In his first televised interview since his controversial Golden Globes performance, comedian Ricky Gervais stood by his celebrity taunts -- saying that he doesn't believe he did anything wrong. On Thursday's Piers Morgan Tonight, Gervais told Morgan that the Hollywood Foreign press knew exactly what they were getting when they offered him the high-profile hosting gig.
"They hired me for a job, and if they didn't want me, they shouldn't have hired me," Gervais said matter-of-factly. So how does Gervais justify his attacks on beloved stars like Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp? He believes that they couldn't possibly have become so successful in the first place without being able to take a joke. "Johnny Depp is one of the most successful, richest, most loved, most handsome people on the planet, and I'm sure he's got a sense of humor," Gervais told Morgan. "If he hasn't, all those things are wasted. But I'm sure he has. Do you really think that he hasn't seen the press about The Tourist? Do you really think he's hurt that I didn't like The Tourist?"
