Ricky Gervais Disses Katie Holmes For Using Tom Cruise To Get Career

When Ricky took the stage to present an award at the 72nd annual Golden Globes, we were shocked that the comedian dissed Katie, Meryl Streep and George Clooney for not deserving to be in Hollywood.
Ricky Gervais is known for below-the-belt jokes but he might have taken things a bit too far during the Jan. 11 Golden Globes. Ricky hosted the Globes from 2010-2012 and he was notorious for his incredibly mean-spirited jabs. But when he took the stage to present the award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy we never would have thought he would take a swipe at Katie Holmes!
