I think the only good thing to come out of Steve Carell leaving The Office is that it has sped up the process of getting the shows creator Ricky Gervais to reprise his role of David Brent! (Gawd I hope he is motivated to dance!)

Here is the scoop from Ausiello:

With Ricky Gervais returning as Golden Globe host, expect to be offended!

Having the opportunity to talk to Ricky Gervais was a dream come true. As a self confessed Anglophile, Mr. Gervais was definitely on my list of people who would cause me to run outside and do a cartwheel if I ever exchanged words with him.

And while I did attempt the cartwheel (and nearly smooshed my dog Peetie in the process), I did get to chat up the creator of The Office and Extra’s about his upcoming Golden Globe hosting duties for the second year in a row.

Ricky Gervais stays trim

With summer quickly approaching, it seems like everyone is working really hard to achieve that elusive perfect body. Within the last couple of months, Ricky Gervais has surprised his fans by slimming down as of late.

He was photographed jogging near Hamstead High Street in London, England on Sunday, May 23rd.

Ricky Gervais is getting animated!

British comedian Ricky Gervais is taking the United States by storm! His voice is set to star in a 13-episode animated comedy series early next year on cable giant HBO.

“The Ricky Gervais Show” will be based on his extremely popular and overly hilarious podcasts and will include his former co-stars Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington. Having heard a few of those myself, I know they usually revolve around Karl’s brainless answers and Ricky going on about how dumb he is! Sounds great!

The show will premiere on February 19th.

But you can catch Ricky before then! He will be hosting he Golden Globe Awards on January 17th, 2010.
