The kids of "Glee" and "The Social Network" weren't just all right after the Golden Globe Awards, they were downright giddy at several post parties, making a scene singing, dancing and celebrating their wins during one of Hollywood's most booze-and-boogie-filled nights.

Stars spilled into multiple soirees spread around the Beverly Hilton Hotel after Sunday's awards ceremony, indulging in champagne, upscale comfort food and mutual back-patting into the wee hours.

Ricky Gervais says he agreed to do a second turn as host of Sunday's Golden Globe Awards because he wants "to do a proper job this time."

"I don't think I went far enough," continues the comic actor-director-writer-producer. "Obviously not, because they invited me back. So, I'm going to do it again, do a proper job. And I guarantee they will not invite me back."

This year's Globe contenders should provide Team Gervais with a bounty of comic fodder, including best-picture…

Thailand's National Film Board has rejected a movie about a transgender father struggling to raise two children, a ban that the director says highlights the conservative side of Thai society despite its freewheeling reputation.

The board ruled this week that the film, "Insects in the Backyard," cannot not be shown in Thailand because it is immoral and pornographic.

Director Tanwarin Sukkhapisit told The Associated Press on Friday that the scenes deemed offensive by the board…

The Chicago Bears vs. Minnesota Vikings match up on ESPN's "Monday Night Football" was the evening's most-watched primetime program on broadcast and cable, as 17.1 million viewers tuned in for the blow-out 40-14 victory by the Bears.

Television logged its share of ups and downs in 2010.

Way up there: Betty White.

Way down: The audience for "Parker Spitzer."

Down and out: "Law & Order," abruptly axed after 20 seasons.

The top 10 films of 2010, according to AP Movie Writer David Germain:

1. "Winter's Bone" — Yes, there's a banjo, yet director Debra Granik's country-noir gem is anything but the usual backwoods tale loaded with white-trash cliches. Jennifer Lawrence offers a star-making performance as a teen carrying the weight of the Ozarks on her shoulders as she doggedly confronts the region's crime clan to find her missing dad and save her family's home. The filmmakers present a raw,…

The thoroughly underwhelming romantic comedy "How Do You Know" in no way makes the best use of its starry cast — not Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd or Owen Wilson, and most certainly not Jack Nicholson.

But we're going to be glass-half-full around here and use this as an opportunity to look back at the best of Nicholson's work. Now, given that the man is prolific and we only get to choose five films, this isn't going to be comprehensive. We'll try our best, though, and you're welcome to…

Natalie Portman's ballet drama "Black Swan" led contenders Monday for the Critics' Choice Movie Awards with a record 12 nominations, among them best picture and actress.

Investigators on Friday were taking fingernail swabs from the boyfriend of a fashion designer found dead in a bathtub at a posh hotel in the hopes of finding evidence that may help them determine how she died.

Police obtained a search warrant that also allowed them to take photos of Nicholas Brooks, the 24-year-old son of "You Light Up My Life" songwriter Joseph Brooks. He has been with police since his girlfriend, Sylvie Cachay, was discovered around 3 a.m. Thursday at the Soho House…

Poetry by imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo (lee-OO' show-BOH') is coming out in the U.S.

Graywolf Press announced Thursday that "June Fourth Elegies" will be published in 2012. It is a bilingual edition of verse by the 54-year-old Chinese dissident and literary critic.

Liu is serving an 11-year prison sentence for subversion handed down last year after he co-authored an appeal for human rights and political reform.

The title of his book, which has not come…
