Ricky Gervais: Kim Kardashian Is a "Trashier" Version of Kate Middleton

According to Ricky Gervais, the queen of reality TV is no match for the future Queen of England.
In his scathing opening monologue (just like last year's!) at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, the British comic didn't pull any punches.

"The Golden Globes are just like the Oscars but without all that esteem," Gervais began, then bringing up the most talked-about women of 2011 to make his point.
"The Golden Globes are to the Oscars what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton," he cracked as the star-packed audience giggled. "A bit louder. A bit trashier. A bit drunker and more easily bought -- allegedly!"

"Who needs the Oscars? Not me," Gervais continued. "And not Eddie Murphy. He walked out on that," he said of Murphy, who famously accepted and then nixed his gig hosting the upcoming Academy Awards. "But when the man who said yes to Norbit says no to you..."
Rattling off his "rules" this year to appease the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (and the censors), Gervais read a list. "No profanity. No nudity. That's a shame because I've got a huge...vocabulary. But a tiny penis! And I mustn't mention Mel Gibson, his private life, his politics...and especialy not Jodie Foster's Beaver," he said of the Foster-directed flick starring Foster, 49, who giggled at her table. "I haven't seen it myself!"

10kate is so far above Kim, how can they be compared in ANY way!
People can quit picking on her.. who are we all to judge her... she's not that bad.. she's actually hardworking and never parties or get out of control like other celebs or other people... and Just b/c Kate Middleton dresses that way and seems to carry herself w/class doesn't mean she's any better...in her own home when she's all alone she could be the most b****iest woman so who are you all to compare and judge the two...
agree with Shantee
they neutered Ricky this year
Not a Kim fan, but I read that she doesn't drink, however, she DOES act more like a spoiled princess.
Yeah, that was too complimentary to Kim K. Kate is a commoner who married royaltym, Kim is a common broad who THINKS she's royalty...
Yeah he wasn't as abrasive as I was hoping he'd be. I think any comparison of Kim K to Kate Middleton is more of a compliment to Kim rather than an insult.
I dont like that guy hes not funy. Give me back woopi
Not harsh enough. Too complimentary actually
The truth hurts....
