The Golden Globes are boring. Even the attendees tends to get drunk at it, as they pretend to like the annoying reporters from international bureaus. It's a full week since Ricky Gervais made the ceremony modestly interesting by roasting the attendees' Hollywood brethren. It was funny. Not Tonight Show giggles funny, but really funny. He made fun of Angelina Jolie, Johnny Deep, Robert Downey Jr., Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis & Demi Moore, Charlie Sheen, Tim Allen and such. The fact that we are more than a week removed from the events, and the "Hollywood elite" are still fuming from it is both astounding and revealing. "I thought he was mean," says comedy producer/director Judd Apatow on Saturday. Had the jokes been about George Bush, Sarah Palin, her kids, Bill O'Reilly, Glen Beck, Catholic Priests, Rupert Murdoch or Wall Street CEOs, they would have been rolling in the aisles. Apparently it's o.k. to be mean spirited about others (especially if they are on the "other side"), but down right RUDE if you dare say it about actors!
