Ricky Gervais, Golden Globes 2012: Who Will He Slam? (VIDEO)

Dear Hollywood, can't you take a joke?

Ricky Gervais is gearing up to host the Golden Globes once again, and if you think that he's going to hold back after causing a ruckus during last year's Globes, then think again. In fact, Gervais adamantly stands by his jokes.

"It's different films, it's different stars, but the tone is going to be the same," said Gervais, in the video below.

In part, Gervais accepted the offer to host the Globes to "annoy" the people who said he'd never be invited back, reports Associated Press.

But he isn't just digging into celebrities to be mean. After all, these are some of the wealthiest people in the world. Can't they take a little joke? In a recent interview with Esquire, Gervais said his harsh words toward his fellow celebrities have merit.

"Let's get this in perspective: They're the wealthiest, most privileged people in the world," he told the magazine. "Imagine if I had gone out there and said, 'We're all in the same gang. Aren't we brilliant? Us millionaires together.'"

So who's on his Hollywood hit list now? Kim Kardashian's 72 day marriage is one of the most obvious choices, among others. Watch the video below to find out.

I thought it was Hysterical when he went after the horrible writing, associated with "The Tourist". That movie was one of the biggest box office flops in years! Even pulling in the big names, Depp and Jolie, all they did was manage to lose more money because of their paychecks!

Even though HFPA swore they would never invite him to Host again, it was actually due to the highest ratings ever, that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association went on one knee, ate their words, and it's Hello Ricky for the third year!

I just got back from the store. I have the three P's................lol (Popcorn, Peanuts and Plenty of tissues)

Go Ricky! With all their Millions, you will still take them down a peg or two!

Why should the stars get upset with Ricky when he is telling the truth. They think they are so big that everyone has to pussyfoot around them. I am glad someone has the balls to tell it like it is. He only says what everyone is thinking yet other people are afraid to mention. They are not gods and if their behavior is bad it should be called out and not swepted under the rug. Go for it RIcky.
