Ricky Gervais looks set to return as the host of the Golden Globes. Aida Takla–O’Reilly, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and Doug Vaughan, NBC’s head of specials, were spotted at a dinner with Gervais at Chez Benoit in Paris. While NBC’s ratings shot up last year, Gervais was warned he could never work in Hollywood again after his brilliantly spiked jokes at the expense of stars including Charlie Sheen and R
obert Downey Jr. Gervais recently said NBC had asked him back, but he wasn’t sure he’d do it. But our spy told us, “The Champagne was flowing and glasses were clinking.” NBC declined to comment.
Globes encore?
