give me my Emmy” bit with Steve Carell. Well, according to E-Dubs (that’s Entertainment Weekly for you laymen), after that performance, “his reps were besieged with inquiries about his availability and were urged to book a meeting with Academy Awards organizers, stat.” So does

SIMON’S BLOG: Ricky
So apparently I have "slammed" Ricky Gervais in the press as being a "fat idiot". Oh dear. Ricky's comments about the British film industry were definitely a little unfair but whatever I said on Heart FM was intended in the spirit of mutual teasing that myself Ricky have always indulged in. I am in not position to genuinely accuse anybody of being fat, or for that matter of being an idiot. Whatever public feud is subsequently encouraged/fueled/blown out of proportion as a result of this, it is entirely the
