Golden Globes 2012: Madonna Hits Back At Ricky Gervais

First Posted: 01/15/12 11:36 PM ET Updated: 01/15/12 11:55 PM ET

Tensions were high at this year's Golden Globes as Ricky Gervais took on hosting duties once again, but the British comedian quickly learned not to mess with one nominee: Madonna.

Gervais introduced the nominated singer-turned-director on stage to present an award and referenced a few of her '80s hits.

"OK, our next presenter is the Queen of Pop. Not you, Elton [John], sit down," Gervais said. "She's all woman. I'll give you some clues. She's always vogue. She's a material girl. And she's just like a virgin."

Madonna dished the jokes right back to Gervais, much to the delight of the star-studded crowd.

"If I'm still just like a virgin, Ricky, then why don't you come over here and do something about it?" she taunted. "I haven't kissed a girl in a few years -- on TV."

Perhaps the songstress, who won a Golden Globe for Best Original Song for her film, "W.E.," was just in a fiesty mood. While accepting her award, she referred to The Weinstein Company head honcho Harvey Weinstein as "The Punisher."

Leave it to Madonna to cause some drama on the stage.

Ugh, that fake brit accent is so pretentious. She is STILL so fake and superficial. Her movie was panned by critics for being one long, glossy music video. Her talent has always been taking what others create and using it to her benefit. Now it seems she's channeling Angelina Jolie, but doing a very cheap imitation of her. I don't think there is a sincere bone in her body.

I adore Madonna and not just because she's from Michigan!!

To everyone agreeing that her acceptance speech was self-involved, and narcissistic - Erm. Who's HER acceptance speech supposed to be about exactly? Not to mention the fact that she thanked several people, even people that had nothing to do with that particular award. Hating without a reason is just pathetic.

I thought Madonna was funny (and looked great). Too bad more of the fabulous stars couldn't muster a sense of humor. Did they not realize that the cameras were on their pouty faces?

Her lame attempt at humor (in her fake British accent) was one of the most cringe-worthy moments of the evening...I almost felt sorry for her, but I realized she is so self absorbed and vain, she probably thought she killed it. And then I did feel sorry for her.

Madonna is completely self-involved and she clearly showed that in her very narcissistic acceptance speech. NO CLASS WHATSOEVER.

Is your husband's name Elton by any chance? Because you sound just as bitter... Who's HER acceptance speech supposed to be about? You? Not to mention the fact that she thanked several people, even people that had nothing to do with that particular award.

What was Elton's problem? He looked like somebody hid all his money and made him stay at a Motel 6. BTW, to the editor of this piece: Everybody knows who Elton is...you don't need to put (John) in parenthesis. LOL
