Ricky Gervais risks cancellation over eyebrow-raising Walk of Fame award speech
Comedian, Ricky Gervais, has been awarded a coveted Hollywood Walk of Fame Award in Los Angeles, but risked getting cancelled when he made a speech accepting the honour Ricky Gervais risked getting cancelled on Friday when he accepted a prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame award. The outspoken comedian, 63, was bestowed the honour for his services to the entertainment world and posed proudly for snaps with his very own star on Hollywood Boulevard at the iconic landmark in Los Angeles. Dressed casually, sporting a black T-shirt, jeans, trainers and sunglasses, The Office star admitted he was "surprised" to be part of the Walk of Fame, which boasts a number of huge A-listers from the past and present. However, risking the honour with a follow-up statement, Ricky made a joke about being grateful to join some of the legends memorialised on the boulevard as he referenced Michael Jackson, Bill Cosby and Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle — all of whom have faced accusations of sexual assault. "Thank you so much for this honour. It's a genuine thrill to be part of such an exclusive club," Ricky said, reports Variety. He continued: "And just looking around earlier at all the other stars, absolute icons, you know? Michael Jackson, Bill Cosby, Fatty Arbuckle." All three men went to trial for their alleged crimes, but only The Cosby Show star, Cosby, was convicted for sexual assault – but later had the conviction overturned – while Jackson was acquitted over molestation allegations and Arbuckle was acquitted of rape and manslaughter. Ricky, who left the Golden Globes audience skewered in 2020 when he made 'woke' jokes about Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein and Prince Andrew, began his speech, saying: "Wow, this is a huge surprise. I never thought I'd win this today." Unfolding a piece of paper, he went on: "I haven't even prepared a speech or anything. I should firstly apologize for how I'm dressed. This isn't me trying to be cool or disrespectful to the establishment. This is me not having a suit that fits anymore." He later joked about how his job is to be "not very good at taking things too seriously" and delivered his controversial comments about the company he was keeping on the Walk of Fame despite saying he was "going to try and be serious". Ricky is no stranger to a raised eyebrow with his speeches and left the Golden Globes audience in 2020 open-mouthed with his controversial delivery. Hosting the ceremony for the fifth time, the comedian went off on an eight-minute monologue criticising various aspects of Hollywood, bringing in issues of racism, the Epstein scandal and finishing the speech with a jab at every 'woke' celebrity that tries to lecture the world as they're receiving the awards. Ricky was slammed by many celebrities the morning after the awards, with several accusing the After Life star of being 'cruel' and 'unkind' as he poked fun at the toast of Tinseltown. However, responding to criticism on Twitter, now X, the comic said: "Thank you for all your amazing comments about my Golden Globes monologue. Best reaction ever, that means a lot to me. "I had a blast but thank f*** it's over so I can get back to my real job of editing #AfterLife2 and touring #SuperNature. Makes jokes not war."

Maleah Joi Moon, Tony Winner, Cast As Lead In ‘A Different World' Spinoff Pilot
Netflix's A Different World spinoff pilot officially has its leading cast. Tony-winning actress Maleah Joi Moon stars as Deborah Wayne, daughter of Dwayne and Whitley (Kadeem Hardison and Jasmine Guy). The show is described as a 'sequel to the 1987 sitcom' that follows the couple's youngest daughter as she attends an HBCU. It's not confirmed if she'll be attending her parents' fictional alma mater, Hillman College. The rest of the cast includes series regulars Chibuikem Uche as Kojo, Cornell Young as Shaquille, Jordan Aaron Hall as Amir, Alijah Kai Higgins as Haggins, and Kennedi McClure as Hazel, Deadline reported. The spinoff pilot has been in development at Netflix since 2024. It's a one-off and and not part of a strategy shift at the streamer. Deadline explained, 'The pilot model in general is more often employed in comedy as a proof of concept for tone, chemistry among the ensemble cast, comedic timing and other key ingredients of a successful series.' The pilot is set to film in Atlanta this June with Debbie Allen directing and showrunner Felicia Pride penning the script. The new series is being helmed by Pride. Allen, Mandy Summers, Tom Werner, Gina Prince-Bythewood and Reggie Bythewood will also serve as executive producers. Allen, Werner, Prince-Bythewood and Bythewood all worked on the original series, which was a spinoff of The Cosby Show. It ran for six seasons and initially centered around Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) and her new classmates at Hillman. However, Bonet exited after the first season and the show continued with series regulars Jasmine Guy, Kadeem Hardison, Dawnn Lewis, Darryl M. Bell, Charnele Brown, Lou Myers, Cree Summer and Glynn Turman. More from 'Red Table Talk' Shares First Look Into Their 'A Different World' Reunion Taraji P.
